Xiaomi - Mi Curved Gaming Monitor 34

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.

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.
