I was actually pleasantly surprised with the stand not being able to swivel, as with my current monitor (24G2U) I am constantly moving the panel side to side as it just kinda feels off most of the time, so just knowing it's perfectly symmetrical is definitely a bonus

Really enjoy your review format for these monitors! If possible would be interesting to see your take on the Acer Xv340ck budget ips ultrawide compared to the other models you've tested. Cheers!
@@MSJChem I have a single dead pixel, but otherwise it's fairly impressive. BLB isn't bad for VA, and ghosting isn't as bad as people were reporting. Contrast is the best part.
My old MSI 100 hz ultrawide just died. Heard about this monitor and all reviews are very positive. Best of all on sale for $299 at the moment in micro center for USA folk. No Brainerd at that price.
So I picked it up x5 days ago and have been thrilled still dialing a few settings in for hdr content but gaming on it with a Ryzen 3800x and a RTX 3070 is incredible.
@@jameskyler5441 I've never used an ultra-wide monitor before, I'm coming from a 16:9 ratio monitor. Would you say the switch is worth it? This monitor is currently at $299 at BestBuy. I'm still kinda on the fence.
They use different panels. Gigabyte's uses a Samsung SVA, while Asus uses a CSOT VA panel. The latter reaches 90% DCI-P3, while Gigabyte's reaches 87% as per Hardware Unboxed, I believe. The Asus has issues for users with Nvidia cards, but works fine with AMD cards. That's where people notice strange purple or green ghosting. The responsiveness of the Asus is pretty good though. I'm using it with an AMD card and like it. It also reaches 4500:1 contrast ratio, per multiple reviews. That's pretty impressive for a high-refresh monitor.
@@Fr0gg0 You are correct! I saw this after passing by a comment comparing the Gigabyte to the Asus and completely crossed my wires, replying my thoughts to that here. I'd definitely go with the Gigabyte here over AOCs lackluster implementation.
Looks like gigabyte released a non-curved version of this with usb-c connectivity and power delivery, as well as a built in KVM. I am very tempted as long as the other specs are comparable to this model. Have you seen the M34WQ yet?
Quality content right here! Get a sub, dude. What is your opinion comparing this monitor to MSI OPTIX MAG342CQRV. I'm deciding which 34" I'm gonna buy for a month now.
Thanks for your review. I'm torn between the Gigabyte and the LG 34GP83A (your monitor). Normally I'd go IPS over VA as I'll also be using this for work (text readability) as well as competitive FPS gaming (smearing, response times), but from your review it seems to be quite a decent panel and I'd be saving a lot of money. Do you think I'd be missing out if I got the Gigabyte instead of the LG?
@@LoneWhiteWolf98 I actually went with neither in the end and got the Dell AW3421DW as there was a student deal for it. I'm pretty happy with it overall and glad I went for IPS
I don't know, I like his videos but I definitely feel like he's being sponsored and hence sounds way more like an advertisement to sell the products than actual reciews (way too much effort trying to make up the cons).

I just got one and I'm not able to access the picture options in settings, it's greyed out along with some other settings preventing from changing pretty much anything. Is there something I need to do to get access or did I just get a defective model? Please help!
@@OfficialMazLi Yes I did. I absolutely love this monitor, no complaints at all. For coding ultrawides are straight outta heaven, you can actually get a lot more productive. For competitive FPS games (like Apex Legends, CSGO and Valorant which I play mostly) it's not recommended, at max 27 inches are better but you're still gonna enjoy those games if you just wanna play causally but for AAA games it's beyond amazing and so immersive. I also watch movies on it sometimes, it's not as great as IPS panels but you won't notice much difference or even care at all after a long frustrating day at work and you just wanna chill haha. Overall I got 0 regrets. It's all about your use cases and budget. There's a Xiaomi 34 inch which is a bit cheaper and almost has the same specs. But if you got the money go for the LG GN series 38 inches, those got IPS panels and looks way better overall. Cheers mate. I hope you find what suits you best.
Am looking to get a monitor for my Xbox series x and and don’t think there is any value in getting a hdmi2.1 monitor as yet as no games will be running at 4K. So I expect this to run at 120 fps at 1440p.
@@TypeCTechReviews Hey thanks for the reply. I have an AMD and tried forcing it in AMD settings. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I did try a couple different DP cables. Maybe I got a lemon :(
I wouldn't say it's better than the Asus. The Asus is brighter by quite a bit and small things are different, but for the price this is pretty fricken amazing.
Great monitor if you use 1 computer. If you need to switch inputs it's awful. Input switching relies on a video signal so if you have auto switch disabled and are on an input without a video signal, you're stuck there. Auto switch is shit, if my pc is on but I want to switch to my mac it switches from my mac input back to my pc because the auto switch is to quick for the input to catch my macbooks video signal. Everything about this monitor is fantastic except the input switching, and it's an extremely annoying issue.
So to wrap it all up it's a shit monitor and you might as well get one that's 900 on sale for 500 that would be better. This is like saying you got a Porsche but really drove a Pontiac Fiero

I’m glad it’s a good monitor, where I live I only had the option of this one or the AOC one as they don’t stock many ultrawides.
Good, detailed review. One thing I would recommend adding is what kind of graphics card one should use to drive all these pixels;).
I drove this on a 2080 pretty well for months, recently upgraded to a 3070 and its like a dream.
It’s pretty general man. Just look up the resolution
