What is Deco Gear DGVIEW201

The Deco Gear DGVIEW201 is a 35-inch ultrawide monitor with an impressive specs sheet. Deco Gear is not a mainstream monitor brand so should you trust them? Are they worth the money?

In short, Yes. To know more, read this review.

Deco Gear 35" DGVIEW201 – Image Quality

The Deco Gear DGVIEW201 is a 35-inch Ultrawide QHD (3440 x 1440) Monitor. It is based on a VA panel. It covers 95% of the sRGB color gamut and supports 8-bit color depth.

The 3440 x 1440 resolution offers you higher screen real estate when compared to 1080p displays. Using the PIP and PBP features, you can make use of large space to improve your productivity at work. I have explained in detail about these features further below.

The image quality of this monitor is good. It produces vibrant and true-to-life visuals. It is a great choice for gaming and multimedia consumption. Besides color-critical graphic design, you can use it for pretty much anything.

It has a brightness level of 250-nits and a contrast ratio of 3000:1. It is a fairly bright monitor. You can use it in a well-lit room without having any issues with it.

Its high contrast ratio results in deeper-looking blacks and bright whites. Its overall panel uniformity is decent. I did not find any major inequalities in color, brightness, and contrast levels across the panel.

Its 178-degree wide viewing angles offer the least change in color and brightness levels when you look at it from extreme angles. It doesn’t cause washed-out visuals like TN panel monitors when you view it from extreme angles.

It has a decent pixel density of 107 PPI. This makes images look detailed without any issues of pixelation. The text looks crisp without any blurriness.

The Deco Gear DGVIEW201 has no HDR certification, unlike its many other peers. Honestly, I don’t think this is a major issue. Most of its peers despite being HDR certified did not offer any breathtaking HDR experience. For its price, I won’t expect it to be HDR certified.

There were no dead pixels on the monitor I reviewed. It also had only minimal VA glow towards its edges. It has a matte anti-glare coating on its edges that diffuses any reflections that form on it.

On the whole, I’m really impressed with its image quality. Of course, I wouldn’t put it in the same league as $1000+ LG ultrawide monitors but I can confidently say that I got more than what I paid for.

Deco Gear 35” DGVIEW201 – Design, Ergonomics, and Connectivity

The Deco Gear DGVIEW201 is a curved monitor having a curvature of 1800R. Its curved screen offers you better immersion while gaming and watching movies. It has ultra-thin bezels that make it a great choice for multimonitor setups as they reduce the bezel gap.

In terms of aesthetics, there are three ambient LED lights present on the back of this monitor and its stand had red highlights on it.

The build quality of this monitor is passable. It has a large v-shaped stand. There is minimal wobble but you won’t have any issues if you place it on a firm desk. Its stand only offers you -5° to 15° tilt functionality. You cannot swivel, adjust its height or rotate it. You can wall-mount it using a 75×75 VESA pattern present on it.

There are OSD buttons present on the lower bezel using which you can adjust various settings. To be honest, they were a bit difficult to operate. A joystick would have been a better option.

The Deco Gear DGVIEW201 has several connectivity ports including 3 x HDMI and 1x DisplayPort. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack and no built-in speakers.

brief

Deco Gear 35” DGVIEW201 – Gaming Performance

The Deco Gear DGVIEW201 is a decent choice for gaming.

It has a refresh rate of 100Hz. You will notice a striking improvement in the smoothness of gameplay when you switch over from a 60Hz monitor.

It also supports FreeSync refresh rate technology that prevents visuals artifacts such as screen tearing, stuttering, and lagging while gaming. You can also use it with Nvidia graphics cards without any issues.

It has a 4ms response time whose input lag is around 6ms. Like any other VA panel monitor, I have noticed a little bit of ghosting in dark areas of fast-paced games.

The Deco Gear DGVIEW201 is perfect for sim racing, flight simulators, and MOBAs. I wouldn’t suggest it for competitive esports players.

Deco Gear 35” DGVIEW201 – Additional Features

The Deco Gear DGVIEW201 offers a lot of practical features for professionals. It has a blue light filter that helps prevent eye strain after prolonged use.

It is also a flicker-free monitor. You won’t experience any headaches while using it.

It supports the PIP (Picture in Picture) and PBP (Picture by Picture) features. Using the PIP feature, you can split your monitor into several segments and assign applications to each one. PIP helps you multitask seamlessly.

Using the PBP feature, you can simultaneously view displays from two different sources. This reduces the aspect ratio of 16:9 for each source.

There are also other features such as Overdrive, Game Profiles, etc that help enhance your gaming experience. You also get various color modes to suit your viewing purpose.
