  • I like the size the fps of this monitor but the picture wuality is kind of crappy.
  • 30 inch curved monitor is a great size for gaming and definitely recommend it anyone looking for a quality monitor.
  • The size is amazing, I can do so much with this ultra wide monitor
  • This monitor is a perfect size for my desktop setup and it is good to get the super wide format, but those are the only good things about this monitor.
  • The 30" size is also great, overall this is a great monitor for those looking to step up from 1920x1080P.

Reviews around gaming (4.37 of 5)

  • During long gaming sessions like 10 plus hour have no issues with the monitor
  • Overall, if you're needing a good well-rounded gaming monitor, this is the one for you.
  • Your sens is super fast in the middle but slows down as you turn to the outer edges of the screen
  • 2060 Super both in fullscreen and windowed mode, even though the Nvidia Control Panel said the monitor wasn't "validated as G-SYNC Compatible"

Reviews around value (4.33 of 5)

  • I like this monitor a lot and think it is a pretty good value.
  • Overall an incredible value for the feature-set at around $250
  • Your sens is super fast in the middle but slows down as you turn to the outer edges of the screen
  • You get the most value especially since it does actually support 200hz on display port
  • Fantastic Value you may not get all the cool RGB but if you just want a good monitor for a good price this is what you want

Reviews around product (4.28 of 5)

  • It is a good product but their ate better options out there.
  • There's a warning on the side of the box when you open it saying if you do it could potentially damage the monitor, but I could see how someone could miss this and do that, and then blame the product as being defective
  • Bad product.
  • But after using the monitor for a month now, wow just wow, this company has a wonderful product for an unbelievable price..
  • Terrible product

Reviews around picture (4.24 of 5)

  • The sharpness of the picture was nice the color was nice, but the two main things the were bothering me was that the overall picture seemed faded(white) over the colors & the stretch on the image was bothering me also
  • For a low cost monitor this thing renders a great picture and is fine for light gaming.
  • I was very displeased with how bad the picture was but now with a dead pixel this is ridiculous
  • The picture is fine, but all of the button "caps" on the bottom (menu, power, volume, etc) have fallen off.
  • I have no complaints about this monitor, picture looks amazing and it performs well

Reviews around quality (4.22 of 5)

  • Either this monitor is a dud or the quality is really this poor
  • Its built soild, and has a great quality picture for price.
  • The speakers are absolutely horrible quality and are drowned out by my window fan alone
  • Great display and good quality for your job (did not try gaming)
  • : Buy something else, poor quality, display port did not display signal, super small short stand

Reviews around price (3.97 of 5)

  • But after using the monitor for a month now, wow just wow, this company has a wonderful product for an unbelievable price..
  • Solid monitor at a really good price for an ultra wide.
  • Price is a little bit steep, but if you consider you are getting a curved panel (VA) at up to 200Hz, included speakers and a display port cable (hell it even includes a screw driver) for about 300 dollars
  • I loved this monitor and was very happy with it (especially for the great price)

  • Your sens is super fast in the middle but slows down as you turn to the outer edges of the screen
  • It's a decent display for the price, but not without compromises
  • Amazing display, have 0 complaints.
  • Great display and good quality for your job (did not try gaming)

Reviews around color (3.55 of 5)

  • Like I said originally, the colors out of the box are very good and everything works as advertised
  • However, the VA panel makes dark color smearing almost unbearable at times
  • All though the colors don't pop like an IPS panel, this VA panel does a decent job with contrast and lighting
  • Its smooth, there isnt much motion blur even at 200hz, and the color is almost on point as long as you are willing to mess with the monitor settings
  • But to my delight the colors still look great (not as good as an IPS panel, but fine for my purposes)

Reviews around bite (2.26 of 5)

  • Backlighting can be a bit bright in certain spots, but i just turn the setting down, and don't have too much of an issue
  • HDMI will transfer sound, but the speakers are a bit weak, but loud enough for the work I do
  • Now, that doesn't seem so bad, but it's a bit odd that there was
  • The only downside to this monitor is a little bit of ghosting with the very dark blacks
  • A great monitor for the price, the refresh rate is pretty good, a tiny bit of

Reviews around screen flicker (1.80 of 5)

  • I saw a couple reviews saying that there were issues with screen flickering and black screening, but the majority stated it was a great
  • Worked great until today and now has developed a random black screen flicker that happens about every thirty seconds in games when in full screen mode
  • I have read many other comments about screen flickering but that has not happened to me and I have had the product for a little while
  • USB-C should be compatible with USB-C input monitors.
  • The quality was worse than what I was already using and the screen flickering was awful

Reviews around time (1.69 of 5)

  • Goes all the way up to 200hz as advertised with exceptional smoothness, HOWEVER, it's clear after 1 month with this monitor that the VA panel included is of the last-gen technology -- demonstrated by the excessive GHOSTING in dark scenes (dark-color pixels with very very slow pixel response time), and I mean EXCESSIVE, significantly worse than all the current-gen VA panels available from other brands.
  • Over all very nice and very quick respond time.
  • Great monitor but had a tough time putting it together.
  • I would scream every time a shot did not register or a melee missed
  • After that, the monitor started randomly going black (usually at the worst time in a game).

Reviews around ghost (1.61 of 5)

  • 2060 Super both in fullscreen and windowed mode, even though the Nvidia Control Panel said the monitor wasn't "validated as G-SYNC Compatible"
  • Now another issue with the VA panel included here is its extremely limited dynamic range -- you get completely washed out pic quality at brightness above 55 (no joke); but in order to limit the ghosting, you need to crank up the brightness so less dark-color pixels are displayed on screen
  • but there is a severe ghosting issue where you'll see afterimages of a moving object, ultimately making the high refresh rate useless
  • This monitor has buttery smooth refresh rate and a good display, but the ghosting is terrible
  • Unfortunately there is ghosting when pixels change from dark to bright and back, so any dark parts of an image will smear across, but I was expecting that for this type of monitor and price point

Reviews around bleed (1.49 of 5)

  • 21:9 aspect ratio, no dead pixels, very little black light bleed and up to a 200hz refresh rate
  • No issues with the VA panel, no dead pixels, no tearing, just some minor backlight bleed when the picture is pitch black
  • The backlight bleed is pretty bad.
  • This monitor is ultracool, im very satisfied ;D
  • This monitor has terrible bleed

Reviews around input lag (1.44 of 5)

  • If you are looking for an ultrawide to game on with a great picture, high refresh rate with low input lag, a plethora of ports, and lastly at a great price, this is the monitor for you.
  • I notice very little input lag
  • Your sens is super fast in the middle but slows down as you turn to the outer edges of the screen
  • but there has been no noticeable input lag for me

Reviews around motion blur (1.33 of 5)

  • Its smooth, there isnt much motion blur even at 200hz, and the color is almost on point as long as you are willing to mess with the monitor settings
  • This monitor does have noticeable motion blur and black level smearing (as you move around, dark parts of the image have a thick ghosting trail)
  • A cursor on a black screen will have noticeable halo and since it’s 200Hz with high response time you will see frames overlap and create a sort of comet or motion blur effect
  • For non competitive gaming this is a great monitor, however in fast paced FPS's there is much more motion blur than which is ideal

Reviews around pixel (1.28 of 5)

  • but I feel as though this is only gonna lead to more dead pixels
  • No dead pixels, no weird color issues, and the backlight bleed is okay
  • Picture looks great and no dead pixels or any issues yet
  • Perfect size for 1080p, no dead pixels, smooth refresh rate, excellent contrast ratio
  • Been playing a few games now and there's no dead pixels, gorgeous picture on even older games, mount is sturdy and easy to install, and the best part is the price compared to others
