Xiaomi - Mi Curved Gaming Monitor 34

Avoid Xiaomi. I have the older 34" and I had to manually lower the Hue to achieve a somewhat accurate image. Besides, it's slow, and newer models have their own drawbacks. VA is awesome, but even deeper blacks would be better. I use curved 27" VA right now, and curved panels are less deep than flat (tfw when flat is better 🥵). Actually, curve worth it, I always missed it after switch to an ultrawide IPS (it died within a month btw). In games like CS, or any other competitive games we have some kind of a tunnel vision, so we won't pay attention at corners of 21:9 while adrenaline pumps. It does look nicer, its more immersive, perfect for movies, but 21:9 is still ahead of its time and lacks of vertical FOV. FPS drop in comparison to QHD is noticeable. In comparison to FHD its huge, you'll need a GPU with at least 12Gb of VRAM and capable of 100+ FPS in 3440:1440 in somewhat modern games. tl;dr no, get the QHD 16:9

I have an older Xiaomi Ultrawide that does 144 hz. It has transformed my gaming, the ultrawide format just is better in every way. I'm not looking for a replacement, but if I was I would be looking at a Mini LED monitor in Ultra wide.

I use the xiaomi 34" ultrawide for simracing and i love it, i have it installed pretty close, between the steering wheel and the wheel base. I would like to upgrade to a 49" 32:9 if i had the space and GPU power https://preview.redd.it/28bpd4rghijf1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa3643bdf4d6c60637884c5b977fdf1036886abc .

Yes, i have been using it for almost 2 years now, no trouble at all. I just noticed that the xiaomi monitor you are looking for is actually the newer version, mine is the 144hz version so the one you are looking for should be a bit better.

I am interested in this model as well, but... I am not sure that it is a reasonable price as I bought Xiaomi's 34 inch ultrawide (VA, 144Hz) several years ago for a third of that. I do need a new monitor, and I intend to work (a lot) using it so OLED is out of the question. I'm an architect and my main software doesn't have dark mode, and it has A LOT of static elements. A tough spot.

For a monitor I have  a Xiaomi Mi Curved (2021) Ultrawide VA Curved Gaming Monitor 34" QHD 3440x1440 144Hz My rig : Ryzen 5600x 32gb DDR4 3600mhz MSI 3060 12GB  VRAM 1tb nvme m2 drive  I have all settings to max except of oversampling  Runs pretty smooth in open while running discord chrome for inara etc even OBS for streaming .

I bought mine last 2020. Had a panel issue(there was a vertical column around 1 inch think, still working but that column has dimmer color) after 1 year and 8 months. I had the panel replaced but still payed 12k pesos. The new panel lasted more than 3 years, it now has a horizontal line around 1px thick, thats why im looking now for a new monitor and this titan army monitor might be worth the gamble

I can only speak from experience for Koorui and Xiaomi 34 inch. I own a xiaomi 34 inch and personally recommended it to 7 people. However, the failure rate is "significant". Out of those 7 people: One got destroyed by small water damage (drip leaking from ceiling). One had unfixable vertical green lines (could not determine but I reckon its from humidity dahil studio condo siya na palagi nakabukas aircon). One had issues because secondhand niya binili sa isang seller, seller probably wasn't upfront on the deal. But I will chalk it up to QC issues. However for the rest of the people, including me, 4 years na yung monitors namin and they're still going strong with no issues. Best value I've ever spent imho, but please consider my anecdotes. Yung koorui naman I know someone who owns a koorui 34 monitor, and they're steadily proving their worth as a company (parang xiaomi lang), they're budget-oriented brands with cheap panels. Koorui and HKC is chinese, and Koorui is a sub brand ng HKC. So far, HKC is hit or miss (decades old company na, and its every company - so its bound to happen), but koorui seems to be more consistent because relatively newer company sila. Also valorant does not support native ultrawide resolution, most competitive fps shooters dont, so look up mo nalang which fps games support UW resolution.

Yes you can set your valorant to 2k resolution may black bars nga lang sa gilid sa ultrawides. I'm not sure about the exact model of my Mi 34 curved gaming though, I bought this noong first months ng pandemic 2020 and I bought this monitor for P25,000 turned P21,000 (thank you orange app) at the time. My monitor is probably the first edition. There have been multiple model revisions and refurbishings since then, so iba iba na yung quality, and the price lowered too. But it should still be roughly the same. I cannot say if it became better or worse since lahat ng kilala ko bumili rin after ko naging mi 34 salesman noong pandemic haha.

Xiaomi din sakin yung 34" at 30" nasubukan ko na solid na solid baka pangit cable nya

I had the Xiaomi, it did its job perfectly fine. Of your stated use cases, I actually feel like sim racing is the one that benefits the least from a 34" monitor unless you can get it REALLY close to your face. Otherwise it's only slightly better than an equivalent 27" (same vertical height). I do still use a 34" (Gigabyte M34WQ) and love it for productivity and other non-sim games though.

Personally i have a Xiaomi 34" ultrawide and a 24.5 inch HP ips monitor as Vertically as second monitor. 34" is pretty sweet but i've heard others say 32 is the perfect balance as main display

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.

I have this same monitor in almost the same set up 17.5in from my face, the FoV is a bit high but it works great and I’m as fast as everyone else’s is, I also use Opentrack (free) and smooth track on my phone ($10) for head tracking to be able to turn my head and see which works great once set up.
