[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as the perfect pair to a monster computer I built, and I couldn't be happier. I mainly use it for productive purposes, but I have played a little Forza on it and Horizon especially looks very nice full screen. I can't wait for the new Flight Simulator to come out, that will be really awesome. It was very easy to setup and learn how to use it, and I appreciate the reader mode, it makes especially white websites a lot easier on the eyes after hours of work. Microsoft has a new program called PowerToys out now that has made it really easy for me to layout all my windows quickly, I highly recommend trying it. It makes much more efficient use of space than using two 27 inch monitors. I love that the stand it so wide. In addition to looking a lot nicer than the narrower stand alternative, it spreads the weight of the monitor across the desk which helps avoid bowing over time. This thing looks a lot bigger in person, it really is impressive.
Pros: Style/Design, ease of use, Features/Settings, Performance, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this monitor a month now an love it. The only thing I would change is that the button to change the screen options is on the back right side, which is hard to get to. A remote would be nice.
Pros: Style/Design, Performance, Quality

So nice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So yeah it's wide, you get that in the specs, it's the same scale as 2 quad HD 27 inch monitors. One small thing though that's just not obvious from the reviews though is that you can actually drive this monitor via USB-C if your system supports it. I plugged in into the Type C port on my 2080ti, and what do you know, Windows just connects and works without any issues. In addition the USB ports on the display still work as well. Makes for one less wire dragging across your desk, which is always a small welcome addition.
Pros: Style/Design, Quality

Really good monitor I use it for day trading
on July 8, 2019
Posted by: jon0398
Bought 2 monitors for day trading. Best investment ever. The screen is so crisp..amazing screen resolution. Make sure you use the display port not the HDMI...to get the full 5K you also need to buy a really good nvedia graphics card that has 2 display ports and supports 5K resolution. When you buy the monitor the manual shows which graphic card it supports or you can download it online beforehand.
I did not use a stand for this I just placed the monitor on top of a desktop computer and an old subwoofer... I put a notebook underneath the desktop computer to balance the height with the sub woofer... It was really hard to find a stand the support the weight of a wide screen monitor

Excellent Mated to MacBook Pro 2018...BUT...
on July 18, 2019
Posted by: LovCom
from Omaha, NE
This wide monitor works fantastically mated to a MacBook Pro 2018 model. No problems....BUT, if you have an external harddrive too close to the monitor, another computer, router, any device that gives off an electro-magnetic energy, this could cause your monitor to flicker periodically. Its because some devices are not sheilded as well as they should be. EASY SOLUTION: Keep other electronics, including the mated laptop far enough away from the monitor so that you get flicker-free awesome performance.
Pros: Performance, Quality

Great Monitor but has Issues
on April 10, 2019
Posted by: Mafro
from New York, NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this monitor for the sole purpose of running two machines side by side. One being a Macbook pro late 2017 with Touchbar Max out options. The other is a 2018 Surface Laptop. I have major issues that the monitor cannot remember what my previous setting were so when I dock one machine or another it doesn't automatically put them side by side. I have to go into the menu and set them up. Then I have to go into each computer via the laptop to enable Dual Controller(app the monitor needs so you can use one keyboard and mouse on both machines).
Dual Controller is broken but needed to run two machines with one mouse and keyboard. The app does not remember to activate it when the laptop is docked. You have to enable it on the laptop before you dock it for it to work. Its very annoying and renders the main feature for me useless.
The monitor would be great if they could get everything you need to make it do what was advertised possible. And the monitor works fine with one machine. I would not recommend the product at this time. If someone reaches out and helps clarify and remedy the issue, I will change my rating, but for now its a no-go if you are planning to use two machines side by side.
Pros: Style/Design
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I received this a few weeks ago. I like the concept of a 49in ultrawide monitor with a split screen and the ability to attach mutiple devices to same monitor. I have requested to return the monitor got the following reasons. (1) the screen is not curved enough; this makes hard to see the material at the end of the monitor because it is so far away. (2) I was not able to connect my MacBook pro, although this laptop connect fine to other monitors. (3) the instructions were not clear . (4) the software was hard to find. (5) Technical service people did not call me back, and there not available upon repeated calls.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
