Bought this baby a month ago. To anybody considering a purchase: Go for it! Great monitor, especially at this price point!
How do you feel about the lack of a curve at this size. I’m planning on getting it and it will be my first ultrawide.
@@ljtech20 I personally don't like curved monitors, which was one of the reasons why I got the Gigabyte. If you never had an ultrawide, I'd recommend you to go to the store and check out non-curved ultrawides first. From personal experience though, I don't need the curve to see each corner of the monitor.
same !
@@ljtech20 you definetly won't need the curve for this monitor. The viewing angles are great
What about the Glare Filter? I read multiple times that this monitor has a very strong matte effect and the colors look quite washed out, which is also visible in the review video here. For me it's important that the colors look bright and vibrant.
I love your reviews so much man and so high quality.
Thinking of getting this monitor mainly because I can use it for programming and playing games.
I was waiting for this. Thank you
Very impressed with this monitor. Bought it literally 2 hours ago after I saw the text clarity from your video 🤣
Yeah I got this monitor for my birthday recently and I love it.
I bought this, seriously impressed with the performance considering price point.
You have any issues with back light bleed? I just bought a m34wq and have two small spots along the top left edge where it bleeds in a dark scene. I've heard this can be a fairly common problem, and the bleed is subtle, so I'm trying to decide if RMA is worth the hassle or I should live with it.
@@mabm85 I know this is a late response but I might as well say it in case someone else needs to know. Its not worth returning, its a risk you take with IPS every time. The backlight bleed varies, it could be bad or good, or not noticeable. Its just part of the panel tech. I dont find it noticeable though.
Great review, thanks
So glad its not curved. Curved panels are really really bad for fps games and create distortion that just looks bad.
thanks for doing this
That's a very nice review!
Was able to snag it on amazon for only $400! Right now its at $450, which is still a great price!
I have just got this monitor coming from a 1080p 34 ultrawide lg curved I am currently getting the same effect as you mentioned where it appears to bend the other way I am pleased you touched on that @7.05 and said that it infact does goes away as I was worried it wouldnt as I have only had it 1 day 🤣
Hey, did this ever correct itself for you? Or is it curved away from the user forever? 🤣
@@MANKICKS yeah it did correct it’s self 😂 I no longer feel it’s curved away 😂
Noice video as usual love then keep it up! Ps pls make s video on best budget gaming monitors under 250$ plsss! 😄
Ok winner for what exactly?
What about HDR? Can it calibrate with calibration tool (i have)? or why you not recommend HDR on this monitor?
Hey, what would you recommend between these two for mainly reading purposes and just a little bit of gaming.
Help me. It's either this one or Dell S3422DWG. Which one to buy 😭
Hi bro, what is the KW of type c port? Can charge MacBook?
I just ordered this 2 days ago, waited as long as I could, watching now...I hope Im not disappointed. :D I have the LG monitor you spoke of and its broken. It broke 3 months after I initially bought it, got those horizontal lines like most people did with that monitor, LG fixed it, but took 3 months to do so, then I accidentally bumped it 10 months later and the panel got jacked up. It is so disappointing because I love that monitor. I debated on sending it in to get fixed but it would have cost me the same price as this monitor. Eventually I may have it repaired but for the time being, I bought this one. Also had the Asus Tuf VA and sent it back after 2 weeks. The red/green ghosting was HORRIBLE. I'll never buy VA panel again. Its hard to find a good IPS ultrawide that isn't $1000 these days, hence why I jumped on this one.
I'm thinking about getting this one too. I hope the brightness is enough tho..
@@andertheker8331 yeah the brightness worries me a little bit but my current 4k is roughly the same and its bright enough, just not as bright as my lg ultrawide was. I got mine on newegg for $470 because of the cyber deals. Not sure if its still that price
Have you received it already?
@@UbbeWankenubbe Yeah I have been using it. It's decent. Much better than the VA's I've tried but falls short of the higher priced LG. Brightness is ok, HDR sucks except for Doom Eternal. Doom allows you to fine tune the HDR settings. All games with HDR should have that option so you can adjust the settings to look their best for the monitor you're using. Overall I'm happy with it but there are better monitors out there.
@@smartass23t, thank you, I think I keep my order active on this gigabyte monitor. My price point is 600€. I bet you goud get LG for 1200€ and it will be much better. I previously owned Samsung CF791 and it was acceptable monitor for me. So the gigabyte supposr to be better and if so I'll be fine.
What about the black frame insertion??
Will you be reviewing the M32U?
Interested in picking this up, but it's completely out of stock everywhere in the UK.
I would like Dell to offer their UW monitor in flat versions also.
Hello im looking for a really good 34inch curved monitor but for gaming only any ideias what to go for in the 144htz 165htz
Whats the height of the stand with the screen?
need this
Does anyone know which brand/model are those speakers/monitors on the desk? Thx
Can the 15w USBC charge a laptop?
I am using 11400 with UHD 730 and 13500 uhd 770. If i turn 144hz then color depth in window reduced to 6 bit (Display port). The best i can do is using cru to make a custom of 120hz 3440x1440 8 bit. Please help.
Do you prefer this one to the Sceptre C345B? I am using the Sceptre but coming from IPS panels I find the black blur when scrolling through web pages/documents very annoying. The rest of it is great though. Just wondered what your thoughts were on this.
u still have the sceptre ?
good buy or would the Gigabyte M34WQ or Dell s3422dwg the better choice ?
I own this one and feel it a little bit overwhelm in the horizontal, it make you a little distract and hard to focus. If it has a slightly curve ligh lg 34gn850, it would be even better. However i think it would raise the price by pretty much
hi just bought this monitor .....everything is great but did anybody experience a bad backlight bleeding a big orang bleed
Can I do photo editing on this and play my Xbox series s in 120hz?
I wish there were more options for a flat ultrawide monitor, it's really annoying how they are all curved. I have nothing against the curved monitors, I just have my own preference and it's just really lame to see I have very little choices. Thanks for the reviews either way!
What's your opinion: I own an spectre c248b-144rn monitor, and I'd like to improve to a curved ultrawide, apparently the obvious option is the lg 34gp83a-b but I feel like I'm gonna miss the VA contrast, would the Asus vg34vql1b still be an improvement or does it actually have worse flickering and ghosting and all those things compared to the spectre? Thanks in advance!
ASUS has got about 4500:1 (tested on rtings) and it's definitely better for movies. If you play games at around 100-120 fps or less, you won't notice a black smearing very much comparing to IPS and yes, curved monotors are more comfortable to watch. If you prefer to play at 165 or even more, you will live with it but the black smearing becomes more apparent. Overall ASUS is better than any other monitor, especially on HDR mode (more than 500 nits). DELL is comparable to it and it costs less (it also depends on a discount). If you want to save some money, GIGABYTE is a way to go.
@@socialreport2836 Nice. Thanks!
Nice review. I would be very interested to see how the Sceptre E345B-QUT168 and GIGABYTE M34WQ compare head-to-head.
me too !
pls comment !
wait, why can't you use g-sync over type-c? It should just be using DP alt mode. my m27q worked fine with gsync.
I would like to know more about this as well. I have a laptop and desktop, both with Nvidia dGPUs and would like to be able to have both plugged in at once with gsync
I've heard the screen coating on this monitor is very thick and has a noticeable haze effect especially on a white screen. How much did you notice this?
I returned my monitor exactly for that reason. The antiglare and grainy sparkle was hurting my eyes
@@eternalwanderer3785 Damn! That's exactly what I was worrying about thanks. I guess the search continues.
@@chriswilkins3281 what do you mean with haze effect?
@@chriswilkins3281 Did you find an alternative? I was also about to buy this one but it seems the matte effect makes colors look very washed out.
is it vesa compatible?
Just bought one, love it but I have a question (possibly even very stupid question)... how do I adjust the height of the panel?? The manual says to remove "the pin" in the base for height adjustment but I cannot find a pin!!
Anyone know??
This is close to my perfect monitor. Is there a ultrawide that has 144hz, IPS, slight curve, gsync/freesync, HDR, 80-100w USB-C PD? Seems like the only one is the super expensive LG 38WN95C-W.
that's also the thing I want on my monitor and yeah the only one I found is the super expensive LG one
is it better than g34wqc ?
no HDR supported?
why you dont show black uniformity? Now is cost the same price like s3422dwg. For mix usage whitch is better?
VA 🤮
I'm undecided between this monitor and m34wq my graphics card is 4080 gaming oc what would you recommend?
Which monitor is "this"? If you want a budget WQHD for gaming then I'd always go with the m34wq since it's like the only cheap IPS one which removes ghosting completely. If you have the 4080 though I'd go for the best, Philips Evnia 34M2C8600 is the cheapest OLED ultrawide that will nontheless look massively better than any IPS or VA panel.
Does anyone know if this monitor phased out? Been looking for it for months and shops can't answer when they will restock
Amazon! I bought mine about 5 days ago
do I get the 10 bit only via hdmi or also via display port?
Also with Displayport.
Requirements: monitor in the 32-38in range that I can use for my work macbook and my gaming desktop, 144Hz+, with KVM and the best stats I can get for gaming. This looks like its what I want. Are there any other alternatives out there I should be looking at?
I just got it, and it's perfect monitor. Have had Samsung 34 CJ791, which MSRP when I bought was ~900 euro. It has VA panel, so blacks suppose to be better, but to be honest, blacks are practically the same, so considering that Gigabyte m34wq have IPS panel the blacks are good and colours are more vibrant compared to VA panel. I would definitely recommend this if you looking at this price point.
Gigabyte M32q, if you prefer a regular 16:9 format over ultrawide. 32", 170Hz, same type of stand and same set of features (KVM included) with decent price.
I may have missed it but can this monitor be hooked up to a laptop and used as the main monitor?
ofc yes
I did for mine so yes.
would totally buy this if it had a 1000 curve... would pay more for it too...
it's not like im doubting the review.. but can someone verify if the monitor actually has FreeSync?.. I saw a couple of sites that sell this monitor and I don't see in the specs about the monitor having FreeSync.. usually they will put FreeSync in the specs but it's not there..
I'm in the UK and amazon moved it up to 600 pounds. Does anyone know anywhere else from britain and is at rrp or max 50 pounds extra
Scan currently has it for 500
Noti gang🔥
gsync doesn't work with this monitor it says it's enable but gsync does not work as intended
6:48 nice Textures in this Game. What for a Game is this?
Insurgency Sandstorm
Been using this monitor with my laptop for gaming- HDMI to HDMI.
Ive noticed that the FPS is locked at 60fps when using my PC. What cable do I need? I purchased a HDMI (PC) to DP (monitor), passive cable and it cannot detect the monitor.
Not too tech savy so plz spare me the sarcasm lol
Go into your Display Settings in Windows and set the refreshrate to 144hz. (windows 10-> rightlick on desktop, display settings, scroll down, advanced displaysettings and there you can change it). A HDMI cable should do 120hz, and DP cable 144hz. No need for a dp->hdmi or vice versa.
@@themadnes5413 The only options for Refresh Rate in the Advanced settings is 60-90Hz.
I have this exact display, and i can get +120Hz when my console is plugged in. Tried using that HDMI cable as well.
Thought that perhaps my PC couldnt pump the frames out at 1440p, but its a RTX3070 so that cant be right. Figured its the cable selection. Latpop has mini DP, figured i should find a mini DP to DP cable.
@@Oldylocks yeah that would be your best bet then, get a mini dp to dp that should fix it.
I heard that this monitor have agresive anti glare protection, is not good for eyes, it is true ? Hp x34 have the same panel, does anyone have this one ?
Yes, HP X34 have same display and mate coate. But if you are not working with text on a gray / white background this shouldn't be a problem.
@@Offspring30034 heh, i want this monitor mainly on work/coding and yes i will be work with text on gray... why is it problem ? Thanks
@@cosemdesiatsedem if you are working with text on a white / gray background look for a glossy or semi-glossy monitor.
I just got this monitor, but I can only get 110Hz max, does anyone know why? I've connected via HDMI1. I have GeForce 1060 3GB.
You need HDMI2.0 cable or DP1.4 to get over 100Hz
any major backlight bleed on the monitor? thanks
Hi, how would you compare this with MSI MPG341QR. Trying to decide between the two as my budget is around the $500 range for an ultrawide. Thanks!
What did you end up gettin? and how do you like it so far? im really struggling to find a monitor. i want 34 inch 144hz minimum and good vibrant colors.
@@noisedeckofficial If it's for primarily gaming go with the gigabyte one. If not then. there are many VA options starting from 339USD
Review the xiaomi mi 34”. 300 USD
native 10 bit? are you sure!
Honestly, between choosing this or the Asus VA VG34 ultrawide is kind of a difficult choice 🤔
What did you got with?
@@alecm9936 Neither yet. Still shopping around looking at other ultrawides in a similar price range.
@@CtKEngageOh okay. I think the Dell S3422DWG is a good alternative to the Asus.
@@CtKEngage Are you from the US? I’m looking around in Canada but am finding it difficult to get something for a good price.
@@alecm9936 I'm in the U.S. I don't know how the Canadian market is like, but most of the people posting reviews for monitors will usually have an Amazon CA or other retailer link for the product. Just keep and eye out.
how it work with a macbook ?
should work fine if it is your only monitor your using besides the laptop screen itself
Just bought it, it's a great monitor. Go for it. Speakers are utter and complete garbage though.
What's the name of the racing game in the video? Looks beautiful.
it is forza horizon 5
have you tried a 2% keyboard yet?! The one you have seems too bulky and takes too much space.
G-MASTER GB3461WQSU-B1 - same specs but cheaper
FNIALLY
The 15w usb-c is super disappointing. Cant power a laptop so you still need 2 cables
I wish this had a curve :( that's the only thing that holds me back from buying this. I feel like an ultrawide needs some sort of curve since it's so wide
I own this monitor and TBH I feel like I don't really need a curve at all for me. In fact, it's 100% usable and my fov is able to see the entire screen even while being so wide.
I could had gotten a curve but I went for this one and I'm more than happy with it.
@mitu123Copper yeah, you're right man. I was a bit of a monitor noob back then lol I went with the dell 3422dwg which barely has a curve and it's been great. Good to know yours is good too 😁
@@tre-ou5gt Oh nice. Hilariously enough I almost went with that exact Dell monitor but went with the Gigabyte to check how a flat ultrawide would turn out and it's much better than I expect it, I have no issues with it. But enjoy the Dell since it's one of the better VA ultrawide monitors in it's price range.
Also this or the g34wqc
the g34wqc is curved and has a VA panel. That's a big difference, and you should know which panel is better for you, or if you like curved or straight monitors.
@@andertheker8331 it is my first time getting a monitor and so I don't know what is the best
@@Shay-gq3ub VA panel is basically better if you want higher contrast, and a brighter screen. IPS is better if you don't like ghosting (look it up, I can't explain), and like faster response time (lower input lag), and better / more colours.
So basically you have to know if you like VA or IPS more. I prefer IPS, because I don't really care about contrast, and the screen in the review is bright enough for me.
@@andertheker8331 would ips be good for movies and streaming? Also thank you for the help
@@Shay-gq3ub yes for sure. Also keep in mind that many movies are 21:9 so the monitor in the review is pretty good, because you won't have the black bars at the top and bottom. (not in all movies tho..)
If you want to stream yourself tho you will need a second monitor for sure
Review the HP X34 feel like it's better than this monitor
165hz on 8 bit, lesser feature. both monitor can do 144hz 8bit+frc(?). I would just take whichever cheaper or better deal
@@sayacee5813yea it does 10 bit at 144hz
@@sayacee5813 The HP is 100€ less here in europe, you say its the same basically? Because that would be a good saving for me
@@froznfire9531 its basically the same, hp got 165 hz option, a more standard looking stand
the gigabyte have more feature
i would just take which ever cheaper on ur region. the gigabyte is also around 100 usd more expensive here
@@sayacee5813 So the panel is the same? Since the Gigabyte has better ratings from the manufactures liek 117% sRGB vs 99% on the HP?
165 is nice addon, the features I dont really need and it looks less gamer like which is good imo
High End VA > Nano IPS > IPS > Budget VA > TN (High end VA like the Samsung G7 or MSI Artymis)
M34WQ and M34WQC is totally different monitors
Not totally different same except VA vs IPS
Curtin's is that not a thing anymore? I'm old so maybe everyone just lives there lives balls out now. 😂
Wounderful Species $500++ M34WQ IPS monitor. So colourful like SONY TV. also much much more cheaper then those Greedy expensive MSI Monitor. (So expensive & Easy spoil too MSI : D ) 😜 MSI Monitor so Blurry too. Unsharp.
Why am I watching this?
I have Acer x38p!!
Can't even buy the M34 its out of stock everywhere
HDMI 2.0 is an insult. They even included 2 of these, so double insult.
The M34WQ and M34WQC are different monitors, the latter is a curved VA panel.
Wrong. The G34WQC it’s the one with the VA panel. There’s no M34WQC, not sure where he got that from.
No 4K?
I think the m32q is better
It's not Ultra Wide, it has a bit higher refresh rate, but apart from that I believe you just choosing ether go 21:9 or 16:9.
First
😜 MSI Monitor so Blurry too. Unsharp.
