I was actually aiming for the Xiaomi 34", but when this bugger popped up on 11.11 for RM1150 incl shipping it was a slam dunk.

It loses out on the refresh rate at just 100hz versus 144hz, but so long as it's above 60hz I couldn't care less. Besides, my eyes can't tell the difference between 100hz & 144hz anyway.

I bought it because we're working from home permanently now, so it's worth my while to start upgrading my 7-year old Ivy Bridge rig. I'm starting with the monitor first, I'll start putting a whole new rig together after CNY when the nonsense with the availability and prices of Zen 3 & RX6800 has settled down.

The extra 7 inches of screen width is a godsend compared to my old 1080p 27" screen.


The only other fly in the ointment is the fiddly control buttons - would have preferred a joystick but still it ain't the worst.

Any comment after using it?

The first week or so using it, it would randomly flicker & go blank. After resetting, I discovered that it was due to me using the incorrect refresh rate setting on my GTX970 GPU.

Been fine ever since.

At RM1150, it's the best thing ever for someone like me who needs the extra screen real estate for work.

I game occasionally, I got no issues apart from the fact that not all games will maximize the 21:9 resolution. Those that do... fuyohhh...

The curvature takes some getting used to.
