From the Reviews

For context, the average rating in the curved monitors category is 4.5 stars, so this one is rated below typical.

Should You Buy It?
Maybe. Middle-of-the-pack on rating and price, no standout strengths. If a specific feature matches your need (look at the spec list), it's reasonable. Otherwise the top picks are safer bets.
Bottom Line
6.4/10
Below-average rating in a category with several stronger options. Hard to recommend over higher-ranked alternatives unless a specific feature seals it.
