Review on 🎮 Fiodio AF11F Curved Gaming Monitor with Speakers, 100Hz and Adaptive Sync - HD Quality by Tim Wheeler

Firstly, I didn't choose this product for Revain Vine Trial and Review because I expected it to be used for gaming. I'm not a gamer at all. But I was hoping to use it for a VERY nice split screen. Yes it is, but with limitations. I looked at the dimensions, but without a monitor with that aspect ratio, I couldn't really imagine it. Check out the FULL dimensions, especially the screen height. Just under 12 inches. Take a ruler and hold it in front of you. This is the total height you get for a vertical screen. That's enough, but not too much. Used for full screens with one image. Having said that, a split image (two different programs or images side by side) is a whole different story. Suddenly, altitude isn't such a big issue. two images side by side, EACH measuring about 11½" x 13" and about 17" diagonally. This is very handy for working on two screens at the same time. When I'm working on a document while using other documents as writing sources or a spreadsheet Using other sources of numbers, it's a lot better than my current standard aspect ratio screen, and the curvature makes it even easier because visually my eyes (and brain) aren't forced to perceive an image that wide, but spread out more in front of me. it wasn't impressive. Firstly, although I keep seeing worse and worse documentation from companies, as opposed to the wonderful detailed manuals companies usually provide for constant reference, it certainly wasn't impressive even by today's standards. At least the English was grammatically decent .But many details are missing and it is difficult to find some things di e are documented. The setup was easy to look at, but not so easy in practice. First, the three screws needed for assembly must go into VERY deep recesses before they reach the threaded hole. So it's not that easy to put the shield on top of the threaded hole and turn the screwdriver - it's hit and miss and trying to move the screws underneath by manipulating the screwdriver back and forth to try, to get the screw to start Catch the thread correctly, you have not crossed and cleaned the thread. And even then, it still wobbles a little despite the very tightened screw in the stand. The stand itself is NOT suitable for this monitor. It's a single point connection to the center back of the screen with 90º legs that don't protrude as much. If your desk or desk vibrates even a little as you move across it, your screen will visually move in front of you. We've had Samsung TVs and monitors for years, and I LOVE the two legs on the edges of the screens. The exception is a very old Samsung monitor that I still use, but it has a very solid and wide base, not just legs and feet, and it also connects to the back of the screen with a wide connector instead of one Fraction of a single point connection. This monitor just doesn't have much stability due to its stand mount. And if you want to wall mount it, there's no included hardware for that. The menu system is actually quite simple and not at all easy to master. You need to step back and under the monitor and manually touch the appropriate button, which corresponds to the icons on the front of the monitor that serve as a guide. Why not put buttons instead of icons? That would be much more user friendly. You must use the table at the end of the manual to navigate through certain menu functions, e.g. B. to find the volume control. There doesn't seem to be any backlight control, and the color, brightness, and contrast controls just wouldn't give me the kind of pleasing screen visual comfort and readability that I'm used to from our TV and other monitors. Picture quality is good, but colors are a little "off" and everything is warm/cold/etc. Settings or video compared to other options have never given me a truly realistic and comfortable visual experience. It took me a while but I finally figured out how to limit the "blue" coming from the computer (a significant problem for my wife who wears expensive blue goggles with her laptop). Again, the directions are limited and not even easy to find. VOLUME: You will NEVER get a really loud volume period! Currently my laptop is connected to this monitor and its speaker volume is set to almost 100% as well as 100% monitor volume and I have to run most YouTube videos (eg) at 100% volume as well. I am very sensitive to noise, having lost 100% of my hearing in one ear but still hearing very well in the other, and I take hearing protection very seriously so I don't lose my other ear as I get older. However, I'm not even close to the danger threshold with all three volume settings (computer, monitor, and video volume set at 100% or so). Shame for someone with hearing loss in both ears! One standout was the factory packaging. It came in an oversized Revain box with ZERO padding of any kind - just a piece of brown wrapping paper thrown in the box, the one absolute zero padding provided the monitor's factory box. . The packaging was poorly made with one end of the box partially collapsing and two sides clearly deformed from poor handling. Then a corner at the opposite end was crumpled due to the sharp intersection of the four sides. I fully expected to open the "dead on arrival" monitor. In fact, the monitor is fine! Kudos to the company and their packaging designers! would not have survived the shipment. Conclusion: will I continue to use it? Yes, and now that I've gotten used to it a bit, I'll be pretty happy with it. But of course I'm not happy. Yes I got it for free as a review (and I only have to pay income tax on the sale value) but knowing what I know now I think I would have saved up for a better quality curved widescreen monitor, and even more, would be to get the best vertical measurement on the images.
