I bought this monitor to replace my (excellent) Samsung 27" curved monitor. Since starting to work from home, I needed some extra screen space, and this monitor seemed an excellent way to turn my crappy work laptop (with just a DisplayPort socket, but no HDMI) into something useable.
So I now have my home laptop plugged into the monitor's HDMI port, and my work laptop into the DisplayPort. It works brilliantly, excellent picture, and a great price. You can choose to have the two inputs side-by-side, but I always choose to show one or the other, full screen.
The only downside is that sometimes, looking to the far left of the monitor, I do miss having a curved display. It did help.
But, being able to write websites, with Chrome on the left, and Visual Studio Code running on the right... it's been a lifesaver whilst working from home.
And when my kids are using my TV, watching Netflix full screen on this monitor is an absolute pleasure.
One last thing: the stand is fine, but I would recommend also buying the "Arctic Z1 Basic" monitor stand (currently 43 CHF from Digitec). Being able to have the monitor at eye-level, rather than sat on my desk makes a huge difference.
Pro
Contra
I mounted the monitor with the Arctic Base table mount, everything worked perfectly, and for the price there's really nothing to be said. You can get a WQHD 21:9 34 inch for less than 400.- €.
Bought for 399.-
Pro
The stand is not worth much. The monitor rocks back and forth with the slightest vibration. The monitor has zero adjustability. Offers nothing more than 34" with appropriate resolution.
Pro
Contra
everything is bigger and sharper....it's great!
I wish it was adjustable in height.
Great size, good picture. Stand unfortunately not adjustable (neither height nor tilt nor rotation), no built-in speakers.
Pro
Contra
Good large display. But I would accept the extra price and buy a Curved.
