  • This week I'm checking out the ASRock PG34WQ15R3A ultrawide gaming monitor with some very neat features built right into the stand! AsRock showed this monitor at CES 2023 this year, focusing in on not only providing a solid gaming experience with the display, but also improving your network connection and desk setup aesthetics. If you're into customization or RGB lighting, this monitor might be one worth looking at.

    Thank you for the review, to me sounds like a great option. I am about to upgrade from 27inch 1440p ips to UW VA and options are asrock, cooler master gm34 or dell s3422 all in the £400 price range here in UK. Just can't decide! Mostly for gaming, little media consumption. Don't care about hdr, oled display or other gimmicks, just the panel. I'm almost convinced to go with this asrock as it's 165hz compared to most other panel at this price, 144hz.

      @@giorgosprince9794 3 weeks ago bought this asrock, without rgb model. I love it! Coming from 27" ips 1440p, this is something else! Once you adjust colours and play with Nvidia control panel gamma, contrast, hue, this monitor shines. Don't know if Dell would be better, but I do like this. Gaming is on a different level now with my 13900k+4090. Nvidia gsync works also. I can recommend it, black levels are great. I don't see much smearing not even in fast paced games. Some flickering when fps drops under 30 like on loading screen, think it was the same on my ips.

      @@user-we8nc7fl7b i have the Asrock 34 for 8 months now, I think it's a good value and great screen. I play cs2, cod, and other casual games. There is some colour tearing as all VA panels have, not in all games mostly in cod, but you can get used to it. It needed some extra settings from Nvidia control panel like digital vibrance at 65%, max contrast and brightness from the screen settings. I still have my old IPS 27inch, my son is using it and every time I look at it I think it's a better screen than VA, mostly because of sharpness I think, the image looks more clear to me. On the other side, the colours look better on the VA. Don't think there are many curved 34 IPS available with this curvature, and I can't go back to a flat screen wide after using this ultrawide, is just an amazing gaming experience. Would I buy it again now? Yes for sure. Hopefully in the future oleds will be cheaper and with less burn in, for now this is a great value for me. If you'll buy it, it will take some time to get used to it from an IPS.

    Thanks for the honest review, although this monitor is a bit too gimmicky for my taste. I use a flat ultrawide monitor for gaming and productivity (I like the ability to have two documents side by side) and it is perfect for my needs.

      Unfortunately, that's incorrect at this resolution. If you scale down the image with compression or subsampling it may be possible, but the bandwidth used is close to 18 Gbps, exceeding the specification for HDMI 2.0. On lesser resolutions, yes, you can push higher refresh rates.
