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

Ah. Damn. Looked right into my soul and pierced it with a rusty fork. Guess I gotta bite.
I am very happy with it. I use it for work and gaming.
Work wise I much prefer it over a two monitor set up. I am able to have 3 windows open and work between them seamlessly and comfortably. I do zoom calls often and they appreciate the fact that I'm always facing forward rather than looking off to the side at the second monitor.
Gaming wise also excellent. I don't need anything higher than 165. It's not an oled but images look great imo. Only thing I didn't account for was that this is essentially more like a 2K monitor vs a 1440p. So I did get a hit in frame rate a bit when at ultra wide vs when I used a regular 27 inch 1440 p. Love the curve too

These are ultra wide 3k displays
3440x1440
Or UWQHD for short. Both are 1440p the P refers to to the amount of pixels vertical.
The 2k is referring to then to the vertical length horizontally. 2560x1440p aka QHD

right now i have 2 dell 22 inches and 1 19 inch vertical monitor that has really bad brightness. right now, i leave one 22inch monitor "blank on the desktop" so i can drag things over when screen sharing. Ideally, it would be great to have the monitor that is had on be nicer than my Dell 22PH.

Monitor is great. Sure it's not 4K or OLED, but this is an incredible bang for your buck. Perfect for a casual gamer.
Only thing to keep in mind is you should put it on a monitor arm and clamp it to the desk. Stand is enormous.
