ASUS TUF - VG34VQL1B

If it doesn't have to be curved, I would go for the MSI MAG401QR instead. I have both an Asus VA 34inch ultrawide and that IPS and I prefer flat screens.

https://a.co/d/0Z9AcMB Just get this one you’ll thank me even though it’s more dough $$ Or https://a.co/d/aApHOvH <=== this one a bit better if you don’t mind a little more dough it’ll be worth it. Or neither! It’s your money dude! Good luck 👍 hope that helped a little bit!

34" ASUS TUF VG34VQL1B - 3440x1440 (WQHD) - 165Hz - VA - Curved this was the one, rly happy with it for gaming, not noticed anything to pick on and loving the HDR

Im rly happy but i mainly play mmorpgs, tho the few fps shooters i tried was fine. Couldnt tell any issues. Tho i wish i had gone oled with how durable it is n better image.

R u also getting it? Its imo one of the better midrangers, ive always prefered a good VA for better blacks

Idd, hopefully ull b happy! Its good value n performance

I've done a quick search, because these monitors also once was in my radar for a while.. here's what I can conclude: -All of them comes with great contrast ratio of 4000:1 -VG34VQ3B DON'T have hdr10, 400nits, 180hz, 1ms MPRT -VG34VQL1B got the highest brightness at 550nits, hdr10, 165hz, 1ms MPRT -VG34VQL3A is samsung va, good 1ms GtG, 400nits, hdr10, 165hz (oc 180hz)

There will be lots of $$ recommendations but to provide a budget alternative… the Asus TUF VG34VQL1B is $369 (often on sale for sub-$300). 34” VA panel (165hz) 1440p resolution with HDR400 certification and FreeSync Premium. I currently use it with my M2 MacBook Air but the text is crisp, it’s a nice glossy panel with some great features and once I tweaked the calibration the blacks can get pretty deep!

With the games you play I would go Oled. It will look insanely better. Burn in is still a thing, but takes several years and thousands of hours to happen you can avoid it by putting on stringent screen savers. However, OLED is expensive. Personally, I just landed on a ASUS TUF VG34VQL1B. 34” 165hz 1440 Ultrawide. It’s a VA panels but looks damn good for 1/4 of the price compared to OLED. I am saying this as an avid OKED fan with a LG 65” OLED TV (B7A). The HDR is pretty damn good and the only problem I notice is VRR flicker in dark motion scenes, but not actual gameplay. Ultrawide is also just cool AF! Best of luck to you!

I tried the Asus and it had laughably bad blacks. Sitting next to my 27in Asus tuf IPS, it looked awful. I would go with the Samsung, haven’t tried it but it has to better than the Asus. I ended up trying the new Alienware 34in VA and it matches my ips with color and blacks which I’m most concerned about.

I have an asus vg34 that I got for around that price. I returned the msi mag it was absolute trash.

I bought Asus for $269 and have zero issues with it. Great gaming monitor for the price.

I bough one of the asus tuf 34 monitors with va panel. Its so great, never go back to ips on main screen. Rn i have 2 panels in build one ips another va, i dont see a difference between them in colors etc

I have a Asus Tuff Gaming 34” and it’s perfect for my Mac. I liked the one for home so much, I bought one for work.
