   We bought this monitor for my husband and me to use since we both work a hybrid-type schedule. My husband’s work computer, which is a Windows, works great. My work computer, which is a MacBook, works except for the speakers. I tried every hack I could find on the internet, but no matter what, every time I try to listen to a video or music with the monitor speakers, everything speeds up. While I wish everything worked for both computers, we did decide to keep the monitor since I can just use my laptop speakers or headphones.

   I needed a large monitor with a charging USB-C hub to replace two Dells that I had to return to the company.
   I can not attest to the long-term reliability, but so far this monitor was mostly good news.
   The Good:
   Size, image, curvature, charging USB-C, speakers, and USB ports for the KVM. I wouldn’t have a chance to use KVM on my setup, but for somebody it’s a plus. Updatable firmware (came with v 013, updated to v 017)

   The Not so Good (or the options I have not figured out how to use)
   Two regular USB ports. I would appreciate one more to use for keyboard, mouse and camera. I will have to add a hub.
   USB-C power was off by default. I had to figure out how to turn it on.
   When the monitor goes to sleep, I can’t wake it from the keyboard. I had to turn it off and then on while the laptop was on. Then it got recognized and stayed ON. Maybe that’s because of the Eco setting; I’ll have to try different options.
   I will update my review in a couple of weeks.

   Original review revision. I am sending this monitor back. There is an issue I’ve missed initially: a light streak in one of the corners. Probably due to damage upon assembly to the backlight LEDs. You can only see it on light background and originally I took it for a Windows wallpaper.
   Oh well. I tried.

   I really enjoy this monitor and it is great for my needs. It was hard to find a white ultrawide monitor that met my price range and this is definitely worth the money.

   The stand is great and lets you move the monitor up and down to your liking, as well as side to side. It has a cable management clip on the back that’s more than wide enough to fit multiple cords through. Be warned if you are trying to use a monitor arm, the bracket might not fit if its too large due to the recessed area where the stand attaches.

   The speakers are meh, not really loud enough but I don’t plan to use the monitor speakers in the long run, so this is not much of a downside for me, but might be helpful to know if you seeking a loud monitor.

   Other than that, it is truly a beautiful monitor. The different settings are great, the color has great range and depth, and games run smoothly at the 120 hz refresh rate. It has eco, low blue light, and other modes to cycle through for easy adjustment. I work long hours at my desk and my eyes never feel fatigued using it.

   I would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a 34″ ultrawide specifically in white with a high enough refresh rate for gaming, because they seem to be hard to find.

   LOVE this monitor! It is bigger in person than I thought it would be. Love the white. I decided to not use the mount that came with the monitor and decided to purchase the Ares Wing arm mount and it works great.
