Mi Curved Gaming Monitor 34

I have a Xiaomi mi monitor ultrawide 34 and it's excellent for the price for info!

I bought it and loving it. I had the old version, this looks better with the higher Hz. Totally wrth it.

so this is my current setup: my main computer is the 16 inch m5 pro MacBook Pro, and to the side I have a dell 9570 xps 15, and a MacBook Neo I just got for days I don't want to carry my heavy MacBook Pro. caldigit ts3+ dock - allows me to switch between my Mac and xps. xiaomi 34inch 1440x3440 180hz ultrawide display. dell 27 inch 4k 60hz display (vertical). volt 276 audio interface. 8tb seagate firecuda hdd hub. kanto yu powered speakers. iPad mini 7 - I use it as a small monitor with sidecar when I'm at my desk. iPad Pro 11 m4 - my school notebook and in general an amazing device. xiaomi light bar. anker c200 2k webcam. logitech mx master 4. keychron k10 he keyboard. apple Magic Trackpad. AirPods Max (which are in repair - so I use my sony xm4). diy 1.5m wooden desk shelf. a small 4.2 rcd display with an esp32-s3 that is a pomodoro clock and is connected to my google calendar. plus I love stationary so I have a few midori notebooks and the writing block, which i use with a KAKIMORI aluminum fountain pen. upgrades i'm planning to do: 1. I ordered the satechi cubedock tb5 hub to replace my cal digit ts3+. 2. I ordered 2 monitor arms to alleviate them from the desk shelf. 3. I'm waiting for a ulanzi d200 stream deck to arrive for app shortcuts. 4. I ordered a new keyboard wooden wrist rest to fit my full size keyboard. I do love my desk setup and I spend most of my day here when I'm not in school I wish it had more natural light but my unit is a basement. I definitely need a nice lamp or something to the side but I haven't found one I liked so far. what do you think about my setup?

It’s pretty good! I had the 144hz version for the past 4 years, but 2 weeks ago there was a power outage and it was fried…. I got the 180hz version to replace it because it was in a great price, and it’s a better display than the 144hz But in those 4 years I didn’t have a single problem, and the power outage is not really a defect in the screen but just unfortunate lol. Anyway I recommend it if you get if for a good price

Not for the use I intended it for... which includes retro-gaming (MAME etc.): those games have very unusual freqs between 50-60Hz (some for example run at 55.017606 Hz or 56.nnn etc. NES, SNES, Amiga emulators at \~50Hz) so I can't create specific caps for hundred of different cases.... That's where G-Sync comes in handy auto-syncing fps/Hz for perfect smoothness... But it seems big external monitors in 2026 still don't support G-Sync well and completely flicker-free. Disappointing, given their price 😞 P.S. I have an old Mi monitor 34" XMMNTWQ34/XMI3444 with Freesync Premium and flickers a lot with G-Sync with retro-games (50-59Hz). I was hoping the new models had improved, but I was wrong... sigh

It depends on your budget. Also, have you ever used a VA panel before? From my experience, I previously owned a 27-inch IPS monitor, then I bought the Xiaomi 34" which uses a VA panel. Honestly, I didn’t like it at all the colors and viewing angles just felt off to me. I ended up selling it and getting the MSI MAG401QR instead. The price difference was quite big (around $310 → $460), but it was worth it. The MAG401QR uses an IPS panel, not VA, and the improvement was noticeable. However, I did hear good reviews about the AOC model you mentioned (the one in the picture). If you go for it, I recommend getting the 240Hz version.
