Review on πŸ’™ 34 Inch Ultrawide Monitor with Blue Light Filter and 75Hz Refresh Rate - VIOTEK GFI34CB by Larry Fulcher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great monitor for less than $200 but with some caveats.

I got it as a second monitor and it looks fantastic. Thin bezels, no broken pixel issues, everything works as expected. However, there were a few issues (hence the 4-star rating): 1. Although advertised as a "75Hz monitor", 75Hz is not the default refresh rate for this monitor, you will need to overclock it via the "Overclock" menu ". Options . The manual also states that damage caused by "overclocking" (running at 75 Hz) is not covered by the warranty. WHY THEN ADVERTISE IT TO WORK AT 75Hz? To me, that borders on false advertising.2. Although advertised as a 75Hz monitor, the monitor does not run at 75Hz as there is no DP cable included and will only run at 75Hz with a DP cable which you may need to purchase. separately.3. The VESA mounting screws don't match well with the included stands, they are too long. Luckily I had smaller screws that fit perfectly, but not everyone had them. How long that will take remains to be seen. I would definitely give a 5 star rating if it didn't mention item #1 above. You could very well sell it at 60hz with the ability to switch to 75hz at some risk and it would still be an unbeatable option at this price point.
