Install Flash Player I bought this for my wifes birthday present and am very disappointed so far. Just received the monitor and I am unable to get the blacks to be anything other than medium gray. Even turning brightness and contrast all the way down, the base level darkness of the monitor is horrible thus far. Colors are washed out and overall the image is not pleasing to look at because of this. But there is something weird, in the color/brightness options, when switching to text display, there is about a quarter second while it is switching profiles that everything looks beautiful.(added video) The blacks are deep and dark, the colors look amazing. Then it goes back to everything being washed out. I have changed every setting I can find in order to figure out where the issue is, because I believe user error is the cause of most of these types of situations. After about 2 hours Im ready to give up in defeat. If I manage to find any information on ways to fix this Ill post it here for anyone else who experiences this issue. Edit: Short term solution: I ended up using the VGA cord vs the HDMI cord. Now the blacks are awesome I dont know why the HDMI cord is causing issues, but this is still not an acceptable long term solution.

The color and blacks on this monitor were very sub par, there were also dead pixels - we tried playing with settings to make it work but in the end the settings always reset and we ended up having to return the monitor.

So I figured I would write a review considering this is a decent and well built/packaged budget monitor with some caveats. 1- people complaining about washed out colors compared to "other monitors". I had the same issue until I realized my nvidia control panel set this as 1080p native resolution on Ultra HD/HD/SD setting which is a tv setting. This operates at a limited rgb range which reduces colors and has that glareing/bleeding effect people see when black image is on screen. Scrolling down on the resolution list on nvidia control panel select the 1080 under PC resolutions and here you can also set refresh rate to 75 so it can beused in games etc. This will fix alot of your color complaints. Not sure how this is handled on computers with cpu graphics or amd but you get the idea. 2- Ive been spoiled with asus gsync triple monitor 144hz setup on my main build and got used to its incredible screen rendering and refreshing through display port, even when running games at 60hz. Here there is almost like a litle shadowing/blurring when moving the camera fast on some games. It is a little uncomfortable to get used to but this might be a limitation of the hdmi port. (this is not the same effective ness as a 4k tv hdmi port which handles gaming almost like displayport) 3-The white trim (or black) on the bottom side of the monitor is SUPER GLOSSY. So if you have a light source or a keyboard with lighting and its close to the screen, you will see its reflection lit up which may or may not be distracting. 4- It looks like there is a screen protector on the monitor and I tried to peel it. Dont do this. It is not meant to be peeled and will ruin the look. 5- Sound is a bonus for a basic desk computer but dont expect anything good. Its there for utility not quality. Overall im happy with it as a simple task work computer with casual minimal gaming. Honestly I wish I had gotten a regular flat monitor as the curved gimmick is not worth it. Not a fault of the manufacturer but its just industry hype at trying to be unique.

Im using this as a computer monitor and speaker. The speaker isnt that great but I didnt expect it to be. The monitor itself is awesome. The colors are vivid, it has a game mode options that lets you easily enhance the colors with one or two clicks practically. It has analog/VGA (blue video connector) and HDMI inputs on it. The physical design of it is as good as it looks in pictures. The legs and support are solid metal(Some aluminium alloy I think). They feel solid and has an up and down angle tilt. The back is white plastic and it includes a bracket to hang the monitor on a wall mounting rack or whatever. I highly recommend this to anyone on a budget but that still wants to get a decent monitor.

*Will update later with pictures* I decided to purchase this monitor with the intention of possibly upgrade to a triple monitor config later on. It was a good price and fit the criteria. An overclockable refresh rate was a nice bonus, though I dont have a use for it right now. Comparing it side by side with my hp pavilion 23cw its not quite as vibrant, but the color contrast is fine if youre concerned about that sort of thing. It has serviceable picture quality and features for the price, but I think in retrospect I couldve had a better picture quality cheaper if I didnt value the curved screen at all. Docked a star because when the screen is completely bright, I notice a faint... I guess you can call it a mesh pattern on the bottom left corner of the screen. It may be hard to see on a picture and its certainly not worth returning it over. It also lacks some options like adjust sharpness. I wouldve gladly gave up the internal speaker for either improved quality overall or cheaper price. I didnt get it with that in mind but then again I dont think budget monitors should bother with it. I think my overall opinion on this product is that if you do any level of professional work or could do without the curved screen, look elsewhere. However, this is pretty nice when it comes to gaming. When stuff is in motion it looks great and kinda masks the shortcomings it may have. Stuff like ghosting isnt an issue. It definitely has budget gamer in mind. I wont be buying another , but Ill keep the one I have

I adore this monitor, I have had it about two months now. It has a perfect picture quality and looks absolutely stunning in my room. It has a cool stand that makes it perfect for a desk corner(where I have it) The only thing I would recommend is adding better speakers, they are very quiet. But this is an easy fix with headphones or separate speakers. You will not go wrong choosing this monitor!

My son was using a 32" flat screen tv for his computer and decided he wanted to upgrade. Since the timing was perfect - voila - the perfect Christmas gift! I occasionally sneak a peek when hes watching movies or playing games and the quality is amazing! He was thrilled with his gift and has absolutely no complaints, and neither do I. Also I was impressed with the packaging - it was double boxed so it was in perfect condition when we got it.

I ordered 2 of these. They are very nice looking, having no bezel looks really great. BUT... The first issue was the Vesa adaptor was very hard to attach. The screw holes didnt line up well and it was really awkward to even get to them. On one I had to use washers I had around to get it to attach firmly. So after a couple of hours getting that done and getting them mounted, plugged them in and NOTHING. I tried different power strips, plugged directly to wall, a different power cord from my previous monitor (so I knew it was good) - NOTHING. Ended up returning the both and getting Samsung monitors that actually power on, took about 3 minutes to attach the Vesa mount and they work!!!

The screws to the stand that supports the monitor was not tapped/fabricated properly. After several requests for a replacement stand, I finally received one about 3 weeks later. Never received a reply from the department handling the replacement part. It jus finally showed up. However, it was not the same stand that was sold with the monitor and the replacement stand is very flimsy and wobbley. I am afraid to touch or try to adjust the angle of the screen for fear the stand will break. The picture quality is the same as my cheapy old monitor. Nothing exciting and not an upgrade.
