What Buyers Say
Deco Gear VIEW490 49" Black 2019
The Deco Gear curved monitor generally receives high praise for its price, resolution, and gaming performance, with users highlighting the 144Hz refresh rate, 1440p resolution, and built-in hub. However, a verified negative review reports a critical USB-C port failure after a few months and describes customer support as nearly impossible to reach, with a promised replacement never delivered. While most reviews are very positive, the single detailed negative account significantly lowers the overall score due to the severity of the issue and poor support experience.
