For the money, and my specific application, this monitor is great. I'm using it for business, as a cloud engineer who needs the real estate.Pros: great size, great clarity, quality (albeit plastic on many components) build, great for my office needs.Cons: I think I needed a curved monitor because I'm too close. So, I have to move my head for perfect viewing angle. My wife likes the looks of it and now wants one, so she may get this when I go for a curved.Results: definitely recommend for business purposes. It's gorgeous. Gaming? Idk, that's not me.

This is a fantastic monitor for the money. Mine replaced a 10-year old 34" LG that was 2560 x 1080 with a refresh rate of 75hz, (and which I had paid the exact same price for in 2014)I've had this one for a year now with zero issues. It's just the right size for gaming at my desk while also being able to watch movies from across the room. Most mid-range gpus can finally handle this resolution without too much trouble (I have a 4070 Super) I like the fact that it's flat, because a curve doesn't look as good if you're more than a few feet away.The only way to get something better than this was to jump all the way up to a $1500+ oled, and I wasn't willing to go there yet. Maybe in another ten years.

I got this monitor used. Had to return it because of a flickering backlight issue with the panel.The build quality felt really nice. The stand was easy to setup, the monitor has a bit of weight for its size. I love that it was a flat paanel 40" ultrawide. Im not fond of the curved panels, at all. So I was thankful to find a large format panel as this that was flat.This is labeled as an IPS panel. This needs clarification. It is an IPS-like panel made by a company by the name of BOE. They have made great strides to modifiy the IPS technology to advances its capabilities. So this is an panel made similarly to an IPS panel. While it does good at minimizing IPS glow, a total issue with all IPS panels, it falls short in other catagories. Namely what IPS panels are good for. Pixel Response.The pixel response, at least for IPS and IPS-like panels, leaves a bit to be desired. I was purchasing this panel to replace an Acer CG437K, which is a VA panel. This IPS-like was no clearer than the VA panel was. This panel did not have the smear from black pixel transitions like all VA panels do. The pixel in this panel are a bit slower than anticipated. Especially becaause they use the faster GtG measurement than the more indicative BtW or general color transition. So the pixel transition time was actually slower than an LG ips panel I had from 2016. Do not get me wrong. In most cases, this is quite a good panel. While pixel transitions are a bit slow, they are perfectly fine for non-esport gamers. Especially if you generally gamed or used VA panels. The contrast is very nice. Higher than average, thanks to the tech used to develope this panel. IPS glow was extremely minimal from what I noted. Using my eyes, no tools... The backlight was also very even. I noted very minimal DSE (dirty screen effect) when checking the color and patterns while doing a bit of simple calibration. For those who dont know. DSE, or dirty screen effect, is the uneven solid color uniformity normally noted when the screen is all white, grey or sometimes black. It can be noted in some other colors, but not normally. DSE is generally very easy to ignore when viewing bright multicolored images and motion scenes. Most all LCD panels can be affected by DSE, generally not OLED.The screen uniformity and color reproductions were actually GREAT. Vibrant and very even across the whole screen. Even at angles. This monitor was not too bright. It was stated to be close to 500NITs. Thats pretty good. But not full screen brightness. The backlighting has a type of local dimming that became quite annoying when seeing dark scenes. Creating columns of light that spanned from top to bottom where bright sections of the screen were lit up. So I left the local dimming off when I could. But compared to other mainstream IPS panels, the black levels left me not even worrying about using the local dimming.Now for those who wondered. This is a freesync panel, as stated, but do not use gsync with nvidia cards. This panel will start flickering and and dimming with even just the mouse movements. It was such a mess. But with freesync, the frame pacing worked almost perfectly fine. The hrz rate was nice and smooth. The higher hrz range helped with pixel clarity too.Again do NOT use these with GSYNC enabled.The build quality was really nice. The panel felt sturdy, stand didnt have too much wiggle with moderate movements. If you bumped the desk forcefully, yeah it will wiggle. But under normal circumstances the monitor was quite still. The snap that holds the stand to the back of the panel may need to be pressed firmly until it locks in place. I had to firmly press near the snap on mine. It held quite firmly afterwards. I had no worries about that. But make sure it snaps in properly. The stand took seconds to place.I had no issues with the display port, the cable worked great. I did not keep the monitor long enough to test the 90watt usb c power delivery. But they included a usb c cable for that. Mine did have a power cable, hdmi, display port, and usb c cable included.I do reccoment a second person to help with setup. Its not real heavy, ust a bit unwieldy. The panels controls, are clunky and generally a bit frustrating to use.For general gaming, watcing cartoons/movies, office work, and browsing the web. This monitor is just great. Text is clear and easy to read. The ultrawide format is expansive and immersive. At the right distance, I saw no color shift, and just loved the vision filling experience I got.A few little improvements, this would be a must buy. For this price, its a great buy. I would totally recommend it for general computing. And it is still clearer than a lot of VA panels, despite having slightly worse contrast than most VA panels do have.I am certainly going to check out future Innocin products. I hope they can keep the cost down, and continue to make such good panels. If they tweaked a few things, this would have been a fantastic panel for an IPS-like. And it still is a great panel. But dont expect top tier IPS visuals.

Update 7/18/23 : monitor died after 8 months in. Have contacted innocn for warranty. Will update with results throughout the whole process.Update: 7/19/23 innocn refused to back up their warranty and says my computer 5900x 3080ti is faulty. Changed review to one star and do not buy! Have contacted Amazon.Update 7/19/23 after revealing I'm actually a social media influencer company has changed its tune. We have also contacted amazon about the fact warranty refusals like this are illegal in the usa. They are trying to make good but funny thing even the information they requested on the back of the monitor doesn't exist. We have advised do not buy only for the extremely poor customer service with warranty replacement. We have contacted their social media team about our experience to see if they plan on changing their habits. Will update with more.7/19/23 Shocking how poor customer service is. They asked why our receiving address and person talking to them is different than the current address even though the warranty is listed as the address we use. We review and host tech forums and not necessarily out of our homes duh. We also informed them that's a no no under the law. A person could have received it as a gift that's the whole point of a warranty registration.Updated 7/21/23: no longer is innocn trying to make it right. They have ghosted us after saying they will send us a shipping label to get us a replacement. Reported to BBB as scam. Don't buy from this companyUpdate: 7/24/23 Innocn will not honor warranty again and now will not honor the warranty because the warranty registration and the amazon account name are different even though it was my credit card and my name that purchased it. It's truly amazon how much effort they put into avoiding their own warranty.Update 8/22/23Now over a month into the warranty process. They did finally accept the monitor back but did not process it until I asked why there has been no progress after they received it. Thankfully I kept the tracking number to prove they received it, but still have not received a refund as promised. Extremely disappointed in how this company does business is a understatement.Update 8/23/23I have finally received a refund after a grueling month and two days trying to deal with the warranty department. Be aware they will make you work hard for the warranty they say they offer. The actual time spent on transport of the defective product was less that a week but dealing with person after person who obviously do not want to help you makes this company a avoid at all costs. The product is not good enough or cheap enough to have to give up a month of your time. DO NOT BUYOriginal review: I cannot say how good of a deal this is. If it's on sale for 400 and you don't buy it your crazy. The colors are amazing and the sheer size I'd mind blowing. Great in games and photos. Just blew me away. I went from a Dell Ultrasharp because I wanted a higher refresh and was willing to sacrifice some picture quality but I didn't. Same high end picture as the ultrasharps and 144hrz.
