Know before you buy
Yes, the monitor includes a built-in KVM switch, which allows you to control two separate computers using a single keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor.
Yes, the USB-C port supports up to 90W of power delivery, which is sufficient to charge most modern laptops and ultrabooks while simultaneously transferring display and data signals.
With a 144Hz refresh rate and support for both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync, this monitor offers a very smooth gaming experience. However, keep in mind that its 5ms response time is slightly slower than dedicated esports monitors, which typically offer 1ms response times.
The 32:9 aspect ratio is equivalent to placing two 27-inch QHD monitors side-by-side, but without the distracting bezel gap in the middle. It provides a seamless, continuous workspace that is excellent for productivity and immersive gaming.
The included stand is height and tilt adjustable, which works for most standard setups. Because the monitor is quite wide and weighs 14.7 kg, ensure your desk is sturdy and has enough depth to accommodate the 281mm footprint of the stand.
The 3800R curve is relatively subtle, designed to keep the edges of the screen at a consistent focal distance from your eyes. Most users find this actually improves readability and reduces eye strain compared to a flat screen of this extreme width.
