Is it going to compete with a Samsung OLED? No. Is it going to compete with the LG top end 34" ultrawide? No.
Is it the best ultrawide you're gonna get at $155 and be WAY BETTER than your 1080p 60hz 27" monitor you've had for 5 years? You betcha.
I bought 8 of these for my employees in IT a year ago, and they've been fantastic. Had one of them show up busted, but it was an easy return. They are a little dim out of the box, but it's because they're in some sort of low power mode.
Could not recommend more at this price point.
downsides I encountered:
-older games won't work without patches or workarounds, or won't work, at ultrawide resolutions. If you play alot of vintage games it's probably not worth the headaches.
-some hud elements are flung into distant corners, such as minimaps in RTS/MOBA type games, which is problematic
-Same with UI elements of some programs, like Pearson Vue testing worked horribly on an ultrawide
Vertical Alignment (VA)"
Taken from the listing for those wondering.

"I have to move my eyeballs 3 or 4 inches to the right/left to see a minimap" seems like a REAL stretch for a complaint when you're getting more screen area for a game. Any game that has a minimap you need to reference frequently (BG3, WoW, Diablo, PoE, MOBAs etc) would greatly benifit from the ultrawide aspect anyway.
This deal is less than what I'm listing my monitor for and might kill any chance I have getting rid of it on the used market lol.
What is the size of the actual monitor horiz and vert?

Point is, to each their own, but none of these shortcomings are actually shortcomings.
