Yeyian isn't a household name here in Canada, so Plouffe was excited to see if they would be shaking up the monitor market with their Sigurd 4000 curved ultrawide. With decent enough specs and an accessible price point, is this monitor an easy recommendation or should you stick with major brands?

"Yeah, this is involved, more involved than I would personally like, I wouldn't be willing to deal with this stuff" - had to read the manual for screwing in two screws in an obvious place

Yeyian was founded in 2017. So, yeah, they haven't been around long enough to build a decent rep yet. However, they have lasted past that fabled 3 year point when most companies fail, so they have that going for them.

i dont know about you, but i personally dont mind when assembling a monitor is not intuitive or takes a while, its a one time thing anyway, i dont take that into account to judge if its a good monitor

11:51 "It's not perfect, but that looks a lot better. If you buy this monitor please do yourself a gigantic favor and make sure to set both the monitor and Windows to HDR."
12:14 "I'm actually going to turn off HDR though because I bet you the SDR experience would be better. I feel like it is trying to over brighten stuff a little bit and washes out. Don't get me wrong. It's absolutely not nearly as dark where it should be in the dark areas, but this just looks better. It doesn't look all washed out and dirty, and so I would definitely basically just never turn HDR on with this monitor."
13:08 "We do with HDR turned on it is like kind of darker in the corners here, but we're just losing a lot of detail and it doesn't look great. Um, we're going to turn HDR off and take a look and see how it looks. And SDR. And again you're losing a ton of contrast but at least now I can feel I can see all these details, and it looks a bit better. I don't know. Um, I think I'd probably run this thing in SDR if I was going to buy it, personally."
Good to get solid and non confusing advice...

Yeyian it's a brand commonly found in the Latin-American market along with Ocelot gaming and Game Factor.
From my experience all their products are cheap and moderately good, but not the best quality.

Nothing against Plouffe, but is he just discovering that people usually don't have 1000$ monitors? But way cheaper one and don't need all the stupid feature (tool less assembly, usb hub,...)
161 |
"I'm not being elitist here" - calls 500$ low end
123 |
Starting to think Plouffe needs to stick to testing more expensive monitors so he doesnt compare lower end to high end
242 |
My main personality trait is owning an AW3423DW.

I actually like that there are a lot of screws. It makes everything feel more secured to what it's supposed to hr secured, even tho it doesn't make that big of a difference.
84 |
Why does it matter what the stand is like and why it has too many screws and why it's a bit of work to setup? I don't understand, yeah I know there are other monitors that are simple to setup and have no screws but why does it matter? Why does it matter when reviewing a monitor?
I mean you only setup once and that is all, all you need to worry about the display quality, peak nits, refresh rate, response time, lag, and the hertz and other technical stuff.
26 |
Why does he always freak out about setting up the stand every time? I mean, you only gotta do it like once every few years. It's not gonna hurt if he takes an extra 10 minutes to do it.

Cant deny it, as a mexican i am pretty happy this mexican brand has expanded their horizons to see it in a Linus Media Channel

Another installment of Plouffe looking at an ultrawide... Will he compare it to his AW3423DW at home? Probably.
Not crazy about this thing being VA... but perhaps it can make up for it in other aspects?
71 |
I'm really not liking the snobbery here Plouffe....as a low cost monitor connoisseur, the end user experience trumps the set up experience and after it's set up you're golden-ish. I've had good and bad experiences going low end, but there have been pleasant surprises along the way.

"If you buy this monitor. Do yourself a huge favor and set the HDR to on"
"So I would definitely, basically never turn the HDR on"

i work in a company that imports these monitor panels, we do the rebranding depending on the reseller.
That OSD is a generic OSD for these monitor panels since its from one manufacturer in shenzen, these monitors uses a class B samsung panel (yes not the best panels) but they are pretty ok

I got a Viotek GNV34DBE2 a couple years ago and it looks almost the same as this one from the front bezel, OSD, and specs. I have loved it. Great high resolution ultra-wide for like $350 which was a great deal.

The amount of complaining for screws on the back of the stand that you're never gonna see is annoying
