I've had this monitor for 3 months now and I intentionally waited to write this review so I can give a more objective "long run" assessment of it. This is my daily monitor and I use my PC for everything (I own no Television, or other entertainment devices beyond my phone).My pc and monitor remain on 24/7 to give you an idea of the kind of usage my components get. I run the background you see in the picture with HWINFO64 and several other applications that stay in the same spots; so far I have experienced zero burn in. I received this monitor new without a single dead pixel and it still has none!!This AORUS FV43U monitor comes with the now typical small plastic tripod style legs which work well enough but clearly do not allow you to adjust for angle or height. I would prefer something more substantial and metal but the work.The monitor has fantastic color reproduction for the price and some of the most even blacks I've experienced with a TN panel. The one I received has very little backlight bleed as well. The monitor WILL RUN HOT if you run it at the stock brightness settings. It was at 50 brightness by default and I run it at 5! I also updated the firmware which was supposed to address excess heat. The process to update the firmware was intuitive and easy enough.HDR looks great on the monitor but unfortunately HDR implementation on Windows is horrendous. Namely a lot of monitor flashing when windows is flipping between SDR and HDR; which can happen in games (if another app is doing something in the background). I just turned HDR off and fine tuned my settings to most accurately reproduce the gamut. You need to run this monitor with BOTH the USB and Display/HDMI cables. I don't use the Aorus software but still had to run the USB for some of the monitors functionality.When I run the monitor @ 144hz text looks odd especially when scrolling. Setting it to 120hz makes the text look nice and even regardless of where it is on the display. I don't have to use cleartype or any other software corrections to make text bearable and I constantly read and write large bodies of text on it.I used this monitor for gaming a lot and I really enjoy it for this purpose. My previous monitor was 1440p and I am getting a kick out of 4k gaming and this monitor has a LOT of real estate. There are times in some games when I just stop and think "Wow! It just looks so gorgeous!". I have used it in gaming sessions in excess of 6+ hours without the slightest issue (knock on wood). Ghosting is minimal with a balanced overdrive setting and response time is totally acceptable. Again the blacks look great for a TN panel.This was a big purchase for me and I am on a fixed income. I did quite a bit of research and compared many, many monitors. I think the AORUS FV43U strikes the perfect balance between features and value. Most the other monitors @ this size cost more and are ultra wide monitors with abysmal pixel densities and native resolutions that are not supported by many games. For the same feature set in a 4k Samsung or LG you will be looking at spending 40% more. I am extremely happy with this purchase and hope to still be using this monitor for at least 4+ years. So far my customer experience has been a very positive one and I WILL update this review should any issues arise with this monitor. I would recommend the AORUS FV43U to anyone looking for a great monitor with a few caveats at an exceptional value.

Have had this Monitor for almost a month, and yes i understand the dust issues and quality control problems, beside that gigabyte approved my RMA within two hours on a monday at 7pm, which was impressive contrary to most of the hate on reddit surrounding gigabyte rma, i understand motherboards are a different issue and this is a monitor.I had a small speck of dust under the upper right side, microscopic, and it doesnt even bother me, i just figured i'd file the RMA to check the warranty process in general.I'm buying this monitor having tried mostly all high end products in monitor and tv, this monitor for its price and its performance.Im only playing in 60hz 4k, i cant even imagine 144hz in 4k on this thing.The colors or so rich and vibrant, and the assurance its not OLED just make its that much better feeling.Theres a billion options in the menu to tweak i think its great, i love mobility in products.HDR is absolutely ridiculous when compatible with games.This is a beautiful experience you wont regret, if you get a unit that has bad pixels or whatever its just a symptom of the times and not the product, I dont want to send mine in because I love playing on this thing so much that I dont want to wait to get it back because the small speck of dust is so microscopic I have to earnestly lean in and pull out a monocle.I got mine for 515 from amazon used, It seems to be the only deal ive seen, they had to ship it from california amazon warehouse, mustve been a random return, I love this monitor though.Dont listen to people on Reddit, actually try a product and give it some time, not everything is perfect because you throw money at it, i understand paying 1,000$ and wanting something that works, I think where the FV43U might fail is completely out of the hands of Gigabytes intention, as in dust, dead pixels is a factory thing, on paper and in person this monitor performs at the top of its class.

Very good monitor for the price. I’ve had it for about 2 years and works just like out of the box, no dead pixels yet. Just a little to big for what I need. Very clear picture and great response time.

I was firm believer of ultra wide display, like lg 34GN850-B, for a long time for computer monitor until I encountered this display.All better features present in this with larger display within same price range as lg (-VA), so I gave it a try.I was blown away, by its picture quality, size, and the remote controllable interface.The features listed are accurate and not much to say about them, because they are good.Here to list couple cons,1)VA display, 1m MPRT. Comparing to lg 34GN850-B, initially I noticed some after image (ghosting, blur), but ever so noticeable. It also could be the size of the display that I am noticing it, as lets say if I were to use larger desk and sitting further back, I may not even notice at all.Emphasizing again ever so slight. It doesn't hinder you from gaming.2)Too many unnecessary features.I personally rather have curved display with less features in, or even pay a little more.Large displays tend to give a feeling of curved edge screen like Samsung galaxy phones up close.Those two cons aren't even worth taking .1 star though. This is the definitely most well rounded/priced display to-day.Ah, another concern I had before purchase, is that gigabyte is not display main company, as we all know. (also not as established as LG or Samsung for display market)but do not worry, you won't regret buying this.
