[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's good that I can have a wide screen monitor but not sure if it's good enough to use as a secondary monitor for graphic design.
First of all, for some reason, I can't control the True Color Pro software to adjust colors.
Secondly, the resolution doesn't seem to be closer to my Macbook Pro 15" Retina.
I think price point wise, the resolution should be similar to Retina display.

The last, I can't control volume with HDMI connection.
I'm sure there must be somewhere but this basic function should be easy to find an use.

Other than those, it's pretty good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great display, however the detail could be better and lacks USB-C input. Need to wait on the 38" Thunderbolt 3 display coming out
Pros: Style/Design, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for day trading to see my charts better. I used it on my 2013 iMac Pro retina (early) and my 2014 iMac 27" without issue. Also had 3rd monitors hooked up to both machines. There were a few quirks at times (it would wake up and be blank often and I had to put the mac to sleep and wake it up again to get the monitor to display, and it would also tend to change the background resolution). These issues were unique to this monitor, so not sure what's up with that - I think it it wakes in a different resoltion then changes because on my win 10 machine when I wake it up the windows are all smaller than I left them, as if the resolution changed.). Regardless the monitor is one of my favorites. Not a clean and crisp as my imac27 or thunderbolt monitor, but a really good monitor.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Flawless so far for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I connect this monitor to my Surface Dock through a miniDP to DP cable and it works flawlessly at 3440x1440 @ 60 Hz. I sometimes hook up my Xbox One X via HDMI and play at 1080p. It doesn't look the best but the ultrawide curved format makes gameplay really immersive. I have LG OnScreen Control but don't use it much. I find just two windows side by side works best, and Windows 10 does that without any extra software. The speakers are good enough for regular desktop use. They're not great but I wasn't expecting an IMAX experience. The build quality is also top notch, and I like the USB 3.0 port on the back. I use it sometimes to charge my phone at my desk. The single navigation button on the bottom is also very easy to use. It takes some getting used to but eventually you get it down. Keep in mind the power brick is quite large, about the size of a sunglasses case.
Pros: Style/Design, ease of use, Features/Settings, Performance

Great Monitor! ... Until I Unplugged It.
on September 16, 2018

I got this monitor about a year and ago. It was awesome, and epic, and beautiful, I used it every day for gaming. I absolutely loved it.
Until I unplugged it. I unplugged it, and plugged it back in, and it wouldn't turn back on. Tried several outlets, none helped at all. We have another monitor, the exact same one, so I took the cord from it and plugged that in to my own monitor. It turned on! Ok, so it's my specific monitor's cord, that's the issue. Went to plug the second cord into it's original monitor, and now that one's not working.
So, both cords, or adapters, suddenly stopped working, after all I did, was unplug them, and plug them back in. Awesome.
Seriously? This is stupid. I love the monitor to bits. But I HATE HATE HATE the adapters/power cords.
