My bad, got the model numbers confused. I'm using the IPS model that's 100hz and it's much better than these VA panels. I've tested 2 in the last 2 months. I'm sticking with IPS, easier on my old eyes for some reason.
I bought it then and got it yesterday. It is a nice large monitor with 2 problems - in my opinion
1. Height is not adjustable out of the box (not sure if there's a way to install a different stand). You can change the angle
2. On an M1 MacBook Air, it only allows 50 Hz at the 3440x1440 via HDMI cables.
I'm going to try it out for a bit but those two issues may be a deal breaker for me and I may end up returning it.

On 1. Get a table mount, they sell on sale here for <$20 often, let you rotate, pull out, adjust height, etc.
On 2, interesting. Per https://www.displayspecifications...l/f1a3344d, 3440x1440 8bit 100Hz is ~15Gbps, it is also spec'd at HDMI 2.0 so it should be a max of 18Gbps, I suspect the HDMI cable you are using is throttling in you bandwidth.
If it is your cable, I'd run the test of all you hdmi cables and toss any that are not at least 2.0 spec, and put deal alerts for 2.1

Well, I went and got an HDMI 2.0 cable and connected it to the port - still 50Hz. Perhaps its the Mac.
