(Note - this is for the non-smart version, Amazon seems to mix and match reviews with product versions)
the bad:
- menu navigation uses the worlds most annoying plastic joystick button thing. Half the time when I get to the option I want I just press it until it decides I'm worthy of selecting an option. Almost makes me wish I would have gotten the version with a remote, but I don't want or need bloatwear on my monitor.
- when I first got it one half was slightly darker than the other, like the contrast between the panels wasn't quite right. Turning PIP/PBP on and back off fixed it and it hasn't happened since.
- the menus themselves aren't great, and after changing most settings you'll be kicked out of the menu entirely so changing 3 or 4 things in a row is an exercise in patience, esp when combined with the worlds worst input device
- there's an "infinity core lighting coresync" mode that is supposed to sync to whatever the screen color is, but I've never seen it be any color but bright blue-white
The good:
- looks stunning
- is massively wide, you can fairly comfortably split the screen 3 ways, and splitting it in half is the best "dual monitor" experience I've ever had
- has decent options for scaling things that won't drive ultrawide (ex N. Switch) or you can just let it stretch
- can drive itself as 2 screens with a separate input for each, with options for picture in picture, split down the middle, or into a 1/3 on one side (left or right) and 2/3 on the other. (only one "screen" can output volume in this mode)
- built in configurable LED backlighting looks nice, and has a plastic diffuser over it
- the stand baseplate is metal, and it connects to the screen with a nice clip, and the baseplate is big enough that I'm not concerned with it ever falling over in any reasonable situation.
Other notes:
- most games are going to get weird at this resolution/width, especially in regards to FOV at the outer 1/4th of the monitor.
- it has a ~0.3-0.5in bezel all the way around it.
- It's pretty heavy, so depending on how you feel about moving the box around, you may want to phone a friend to help you uncrate it just due to how bulky it is.
- You're going to want some beefy hardware if you're gaming on this at full resolution, I have a 4090 and benchmarked ~25fps with everything cranked and no DLSS. DLSS on benchmarked at ~45fps.
