Greater than one weekOverview/ Display - Let me first start off by saying this monitor is really one of the best things Ive seen in a while. Moving up from a Macbook pro-2015 15.4 to this display the difference is night and day. This screen is accurate when it comes to colors from what I can tell and it is bright, vivid, and best of all there is absolutely no backlight bleed on my panel or at least very minimal. At 34 inches this is massive, it dwarfs my laptop in comparison. But for productivity and media consumption it rocks. Im assuming gaming performance is good too BUT when Im able to test with an actual PC (currently inc a graphics card queue(-_-) ) I have yet to say. -Stand While Im not using the included stand it is heavy and seems to have great adjustability from what I can tell. The Menu- The menu is intuitive on this display, While it might not be super crazy like some Samsung monitors with literal joysticks it does have a streamlined menu that is easy to change any of the settings that come baked in. The LED ring on the back is a nice touch and has the option to turn it off. -Vesa mount- THIS DISPLAY WORKS WITH VESA, it comes with standoff screws to clear the back plastic and mounts securely to any wall or arm mount. I didnt know this at first but it does come with all the hardware needed to wall mount this. -Price For the price of $420 at the time of purchase, this monitor is outstanding and I highly recommend that anyone pick one up -Final thoughts While I cant say anything about gaming on this just yet I will come back and give my final thoughts on it in the next following months. AND TO NOTE: my computer is only outputting at 2560x1080 to this I cannot wait to see what this thing actually can do!!

> 3 dayIt gets the job done for gaming on games like apex legends flawlessly. Super crisp resolution for watching youtube vids and movies. And the ultrawide res gives you so much working room when you are working from home so you can see everything on one screen. Best money Ive ever spent on a monitor tbh

Greater than one weekI love this monitor. Great setup, especially at the price point. Im giving it 4 stars because I have it desk mounted. It has a horrible mounting system vs my other monitors. Most monitors have a recessed square/rectangle. The mount fits flush within that. This one is circular and requires standoffs. Looks horrible, adds a point of failure. The mounting system was not well thought out. I would have bought more of these if not for that.

> 3 dayOrdered the monitor mostly for work (software development) and some casual gaming. My 2060 struggles to get the most out of the panel in some games but that was to be expected. Overall amazing picture quality and a great refresh rate for the price.

> 3 dayIt was time for me to upgrade to a larger screen so I can view trading charts properly and I researched many ultra wide screens, but this one fit my needs and budget. Its clear and bright and works perfectly with my laptop which is also a MSI. So far I have been very pleased with my purchase.

> 3 dayMonitor is golden. Exactly what I expected. Amazon initially lied about the delivery date and it came late. Then when it came it turned out that they sent me the 100hz version. Had to return it and order again. Amazon managed to send the right monitor on the second try and I love it. Cancelled my prime after the entire ordeal though.

> 3 dayPicture quality wise this monitor is great. But it will randomly go out in a frozen black pic where even the power button will not work and unit needs to be unplugged. This happens 2-3 times per week. I am going to see if issue persists not that I have a new GPU for with monitor. If it does I will need this serviced as a defect. But when not randomly going out the pic quality and in game response is amazing. I am using stock display port cable that came with the monitor. If this issue resolves itself or if MSI make repairs smooth I will raise this rating.
