Monoprice Curved Ultrawide Gaming Monitor 34", 165Hz, Adaptive Sync, ‎142772 Review

Hello, I bought this monitor to replace my 25 inch VIOTEK 1920x1080 monitor and I couldn't be happier. I decided to leave a review because there were so few reviews for this product and after looking at many Youtube reviews of this monitor I found two comparable options, the AOC CU34GSX and the VIOTEK version. At the time of purchase it was the cheapest for me ($450) so I got it. Delivery was great. The monitor is placed between two pieces of foam that fit snugly against the sides of the box…

Excellent panel contrast as well as color as it is a Samsung QLED. There are no complaints about picture quality or smooth motion. I don't have any review units, but the color and backlight uniformity is impressive for this price point when you get the angle right with such a massive panel. While it looks pretty good on paper, there are a few things to note: Monocena isn't a big brand, so their OSD looks more like something more budget-friendly with fewer features. It won't be bothersome other…

Update June 2021: I bought two of these displays in October. As stated in the original review, one of them has completely failed and does not display a picture. It was quickly replaced by Monoprice support, but unfortunately that didn't end my problems and the display replacement revealed the defect as well. Monoprice support gave me a workaround to replace this new faulty display and so I'm updating this review to reflect the fact that I no longer recommend this company or any of the products…

For the price this is a great monitor. The colors are beautiful, the size is perfect and the refreshment is clear. Bright insanely bright and dark. Darkness. This monitor is so bright that I have to look away when playing a bright game - it's great. The only real "minus" of this monitor is its features: there are none. Features a very fine picking. You get a huge quality monitor at a good price in exchange for all the bells and whistles. If I had the choice, I would still buy this monitor with…

Amazing quality, great quality overall! The only issue I had was the slightly uneven backlighting, but that was only really noticeable on black screens, and for how cheap it is, can't complain. I highly recommend it though, the extra space compared to the 27 inch screen is well worth the extra money!

It was a little more than I wanted to spend but I think it was worth it. Haven't played with it yet, but the picture is crisp, the colors are vibrant and it's great for multitasking. I'm an engineering student, so having 3D modeling software as well as various resources on a screen that's big and clear enough for me to read and see details has made my workflow a lot easier. I'm pretty sure it should play just fine when my new computer is ready too. The current one doesn't keep up with modern…

I've had this monitor for a week in daily use for work (mostly text editing on a MacBook Pro) and Windows gaming. Like many of you reading this, I've used fairly standard 24-inch 60Hz IPS monitors (Dell, LG, and even the older Monoprice) prior to this monitor. The difference is fantastic. Below are some of the less obvious observations I've observed so far. :• I connected two cables to the DP jacks (one is always connected to my tower and the other one I will connect to my MacBook when needed)…

I really want to like this monitor because of the promising quantum dot display, but the Monoprice brand quality control is so bad. Two dead pixels straight out of the box. The color is wrong and needs a lot of adjustment to make it look good. Double scrolling is very noticeable. The monitor is not stable at all on this stand, just touch the OSD buttons on the bottom and the whole screen will move up and down. Choose a monitor from other well-known brands such as Acer or LG. Don't waste your…

Couldn't find detailed reviews anywhere so here it is. Long review warning! I ended up buying this monitor from Target because Revain didn't have it in stock at the time I needed to buy it. It looks pretty good (based on a 16" MacBook Pro with a 2019 Retina display), not as sharp as a Retina display, but it looks darn good! I had to tweak a few settings right away to fix the black dot and making the display brighter to at least bring the video quality closer to my laptop, it runs smooth and…

Overall a great gaming monitor. I've been playing it for several weeks. The bend towards the monitor is striking. I personally like it. Picture quality is excellent for a $500 monitor. For this price I totally agree with the lack of some features. Fastening is non-standard and permanent. The stand fits most people. Slightly low for me HDR is a joke. I couldn't get it to work currently. When I turn on both the game and the monitor, the monitor seems to go very dark. If you need good HDR, keep…

I didn't know whether to try this monitor or not as there are practically no reviews about it. But I'm very happy with it. Before that I had two 27 inch monitors. One was an ASUS 1440 165Hz and the other was an LG 4k monitor. I have to say that the display and overall quality on this monitor is almost on par with these. However, it needs some tweaking to be good. It requires a bit of fiddling with some settings to keep games running smoothly. I would recommend it to anyone on a budget. This is…

Both the original and replacement monitors had two to three dead pixels after a few days of normal use, severe ghosting with sluggish response times, and dark text on a light background had dark spots. There are better monitors for the money.

Turns off spontaneously after a year or so, when gaming or watching videos the monitor turns off by itself and after a while. Not all the time, but often. Before that I liked this monitor but since then I don't want to sit at my computer anymore because of this problem.

You won't find a monitor with this performance at this price point. What it lacks in features it makes up for in performance. Clearly, the color is excellent and not Mfg. problems. I couldn't ask for more. Pay close attention when looking at this size range.

There are many mentions on the product page that it is 165Hz. Only one digit shows 144hz. The monitor I received with the same part number is only 144hz and only displays 144hz
