My 32 Inch monitor (2.5yr old Philips 328B6QJEB) is out getting fixed and I could not resist this one for $225. Staticice showed prices around 299-350.
Cant find any reviews of it though so I guess you need to proceed with caution.
I have no idea of the quality of this brand though, but it seemed tempting even when I noticed it was 249 earlier.
I needed an IPS screen with a VESA mount and it appears to have that. 300 nits seems to be a bonus.

Drawbacks I know of:
only 60Hz refresh, but that is what I am used to anyhow.
Never heard of this brand.
No speakers
6.5ms response time is a bit high

It was reduced to $225, and it has a 3 year warranty - so I thought I would try it out.

  It is a big Chinese brand for cctv camera.

  Never heard of this brand.

  Dahua is well-known brand for security cameras. I didn't know they were also in monitor business.

  60Hz is not good for gamers. It also has 6.5ms response time which also is not good for gamers.

  Probably is good for general usage based on considering price/size ratio.

    Thanks - I will not be using this for gaming, and I prefer a 2k IPS screen with this size.
    My primary concern is I am hoping this screen does not have PWM flicker.

    Does make sense, since you generally need a monitor for viewing security camera footages.

  Good price but ELED technology doesn't sound great.

    ELED = Edge-lit = all but a handful of monitors, so this says effectively nothing about the quality of the display. Almost all of the most well regarded monitors available today are in fact "ELED", so it's really not something to worry about.

    The alternatives are full-array (e.g. monitors that boast FALD aka full array local dimming use this) and OLED, but only the latter provides a significant improvement over an edge-lit display in reality, as OLED provides true per-pixel lighting whereas full-array, despite its name, still relies on a number of "zones" far smaller than the number of pixels on the screen in order to provide improved local dimming over an edge-lit display.

    From what I've gathered full-array/DLED seems far more common in TVs than in monitors anyway.

  This company does a lot of security gear, so maybe they're just intended as cctv display. A lot of monitor for the money though.

  My windows 10 is detecting a driver that will only let me go to Full HD. Does anyone have a driver that will let me set the QHD resolution please?

  I did not pick it up until today, but here are my notes from unpacking it this afternoon.
  Update/Bonus: Connected the chromebook via usb-c/DP cable, worked at 60Hz, but when I checked the settings, 75Hz was available as an option. Selected 75Hz, lo and behold WQHD at 75Hz!

  TL;DR The screen seems okay, particularly for this price. No flicker, but uses fairly large a DC power brick with a short output cable.

  For me good points:
  Works at 2k 60Hz without any fussing about.
  The box branded with "flicker free" and low blue light.
  Image seems reasonable, no flicker detected with camera phone and high shutter speed.
  No dead pixels at first (rough) glance
  There are 5 inputs -2x HDMI, DP, miniDP, VGA inputs
  Control is via joystick on the back/right side - fairly intuitive, click to power on/off left/right to adjust, down to select, up to exit etc.
  Matte screen

  Not so good
  it uses a fairly large 12V 4.5A DC adapter brick with a fairly short output cable with barrel jack for power, meaning the brick needs to be on the desk for most situations.
  Viewing angles not as wide as I was hoping for, with image contrast falloff when viewing off centre but it is "ok for now"
  No speakers, but at least there is a headphone jack for audio
  VESA mount is lower than my other screen, so will need an adapter or I need a set of 2 independent arms instead of the one I have which needs the mounts at the same offset from the monitor base.
