Hey! Great video. I searched for this monitor yesterday and didn't click on your video at first because the model wasn't in the title. Might make it more obvious for people searching if you included it. Either way good review!
Hi, actually i have 2 24" screens and i will buy xp 34", which screen holder would you recommend me to have the same disposition of you ? ( 2 screens upstairs and the xp 34" downstairs on the desk)
Hey there, I have my 27" monitors mounted with a dual arm and then the X34 using its supplied base. I'm really happy with how it works, but it's well worth looking at the space you have between the wall and desk. I've had to move my desk forward a decent amount to allow for the arms
Thank you for the review. Really help me to know more about this monitor. Already order one for me. Just one question, is the colour glowing when in dark background/wallpaper ?
Hey there Aliff, I am not 100% sure what you mean but if you mean any light leakage or anything like that. Then I have no issues at all. I have quite a dark theme for my PC and everything looks on point
Is there a potential that the monitor setting and PC settings are causing you to be at 100hz? There are benefits to Display port compared to HDMI but it should be restricting to 100hz
it does NOT have inbuilt speakers. the Omen Hub is a bit wonky, better use buttons on the monitor. other than that this monitor is insane price/quality wise.

Hi, could you please tell me how this monitor works with 2560x1080 (21:9) resolution? I want to be sure that it will be ok with cyberpank on ultra settings. Thank you!
The typical res for this is 3440x1440 so it will work for what you're after but may look a bit odd. In terms of ultra settings for Cyberpunk, that will likely be more down to your graphics card. The monitor will have no issue so long as you have the suitable dpec
You know, I've been thinking of getting a "3k" ultrawide, but most are curved. This is the one monitor that ticks every box on my list. > 165hz 1ms response > 34 inch ultrawide > Flat! Yes! > DP 1.4 Seriously happy I found this review. Now to save my money!
Also to mention that most of curved monitors have VA panel, this is IPS Panel! Even better! And on top of that you have an advantage on FPS games, as you get more screen (FOV). (if you think the image would stretch, we'll it isn't!)

Hey mate, your setup would work perfectly fine. I personally have a core i7 11th gen, 3080 and also use a core i7 10th gen with a 3070. The monitor uses both HDMI and DP for inputs so should be nice smooth sailing.
Hello thanks for your review, I have a pc i7 6600k and gpu GTX MSI 1080 GAMING-X 8GB WITH 16gb ddr4 3200mhz. I can play well with this monitor? Do you know if hp changes it for you if there is a dead pixel etc? I don't know how HP's warranty service will be in Spain. I have doubts about buying this or the iiYama x34 ips 144hz, but I have read bad reviews with flickering in freesync and g sync by display port.

Hey there, In terms of your spec with the this monitor... There would be no issue at all with compatibility. I can't really talk much to the discussion on flickering, my device has been perfect. I primarily use this for Work and gaming, I certainly feel I make the most of this when playing games.

"It is a ridiculously high resolution" well its a 1440p monitor. 4k is higher res. 8k is "ridiculously high", not 1440p lol. 1440p is just standard these days. You always know when you hear over exaggerations like that that the video is probably gonna be pretty biased. Or at least, that is the impression you give. I am interested in the Gigabyte M34WQ which uses the same panel. It is only rated for 144hz and also doesn't quite get the 1ms advertised so was curious to see if this really does do 165hz/1ms or if that is misleading. But all i get from this is that you enjoy it. Unfortunately the typical amazon reviews could tell as much.
Hey there, you're right it is a 1440p monitor. But considering the specs and its price, it's a great value for money. That's something I love to celebrate. Based on tests, yes it does hit the 165hz and 1ms response time. I hope this helps :)
