Back again with the dell ultrawide deal but $35 cheaper this time. Thanks to this comment from MT2010 on my previous post.
List price $429 down to $385.10 with the coupon and rounding. Idk if its atl but sub $400 is a great price for this

VA
Is that a positive or negative?
yeah nah
Negative
Huge negative
Awful ghosting
Everyone plays it down but my Tn from 2014 has better colours and better response time and none of the ghosting
Just get an ips and save yourself the headache
Not all VA have bad ghosting. Cannot speak to this monitor specifically, It of course pays to do actual research per model. Once upon a time it was, but has not been for many years now. I've had more monitors than i can keep track of over the years spanning all types except OLED, including VAs that ghost, and still have an LG VA 144hz on one of the PC's. That VA has zero ghosting in any games i've played once setup correctly. You would have to go to extreme lengths to find any. It's colours and general image quality are noticably lacking compared to some other monitors, but it was also considerably cheaper.

Beyond out of the box colour and gamma accuracy, there's absolutely nothing true about this statement. Colour depth and contrast is the entire point of VA LCD technology, and it destroys IPS at this as well, which is why it's the dominant technology for TV displays.
Close the Reddit tabs and go outside, but all of that being said I wouldn't bother with this monitor above $350.
I've had both IPS and VA ultrawides and definitely liked the VA more, its very personal preference though. Unless you're shelling out for OLED you're just weighing different negatives.
Great monitor at phenomenal price. I've been using 1 for +/- 3 years now, and it's a workhorse for both WFH and COD.
Agreed, I paid 605.47 last year. I cant go back to straight now.
That's what he said
Same. Using this for WFH and Dota2 since its launch. Amazing monitor.
Grabbed one, thank you :)
No brainer at that price unless a KVM is important to you
Would this be good for non-gaming office-type work? Or overkill with 144HZ? Thank you!
Works superbly for work.
Curved ultrawide is a game changer for working from home. And at this price it’s a no brainer.
Thanks OP. Bought this after missing the S65VC deal with the $200 trade in. This suits me better anyway with the gaming focus and don't need KVM or bothering with trade in. Cheers.
Is this ATL? Seems to be right?
Haven't bought my PC yet, and many monitors deals
I have this and enjoy using it for both gaming and work, but there’s a noticeable amount of ghosting when scrolling on pages with white text on a dark background. Changing the response time setting didn’t help much.
This or G3223Q?
I don't have the space!
Wait for Black Friday?
copped one, thanks op
$385 shipped for this is a steal
will be amazing for my uses (photo editing, yes I use colour calibration hardware anyway, some gaming, music production etc)
now the question is do I get a stand to put my 27" curved monitor above it.. or the 24" above it.. or neither because having a monitor on top is a gimmick that (profanity) your neck up.
If your desk is wide enough, might try 34 & 27 side by side. I found mine have exact same height. So I don’t feel much dragging windows from one screen to the other.
I'm ditching my side by side 27 + 24 setup for this monitor alone, constantly craning my neck to the left has definitely not been great but I honestly think a monitor above this ultrawide would just make me crane my neck UP instead.. so yeah I think just the solo 34" ultrawide should suffice.
I've got this, not sure what's with the all the ghosting comments. Mine is👌👌
I’ve got this and really not a fan. The VA panel just kills me. Colours look so blown out/washed out. Blacks are grey.
This one definitely has pretty bad colours out of the box - if you haven't done so already it's probably worth calibrating based on RTINGS values here then increasing brightness to taste.
May not entirely resolve your issue, but should probably help a bit. There's some variation between units so reusing someone else's calibration values isn't likely to be 100% correct for yours, but unless you're doing colour-sensitive work, those values should generally be close enough and definitely an improvement over the stock settings.
Will this work with M3 MacBook Air for WFH? Via USBC
Never had a curved monitor before, do they work well as a second monitor side by side? Or are they better suited for a primary monitor in the centre of desk?
far out got one of these, at this price trying to resist upgrading second screen
