I must admit - I wasn't out to buy a new monitor. It was 'Black Friday Week' (that well-known festive season) and I got an email from another retailer advertising an inexpensive ultrawide monitor. As I've recently got into simracing I was going to take the plunge for the ability to have a higher field of view. On the off chance there was something better going I quickly searched on Amazon and found this one.And I'm so glad I did - this thing is awesome! The monitor I was looking at peaked at 75hz refresh rate - this goes up to 200hz! If you've not used a high refresh rate monitor before all I'll say is that it's not something you need - but you'll miss it when it's gone. Just using day-to-day Windows feels so much smoother.I got this to replace 2 old 23" 1080p monitors. In my day job (programmer) I normally rely quite heavily on a multi-monitor set up to work on one screen while looking at information on the other. In all honesty once I finally get my office (spare bedroom!) set up properly I will reintroduce the second monitor. However - working with an ultrawide only has been quite a neat experience - especially on Windows 11. Full screen apps when you need them - otherwise side-by-side windows when you need that dual view.I've tried my MacBook Air M1 on this too - connecting it via DisplayPort gets me full 2560x1080 and goes the full 200hz (I didn't know Macs supported that!). Talking of ports - there are 2 HDMI and 2 DisplayPort. The monitor switches to whatever one is active or manually via an on screen menu. This is the usual "guess which button on the monitor does what" type of scenario until you get used to it.The menus offer a fair bit of image customisation and also includes a funky 'picture in picture' option where you can show 2 connected devices at once (also offers side-by-side view). It's a bit of a fiddle to set up using the menus but this is a really neat feature.Image quality is awesome - with deep black levels, HDR and vivid colours. I'm sure some people would say that the colours 'pop' but that makes them sound like a bottle of champagne or a zit - so I'll say they're vivid.I'm only rocking an old 1060 GTX but it's been driving this monitor like a charm - including a few lighter requirement games at the full 200fps. I must admit anything over 120hz I can't really tell the difference! Games that offer full ultrawide support are a sight to behold (RE Village with HDR is amazing) - although be warned - not all games want to play ball. Some tend to stretch a 16:9 image to the full viewport. Borderless fullscreen is your friend here in my experience.It has sound - that's the kindest thing I can say really. It's not quite as bad as a frisky gnat - but close. I'm surprised manufacturers are shipping with this quality these days but here we are. The monitor has a 3.5mm audio out for connecting speakers (which I really recommend). It's worth connecting them through the monitor - especially if you are expecting to connect multiple devices. You can also manually select which input will be delivering audio - very useful for the aforementioned picture-in-picture mode.So - great picture, awesome features and I can finally see cars when they're next to me in Automobilista 2. At an excellent price - well recommended./Andy

after having this monitor for about 10 days i can say that it is a great monitor. when you get it out the box though be really careful it is lightweight and is very easily breakable if you don’t handle worn care. refresh rate is good can’t really tell difference between that and my 1ms monitor, the colours are good they pop, and the size is good as-well. all round great budget monitor and i would fully recommend buying if on a tight budget

First off. The monitor itself is great. The picture and colours really pop. The HDR is a very low NITs level so only just qualifies but its adequate. Its an entry level into ultrawide and for what it is its really really nice. Sharp, clear and no ghosting. Now to the bad.. They ship it with cables that simply don't work. Neither the display port or the HDMI cable included worked. The monitor flickered and constantly reset. Total garbage. I can only assume they were version 1.0 of both cables. I ordered a Display port 2.1 cable and its perfect so keep this in mind and just throw away the cables it comes with. Support were quick to respond to the query but offered no solutions. just asked for a video and then didn't reply again.. possibly because i said i was going to get a decent cable and were waiting for the results of that.. which i suspect they already knew. Either way. I have ended up with a really nice screen and am very happy with it.Edit: The company that provided it have contacted me and are refunding the cost of the cable. Fair play its a nice gesture, they aren't the manufacturer so hopefully they will raise it with them!

I was very skeptical about this monitor due to the price but honestly it's one of the best monitors I've used. Couldn't believe the quality!! The monitor is the top one in the image and the bottom one was about £200 in comparison. The image is very clear and definitely 165hz. The besel is very sleek and the LEDs on the back is a nice touch! Brought this monitor as a present for my partner as a second monitor. It even has SPEAKERS! Granted they're not the best quality but for watching things will do the job! The only other issue is when mounting the VESA mount was a bit janky due to the dip in the back but we managed to figure it out and got it up and mounted. It's very light weight and easy to navigate the settings. Probably would be decent for casual gamers!! Overall very happy I can't believe the quality for the price!

It just does what it says on the tin. Won’t win any “monitor of the year” rewards but what you get is a solid little monitor that just works with a respectable 1080p, 165hz refresh rate at a very reasonable price. Perfect for using with a PS5 as that machine is 120hz ready and this monitor will cope with it fine.

Same as everything else that's been said. For the price, this monitor seems to be great.Something not mentioned absolutely anywhere is that this monitor has a crosshair overlay, which is awesome for games that don't use xhairs (dayz, rust) or have bad ones (fortnite).The speakers are pretty dire, but what do you expect for the price? They're good enough for me when I don't want to have to wear earbuds.165hz works fine with a displayport cable, the colours are a little washed out but nothing too serious, again, the price...Displayport cable not included. HDMI is.DOES NOT
