Fighting the Final Boss? Binge-watching your favorite series? Working on spreadsheets from home? The VIOTEK GNV34DB2 is the multimedia, multitasking solution for you! It features an ultra-wide display resolution of 3440x1440p ~ more than twice the pixel density of full-HD monitors. The GNV34DB2 delivers vibrant images, rich with color. With a 3,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, you~ll get deep, inky blacks and brilliant whites. Its lightning-fast 100Hz refresh rate produces flicker-free video with virtually zero dropped frames. The deep 1500R curved screen delivers superior viewing comfort that wraps around your field of vision. It~s more ergonomically ideal than 1800R curved monitors but still has a relatively thin frame. That puts you right at the heart of the action and into the movie. And the 21:9 aspect ratio lets you watch movies with true cinema quality, the way filmmakers intended. The GNV34DB2 is packed from edge to edge with advanced features for an incredible gaming experience. Activate AMD FreeSync and enjoy smooth gameplay with significant reduction to image distortion (stuttering, tearing, ghosting) during motion-heavy games. The Viotek Gaming Suite includes GAMEPLUS crosshairs to enhance your aim, turning every shot into a bullseye. FPS/RTS optimizations bring out extra detail in darker images: see snipers hiding in shadows before they get the drop on you. Fully adjustable, the color calibration options let you tweak the color balance to your exact preference. And a blue-light filter minimizes eyestrain so you can play or watch all night. Declutter your desktop. Say goodbye to dual-monitor setups. One GNV34DB2 is all you need. The 21:9 ultra-wide display lets you experience truly magnificent multitasking with three-input picture-in-picture (PIP) and picture-by-picture (PBP). Connect another PC or laptop, game console, or streaming box with the three HDMI ports or DisplayPort. Use the monitor~s 3.5mm audio jack to connect a soundbar or speakers. Movie lovers. Avid gamers. Content creators. Power users. The GNV34DB2 34-inch ultrawide 100Hz monitor has something for everyone.

Surprisingly good.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wasn't sure what to expect with this monitor. I have another 34" ultrawide, and this one is every bit as good in the visual quality area. I use it for sim racing, and it does a great job. I also have it next to my IPS display, and IMO this one is much better. Similar colors, but this panel has great black levels in comparison.

The game is fantastic. I purchased the original a couple of years ago, and put in ~100 hours. I received this latest version, and am enjoying the changes so far. I love steel cases, and the mask is nicer than expected. Easy to recommend.

Great upgrade from my Tartarus v2
on April 20, 2020
Posted by: RanPer
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really liked my Tartarus v2, and when this version that had better switches came out I had to get it. Before I plugged it in I had regret as the keys seemed rather stiff compared to the V2, but after hooking it up I have changed my mind. The keys may feel stiffer, but they are so responsive. With the V2 you had to go ~1/2 way down for things to register. I did not realize the delay this caused until I got the pro. With the pro a slight press, and you get instant response. It is nice to be able to able program some key strokes as Xbox controller keys as well. I did find an issue where my Xbox controller would not work if this keypad was plugged in. Razer was no help, and never could understand the question even though I sent them links to many others with the same issue. I did figure out a fix, so if you can't find a fix in a web search (and I couldn't :(). Not sure how Best Buy Q&A stuff works, but if there is a way feel free and ping me if you have Xbox One controller issues and I can post how I fixed. One last thing to note...There seems to be an issue where you will press a key, and it will keep going until you press that key again. It is not frequent, but it is annoying when in the heat of battle. I want to finish up by saying...get this. It will take some time to get used to it, but for me I stuck with it, and cannot go back to a keyboard.

The first was a very good game, but this one is even better. The art style/graphics are outstanding. I love how Nintendo is able to pull out this kind of look on the Switch. I won't say it is my favorite game, but is easy to recommend.

Did the mouse make me a better gamer...well....actually it did. I still stink, but definitely not because of the mouse. After going through the calibration in the software, this mouse glides as smooth as butter. I actually never knew what I was missing. The fit in my hand is great. The click action is awesome on both the side and top buttons. This is easy to recommend. Even feels great when surfing the web.

I travel constantly and have to set up/break down my monitor frequently. Does this have quick release from the stand, or do you have to unscrew it to detach the monitor from the stand?

I have mine wall mounted so could not verify. However, looking at the manual and the mount itself, I think it is a quick release. You can probably get email Viotek and verify as their support has been fantastic for me during pre purchase.

Love this monitor so far, but I bought a VESA mount for it that fits VESA 75x75mm and 100x100mm, and it doesn't line up right. Is there a piece of hardware needed for this to be used wit a VESA Mount?

I am able to use my 100/75 VESA fine with it. I believe it used 75x75.

Is it LCD or LED?

LED is a type of LCD.
This explains in more detail.
https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/led-vs-lcd-tvs/

In the description from Vitec it shows "Rear LED".
https://viotek.com/gnv34db-uwqhd-curved-gaming-monitor-100hz-1440p-vesa/

So in short this is an LCD monitor with LED backlighting. This is the case with most modern monitors. BTW..I do really like this monitor. I basically use if for sim racing.

The right temperature in the right places. These wireless room sensors work with ecobee4, ecobee3 Lite, and ecobee3 Wi-Fi smart thermostats.
 

Can these units be used without the thermostat? I just wanted to connect them to my router to monitor the temperature only. Not to control the temperature.

No. You can only pair with the Ecobee thermostat they were designed for.

I am purchasing two separate Ecobee 3 lite thermostats for two different apartments. Can I break up these sensors so that I connect them to separate thermostat units?

Yes. You will be entering the code in the back of the sensor into the main unit.
