I was looking for a new monitor and since everyone is WFH, monitors are full price and a lot of the brick and mortar places are out of stock.

Not the cheapest price ever, but in this climate, I think it's one of the best bang for buck monitors. It says it comes with 3 year warranty and 30 day dead pixel policy which is pretty promising.

    Thanks. Might as well try one.

  • MynyMouqe on 03/04/2020 - 08:01

    If this is the same one they did on a deal over the Xmas/New Year time, it's bloody fantastic! Love mine - very tempted to get another!

    Any good 4k monitors on sale?

  • mrkrazy on 03/04/2020 - 09:10

    Does anyone here have one? I pulled the trigger a few day's back but would be great to hear some reviews/feedback as Amazon reviews aren't on the top of my "Most trusted and unbiased reviews" list :)

      As I said above - I'm working off of one right now. Bloody fantastic monitor, love it and thinking of getting another!

      • mrkrazy on 03/04/2020 - 09:51

        Cool! How are the colours, viewing angle and connectivity + adjustment?

        • MynyMouqe on 03/04/2020 - 10:07
          +1

          Colours look great to me, viewing angle is really good, adjustment is tilt forward/back only (but I find it to be the right height on my desk).

          Connectivity is display port and DVI from memory, comes with a DP-DP cable (I had to buy a DP-miniDP cable separately to use on my surface dock)

      My comments from the last deal.
      Very happy with mine very temped to get another one.

      You wont be disappointed I got it on the last deal.
      Done a little gaming on it and it seemed pretty good. Descent color and I am happy with 75hz at this price.
      Just a PSA there are no speakers on this monitor.
      I have mine set up on a VESA mount the size and weight dont seem to be an issue.

      Got one last sale:

      cons:
      corner lighting can be a bit dim (typical with VA I believe) but haven't noticed any BLB
      The bottom of the unit and big power brick can get hot for a monitor

      pros:
      no dead pixels, true 2k + 75hz as advertised for good price
      VESA
      came with displayport + hdmi cables, stand
      no problems with delivery etc

      • Eeples on 03/04/2020 - 13:18

        It came with an HDMI cable?

        • laurie-oa on 03/04/2020 - 13:21
          +1

          Yep, 1x 1m HDMI, 1x 1m DisplayPort.

          • dsp26 on 09/04/2020 - 10:40

            @laurie-oa: really? I only got the one display port

            Also, mine didn't come with a power brick… straight AC cable from monitor to powerboard like the ones on computer towers.

            Do you have this monitor or you have the original flatscreen astivita monitor??

  • ONEMariachi on 03/04/2020 - 09:37

    Do they do a 27" version of this?

    • ufsta on 04/04/2020 - 22:05

      This is basically a 27" that's widescreen. I have a Logan 31.5" widescreen thinking it would be much bigger.

  • ribenaboy on 03/04/2020 - 09:45

    Does it have speaker?

    • SpaceGhost on 03/04/2020 - 11:18

      No speakers on this one.

    • dsp26 on 09/04/2020 - 10:52

      I thought it did based on the images of the rear but does not. has audio out though which sort of works

  • amanvell on 03/04/2020 - 09:58

    How is this for document & spreadsheet work? Never used a curved monitor before

    • MynyMouqe on 03/04/2020 - 10:08

      Perfect for it - it's one of the big benefits of working on a curved monitor.

      • rdhupar on 03/04/2020 - 10:14

        tossing up between this and a 34inch ultrawide (21:9) curved monitor. Not the same price of course but do you think you can open two documents side by side in portrait mode and it fits comfortably. Have used a 34inch setup in a work environment in the past and it was bloody fantastic. Didnt need 2 screens. Wondering if this is the same or not?

        • MynyMouqe on 03/04/2020 - 10:39
          +1

          That's exactly how I'm working now. I'm finding it just as usable as my dual screen setup at work.

        • ben-j on 03/04/2020 - 17:51

          For fitting many things on the screen, need to look at the resolution, not the screen size (With video and games, resolution increases are not as significant because the pictures are usually smooth so you don't see the pixel boundaries. But with the desktop or high-contrast line-drawing stuff it makes a big difference). Then choose the physical screen size for comfort — small enough where the pixels will not be too large and noticable, and depending on how far back you put the screen, you won't have to move your head around too much, but big enough so you can easily and comfortably see it all and the details, and not have to contort your body too much. 31.5 inches for a 2k (2560x1440) screen is 133 Pixels-Per-Inch https://www.sven.de/dpi/ . That is a reasonable pixel density that you can't see the boundaries between pixels. I'm happy with anything over 100 PPI. The old 17inch square LCDs at 1280x1024 used to be 90 PPI. To contrast, a 27inch or 32inch screen that is only 1920x1080 will have almost comically-big pixels at 68-80 PPI.

          A document is around 900-1100 pixels wide, when resized to see everything comfortably, in most word-processor interfaces. With 2560x1440 landscape you can fit about 2 document windows with half a window of extra space. I think you meant landscape mode. In portrait mode you'd fit 2 very squished windows into the 1440 width, or have to have them overlap, and swap between them by focusing on one or the other. But a 31-inch screen in portrait mode would be very tall and hurt your neck to look up and down.

        • dsp26 on 09/04/2020 - 10:36

          You can easily do 3. but as mentioned above, need to look at resolution. I have mine set to 2k@75hz at only 125% scaling in Windows 10

          I usually have a full vertical window at 1/3 screen width from the left for code, and two horizontals on top of each other in the remaining 2/3 width on the right.

          You have to sit at the correct eye level and distance. When I first got it, my sitting position was looking down at it so spreadsheets curved down on the sides which was annoying to look at

  • DKZ370 on 03/04/2020 - 10:04

    Are there any video reviews of this monitor? I tried having a look but can't seem to find a video review for this particular model anywhere.

  • thegurge on 03/04/2020 - 11:20

    I'm looking for a monitor that will work with a Late 2016 MacBook Pro. Would appreciate any suggestions.

    • 18 on 03/04/2020 - 11:48

      assuming u have the retina macbook, I believe this should work because Macbook Pros have HDMI 1.4 which can output QHD. Not 100% confident though. Otherwise, you'll need a thunderbolt to displayport adapter

  • Ghost47 on 03/04/2020 - 12:43

    Wow, if I had a gaming PC and gamed a lot this seems like a good deal. Really annoying that so many monitors are 16:9 though, 16:10 monitors are way better for productivity work.

    • beeze on 03/04/2020 - 12:56

      For the price, yes. Name brand are around $1000 for 34".
      Higher refresh is preferable and would need to confirm that it works with nvidea as not all freesynch panels seem to play nice with gsynch.

    • beeze on 03/04/2020 - 12:57

      On the productivity side, my daily is a 34" 31:9 with happy screen to the side.

  • Anstar on 03/04/2020 - 13:11

    is it just me, or has the price gone up to $359.00?? —- NVM just saw expired

  • TheTeamRanger on 03/04/2020 - 13:39

    For programming, chrome and terminal use - how does this standup against flat wide screens. Never used a curved monitor. Though detest it for TVs

    • beeze on 03/04/2020 - 14:37

      The curve helps with off-axis viewing issues. I don't really notice mine.

    • dsp26 on 09/04/2020 - 10:15
      +1

      The curve is annoying for horizontal coding and spreadsheets/databases if its not at a correct level to your eyes and not sitting at optimum distance to it… am still waiting on a vesa monitor stand as a result.

      Haven't tried rotating vertical but fairly sure it cant

  • dazzawul on 03/04/2020 - 21:39

    Been running one of these for a couple of months.

    Biggest complaints are that its a VA panel (I've been spoiled by IPS screens, but you get used to it), and that if you power it off it disappears from your pc and ruins all of your icons and windows, but that's a displayport thing so not reaaaallly their fault.

    Definitely worth its price though, you can pay a lot more to get a lot less.

  • dsp26 on 09/04/2020 - 10:10

    Bought it at this price couple of weeks ago… it doesn't say it in the product description, but there is an Audio out, and those holes at the back that look like speakers ARE NOT speakers.

    Although I can't get the audio to work properly, when selecting the monitor as an audio output device in windows then plugging anything into the output, it's full of interference noise which drowns out the audio. Being a blue output plug, I suspect it maybe a low-level line-out.

    As for the panel, suspect its an LG as the onscreen menu has "Super Resolution" toggle which I'm pretty sure is a proprietary LG name for upscaling. It also even has the FPS cross-hair overlays usually found in the mid/high-end ASUS/AOC monitors
