Never had a single issue out of this thing. If you're in a budget or just want a good monitor for cheap I'd suggest picking this up. It's worth it.

This is a fantastic review. I am looking at monitors for the misses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The little laptop screen is getting hard on her eyes. I thought a curved monitor might be the way to go, but since she mostly uses it for spreadsheets you have completely talked me out of the curve. Thanks again!

[@mohamedalitalaat7730]

I use this as my second monitor. My primary monitor is LG OLED 48 inch. The bleeding problem looks to me a quality control issue. My monitor does not bleed much light at 50 % brightness like any LCD monitor, you can not expect much deep black. Nothing can compete with OLED display when it comes to deep black. You can reduce the brightness and change the black level to Low from tje settings. It will help with the bleeding problem. It can't be compared to my LG OLED TV monitor but it is still a good value for a second monitor.

[@kevinr487]

Came across one of these monitors today floating amongst a sea of old toaster ovens and coffee makers at the local Goodwill Bins. After it passed a quick visual inspection for any cracks in the screen, at 99 cents per pound, I figured it was a $7 gamble I was willing to take. Just got home and plugged it in and it works great. I already love it way more than the several other monitors I have. The picture looks excellent, especially after fine tuning it using different options in the settings menu. For a hundred bucks... you can't go wrong. Well worth it. Highly recommended. By the way, this is my first curved monitor and I have it set up as a dual monitor next to my flat panel, and now I wish they were both curved.

[@AlphaLegionXX]

I have had this monitor since late 2018, and I bought it from Best Buy for around 110$. I originally bought it to use on my Xbox One because my parents always wanted to watch TV while I wanted to play games. I used it for around a year with the Xbox, then started using it as a secondary monitor for my iMac. When I built my gaming PC, I let my dad use it for work but ended up taking it back after his company provided him with a different one for free. Now I use it as a secondary monitor for my PC, and I've never had any problems with it. Edit: I overclocked it to 73hz as well LOL

[@quantavious8959]

Hi, i bought this monitor 3 days ago, And i have some questions if you can answer me I have invidia GT 1030, can i enable freesync (for 72Hz)? and would this harm the monitor? I noticed some black transparent shadow around the screen, it's not that big, it's like 2mm, I'm aware if this is a problem or normal and it's a part of this type of monitors, because when i unboxed it i pulled the frame up by mistake. And sometimes the screen goes black for a second, like once a day.

[@PankekoTheDragon]

Bro, are your grays looking redish? Because i got this montior and i noticed it kinda has a redish tint to it, also when looking at heavily dithered pictures it flickers green diagonal lines, ive checked everything and it seems to be a monitor problem, does yours have that?

[@aaravvs]

@@PankekoTheDragon nope, mine doesn't perhaps there might be something wrong with your display settings on your computer, also check if you have eye saver mode on on the monitor.

Although this is a great budget option for someone who consumes his content during daytime (VA bleed sucks in the dark) - say, a third monitor during the day job, it is insufficient for either someone who watches movies in the dark or plays dark themed games. Insufficient to the point where you're annoyed by your buying decision choice every 10 minutes of screen time. Also not good for coding with dark theme IDE (most people I know) and UE4/Blender work that requires precision. Great for Fortnite/DOTA and other games that have a lot of moving colors on the screen.
