I mainly needed a monitor for a home office situation, but the salesman told me it could work as a design and gaming monitor as well, something I do as hobby. I was immediately sold on such a versatile monitor for the price. Sadly i have to report its not. Sure the monitor is fast for games, but there's a lot of overshoot and ghosting, plus black smearing in high contrast games. The color accuracy is also really poor for design work, and im not even a professional! It is still a great productivity monitor for a good price, just dont buy it if you're serious on the other stuff. Its an obvious marketing strategy trying to oversell the monitor...view more I mainly needed a monitor for a home office situation, but the salesman told me it could work as a design and gaming monitor as well, something I do as hobby.

Was super excited to see that PB Tech was selling these monitors. Overall the build and quality and design is amazing, having a FreeSync monitor has made a massive improvement with performance now that I can turn off VSYNC. I am sure there are better monitors out there but I am super happy with this. Colour accuracy is pretty good too. Worth every penny in my opinion.

Dead pixels on first unit, not pixel but pixelS. The service team fumbled around with my time for a replacement but at least i got one, the process really should be faster. Colors are pretty muddy and brightness is not very good. The magnetic lock for the cable management cover is very convenient and the OSD is easy enough. All in all an average monitor, cheap enough for what I need urgently. Will definitely be looking for a better one properly when i get the time. Dead pixels on first unit, not pixel but pixelS.

I was initially sceptical about purchasing a more budget end ultrawide with a VA panel (after hearing a lot about issues with ghosting and black smearing). But after watching reviews, researching online and seeing the product for myself in person, I decided to go for it. I have to say I am really glad I did. Coming from a TN panel at 1080p 144hz with 1ms GtG response time I was sure I would notice the slow response times and ghosting issues that people complain these VA panels have, but after configuring the monitor to run at 144hz with gsync compatibility mode (which works flawlessly out of the box) and setting the response time to medium in...view more I was initially sceptical about purchasing a more budget end ultrawide with a VA panel (after hearing a lot about issues with ghosting and black smearing).

Coming from a TN panel at 1080p 144hz with 1ms GtG response time I was sure I would notice the slow response times and ghosting issues that people complain these VA panels have, but after configuring the monitor to run at 144hz with gsync compatibility mode (which works flawlessly out of the box) and setting the response time to medium in the OSD (the sweet spot between fast response times with minimal overshoot) I can barely notice any difference in terms of response time between my old monitor and this (granted some people claim to be more sensitive to noticing this than others).

The contrast on this monitor is incredible (probably the biggest positive for VA panels) and the colours look so much more vibrant - in fact I would say in some cases almost over saturated. It made me realise just how poor colour performance my old TN actually had. Putting the same image side by side on this monitor and my old really highlights the difference that VA panels offer over TN.

The 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio is perfect for gaming and productivity as you can have so much open at once and not feel cramped for space. The immersion that this aspect ratio offers over 16:9 is more than worth the price (looks especially good in first person racing games and fps games). And the 3440x1440 resolution is so nice and crisp to look at.

I really like the minimal design of the stand (no red accents or gamer colours) it looks really sleek on a desk and the cable management system is neat for keeping your desk space looking tidy.

The OSD menu is a little hard to navigate given that the buttons are all positioned on the back right hand side of the monitor which means it can be difficult to fumble around with them when you are sitting in front of the screen. But it's easy enough to get used to. There is a slight delay when changing screen resolutions, switching input sources or powering the monitor on, but its not a big deal.

Overall, this is an excellent monitor for the price that I would fully recommend to anyone looking for an affordable ultrawide that doesn't break the bank. If your sitting on the fence I recommend watching the review of this monitor by Hardware Unboxed on YouTube to get an idea of how this monitor performs. But unless you are looking for a colour accurate productivity display or can't stand the idea of not having 1ms response time with zero ghosting, I think this is a great purchase.

Quite the upgrade going from an old 50" 1920x1080 60hz plasma tv to 34" 3440x1440 144hz LCD. Everything is so much crisper. Adaptive sync is working well with my 10 series Nvidia card, was worried I'd need to upgrade to 30 series to drive the panel but getting 90 - 100 fps in Tarkov and WOT. Would definitely recommend.

Picked this up today after using a 24" 1080p, 60hz monitor for the last few years. Image quality is amazing and the 144hz refresh rate is insane. So far, would highly recommend.
