Not cheap, but worth the money.

  • a lot of productivity
  • effectively three screens instead of two
  • cable management

If you are used to a dual monitor setup, but are ready for something new, this is really worth considering. Not cheap, but worth the money. I chose this monitor over the Samsung LC49RG9x series because of the KVM switch that you can use between HDMI/DP on one side and USB-C (powered) on the other. Contrary to what the marketing would have you believe that this is a game monitor, you can use this monitor CORRECTLY for office work. Because the screen edges in the middle are missing, you effectively have room to use 3-4 windows next to each other. Also download PowerToys from Microsoft, for the FancyZones tool to divide your windows exactly the way you want. I've had it for a week now and can't live without it. I don't game very often, but when I do it's great on this screen.

Good choice for replacing old screen

  • Big picture
  • USB hub. Connect laptop with 1 USBC
  • Curve is nice
  • Housing feels a bit cheap

Product ordered and delivered the next day. I had also ordered a wall bracket, but M3 bolts went into the screen that were not included with the bracket. Personally, I think they are a bit small for the screen, but next in line.

Connect immediately after hanging. If you use HDMI, you will need a downstream USB-A cable for the hub to use the mouse and keyboard that you place on the screen. After connecting the laptop to USB-C and checking for dead pixels. Screen was very tight, only with a white screen such as a notepad or a browser I saw the screen become light and dark. It was also clearly visible when scrolling. After some fiddling with the settings I discovered that I had to set the "color temp" to normal. Then the image was quiet and you no longer saw any changes in the image. Have been using it for a week now with fancy zones. Works very nicely. I am not a gamer myself, but we are a power user who has many things open at the same time. Highly recommended.

Super large screen, ideal for gaming and working from home

  • 165hz screen
  • sleek design
  • Remote control is handy!
  • There is only 1 display port present

I chose this because it is 165hz with 1440p resolution. Most other screens are more expensive or only 60hz/120hz.

You can also use it for working from home, which is ideal with the amount of windows you can place next to each other.

Have it hung on the wall, with foot it takes up half your desk.

Do not regret the purchase!
