I bought the 35in Zero-G back in October 2020. Last month in April the screen started "whiting out" periodically - maybe from overheating, idk. Point is, I raised the issue with Monoprice and they acknowledged this was a new issue and sent me a pre-paid shipping label to return it. I sent it back and got a new one about a week and half later. So far so good.

Personally, I had a good experience with their return process. I also recommend keeping the original box for a bit, returning this thing in a lawnmower box wrapped in bubble wrap was not ideal Smilie

Edit: also available at Target for $299.99 + 5% off with RedCard, effectively reducing the price to $284.99 before tax.

if it's just for office-type use, then the biggest factors that i can think of is the curvature and height adjustment. the 1800R on the zero-G is less curved than dark matter (bigger number = less curved). zero-g does not appear to have height adjustability, whereas the dark matter does.

deeper curve is better for gaming where you sit fairly close to your monitor. it'll give you better immersion as the curvature better matches your natural peripheral view. i'd imagine that for office use, you wouldn't want as aggressive of a curve.

Pretty much the pros for the Dark Matter are the HDR, higher refresh rate and most importantly the stand (height adjustable).

The Zero G is cost. I have the Zero G and not a single regret. It's been rock solid and has a great picture. I put mine on a nice full articulating arm mount to fit in my desk. I prefer that to the stand, but it did cost a little extra to find a proper one for the desk and monitor.

For productivity, either will do great. You won't need the HDR or refresh rates of the Dark Matter. However, you might not like the stand on the Zero G.

I use a Dell 32'' QHD for gaming, it's perfectly fine. I returned the HP Omen 27'' QHD in favor of the Dell. I fells like it's a great middle-ground between resolution and performance. You are not going to notice the difference between 144hz and 165hz, nor VA and IPS, unless you are a professional and have really sharp eyes.
Non-IPS at off angles is fairly bad in general. That said, at 12" (ish) distance that really isn't a problem.

Well yeah, for PC gaming I'm sitting directly in front of the monitor so it's a non-issue.

I was using a 32" QHD for gaming, but then switched to a curved 34" UWQHD that I was using for work. I much prefer the UW now. That said, now that I've ordered the Zero-G, I'll have a UW for both.

The panel seems to have pretty low color scores, is this noticeable compared to a monitor with 90% on these scores?

DCI-P3 67% coverage
sRGB 80% coverage
Rec.2020 50% coverage

Since this has HDMI 2.0, I assume this has PIP & PBP, can you confirm?

Does anyone know if the 32 inch zero g works with Xbox series x for 1440p at 120htz? I ordered it but reading conflicting reports that resolution is only possible through DisplayPort, although the specs say it has HDMI 2.0 which should be able to handle it. But if it's only DisplayPort it won't work since Xbox doesn't have it.

So what's the deal with monoprice monitors? Are they just unbranded brand name overstock? Some of those specs to price points seem a bit too good to be true. I mean monoprice for cables sure, but a cable is one thing...
