I fell for 21:9 monitors a few years ago when I bought an LG monitor with a 25" screen. However, it was time to move on a little further and pick up some gaming monitors. The choice then fell on this one, although I was a little worried. I was a little worried that the 2560x1080 resolution would be too low for a 30" monitor, but my fears were false, as the monitor is sharp enough and there are no jagged pixels anywhere. Consequently, I was afraid of the VA panel and the tkz. Ghosting and even here the monitor was a pleasant surprise, in my opinion it is quite minimal and one would have to really focus on it.
But now to the core, if you're looking for a monitor under 10k, this one is definitely worth it, the 21.9 widescreen aspect ratio along with the curved display looks really good. It can draw you into the action while you play, and if you have a powerful enough machine and are able to use a higher refresh rate, it can really take the gaming experience to the next level. The stand is otherwise excellent, the monitor holds firmly and can also be positioned in almost all directions.
However, there are a few drawbacks to bear in mind, which simply result from the design. The main one is that not every game supports this aspect ratio (Mostly older titles though) and thus if you play in 16:9 part of the monitor you simply won't use it. Also, if you've been playing in classic 1080p so far, you need to be prepared for the fact that higher resolutions require about 20-25% extra performance. Otherwise, if you use a laptop for the monitor (like I do) you need to be careful where you place the icons on it, it can make a bit of a mess on the laptop desktop when disconnected.
Excellent colours. (Even compared to IPS)
Playing in 21:9 is a great gaming experience.
High refresh rate.
The sag.
Stable stand with a really wide range of different positions.
After connecting peripherals to the USB integrated in the monitor, the brightness of the RGB backlight decreased.
Not all games support the 21:9 aspect ratio, so your nearly 30" monitor becomes 24"
