Professional reviewers praise the S2722DC for its workplace versatility, highlighting the seamless USB-C docking, extensive ergonomic adjustments, and accurate color performance. While they note the monitor's 75 Hz panel is adequate for casual gaming, they point out its limitations for competitive play and the lack of HDMI 2.0, HDR, and a KVM switch.
Everyday users love the monitor's clean design, easy setup, and especially the USB-C charging for laptops, calling it ideal for remote work. Common complaints focus on the underpowered speakers, the older HDMI standard, and occasional insufficient charging power for high-end laptops.
Professional reviewers, notably Tom's Hardware, hail the X34 X0bmiiphux as a flagship ultrawide LCD that rivals OLED in brightness and contrast. They praise its 1152-zone Mini LED backlight, Quantum Dot layer, 99% DCI-P3 coverage and "killer" HDR performance, while noting the lack of G-Sync Ultimate is not a major drawback.
Everyday users love the monitor's immersive curvature, exceptional HDR brightness, and solid build quality. USB-C convenience and the wide screen for multitasking receive frequent compliments. Common complaints focus on blooming in dark scenes, a sluggish OSD menu, and the need to use DisplayPort or USB-C for the full 200 Hz refresh rate.
