Reposted from another video's comment: I just got this monitor. Have been playing around with it for 3 days now to see if it really has issues worth sending back. I have noticed the red/green black smear issue at 144/165hz and higher overdrive settings. My final settings that I have no issues with: Turn off all monitor processing features (ELMB, ASCR, blue light filter, eco mode, shadow boost) Overdrive = 20 Enable 10 bit color (Nvidia control panel, use Nvidia Color Settings - 10pbc-32bit-output RGB) (for HDR to work right) Refresh rate 120hz + gsync fullscreen only Global frame cap 115fps (nvidia control panel), set individual games to 110 in game FPS limit if possible I also calibrated mine with DisplayCAL and an i1 displaypro calibrator: Settings (top): sRGB Spectral correction : LCD PFS Phosphor WLED Family Whitepoint: (auto filled when selecting sRGB) Chromacity .3127x .3290y Tone curve: SRGB Contrast (monitor): default of 80 Conclusion: It runs great for me at these settings. I don't need anything more than 120hz because I typically play at max visual fidelity at the cost of FPS so I generally target 90-100fps in most games anyway even on a 3080. There is a definite improvement over my old 27GL83a-b in picture quality, black levels, back light bleed and uniformity. I am happy with the panel in that regard, but the motion handling and obviously max refresh take a hit vs an IPS alternative. At 120hz refresh rate I'm not even sure there's much motion handling difference vs the IPS, or I've already got used to it and it's a non issue. HDR performance is great for only being HDR400 with an actual max of 550. Sea of thieves looks incredible as an example. Anyway that's just my .02 from someone who read about all the issues and bought it to try anyway. This would not have been my choice if I were purely wanting high refresh rate and excellent motion handling, I would have gone for the alienware AW3821DW or LG38GL950, but those are 3x the price making this a great compromise. Final note the 34" 21:9 is SO much better than my 27" 16:9, it feels absolutely huge, and gave me the extra horizontal viewing angle I wanted
Thank you for your opinion and Settings about This monitor. I have it for around 4 months,and besides it is very powerfull on the brightness, the green/purple trails um dark areas make me crazy. I Will Try your settings. Cheers
it was better than 90% of "reviews" and much appreciated since there is not that much info about this one but really the only ones doing a professional monitor and TV reviews are Hardware Unboxed and RTINGS and HDTVTest....they are just on another level to anyone else
Great review thx just bought one today - should be here soon. I'm excited to get behind it, coming from my two 27" monitors down to just one sounds like a nice change to me
@@aquaman5464 After about 2 hours of use the screen would flicker every 20-30 seconds. Changed power outlets, power cords, different cables, etc. Even with no source it would flicker. Total time on monitor was 24 hours before I returned it.
@@ginzero omg that's bad esp when it is an expensive monitor, you definitely got a bad one unlucky there. I've decided not to change my monitor , I'll stick with my va ultrawide I have.
A downside I found out after I had gotten a second one is that the backlight really does not last at all. I have 2 of these side by side, same settings, and the older one is about half the brightness of the new one. Their manufacturing dates are only 2 years apart. Another issue which I really hate is that asus removed firmware updates from their website, so you cannot update your firmware after you get it, and there appear to be significant changes between versions, with entirely new settings. Support will also refuse to give you a direct link or way to download the firmware update and requires you to send it in for repairs just for them to update the firmware for you. Your only hope of support is going to RUclips and possibly finding repair guides, which are few and many do not go into detail.
Thank you for the review, that was helpful. It seems that there's compromises in almost every price class. I spent a week researching and now found an offer for 420 € for the Asus, used as a show case. After watching your review I ordered it. Hope it's not burnt in or anything.
@@1UpNerdcore It took a while to get to me, but it eventually did. Hadn't it been for an opened cable package I would have thought it was new. So far I only noticed some color trailing in dark/shadowy areas and only if frame rates drop (Deus Ex MD is a perfect test for this). I somehow missed that it even has speakers and was quite surprised. I usually game with a headset but to play some Monkey Island or Minecraft with the kids that's very convenient :-) So, yes, I am exremely happy with it. Thank you again for the review!
@@endlosschleife im in serious crisis on making a decision between this panel and another LG ultrawide. I love the LG its IPS etc but its way more expensive and i rather like the price of the ASUS. but getting apprehensive because of the all the complaints about the green red flashing issue and the ghosting because its a VA panel. How are you liking it now? do you use it for alot of gaming? hows it perform?
@@Djaym0 Ugh sorry, I wanted to answer right away but forgot about it. Not sure if it still helps, but I'll give it a go now. I've been seeing the green/red issue not often overall, but regularly in some games. It mostly seems to happen when the fps drop below 60. When it happens, it's rather immersion-breaking unfortunately. It can apparently be mitigated by in-game motion blur features. Using the monitor's overdrive feature seems to make it worse. Had this a lot in Deus Ex MD, as mentioned. There's a transition in night-time Prague at the pedestrian bridge, probably loading textures in the background. Also, the stone textures at night-time are prone to it. I saw it a little in Cyberpunk, usually at night time and spots that are more complex, with dropping frame rates. Last game I played Terminator: Resistance which has a lot of night time missions and dark spots. I almost never saw it happening there. I don't notice a lot of ghosting tbh but that may just be me. I've been using it almost exclusively for gaming until 3 days ago. All in all, after a year of experience, I don't regret buying it, especially for the special offer I got. That said, I have little to no experience or comparison to current (or even 1 year old) tech since I haven't really been gaming for ~10 years prior and that reflected in my hardware. Means I was coming from a 24" 1080p@60 Hz Samsung display 🙈
Really enjoy how in-depth you go in your reviews! Have you ever used the LG 34GP83A-B or AW3420DW? Very different price points for those 2 monitors, but I'd like to hear how these budget monitors compare to the high-end counterparts.
The dark tones on those LG nano displays are disappointing however the LG nano displays are fast with very little image banding to be found with color tones that really pop. As for the Alienware I know little to nothing specific but I would certainly consider the new alienware aw3423DWF (The F model is the new one that does not use the G-sync module and is 165Hz) QD-OLED. Samsung is finally releasing their model based on their QD-OLED which is the same as the one used in the Alienware version. Samsung simply adds multimedia features into it. VA panels are nice for the contrast and the deep blacks but they are far more likely to have issues with dark tones. the MSI MAG301CR2 really suffered at lower than 70fps and at higher than 180Hz it could not keep up with the fast moving images.
I just got the inferior (I guess) 100hz version; pretty happy with it! Using it with PC and PS5. I need to try Doom Eternal out! Slightly annoying that PBP just will not work though... PIP works, but PBP is a no go (at least with DP + HDMI). No issues with light bleed, ghosting etc
Affordable. Price conscious. Middle ground. Best of both worlds. Alternative words to plug and play over ‘budget’. I agree with ‘budget’ but allow the owner to consciously agree it’s a budget monitor but great monitor for its specs and price.
@@1UpNerdcore Maybe entry level? I don't think there's anything wrong with saying budget though since these are the offerings near the price floor for ultrawide gaming monitors. Can't really sugar coat it just because it might seem high to first time buyers. You could always just categorize by price range "best ultrawide under $500" or something like that.
I've reliaze something strange, the monitor support 12bits!!!, you only have to change the frecuency in nvidia panel to 60hz, come back to 100hz (HDMI LOCKED), and come back again to 60hz and 12bits is unlocked. the quality of colors chage a lot and ghosting disapears.
HDR is fully supported in most games through Auto HDR Windows feature (when HDR isn't supported in a game) or SpecialK software and FALD HDR1000 displays are noticibly better, obviously.
Still best selling monitor here afer 2 years, good price for its features, thanks for this ammortal review and all suggestions in comments, Im very picky but my 10 years old TN Asus monitor will be easily upgraded with anything so no point in pinpoint picking lol
How do you rate the Asus TUF VG34VQL1B over the AOC CU34G2X strictly in terms of ghosting/black smear? Great indepth reviews by the way. I'm looking at the Gigabyte G34WQC which is apparently very similar / slighlty better response times than the AOC.
@TY FITZSIMON Wow, that's a pretty rude response to someone's message. Especially without knowing their situation. How do you know she hasn't bee saving and waiting until she found what she wanted?
@@denverread7015 thank you 😄 I've been doing research for weeks to decide, wasn't easy and watched a lot of reviews but from the Asus there aren't many reviews but what I heard was mostly positive
Where is the live background with the fox from? That's quite something. I like your review. I'd just like to note that color accuracy isn't the same as color gamut. I suggest you get a colorimeter if you're going to test this with monitors. The wider color gamut is preferable for HDR content, but otherwise it can oversaturate colors in the sRGB color space. Because most content from Windows to programs to apps, to the internet itself, is designed for sRGB, it has to stretch this color space to fit its own. You can get around this using sRGB emulation. I imagine both monitors will look similar if limited to this, though IPS may well still have a more vibrant appearance. With a lower contrast ratio of IPS panels, however, the difference may be less noticeable.
When using PBP mode the aspect ratio is way off. Is their a way to have the image not squished? The black bar on top and bottom would be fine but not seeing an option here.
looks like might be a monitor to upgrade my OG daddy of 3440x1440 VA panels, the first ever VA panel released in this format, the Samsung S34E790C that I own since 2015 (the 3rd ever produced 3440x1440, the first 2 being IPS panels from LG with terrrible backligh bleed) I was thinking of getting the 3840x1600 38" but tested one for a week and it's a bit too big and have to move my head to look corner to corner so will probably just get a new 34" not that I really need one, but planning to upgrade my GPU and could use the extra refresh rate, probably better colors and better SW features being newer ;o]
So, you have reviewed so many different ultra wide monitors till now. But which one is the "best" of them? I know it depends on what you need and everybody has a different opinion but out of your monitors, which is the best price-performance monitor? My budget is between 500-600€. Would be very nice if you or someone out of your community could help me out! Thanks !
Coming across a lot of review videos for ultrawide monitors. I'm looking between this Tuf monitor and the LG 34GP83A-B 34, the LG being about 300 dollars more. In your opinion is the LG worth the 300 more or would this Tuf be enough for gaming games like FFXIV, stardew, some mainstream games and also streaming?
@@ahsannauman8401 Its only when the Monitor is off, the little blue led at the bottom makes this very loud coil whine. If you dont have any problems with that go with the Samsung
@@ahsannauman8401 No, Happens when the Monitor is plugged in. I am from Germany i read about it in german reviews... try youre luck many poeple didnt have the problem
How would you compare this to the Acer XZ321QU? Would this be a worthwhile upgrade? I just bought the new G6 but returned it because it was super blurry, even after a lot of adjustments.
If I can ask you, which one is the best from that monitors in description? Because I want to buy some of them, but dont know which one. I want 21:9, QHD, minimum 144hz and lower price like 400€. And very nice videos
hey, among asus tuf VG34VQL1B, MSI MAG342CQR and AOC CU34G2X, which one do you think is the best one in terms of picture quality , screen quality build quality and most importantly colour difference .. it’s not for gaming only productivity
You mention the Aoc CU34G2X/BK 34". Just as a gamer that doesnt want to spend a fortune on a new screen, I was considering this. Would you take the Asus Tuf over the Aoc ? Or are they equal in your opinion ?
how does this compare to the Asus TUF VG34VQL3A as I just purchased the VQL3A from Best Buy here in Canada for $380 CDN. Did i make the right choice ??
awesome review man, I do not know if you can answer it, here in Spain, I have the possibility of msi Optix MAG342CQRV 34 in about € 350 plus taxes and this asus in € 500 plus taxes you think for the price is better go for msi? or is this monitor worth the extra € 150?
@@1UpNerdcore I'd be sold on it if wasn't for the red/green ghosting in dark scenes I keep hearing about. I play horror games, and working on one. It's really the only issue that's had me hesitant about getting the Asus Tuf.
looking into buying an ultrawide but i currently have a very small desk, how deep do you recommend a desk to be for a comfortable viewing experience with a monitor like this? thanks
Hi...how come this monitor seems "better" than LG 34GN850-B or Alienware AW3420DW? Do you think it is cuz LG(GSync compatible) and Alien(GSync module)? Resolution is the same...but Refresh rate seems a little bit higher and of course it looks that HDR do to the higher brightness should be better(even if none of them have dimming zones) and it is not all about that :-) I had PG35VQ but sadly fans were too noisy so i returned that and looking for something without with with better HDR...
Extremely similar specs like you said. The MSI has a 1000R curve though with a 200+ dollar higher price tag. I’d go with the TUF and save money unless you really want the 1000R curve.
If the flickering issue is resolved with the G7 I’d say the G7 is better. I’ve heard a mixed bag on the firmware fixing it though

Is there any color artifact in the others vá ultrawides like this one have? Im looking for this one but This colors in motion are terríble. I would like to know If its Just this model or its a va problema
Theres a new samung monitor coming out called the samsung s65u ultrawide curved monitor at 1000r, would you be ableto take a look at that and see if it could overclock it from 100hz to 144hz? Thanks in advance!
I can’t find anything saying you can over lock it and if you can it would be to 120 at most. The bigger downside is the brightness is still low on this like the G5 and it has a 5ms response time.
@@1UpNerdcore Oh okay, I guess you’re right as the DP port is limited to 1.2 so if the overclocking was possible, like you said 120hz would probably be maxed. I might lean towards the G5, if I can’t get my hands on the recent ASUS 34’’ monitor you just reviewed, G5 is great, except it’s designs quite noisy for my liking. Thanks!
Set monitor to 120hz and turn variable OD to 40. You’re welcome. I wish this wasn’t the fix but it’s the only fix. He really fails to mention this huge issue.
Hello, good with everyone. I have a series of questions regarding this monitor and I hope you can help me, if someone has it and gives me a much better experience of use. I plan to use the monitor for editing videos, photos, creating animations and illustrations and some games (which with the features it has it looks quite promising) and also multimedia consumption such as watching videos, series and movies. Do you recommend this monitor for general editing? How does the screen look? How about your viewing angles? Do you have screen bleeding/light flashing? Thank you very much, I hope you can answer me, it would help me a lot.
Color saturation, also known as chroma, is a measure of how intense or pure a color appears to the viewer. It's often used by artists and photographers to describe color, along with hue and lightness.
Have you seen black smearing when white text on black background dissapears when scrolling page up/down (white text on black/dark background)? Wonna get this monitor but I can't find the answer anywhere
hi sir, there is to much different model and idk wich one i should choose. could u tell me wich monitor is the best in the same spec than this one for a same price categorie? (i mean 165hz ultrawilde curved 34" etc) i want to use a monitor for gaming and unreal engine. thanks for u're time and sry for my english i'm french
That halo footage, is that with motion blur disabled? (don't know if thats an option in Halo or not) Thinking of this monitor but if thats the level of smearing this thing gets I couldn't do it.

Reposted from another video's comment:
I just got this monitor. Have been playing around with it for 3 days now to see if it really has issues worth sending back. I have noticed the red/green black smear issue at 144/165hz and higher overdrive settings. My final settings that I have no issues with:
Turn off all monitor processing features (ELMB, ASCR, blue light filter, eco mode, shadow boost)
Overdrive = 20
Enable 10 bit color (Nvidia control panel, use Nvidia Color Settings - 10pbc-32bit-output RGB) (for HDR to work right)
Refresh rate 120hz + gsync fullscreen only
Global frame cap 115fps (nvidia control panel), set individual games to 110 in game FPS limit if possible
I also calibrated mine with DisplayCAL and an i1 displaypro calibrator:
Settings (top): sRGB
Spectral correction : LCD PFS Phosphor WLED Family
Whitepoint: (auto filled when selecting sRGB) Chromacity .3127x .3290y

I was thinking of getting the 3840x1600 38" but tested one for a week and it's a bit too big and have to move my head to look corner to corner so will probably just get a new 34"
not that I really need one, but planning to upgrade my GPU and could use the extra refresh rate, probably better colors and better SW features being newer ;o]
So, you have reviewed so many different ultra wide monitors till now. But which one is the "best" of them? I know it depends on what you need and everybody has a different opinion but out of your monitors, which is the best price-performance monitor? My budget is between 500-600€.
Would be very nice if you or someone out of your community could help me out! Thanks !
I would personally choose this one first then AOC or MSI and G5 last
Here for the early bird 360p curse!
very very helpful, thanks
Coming across a lot of review videos for ultrawide monitors. I'm looking between this Tuf monitor and the LG 34GP83A-B 34, the LG being about 300 dollars more. In your opinion is the LG worth the 300 more or would this Tuf be enough for gaming games like FFXIV, stardew, some mainstream games and also streaming?
This will be plenty 👍🏻
Nice review! Had the g5 34inch and send it back, waiting for this baby atm 👍
What made you send it back? I am looking into buying it right now. Should I change my mind?
@@ahsannauman8401 No the Samsung is a perfekt Monitor. My one had a very bad coilwhine tho.... i heard about lots of ppl with the same problem...
@@ahsannauman8401 Its only when the Monitor is off, the little blue led at the bottom makes this very loud coil whine. If you dont have any problems with that go with the Samsung
@@professorb8583 does this happen even if the monitor is unplugged? Weird that I haven’t read anywhere about this lol.
@@ahsannauman8401 No, Happens when the Monitor is plugged in. I am from Germany i read about it in german reviews... try youre luck many poeple didnt have the problem
Thank you for the detailed video. Do you have any video walking through all of your preferred settings for this monitor?
I don’t for this one unfortunately
How would you compare this to the Acer XZ321QU? Would this be a worthwhile upgrade? I just bought the new G6 but returned it because it was super blurry, even after a lot of adjustments.
If I can ask you, which one is the best from that monitors in description? Because I want to buy some of them, but dont know which one. I want 21:9, QHD, minimum 144hz and lower price like 400€. And very nice videos
Color response time this one is one of the best 👍🏻 The AOC is good also. Samsung G5 takes more to calibrate and has more ghosting
Steven what is the wallpaper name for the one where the spaceman is swimming in the galaxy styled water? Super DOPE.

hey, among asus tuf VG34VQL1B, MSI MAG342CQR and AOC CU34G2X, which one do you think is the best one in terms of picture quality , screen quality build quality and most importantly colour difference .. it’s not for gaming only productivity
TUF then MSI and finally AOC. Small margins of difference but the TUF has way better nits which puts it ahead of the others
I like monitors with powercord only other brands still have big power bricks
I'm considering this Asus monitor. I wish you reviewed the Dell S3422DWG as well.
Those specs are good, I almost reviewed it but ended up not having time.
This monitor is like a dream… but I can’t find any resellers! Lmao
Congrats on the video, really helpful. Can you tell us if there's a embedded crosshair option?
Great video, find it really helpful to decide.
Thank you for the video!
I’m currently undecided between MSI MAG342CQR (144hz) and TUF VG34VQL1B.
Wich one would you pick? and why?
TUF. Extra USB ports and much higher nits than MSI
@@1UpNerdcore would you pick the TUF over the Gigabyte G34WQC too?
I am still waiting for this monitor to restick on Amazon or Best buy since shipping to Hawaii is so high on other websites.
Good Ole Hawaii. Used to live there.
@@jayt4225 Yup. It has its benefits but also its downsides.
@@brendenpeters2843 for sure. Had an amazing time there. What island do you live on? I lived on the big island.
@@jayt4225 I am on ohau but have family on the Big Island
i think the monitor you showed before this one i would prefer
The msi one?
You mention the Aoc CU34G2X/BK 34". Just as a gamer that doesnt want to spend a fortune on a new screen, I was considering this. Would you take the Asus Tuf over the Aoc ? Or are they equal in your opinion ?
I’d take TUF over the AOC but on a budget the AOC is really close to the TUF and almost 200 dollars cheaper
Are this one and 30" version the same? I am looking into buying 30" one
what do you think ASRock PG34WQ15R3A or ASUS TUF VG34VQL1B better? Same price in my country..
I haven’t used the asrock so I can’t speak on it
how does this compare to the Asus TUF VG34VQL3A as I just purchased the VQL3A from Best Buy here in Canada for $380 CDN. Did i make the right choice ??
awesome review man, I do not know if you can answer it, here in Spain, I have the possibility of msi Optix MAG342CQRV 34 in about € 350 plus taxes and this asus in € 500 plus taxes you think for the price is better go for msi? or is this monitor worth the extra € 150?
MSI is plenty good so I’d save the money
I'm torn between the ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B 34" and the Gigabyte G34WQC 34". Which one would you suggest?
I haven’t used the gigabyte but spec wise I’d take the TUF
@@1UpNerdcore Thanks for the reply man! Keep up the good work.
@@1UpNerdcore I'd be sold on it if wasn't for the red/green ghosting in dark scenes I keep hearing about. I play horror games, and working on one.
It's really the only issue that's had me hesitant about getting the Asus Tuf.
Should I get this over the monoprice dark matter 34? Also, does this support 10-bit color and does the dark matter have local dimming?
Yes and yes, dark matter doesn’t have local dimming
@@1UpNerdcore Thank you man! You are the most helpful RUclipsr for finding the best monitors for one's need. Also, subbed!
looking into buying an ultrawide but i currently have a very small desk, how deep do you recommend a desk to be for a comfortable viewing experience with a monitor like this?
thanks
At least 2 ft
Hi...how come this monitor seems "better" than LG 34GN850-B or Alienware AW3420DW? Do you think it is cuz LG(GSync compatible) and Alien(GSync module)?
Resolution is the same...but Refresh rate seems a little bit higher and of course it looks that HDR do to the higher brightness should be better(even if none of them have dimming zones) and it is not all about that :-)
I had PG35VQ but sadly fans were too noisy so i returned that and looking for something without with with better HDR...
1:14 plase wallpaper 🙏🏻
Is this compatible with macbook pro? I'm thinking about getting this for work and some gaming.
Lets Goooooo !!!
I use this montior with my ps4 and it still looks amazing at 60hz
How does this compare to the MSI Artymis 343CQR ? The MSI is a new one and it has extremely similar specs.
Extremely similar specs like you said. The MSI has a 1000R curve though with a 200+ dollar higher price tag. I’d go with the TUF and save money unless you really want the 1000R curve.
@@1UpNerdcore in the UK they're both £600
Thanks for the review man! How does it compare with samsung's G7?
If the flickering issue is resolved with the G7 I’d say the G7 is better. I’ve heard a mixed bag on the firmware fixing it though
Is there any color artifact in the others vá ultrawides like this one have? Im looking for this one but This colors in motion are terríble. I would like to know If its Just this model or its a va problema
If you’re noticing it with other ultrawide VA panels you’ll notice it here also. I’m hoping to try more ips ultrawides out for review soon
Would you recommend this monitor to use with consoles, i know the image would be stretched but i like the immersion of ultrawide monitors?
Yea it’ll work 👍🏻
@@1UpNerdcore do you know if i can get 120fps on 1440p on xbox series x?
Theres a new samung monitor coming out called the samsung s65u ultrawide curved monitor at 1000r, would you be ableto take a look at that and see if it could overclock it from 100hz to 144hz?
Thanks in advance!
I can’t find anything saying you can over lock it and if you can it would be to 120 at most. The bigger downside is the brightness is still low on this like the G5 and it has a 5ms response time.
@@1UpNerdcore Oh okay, I guess you’re right as the DP port is limited to 1.2 so if the overclocking was possible, like you said 120hz would probably be maxed.
I might lean towards the G5, if I can’t get my hands on the recent ASUS 34’’ monitor you just reviewed, G5 is great, except it’s designs quite noisy for my liking.
Thanks!
I'm using 3090 right now and planning to buy this monitor, does that mean I can only get 144hz instead of 165hz because I'm not using AMD Gpu right???
Where díd you downloaded those lives wallpapers?
Wallpaper engine app off Steam
Got the monitor this week. The ghosting in dark scenes is really, really bad! It also affects videos, not only gaming. Do not buy it!
Set monitor to 120hz and turn variable OD to 40. You’re welcome.
I wish this wasn’t the fix but it’s the only fix. He really fails to mention this huge issue.
Hello, good with everyone. I have a series of questions regarding this monitor and I hope you can help me, if someone has it and gives me a much better experience of use.
I plan to use the monitor for editing videos, photos, creating animations and illustrations and some games (which with the features it has it looks quite promising) and also multimedia consumption such as watching videos, series and movies.
Do you recommend this monitor for general editing?
How does the screen look?
How about your viewing angles?
Do you have screen bleeding/light flashing?
Thank you very much, I hope you can answer me, it would help me a lot.
Which monitor would line up evenly with this one one each side to create a triple monitor display set up?
i have that monitor and love it.
I have one question under color we have something which called Saturation what is that.?
Color saturation, also known as chroma, is a measure of how intense or pure a color appears to the viewer. It's often used by artists and photographers to describe color, along with hue and lightness.
@@1UpNerdcore should I leave it at 50.?
Have you seen black smearing when white text on black background dissapears when scrolling page up/down (white text on black/dark background)? Wonna get this monitor but I can't find the answer anywhere
hi sir, there is to much different model and idk wich one i should choose. could u tell me wich monitor is the best in the same spec than this one for a same price categorie? (i mean 165hz ultrawilde curved 34" etc) i want to use a monitor for gaming and unreal engine. thanks for u're time and sry for my english i'm french
Glossy finish??? the description says matte finish..... I hope it's matte, just ordered it.....
It’s a matte finish or you ordered a different version
@@1UpNerdcore I've ordered the matte finish, but in this video at 0:56 you say glossy finish 🤔
Have you seen black smearing bad enough to wipe out white text?
Not personally no
I can't see the setting, the item in the initial panel is disabled... Why?
I have a question about this monitor right out the box when i set it up the colors seem very dim idk why what can i do to fix it ?
cant find any review on a ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL3A 34inch
same its just this with a less brighter panel, better colours
and lower response time GTG
so does this monitor have built in speakers?
I saw you were only getting 144hz on Amazon they advertise it goes to 165 is that wrong?
Hello.. isn't it 165hz? I noticed it shows 144hz in the osd menu when you were changing settings in there..
Yes, you have to overclock it for the 165 if I remember correctly
That halo footage, is that with motion blur disabled? (don't know if thats an option in Halo or not) Thinking of this monitor but if thats the level of smearing this thing gets I couldn't do it.
I believe that was with motion blur on
Can i ask, where did you download those amazing colourful desktop animations? 😍
Awesome review, you're the reason im buying this monitor! ❤
It’s the wallpaper engine app off Steam 👍🏻
@@1UpNerdcore thanks a bunch man 💪
I notice ghosting quite a bit in most of my games with this monitor, im personally thinkinga bout returning it and getting an IPS panel instead.
Try adjusting the overdrive setting
@@1UpNerdcore I have, and it honestly seems to make it worst showing more of the red and green smear
The curve is really dramatic. How does that work for a daily work computer?
1000R curve would be more dramatic. This is fine and worlds great as a daily computer.
@@1UpNerdcore Thanks looking at this or a LG-34GP950G or a 34GP83A-B that someone else mentioned was comparable but you haven't reviewed I guess.
is there an option to assign a hotkey through gamevisual to switch the inputs?
I'm getting screen flickering with g-sync enabled on CoD cold war and Apex, any fix for this? Also could you please list your user settings?
I have the same monitor and so far no fix.
How much bit does this monitor have?
@@shanemoritz7416 how much bit does this monitor have?
Does this monitor support G-sync? I have a 3070 so I want to make sure it’s compatible.
Do you think this monitor will go will with the PS5? 😀
Picture in Picture wokring with ipad or with macbook ?
this monitor Gigabyte G34WQC or tuf VG34VQL1B, really ghosting bad for this monitor ?
I haven’t tried the gigabyte monitor but specs are very similar. This has higher nits though. I’d take TUF based off specs.
is this monitor mountable. just want to make sure before purchasing it
Help pls, when he opens settings , up right it says '" 144 hz "', mine is set at 60 i don't know how to activate pls
You using a DP cable?
Hallo wo finde ich den deine tollen desktop bilder beweglich danke
its worth it to buy the LG ultra gear nanocell over this one, considering the LG is 350 dollars expensive ?
I like IPS panels but not 350 dollars more but the fact that it’s 1ms GtG and not MPRT would be worth it in my opinion over the TUF
@@1UpNerdcore i get the asus, thanks
Good day, may i ask what live wallpapers/program you are using?

What is the game at 11:45?
how about the black smearing? why isnt there a budget ultrawide curved ips gaming monitor :(
Minimal to no black smearing here. Still one of the best VA panel budget ultrawides
@@1UpNerdcore but only 100hz 😪 i come from 165hz 1440p ips 27 inch. I think i will really feel that.
@@1UpNerdcore thank you for fast reaction btw.
Please how does it compare to this one ASUS ROG TUF Curved VG35VQ?? I wanna get this second hand really good deal
I haven’t used that other monitor so I can speak on it unfortunately. This one is really good though
@@1UpNerdcore and what about this one compared to the oac which one would you go for?? I'm stucked between these two
The TUF
@@1UpNerdcore yeah but I'm no longer gonna get it since I'm gonna hook it up with xbox one x... So I guess I have to get a TV instead so do you know what will happen if I connect xbox one x to an 2.1 hdmi tv??
