i need a second set of hands because the arm i'm mounting it to is legit and has a sophisticated locking mechanism that needs a tool that my dad has in his makeshift workshop in the garage—and i feel like im going to make a mistake.

if the reviews that were there were paid, id eat glass. i know diction; i know persuasive writing when it's written sloppily. these aren't compensated customers.

the price i paid is so low that there's no competition, which is probably indicative of its abysmal quality.
reviews weren't bad and there were plenty of them and not written by "free product" paid reviewers, so i bit that lure.

the only product on the website just to prove they have items to sell is my exact monitor but curved w a lower refresh rate, and if they sold me that monitor instead...thatd be fine LMAO~

the manufacturer behind this monitor is some chinese shit that only sell via ecommerce and the website is barebones w no effort behind its presentation, but all of that is okay because i didn't buy a performance monitor—its a throwaway screen i'm using for static content.

for context, 34" is just shy of 3', let's say there's packing around it and all the logistics making it north of 4', so the box as delivered is probably wasted space /or/ more secure packing which i wouldn't complain about.

i kind of don't really see why this shipping box is so gargantuan, but i think the product box inside it is the tru size of the actual item.

i don't want to force something to work, which it won't because i would be craning my neck to see the top of the monitor. the 29" veteran monitor that's oriented portrait is already a reach.

i think i'm going to stack them tbh. they're both the same physical dimensions and identical resolutions, so it's not like they'll clash.
