I have 2 of these monitors, I plan on buying several more. And yes they come with a mounting bracket. They tell you in the store they can't be mounted. Yet they can be. I don't know why I keep asking questions. They are often wrong...
I was considering 2 of the Samsung - CHG9 Series C49HG90DMN 49" LED Curved FHD monitor but they told me they couldn't be mounted either.
Also these monitors are better and when you place them side by side, there much more area then the 49". The 49" was kind of skinny.
I will mount these after I reorganize my office / game room
These are awesome for gaming / work / home / school work / They do run hot.

TLDR: best monitor I’ve ever owned.
This monitor is excellent and ticks all the boxes for most gamers while remaining around $500. The monitor I had before was a 4K IPS panel from LG, which was also excellent when I was primarily using it for productivity while connected to my MacBook, but this new monitor honestly blows it out of the water. 1 MS response time, 144Hz with free sync at 1440p is AMAZING. The monitor is pretty big, it’s a 16:9 aspect ratio so no ultra wide, also I would recommend having a large desk as the stand, also pretty nice and sturdy, is really big and needs quite a bit of depth on your desk or the monitor will likely be too close to you. I’d recommend having a decent GPU to drive this bad boy as well. It is a VA panel, and it looks fantastic, colors are great and everything looks sharp, but of corse viewing angles suffer a bit, but it’s never really bothered me, I just notice while walking away or to my desk. Also, not a bad thing at all, but this monitor is SUPER BRIGHT. I’d recommend turning the brightness down to about 80% max or else your eyes will probably fry when a white screen comes up. All in all, an amazing monitor for those who like a big, bright display and want to play 1440p!

Gorgeous 144hz 2K - Affordable - Almost Perfect

GOOD STUFF
1. Packaging Clean - Not Fancy
2. Included items - AWESOMENESS! It includes a VESA Mount adapter. This was something that almost prevented me from purchasing this monitor as I have a 3 monitor stand. Also included power cord, display port cable, HDMI Cable.
3. Clear Crisp Gaming experience at 144hz 2k Resolution.
4. Cable Routing - and cover plate. ( See also bad 3 )
BAD STUFF ( This is so minor, mostly)
1. Light Bleed ( SO I knew this going in as curved screens are more likely to have light bleed on dark screens, only really noticeable on load screens, minor nuisance)
2. Deep - Be prepared! With included stand, this is deep like a CRT.
3. Short Power Cable. Ok... this is my only real complaint. See images attached. The cable is not only too short. Its shorter than the included display port cable. And it is a 90 degree plug, in the wrong direction. I can't install the cable cover, because the power cord won't reach with it installed. (limited to two picture upload for review. have more of lightbleed etc.)

This Monitor is able to do 2k 120hz over HDMI great for Xbox one . It's my first gaming monitor & can honestly say that I've taken my gaming experience to a whole other level. I stopped gaming on 4k 65" TV
I would definitely recommend this to my friends & family.

Amazing 1440P Monitor

I’ve been using the monitor since mid May for console gaming primarily on the PS4 Pro. The games look absolutely amazing in 1440P on the monitor! The monitor takes the 4K signal from HDMI 2.0 and downscales it to 1440P. There is no input lag and the curvature makes the screen look so much bigger than 32”. The best part of the monitor are the colors! In HDR everything looks so colorful and amazing! 10/10

Great HDR picture on my PS4 pro. Can see so many more details in game than on my older monitor. Menu and some features aren’t easy to figure out at first. Once you figure out how to change picture mode to access certain settings you can calibrate to near perfect image.

I got this monitor in May and now there is flickering pixels all over it and as time goes by gets worse. I bought it on line "new" but the box seemed otherwise it seemed refurbished, I should've went with my gut and return it right away but it worked fine at least the first couple months. If you can buy your electronics personally do it. don't trust online because most of the time they will resale returned goods as "brand new" trust me I work for a chinese company that does this with CPU's and Graphic cards. too bad My return time limit expired.

This unit lasted 17 months and now has huge image quality issues. Loved it up until this point; apparently, the extended warranty is mandatory with this monitor.

Been a great monitor. My children hit it with a broom and cracked it. So it’s a little weak, but was great for over 6 years.

Best monitor for Xbox one X

Xbox one X puts out 1440P (2K) at 120hz (120 frames per second) without freesync enabled. ( or 4k at 60hz with freesync enabled) this monitor makes my last one look like garbage...but how was I supposed to know without seeing the same games on another screen?...oh yeah the HDR is crazy...Farcry 5 vehicles headlights are crazy bright compared to my last monitor.

I use this monitor with PCs and an Xbox One X. For PC use at its native resolution, it is excellent. Good colors and clear text & images.
For Xbox One X, I set the resolution to 1440p and it looked and played great. Just for giggles, I went into settings and upped it to 4K with HDR & variable frame rate enabled. Figured I'd let the monitor handle the scaling. The difference was instantly noticed. The colors practically jump off the screen, and the contrast is insane. I can't believe the details I've previously missed in dark scenes ... all revealed to me now! I've tried it with Far Cry 5, Fallout 4, and a few different Call of Duty titles. They all look terrific. I love this monitor!

All just say. I am mostly gaming on this monitor. And for that, mostly single player gaming on PC. And coming from an 4K LG. This monitor holds up. I thought coming from 4K to 1440p would be a huge knock off. But surprisingly it isn’t. If you like to game on pc or console I highly recommend this monitor. You won’t be disappointed.

For skeptics that haven't yet made the jump to 1440p/4k, well, I'm not gonna say its groundbreaking or anything.
But it does look nice. Monitor checks all the boxes I was looking for.
It does tend to get a little warm, so if you are sitting close to it that could radiate on you.

I picked up this monitor as many said it was a solid choice for the Xbox x. Upon setup two initial issues were the size of the stand and the length of the power cord, made a few adjustments and was ready to go. Setup was very easy and this monitor checked all the right boxes for the Xbox x. Regarding performance I was very pleased however there were a few issues which resulted in my return of this item. This monitor suffered from DSE, banding, and had a burnt pixel cluster. I really wanted to like this monitor as the response/imput lag was very good, if it wasn’t for those few issues. I picked up the LG gk650 32 and I am pleased.

Bought this monitor to play PS4 and eventually PS5 and Xbox Series S on. So far it's been great! Great color and great picture! I wasn't sure about the curve at first, but it's definitely a cool look and feel!
