ASUS TUF - VG34VQL1B

Seems about the same, rtings tested an older version and had the typical VA performance: [https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/tuf-gaming-vg34vql1b](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/tuf-gaming-vg34vql1b)

Depends on what you’re looking for- this is a VA panel so compared to your s2721DGF it’ll have deeper blacks producing better contrast, but has slow gray-to-gray transitions resulting in dark smearing on moving objects. Some people don’t seem to mind, but for me it‘s a deal killer. Good IPS panels have dropped in price these past few years, so you could get something similar to your current one for \~$150 or less. If you want a noticeable upgrade, I’d step up to mini-LED or OLED.

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!

I have been using this one for almost 2 years, love it no complaint’s. ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B 34" 21:9 UWQHD 165Hz Curved VA HDR LED Gaming Monitor with FreeSync

I’ve been using an ASUS TUF VG34VQL1B 34" ultra wide for MSFS and have loved it. I also do other things on my pc that it helps with as well. Though the one I mentioned is LCD, not oled.

No problem, always invest into something you do often. I picked up mine for around $300USD because it was open box at microcenter. But definitely look into curved ultrawides, perhaps a lower refresh rate to fit your budget and even look at some in person, they’re a game changer!

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.

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

I have this, and it's been really good so far. Out of all the sub 300-350 34' uw, this is the best I'd say, even better than the gigabyte one. Ofc you're not gonna get oled in this price range, so if you're like me who wants a 34uw dub 300, get this. Got it last year for 235 from microcenter with a $35 2 year extended warranty, so the price seems standard for this

my Monitor nerd review: \-Pretty good monitor for a VA panel \-Doesnt have massive brightness issues like the samsung VA ultra/superultrawides \-pretty good deal for $260 \-if you've never used a curved monitor visit a best buy or something and see if its for you, they are "different" \-for gaming OLED is significantly better as its performance in darkness/blacks is a universe better, but if you dont play those kinds of games then it'll be fine. \-if you decide on another monitor dont go super ultrawide unless you are a real enthusiast, regular ultrawide is as wide as you really want to wide, most games dont properly support super \-iirc adaptive sync is a tiny bit iffy on these monitors and can cause very light flickering in certain situations that are 99.99% almost always on loading screens when the "framerate" is super unstable

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

I thought I could handle the smearing on VA until I actually owned one. The first time I saw it in a dark game scene I actually said “eww what the fuck” out loud. I’m sure some panels are better about it than others and mine was cheap, but I agree with your assessment. Only caveat to your recommendations is OLED is amazing for pure gaming but not my choice for mixed productivity work because you can only do so much to eliminate text fringing.
