ASUS TUF - VG34VQL3A

Ghosting, low brightness, poor colour. Pretty good bang for buck a couple years ago but not anymore eh. I did an incremental upgrade to ASUS TUF VG34VQL3A and sold my G5, so worthwhile for all the above factors

I still dont understand why VG34VQL3A more expensive than VG34VQ3B when 3B is the newer model. Better stand matters that so much?

Same with VG34VQL3A.

I was in the same boat and ordered both. Ive got the asus VG34VQL3A VA right in front of me playing RDR2 and a Dell Alienware AW3423DWF OLED watching Stream. My 34GN850P-B IPS will arive tomorrow. Already got one but it was DOA. I can tell you 2 things about the OLED and VA: 1. The VA has terrible VRR Flicker and I had to disable it because it gave me headaches. Bright areas always flicker regardless of FPS. It flickers with 40 and with 140. Common problem with this Panel but everything else is superb for VA. You have to sit straight in front of it for having its color shine bright. I like this one a lot but the VRR sucks ass. 2. The OLED has terrible fringing on text. Its barely noticable on white text with bright background but white text on black background is a pain to read. VRR flicker is not that bad and limited to grey-ish areas when running below 57fps. Will not keep it since the text fringing is driving me nuts. Feel free to AMA

I just bought the Asus Tuf [VG34VQL3A](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7BBG2QB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) and I couldn't be happier. Very little if any ghosting that I personally notice on the ufo test with overdrive set to 1.

I eventually went with the 3A. It is brighter than stated 400 nits—the 1B is only about 10% brighter. The 3A has better color, and the option for a higher refresh rate. I forgot to measure the contrast, but I suspect it is at least as good as the 1B, which is actually around 4500:1 according to RTINGS. In a dark room, I find the display brightness to be adequate. Anecdotally, the smearing is minimal, and also seems superior to the 1B.

I suggest you give the newer VA a try. I was an IPS stan for a long time, it started because of how bad the TN panels were back in 2015 or so. I wanted to get an ultrawide, and I wasn't sure if I was gonna like it, so I went with a VA instead of Oled. This was a year ago. The VA panel that I got turned out to be really good. Much better in color and blacks than my aging IPS. Now I'm rocking double ultrawide, Oled as my main, and the VA as my 2nd. My Oled is the Alienware AW3425DW. I got it recently thanks to prime day. My VA is the Asus Tuf VG34VQL3A. My first VA and my first ultrawide because I didn't want to pay for an Oled when I wasn't sure about ultrawide yet. My aging IPS is the Acer Predator XB271HU. It was top of the line back then. Used it for more than a decade and it's still solid for what it is. Gave it to my cousin as an upgrade from his 144hz TN.

I use it for everything—gaming, light 3D modeling, and video editing. It’s only 1440p but runs at 165Hz (the newer version is 180Hz now). The only downside for me is that it’s not OLED, so I’ll probably upgrade at some point. [Link](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7BBG2QB?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4&th=1)

I added a link in my first comment for Amazon. It’s the Asus TUF gaming 34” monitor. (VG34VQL3A) it’s just under $400 USD so not sure on the conversion to €’s but it should be around your budget I’d assume

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

This one was one of my few choices, but i chose Asus Tuf VG34VQL3A. 300cdm on msi is too low for me.

Dunno, i just ordered it xd

So far great) vrr works great, oc'ed it to 165hz, good colors without calibration.

There’s a 180hz version on Amazon of the ASUS with 125% srgb gamut specifically that one cause there’s two different versions with 180hz and it’s $349 34 inch. Used to sell these at Best Buy when I worked there and owned it personally and was awesome. I’d get that and not either of these just a thought. Hope that helps! 🙏 Model# VG34VQL3A

1500r curve just a heads up though just fyi

It’s right around the same price point in the pics with better specs and I owned it personally and worked at Best Buy and tested most of these monitors for customers. Was only a suggestion. I loved mine just wanted see if I could help. I had noticed a lot of returns for Samsung monitors with dead pixel issues and it’s only about $50 more for the best quality version of that monitor model. Both those are perfectly fine just figured I’d throw that idea in there and try help you squeeze every penny out of what you’re paying for it. Again both are totally fine options at that price just a suggestion that’s all.

Infelizmente, no brasil não existe esse produto nessa faixa de preço, o painel IPS é melhor que o VA mas muito mais caro, OLED então é ridículo. Minhas opções eram, Samsung, LG, whitelabel e DELL. Samsung: Problemas crônicos no monitor, e muitos relatos da samsung não honrando a garantia por ser um produto “importado”, uma bomba relógio que eu queria estar longe. LG: O preço é muito atrativo, mas vendo reviews, a cor deixou muito a decepcionar, e os reflexos no monitor também eram gigantes, faltou um pouco de atenção a alguns detalhes, que eu, como designer, não ficaria satisfeito em usar. Whitelabel: Não quero depender da sorte de pegar um bom monitor que talvez tenha peças ou sequer assistência no brasil depois que a garantia acabar, então fora de cogitação. Dell: Opções boas, mas fora do meu orçamento, vi que em promos, era possível conseguir um bom monitor a um preço ok, mas não queria esperar. Admito que fiquei com receio de comprar um painel VA, mas pelo jeito, era minha única opção. Procurando reviews, encontrei um desse monitor da asus, sabia que eles faziam bons monitores, mas não são muito falados. Mas as especificações são: Ultrawide 34’’, 165hz (180hz com overclock no menu do monitor), sRGB e HDR, porém com o painel VA. Pois bem, comprei, chegou essa jamanta que faz meu samsung de 21’ parecer meu tablet de 13’. O monitor é bom, tem um DPI bom, a resposta de cores é excelente no modo RGB, e não sofri nada com ghosting e outros pontos que muitos reclamam do painel VA. O maior ponto negativo que encontrei no monitor é o HDR, não sei se é por que eu não sei configurar isso, mas não ficou muito legal jogando e/ou consumindo mídia. Outro ponto é que se você usa o monitor para ver filmes e afins, você vai “sofrer” um pouco com as barras pretas laterais na grande maioria dos filmes, exceto aqueles que foram gravados em IMAX, que tem uma proporção mais larga, fica muito bom assistir. A imersão nos jogos é excelente, inclusive, não tive problemas com compatibilidade em nenhum jogo até o momento. Um ponto importante é que os jogos são mais pesados pela quantidade elevada de pixels na tela, a minha 4060 tá sofrendo pra colocar os jogos em 180hz, mas vale a pena pela qualidade e responsividade, ainda mais saindo de um 60hz de 12 anos. Trabalhar em um ultrawide é o que provavelmente vai fazer eu nunca trocar de proporção de novo, ter espaço pra colocar um monte de menus, uma timeline de edição enorme, poder colocar 2 aplicativos na mesma tela e não sentir falta de espaço, é difícil pensar em voltar atrás. É isso, recomendo demais, o monitor tá até mais barato que quando comprei, 2.700 na loja que explode (não sei se posso colocar links aqui).

Outro ponto muito legal que esqueci de comentar. O monitor tem som, não é o melhor som do mundo, mas dá pro gasto pra ver uma série relaxado na cadeira/cama.

Here is the list na pinagpipilian ko before: **VA Monitors(low/mid tier - might have smearing or ghosting issue):** AOC CU34G2XP 34" 240hz - 20k+ , na try ko yung 32" so got good expectation sa 34" model. Gigabyte GP-G34WQC-A-AP 144hz - 16k+ , this is probably the cheapest on my list, though bad yung reviews. Asus TUF Gaming VG34VQL3A 34" -22k-26k - since im using Asus laptop, i am considering this. meron pa syang isang model, though i dont really know the main difference. both are 180z. good review from YT. **OLED Monitors(high ends - no smearing/ghosting but possibility of burn-in):** Acer Predator X34 X 34" OLED - sub 50k, gaming monitor aesthetics, 240hz.. so for 240hz OLED its already cheap. AOC Argon Pro AG346UCD QD-OLED 34" - 50k+ , 175hz OLED.. just middle ground from acer and LG. LG UltraGear 34GS95QE-B OLED 34" WQHD - 60k+, the most expensive on my list, this is the one i consider since it looks non-gamery. though it lacks some feature for its price. there is also Asus ROG, which i didnt consider since its 80k+ which is out of my budget. so as you can see, im already considering OLED(rabbit decision hole hahaha), I have enough fund to stretch to even buy the 80k ROG but im not willing to.. so nung lumabas yung samsung odyssey g8 34" OLED 175hz sa L store na 60% off(37k sale price, 35k using voucher and free shipping, 75k-79k original price).. then napa step back ako.. its best of both world na.. mid price from 20-70k budget, while getting all the benefits of a high end OLED. though not sure if it still exists, since nung binalikan ko yung product page,. not found na. https://preview.redd.it/yib86827i76f1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59e94803b864eb8cdfd4028e8cff2e490d81e879

The 3A has better response times also, had the monitor for about 5 months now and it was built the same month I bought it. The 3A is 1ms response time vs 5ms, it has 8+2bit color and is really bright already. The flickering only happens when I decide to close a game and it is only for a split second. If you don't have YouTube open it won't happen at all. Paid $250 with tax included at a store on Black Friday. So far it is amazing because I went from a 40inch 60mhz screen to a 34inch Ultra wide 180mhz screen. Took a little while to get use to the smaller screen but my eyes don't hurt after hours of game play thanks to the 180mhz (OC'd) screen. Hope this helps someone. PC: Win 11 Asus B650-E WIFI TUF Water Cooled 7800x3d @ 5.2mhz (max temps. 39c water/ 72c core) Radeon 7900xt @ 2900mhz/ 2600mhz 1050mv Fast Timing 32gb DDR5 G.Skill CL32 PCI 5.0 2TB M.2 / PCI 4.0 1TB M.2

Just got this. Amazing monitor. There's an "overclock" option in the OSD menu, which the OS picks up as native 180hz support, no need to create a custom resolution. Haven't tried overclocking via custom resolution. I want to mention g-sync flicker as I was concerned about this since it's a VA panel. The first one I bought had really bad flickering during loading scenes mostly but also a bit during gameplay. I exchanged it for a different one and I can't see any flicker at all, even during loading scenes! The color, brightness, and motion clarity is as great as my new MSI IPS panel. Highly recommended for an inexpensive ultra wide. 95% as good as OLED at 1/3 the cost.

VG34VQL3A. Love it after 4 months.

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)

The DWF is good but I’m not a fan of QD OLED turning magenta in the light. I would go for the 34” LG OLED and just get used to the curve I’m using the new Asus tuf 34” 180hz VA and it’s very good for the price. But still not nearly as good as an OLED. Not the best response time and the black levels are much better than an ips but still not at OLED level. I love 21:9. Once I step away from it I always crave it again.

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've had both, go LG 100%. LG IPS panels are top of the line. ASUS TUF is not even Asus's top of the line. It smears and looks gross to me. Waste of money.

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've recently been using an ASUS

Yes there is a difference, but as it is very little curved, once you get used to it it is very comfortable. Personally I use it for gaming, for the internet and for photo processing, and it is perfect for everything. But as I said before, more curved I think it would be uncomfortable or even unusable for certain uses.

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.
