Almost perfect in my opinion.

TLDR: The device that was shipped to me via Revain Fulfillment was missing a DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable (meaning I can't run at 120Hz yet) and a rear I/O shield. (aspect ratio 21:9), 2) 110 dpi, 3) IPS panel and 4) high refresh rate. The "moon white" case and the bright but subtle RGB lighting on the back add class to a "gaming" monitor. The sheer size of the monitor had my desktop drooling over all the available real estate. Colors were vibrant and viewing angles were amazing. However, I

years of waiting. good for me

To be honest I was very hesitant to buy this monitor as I've been looking for the right ultra wide IPS since x34 was introduced. Since then, every subsequent product has been wrong in some way, enough to avoid. Model LG 34gk950(f or g) which I was really hoping for. It was sad to see that there were so many quality control issues. I was skeptical about the aw3420dw since Alienware is notorious for its overpriced mediocrity. Luckily, a little research goes a long way. This monitor uses the same…

A solid BIG WIN but with the right stats

A solid win, but only with the right stats. This monitor has very high specifications. The resolution is 3440 x 1440 with G Sync and 120Hz refresh rate. This is a very bright display with a peak brightness of around 450 nits. It's so bright that I only use Game 2 mode in the RPG settings, I can't use anything brighter, believe me it's incredibly bright. You have to turn off the settings of the game you're playing if it's is too bright. Okay, so this monitor is fully capable of running AAA games

Silence - my new review

I can't put into words how I really feel about this beast. It's pretty amazing. After playing the latest version of COD: MW and Borderlands 3 and trying to play on dual monitors, the bezel in the middle of the screen annoyed me. I've never owned ultrawides before, but I've seen quite a few just wandering around Best Buy whenever I go. I've never shown so much interest in one until it was in front of me. I like to buy things once and they last a long time or as long as I can. So when I saw this…

My first ultrawide monitor and I love it!

I have been using the Dell Gaming S2716DG 27.0" G-SYNC LED Backlit Monitor for 2 years and am very happy with it. to upgrade my monitor but was dying to use a gsync compatible monitor and they are a bit harder to find. I considered setting up dual monitors but figured this would be the best option.I read a lot of reviews and although the 2 year old version was a few hundred dollars cheaper money wasn't an issue so I bought a newer model I've been using it for about a week now and I love it!Most

To update. I've been using it every day for several months now. zero problems. There seems to be a bit more back bleeding in the corners now, but unless you look for it you just don't see it.

Pure Bliss is the best in my rating

I switched to this monitor from an old TN 144hz ROG Swift 1440p monitor. Like others, I was concerned about the frequency drop from 144Hz to 120Hz as I'm very sensitive to such small things, but I didn't find that to be a problem. Can't say much, but the difference is negligible, especially when compared to 60Hz vs 120Hz. Here are some quick positives: 1. The color is fantastic. Apparently coming from a TN panel, this is the first thing that caught my eye. I make a lot of photo collages for…

HONEST rating after color calibration

Let's start with some properties after calibration. This is my game calibration. It's not exactly color accurate, but there's a good reason for it. To get SRGB accuracy you need to turn the brightness all the way down to around 40. Since this monitor can output a maximum of 350 nits, this low brightness is only suitable for dimly lit rooms and general use. For games, you need to increase the brightness to see all the details. But the trade-off is the loss of color fidelity. The following…

All-in-one gaming monitor for enthusiasts

Cautions and Warnings: (Caution) Be sure to check the four brass pins on the VESA mount before attaching the monitor. The lighting area on the stand has not been working for two weeks (see photo). After taking it apart I noticed that two of the four were broken. Since then I have planned an exchange. (Warning) The monitor with stand weighs approximately 25 pounds. Handle with care.
