My 2nd monitor finally died and decided to just get whatever I could find at the store cause I was in a big hurry. This thing was only $99, but the distorting is so bad I can't even look at the screen straight without the top or bottom or sides of the screens giving bad visual distortion.
Even my ancient hand me downs I was given didn't come close to being this bad. This one has bad visuals from game to game. One might look fine after some tweaking of the monitor's settings and the Nvidia control panel and another looks way too dark. The refreshrate and smoothness is better, but it looks worst than the old crap I had. I have zero experience with monitors so I don't have much of an idea what I'm looking at.
I think I'll just keep this as a spare backup. But what I really want is one that has no distortion from whatever angle you view it from and somewhat decent colors/contrast.
Also if it has the option to allow you to adjust the screen scaling. I'm still using a fairly old GPU and want to crop the resolution to a thinner resolution than 1920 x 1080 like 1280 x 1024 to avoid stressing my card out more. Unless they all can do that now. This one I bought can, but don't know if others do that.
