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 received a 34" dark matter monitor today. It is dead as a doorknob. Buyer beware on monoprice. I've bought their cables and other supplies plenty, but I don't like being quality control for their monitors.

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.
I regret not researching this more. Xbox One X can only do 1080p120hz, unable to even do 1440p60fps so far. I'll bring my Xbox Series X to test as well, but this already feels like a mistake. Colors are great, but it seems like any settings for motion turn the brightness way down, and motion doesn't compare to IPS, TN and OLED.

I've had mine for over a month now. It is awesome, but I came from a 24in 1080p 60hz monitor. I'm thinking about grabbing a second.

When I connect my Laptop to the monitor with HDMI cable it's not showing full screen, there is blank space on both sides (about 10-15% on each side), not sure if the monitor is defective.

In the display settings/aspect ratio - I only see widescreen, 4:3, 1:1, auto, not sure if there is a ultra wide option..

Also with PBP mode it's not filling full 34" screen, there is blank space between two laptop screens, I connected two laptops via two HDMI cables.

Are you connecting the monitor via HDMI? If not can you please connect with HDMI and see how it's working.

Received the 34 inch dark matter earlier today. First thing I noticed after powering up was a bright dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Monoprice CS said no replacement possible as the monitor is discontinued, $25 refund if I decide to keep it. I went for the return and full refund due to the location of the dead pixel. Very disappointed, had been looking fwd to this. CS was not very sympathetic
