Greater than one weekfor a wide screen 1440p this looks great and does a great job for gaming. bought for more space to do work on screen but also to game.at 144hz it handles games great had no issues playing COD,Cyperpunk or Battlefield 2042 looks good and runs smooth but make sure you have a good GPU to handle this resolution I have a RTX 3080 so this card can handle this monitor at 3440 x 1440 resolution. speakers are fine but have a soundbar so dont use them. even do ViewSonic has the Elite series monitors that cost way more then the Omni series is cheaper but this gets the job done. colors look good had no issues with ghosting games run great also the brightness is good have no issues. using a stand so not using the stand that came with it supports 100 x 100 vesa no issues. first one i order had bad light bleed around the screen and 4 dead pixels second one was excellent very minimal light bleed and only one dead pixel but its in the corner can barely see it specially how big this screen is unless your look for it you might not find one.im very picky so i test my displays so thats a issue when buying monitors so keep in mind. overall this can handle gaming just fine with out spending too much im happy..

> 3 dayPicture is really hard to dial in straight out of the box. Colors are wonky with any of their presets. But the picture is very crisp and sharp. Monitor stand is hopeless if you are a racing or flight sim fan with a wheel or joystick setup. Force feedback or not, the slightest movement makes the monitor wiggle all over. And Im not using a cheap put-it-together yourself desk. Solid 1.5 inch thick oak desk, and still the monitor shakes. But most of all, and this really applies to all curved monitors. Using a curved monitor with a 16:9 aspect ratio is pointless. It tricks your brain into thinking the monitor is actually narrower than it is. Curved monitors only benefit if you are using 21:9 (UltraWide) or wider. At 16:9, it just feels like an old 4:3 flatscreen that is just closer to my face.

> 3 dayIts fine, but if youre using it with a MacBook Pro, the difference in screen quality is quite noticeable, and I cant match the color no matter how I try.

> 3 day- Good enough for sub 200 dollars. I got mine on sale for 200. For the price, you get a 1440p and 144hz (165hz is super picky only works with display port) - Light bleeds are super bad. Looks like from all angles - 165 hz only works with display port. Hdmi you can only max out at 144hz or 120hz depending on the cable.

> 3 dayI bought this on sale during Thanksgiving last year (2021). My other monitor was working just fine. Im not sure why I bought a new monitor, but I love the wide screen! I have had no problems whatsoever with my new monitor.

> 3 dayBacklight bleed is so bad on the right side. Bought 2 of them and both had significant bleed on the right side. It was so annoying I couldn’t use them. Went right back. Picked up a couple Dell’s and they are a lot better.

> 3 dayTo keep this simple, this monitor is perfect for gaming, entertainment, and most importantly, work. With its 144hz refresh rate (which is achieved via 1.2 display port only), it is exactly what I need for those days when I decide to game. When it comes to work, having 34 inches (corner to corner, 21:9 aspect ratio) of ultra wide real estate became necessary for my line of work (IT Support); it must be pointed out that there are virtually no blind spots when looking at this monitor from different angles, which is perfect for clarity when it comes to moving around a lot. I should warn that I am not an expert when it comes to colorspace, however I find no issues with the colors of the monitor either; although, Im sure others may find that there could be a greater degree of color to fill. Overall my only gripe is that there is no option (at the least I’m aware of, searched for an answer, found none) for supporting side-by-side display for two sources; or at the very least, PIP. I really would like to be able to have my personal computer running next to my work computer when at work. I don’t think this is the biggest deal, and definitely not a reason to give the monitor less than five stars. Just a feature I missed out on. Overall, amazing monitor, especially given the price.
