First of I want to mention I use this with my ps5. The ps5 does not support the resolution of this monitor. you must mess with the setting in order for images to not be stretched. Also by default the image color by default is very dull until HDR is turned on, at least for the ps5. The photo above is from Gran Turismo 7 of a Nissan GTR. As you can see the display is very good even if the ps5 doesn’t support the resolution. I put a full resolution photo on display for comparison. The monitor will run at 120FPS on PS5 but will turn black momentarily in order to run at 120. That is a setting that must be turned on, very nice to use in fps games. I have played Destiny 2, GT7, and MW2 (2022) all at 120 FPS. Most of the time the games will run at 30-60 frames depending on the game. Older media either games or video do not display well on this monitor. Often it will leave a black gap on top and bottom of the screen and display the rest. More modern games and movies will completely fill out the screen giving you maximum resolution and no black boxes. This is a very good monitor to have for the price

Había estado muy lejos de la compra de monitores durante ya casi 10 años y me costó decidir, siempre volteas a ver las marcas ya conocidas sin evaluar algunas otras q no por q no las conozcas son malas, quedé sorprendido con el producto, una excelente manufactura, excelente calidad, el precio no se diga!… desde el embalaje viene todo súper bien protegido e incluso trae su adaptador para brazo móvil si es q ya tienes uno… de verdad un monitor muy bueno a un excelente precio

The spectre Monitor is a great monitor for my setup and was very easy to build. Has a slot for an hdmi cable and a display port so I can connect many things to it. It fits my desk nicely and looks great when on.

Good value, overall pretty good monitor. Only complaint is that it doesn’t have a sleep mode. There is sleep mode in the menu, but it turns off the monitor completely when Windows screensaver comes on. Every other monitor I’ve used will wake up automatically, this one you have to press the power button every time. Other than that annoyance, I am happy with the monitor.

This monitor is great the colors are awesome the size is great and all of this for an under 150. The only complaint I have is the monitor stand is a little wobbly and the buttons on the bottom are hard to push. These things d not affect the monitor’s performance at all. This is one of the greatest budget monitors ever.

I want to start by saying that this is a great screen for the price. However, there are a few things about it that you can tell make it lower quality than the other name-brands out there.
First is that the screen I received, upon immediate use, has 2 pixels burnt out on the screen. It’s very small obviously and doesn’t warrant returning it (in my opinion), but on a white screen when it’s most noticeable, I find myself wiping at the pixels thinking it’s dust, but it’s not. It’s only noticeable on a white screen, but I do a lot of document writing and editing on Word and Google Docs so it is noticeable. My burnt pixels are in the top left of the screen. I’ve seen some other review mentioning the pixels but I’m unsure if they’re in the same spot.
The 2nd thing that made me lower this review to 4* is the speaker quality, which is terrible honestly. I’d recommend using separate speakers than what this screen has built-in. I use my laptop or a connectable Bluetooth speaker instead. The sound from the actual screen speakers is very tinny.
Anyway, aside from those two aspects, this is a great screen for the price. I love the size (I got 34 inches) and it was really easy to set up.

For the price point and the fact that you can pay in installments through Amazon, this is a very affordable wide Curved monitor. I was impressed by the size. The quality of the picture is pretty good but you can see that it’s not the best, obviously I was aware of this when I brought this monitor. It’s still really good quality, but I guess I am spoiled by my other uhd screen which is top of the benchmark. The monitor allows extra space for your work and I am glad I got it as I was able to replace two screens with one. I will update this review in 6 months as I have only been using the monotir for a few days now and all seems great

This monitor is a great addition to an immersive setup. Images are crisp at 1440p, and good placement can ensure an enjoyable experience. RGB light in the back works fine and is a nice touch, albeit rarely seen if your desk is in a corner.
3440 offers enhanced multitasking capabilities and all modern games support this resolution (older games can be stretched or played at native resolution) and there are many wallpapers available. If you stream, you will have to make some sacrifices for a pleasant viewing experience since most users probably have 1920×1080.
This unit came with a single dead pixel, and it shows up green most of the time. I saw another review that mentioned this same issue when I ordered it, so take into consideration. It is mostly unnoticeable except on darker scenes.

La verdad tenia tiempo queriendo uno y salio a muy buen precio, se ve genial solo el único detalle fue que cuando lo abrí al sacarlo la bolsa donde esta la pantalla estaba húmeda, se podía sentir la humedad en las manos cuando tome la bolsa para sacarlo, esta era la bolsa que protege el monitor, eso me di cuenta hasta que ya lo tenia instalado, decidí quedármelo esperando que no falle, el monitor no estaba húmedo o mojado y no tenia marcas, solo era la bolsa exterior, quien sabe donde los guarden o si fue en frontera pero espero que tengan mas cuidado porque como quiera no vale 3 pesos, son cosas relativamente caras…

This is an excellent descktop PC monitor. It has 2 HDMI and 2 DP inputs and a refresh rate of 165 fps using DP. The color balance is correct and the picture resolution is very sharp. It has great brightness too. It is easy to setup and customize using the little on/off toggle switch under the center of the screen. I experience no ghosting and exceptionally smooth motion using my NVIDIA RTX graphics card. There is no tearing either.
Other reviewers have complained that the included stand is flimsy and allows the screen to wobble. I do not have that problem at all. My stand is extremely rigid and the screen is held tightly to it. I’m guessing that maybe people with the loose stands assembled them with the small included screwdriver, which makes it difficult to fully tighten the assembly screws. I used a standard sized screwdriver with a Nr 2 Phillips point and was able to seat all three screws fully.
I’ve also seen reviews that complained about no height adjustment or side to side adjustment. I find the viewing height to be perfect on my computer desk and have no need to swivel the screen from side to side.
In summation, this monitor is a steal at its low price point and is perfect for my needs.
