I have owned this monitor for just over 5 or 6 weeks.Pros -- Screen Looks Great- Good size and curve- Nice adjustabilityCons -- I need to tape the power connector in as it just falls out of the socket in the back of the monitor- Screen is bleeding after 3 weeks and the bleed is really bad. I have three screens bleeds and two are really visible and large.I will be returning this product soon after I have finished my school for for ncea as I only have a couple weeks left for my Digi assesment. Other users seem to have good experiences with this monitor I unfortunately have not. Buy at your own risk I may just be unlucky.

I bought one of these a while back, the first gen variant. I wanted to purchase a new monitor for a dual screen setup so I bought this. Overall I'm completely happy with the usual AOC high quality construction and visual quality. Just be cautious when pairing this with an earlier version of the same monitor. The only thing that is the same is the height of the monitor. The stand is very different, but that doesn't bother me very much, what bothers me is the colour difference. When the monitors are both on Warm colour settings, this new monitor looks really green. I had to fiddle with the gamma settings and the colour balance to get them looking even remotely similar, but it's still not perfect as white text has a slight red tinge.

Solidly built, with excellent colour and stunning visuals. This is the 3rd AOC screen I've bought, and all are currently still in use. Even the older AOC screens keep going, which goes to show their reliability. Highly recommend this brand over others. Have used Samsung and other brands before but broke rather easily taking them to LAN tournaments because of lack of build quality. Don't look past AOC! Excellent screens :)

Quite a large screen tbh. The curved feature and size of the screen, really help you feel immersed when gaming. It also makes it easier to see out of your peripherals when scanning through documents etc. Love the screen. Wife likes the screen too, so must be good.
I purchased these monitors for my sim rig to play iRacing and a few other racing simulator titles and I'm very happy, for the price its was a better choice than an ultrawide. slim bezels and 1000r curve made them perfect for my needs. The wrap around effect it gives me makes racing so immersive. also 2560x1440 is nice when I need it but honestly I could have got away with 1080 but with the next gen cards it will be nice to max out the resolution, also buying these on special made it a great option.The only slight downside besides my brother always coming over so he can play dirt rally 2 was the ghosting/smearing but in racing titles it seems very minor once you set up everything right, I found with overdrive set to weak its hard to see it. You would have to look ... MoreI purchased these monitors for my sim rig to play iRacing and a few other racing simulator titles and I'm very happy, for the price its was a better choice than an ultrawide. slim bezels and 1000r curve made them perfect for my needs.

You would have to look closely at the tree line or the edge of buildings to notice and doing so kept making me crash, overall for a VA panel technology its fine. smearing and ghosting seems to change a lot on different setup options so its something to take note here. the monitor has nice vibrant colours and nice dark blacks out of the box and plenty bright enough for my needs.
This is a massive improvement over my old 1080p display. It's bright, crisp, extremely responsive and immersive thanks to the curve. The 165hz refresh rate is infinitely better than my old 60hz, even just navigating through windows. Really pleased I picked this up
I purchased this monitor 26/11/2021 and have been using it every day since. I use my desktop as an entertainment centre and a workstation, so I've put this monitor to good use as a gaming monitor, a business platform, a videoconferencing terminal, a CAD development and stereolithographic tool. It has performed beyond my expectations and I'm very happy with the product I received for the money I spent. The price now is cheaper than what I paid on a Black Friday deal, so I'm grabbing another one.
Bought this based on good reviews but none of them mentioned how bad the text clarity is. It's so poor that I'm questioning if maybe I got a defective unit. I've spent over an hour tweaking every setting, following every guide to improve it, but it's not resolving it. Browsing the Web or even just navigating Windows is painful. Even sitting over a metre away I can still see jagged, disconnected parts of letters, no matter what font type or size or zoom level or cleartype setting or font smoothing or anything. Gonna try and return it.
Received yesterday, so still in the afterglow but... I'm using this for work (not gaming) and it is amazing. Especially for the price - and I paid full retail. - Size is great. I've using it as a single monitor on a stand up desk the normal full arm to 1.5x length from the screen. A bit of head swivel, but not a lot - Colours are fantastic especially the super crisp black - Resolution is awesome - Other reviewers are on the money - the curved screen is so much better for my brain and eyesight than a large flat panel or two flats side by side and angled - Light and easy to install - Lack of height adjustment is I a minor pane but I have a platform on my desk under it to lift it to the correct height which helpfully allows me to slip my folded over laptop back against ... MoreReceived yesterday, so still in the afterglow but...

I bought this for a Game and Work from home option. It is very hard to get it just right for work and whilst I think it is much better than a 1 star, however that reviewer has a point the text is quite hard to get right and resolutions are a little tricky. Particularly when you use VMWare and other stuff. If you check it in store you might be glad. It is pretty cool with those small caveats.
