GIGABYTE - M34WQ

Also went with this one, it's worth it.

I picked the flat Gigabyte M34WQ

Gigabyte m34wq

I like the m34wq more personally but it’s such a good monitor. OP, please don’t listen to anything else. I spent months researching

It really is a beast !!

100% agreed. I spent a lot of time looking and then and am very satisfied

Agreed. It takes me awhile to settle on a monitor to buy but I’m so happy I got it

Get the one I suggested. You’ll like the IPS panel more

Be aware that Gigabyte's curved G34 has a VA matrix, not IPS. If you need a fast screen without ghosting, consider M34 instead, but this one isn't curved but it's IPS. Here are some details on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/s/jlUuDJ5u7v

For ips under 400$ gigabyte m34wq, for VA - Dell S3422DWG.

Have a M34wq from gigabyte it’s work fine. It s just a 1440p but its nice and run smooth with 4080

This is the one I’d also recommend. Very good for productivity work too.

Hello u/ozzytheasian, just got this monitor but I noticed a subtle ticking noise when it's on standby ([described here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/1h91jw5/gigabyte_m34wq_ticking_on_standby/)), do you notice it too?

Hello u/MoistenedCarrot , just got this monitor (not the curved one but M34WQ) but I noticed a subtle ticking noise when it's on standby ([described here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/1h91jw5/gigabyte_m34wq_ticking_on_standby/)), do you notice it too?

This is what I went with, also for doing coding as well as gaming. I love it. The KVM feature is really nice and it looks awesome.

I ended up going with the Gigabyte. Done a lot of review hopping and most made it clear that IPS over VA is a no brainer for gaming. For productivity I'm not worried about going flat over curved as the curve I have at the minute is 1800R so it's barely curved as it is. In a perfect world I would have gone for an OLED but long days of browser tabs and spreadsheets make me a prime candidate for burn in.

No problem, if you're around UK/EU Amazon have a good discount on it. Overclockers or Scan in UK too.

If you don't need a curve try the M34WQ. IPS, not curved, 144 Hz, fairly good price here in Canada. I work from home and gave my AW 3423DWF to my wife for gaming and such, but the M34WQ is honestly not bad. I definitely don't think the curve is needed at this size If the monitor is about 1 arm length away.

I just got a M34WQ and so far I've been very happy with it. Handles switching between the two very quickly, and automatically if one is turned off. It would be perfect if it was able to charge a laptop, but that's not so bad.

I have this and recommend as well. It’s great for productivity too.

Here are some options. I would suggest the m34wq since it’s such a good ips ultrawide for the price but.. no power over usb c, at least not enough for a laptop. I tried. It’s eol but it seems to still be in stock in the uk. You can check out the other monitors and see if they deliver what you want. IPs is the best option for work. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#r=344001440&sort=price&P=2&c0=di_usbc

It’s a Va monitor. Va has ghosting issues. Some people can stand it fine and others hate it to the core. If you don’t mind, that price is about right for Va ultrawide. On IPs ultrawides… the best one is now eol - m34wq. It was 350…. You might check for used. The other options are lg but they are as costly as oleds except during sales. There are some other companies out there which I don’t know the name of but I know they exist. Good luck.

Not so clear cut answer I’m afraid. Some people are ok with them, others can not stand it at all…. Some monitors are better than others but not enough reviews to see which is better. See if your country has m34wq, that was the best low cost IPs ultrawide but went eol. It’s still available in some countries near the old prices so see if you’re lucky. The only way to truly know is to look at it yourself. Check out rtings.com and monitors unboxed, they tend to have the best reviews for monitors.

M34wq is a solid low cost 1440p ultrawide. You should check the reviews on monitors unboxed on YouTube and rtings.com. If you want higher quality oled, the aw3423dwf is also a very good option. I got it recently when it went down to 699.99. I’m not sure what the price would be in uk or even if it’s available.

Va - cheap, they tend to be in the 200-400 price range. There are expensive ones though. IPs - more expensive, they tend to be in the 350+ price range. A good low cost IPs would be the m34wq. The more expensive are the lg nano ips though.. I’ve seen them at near m34wq prices during sales lately. -m34wq is a solid low cost IPs. Check reviews, they push this as a very good option. The other options would be the oled. The lowest price I’ve seen is the aw3423dwf at 679.99. It’s generally at 699.99 during sales. -aw3423dwf is also a very solid oled choice. Check reviews to confirm. I have both and they are very good.

Not sure where you got the info on the m34wq but that’s a solid low cost IPs monitor. It’s currently sold out in the us. It’s been sold out since last year. You should check out the reviews. Rtings.com and monitors unboxed has a review on the monitor.

I got it and it is a very good monitor for the price. It’s 350 usd and now it’s basically sold out everywhere. I really hope they continue to make it since it’s so good at such a low price. The other good ips monitors are around 600 except when it goes on sale and only recently they go as low as 330 on sale only.

Cool. I actually also have the M34WQ... or well, it's my gf's but I've used it a fair bit in testing between our main specs and a few things in between. It's actually slightly the better panel of the two overall, IPS vs VA (though some VA are very nearly as good, like the G34...) it's also flat screen, though not awful for gaming despite my preference for curved, and comes with a more useful stand that raises and tilts like the G34 but also swivels (though our one is now wall mounted) We got it and my gf's first PC, cos she liked mine so much lol, for some gaming, mostly indie/retro/emulation originally with a 3070 (not a good card for 3440x1440) then my 6800XT when I upgraded to the 7900XTX but mostly to do art and craft designs with. It's been solid for both uses. As for the VG34... I never read up on this specific model but afaik the Asus TUF line are generally solid and very decently priced. Going by previous TUF gear I'd guess it's on par at least but absolutely do some research on the usual PC HW sites as well as rtings.

M34wq is what you want

+1 have been using that screen to game/work on for about 1 1/2 years now. It's been great so far!

hp x34 got mine for 360 euros at the time very simillar to the m34wq from gigabyte both of them seem what you are looking for

I've played it on both my Gigabyte 34" screen, as well as my Samsung 49" display. It's absolutely glorious to look at.
