Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2018
In a word, incredible. Though, its beauty requires a few tweaks before you get there.
1) The monitor is perfectly calibrated at the factory and shipped with the best settings
2) Buy a high quality DP 1.4 cable, if you plan on getting the best from this monitor and your video card. Its the only way to run its DP 1.2+(the cable that comes with is not DP 1.4) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XSV3B4L/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
3) Download the latest graphics driver for your videocard to make sure your cards software has control over brightness, contrast and gamma... as Windows likes to take control of them and keep them from changing anything, when you enable HDR.
4) Enable HDR in Windows 10, without doing so, the monitor will not run in HDR(the monitor will say HDR when showing the input and in its menu under info)
5) Adjust brightness, contrast and gamma to your liking under display settings(again... Windows, for some odd reason, halves the monitors brightness when enabling HDR). Also, play with the color enhancement settings, if your videocard supports it(I have a 1080 and it does). It will get those brightness levels back and make it look even better than it did prior to enablng HDR.
Doing what I mentioned above will get you the brightest, most colorful picture youve ever seen. Using the DP 1.4 cable allows for the best that your videocard has to offer at 144hz and 3840x1080, with clear, sharp text, no matter how big or small you like it. I own a recording and video production studio and this monitor allows me to have every function on the screen at once, improving productivity exponentially, eliminating the need to menu surf to find and use what you are looking for. The inclusion of the screen split software helps to divide the screen, any way you want. Videos and games also look incredible on this monitor. It is big, so you will want a rather large desk or to buy a floor stand to sit behind the desk. When set it up correctly, it is very bright. Almost double that of competing products. So you will want to sit a little bit further away than normal. Though it fills your peripheral vision, so you wont ever miss a thing. It also has a backlight, that can help with eye strain, along with a night setting which lowers blue levels and warms the picture to do the same.
If you work in the film, game, finance or music industry... you cannot beat the real estate that this monitor affords you. It helps you work more efficiently and accomplish twice as much in half the time. The ultra wide screen allows all the apps you need opened, to do so side by side with room to spare. Im so enamored by it... Im thinking about buying a second one to do even more.
I cant say enough good things about this monitor. Its the only one of its kind and goes above and beyond my wildest expectations. The HDR brings out more color and brightness than anything else on the market. Everytime I turn it on, Im amazed.
