Xiaomi - Curved Gaming Monitor G34WQi

Bonjour, j’ai un soucis je l’ai acheté en pensant pour ajouter des bande noir de chaque côté pour y jouer sur xbox, hélas sa ne marche pas et je me retrouve avec un écran ultra étirer

Hey everyone! I’m currently rocking a Mac Mini M2 and using it with a 34” Xiaomi G34WQi ultrawide monitor (3440x1440, 180Hz, VA panel) (complete specs [here](https://www.mi.com/global/product/xiaomi-curved-gaming-monitor-g34wqi/specs/)). I’ve had it for almost a month now, and while the Mac Mini’s performance is fantastic and I have zero complaints about it, the monitor has been a bit of a letdown: * The 2K resolution on a 34” screen feels like a 1080p stretched onto a 27” monitor—just not sharp enough for my liking. * Being a VA panel, the viewing angles aren’t great, and the colors feel a bit washed out. I’ve tried tweaking the saturation and contrast, but everything still feels unnatural. I’m on the hunt for a versatile, budget-friendly monitor upgrade that can better complement my workflow. Here’s what I primarily use my setup for: * Office work and studying * Casual use (web browsing, streaming, etc.) * Occasional video editing on Final Cut Pro (one of the reasons I like ultrawides). I’m not looking to break the bank but am willing to invest in something that balances price and performance. Sharpness, color accuracy, and good viewing angles are high on my list. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

I regret buying it. HDR looks like shit, straight up deep fried. I could swear this thing has a 6 bit panel or some shit with the amount of banding it has. Also the amount of smearing is insane even by VA standards. Avoid like the plague

This thing however has a special kind of bad HDR. This monitor has wrong colors in HDR and horrible color banding. So it's not that it's mediocre, the displayed image is so much worse than SDR to the point that I'd call it defective. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of black smearing.

Me durò exactamente 14 meses, ayer aparecieron las legendarias rayas negras.

It has good value considering the price. It has VA panel which is known to have black smearing and flickering brightness when using VRR. Other than that, it looks good. Stand is adjustable, but I just used monitor mount which is 75x75 vesa. RGB is chef's kiss on top xD.

I found this monitor with 180Hz and 1ms (300 dollar ) , but on the internet there arent seems to be any reviews. I have only found some other 34" Xiaomi monitor which is slightly worse than the G34WQi. Anyone has it? Thoughts? **(late) EDIT:** Ended up buying it , replied to some questions bellow. To sum it up , its great , works as expected. Dark smearing is a thing with VA panels , this one is no exception, noticed it in a few FPS games (for me , these werent a deal breaker but if youre a competitive gamer , it might be). Other than that it works nicely. https://preview.redd.it/clm674a54had1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f169bcf9feff32ce9f04cd0a0f664848187b0dcf

Hi , When I opened your message it was weird to see that ive posted this 6 months ago (it felt like 3). So to the point, I had no major issue with the monitor so far ,(except once I thought that the monitor's audio jack is not working, it was too quiet, then someone in a comment told me I have to set volume on the monitor's settings for that, so thats fixed). Colors are nice , the only slight problem I have is ghosting but thats pretty standard for VA type monitors. Love the 180Hz and the 34inch screen , immersive. Im not aware of the current prices , but the time I bought it, it was probably the best value monitor. Make sure to use a proper PC tho, its 1440p 34inch after all.

Hey , It works as expected, nice colors , bright and wide display etc . Been 10 months since I bought it and nothing broke. Since its VA , scenes with lot of pitch black separett parts might prone to black smear (best example I can give you is minecraft's trees with "fast" graphics). Other thing is FreeSync, with a demanding game running in the background and something else open , it might flicker the screen's midle lightly (the brightnes) , havent figured out why it does that so I just keep it off. Other than those 2 thing , it works great.

I ended up buying it . I love it so far. The curve and the size are just immersive. 180hz as promised and 1440p. I found 2 minor issues tho. 1st is that there is a headphone connector on the bottom of the monitor, idk if just for me or if it's my headphone, but if u connect headphones to it the sound will be like 40% quieter than it should be. ( I use a normal headphone connected to pc bc of that) . 2nd is Premium Freesync , well it seems like that this issue has been fixed , but when freesync is enabled in the monitor menu option , sometimes u can see a light flickering in the middle of the monitor. It's not really noticeable, I only see it when the screen is like pitch black. (This happened like once an hour for like 20 to 30 second ). Internet suggested to just plug the hdmi cabel the other way (so the one end that was in the monitor goes into the pc and same thing backwards) and I guess it worked, didn't experience this light flickering since that. Colors and brightness have been good, and you can adjust them to your like if you need to. Overral ,if you are looking for an ultrawide monitor, I think this is the best, well priced one. I honestly have no idea why so little number of people talk about it. If you still wanna hear reviews , I suggest going to the Walmart website and searching for an xiaomi g34wqi, and you will find a ton amount of reviews (99% positive) .

I have one, around 3 to 4 yrs usage, still works great! Virtually used everyday

Could display port connection help with the smearing? I'm nearly about to buy this monitor as I've found Xiaomi have great build quality and longevity in most of their tech from owning their phones too Google TV devices and smart watches. I have dp 1.4 on my new pc build but this only supports upto 1.2 DP. So won't be experiencing the full 180hz. Can't find any alternative of the same size curved ultra wide screen, same resolution wqhd and with display port 1.4 instead.

I think you're mistaken Xiaomi's website does not state which display port type is supported, well not that I can find it. But Tom's hardware states it's display port 1.2 only https://www.tomshardware.com/monitors/gaming-monitors/xiaomi-g34wqi-34-inch-180-hz-gaming-monitor-review. Also I'm pretty sure increasing refresh rate helps reduce smearing not reducing refresh rate.

You're right I was looking at spec section where it doesn't mention the version of display port. So had to look elsewhere. Can you confirm it's 100% version 1.4 on yours somehow? If that is the case I'll be buying this screen asap!

Might be in device management. If you press windows + X then choose device management then check the version number for display port if it's listed maybe? Or windows + r and then type dxdiag that may also display some info. I'll check when I'm home how to definitely tell. Thank you for checking for me 😊 appreciate it

I ordered it! Can't wait for it to arrive. Now to hunt for a gpu. What GPU do you have with your set up?

you may try finding a “volume” setting for the headphone connector. i did that with mine and it blasted the hell out of my ears haha. they set it so low in its factory setting for some reason. hope it helps.

Mine just died today lol. Lasted 4 years+ . Gonna order another one now

I have a Xiaomi g34wqi 3440x1440 I used better display and used the resolution on this link https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/s/dyBgm2trld

buy the xiaomi i went thru great lengths to be picky with my purchase. get the one listed and its great man for $300 i dont think you can do better really

I've been using Xiaomi 34 a close to a year and it is running smoothly. That being said if you are MAINLY playing valorant I would not suggest it because: Valorant does not natively support ultrawide: There will be black bars on your sides. You can play on a stretched 16:9 but it will look much worse and weird. Another thing is that there is ghosting as compared to my previous 165hz IPS monitor. The ghosting doesn't bother me much personally but it varies per person. If you are playing single player games the ultrawide VA is a very good monitor for immersion or content consumption with movies following the 21:9 ratio.
