Very noticeable ghosting

I noticed in any dark scene when you move from left to right there is always a ghosting affect no matter how fast you move from side to side you will see a red/green ghosting affect and it’s very noticeable. It’s very bright and the 165 hz make it great to game on but the ghosting can be very distracting.

Big

Wasn’t expecting this 😂 was a bit bigger then I thought and the stand is not for small desks which I have . But that’s not a negative on the monitor just think about your space. Stand extends a good amount on my small desk to were I thought of getting a mount for the desk for it. Seems sturdy but does wiggle from fast mouse movements gaming on mine. Easy hook up. Connection easy as cable is in the box plugged right into GPU. I can adjust the height rather easy and the picture is pretty clear . I messed up though because I thought this was a 4k monitor at first so was a tiny bit disappointed until I looked at 4k prices and for my setup 1440p is just fine for me . Kind a the sweet spot hitting high fps on a ultrawide screen using a 7800xt GPU .

Lover the size.

I have the same monitor size at my work office, so it only made sense to get one for the home office. It works perfectly for what I need when I work from home. I can utilize it with multiple areas because of the size of the monitor. I replaced 2 24 in monitors with the one 34 in curved monitor and I am much happier with this choice.

This is a great monitor and a good compromise between low end VA and high end IPS Displays

I bought this monitor after one friend bought the 32″ version and another had a 35″ Asus Professional Graphics monitor. The color and brightness are absolutely superb. The color saturation is very very good. I do notice on some menu and load screens some color gradient effect but when actually using the monitor I don’t have any issues. The sRGB gamut is just really lovely to use. Though if you’re not looking head on blacks do tend to appear a little grey but sitting directly in front of it, it’s beautiful and ambient light doesn’t seem to have any effect on the screen when playing games.Some people claim this monitor has ghosting. I can’t say I’m a competitive gamer who needs 1ms GTG so 1ms MPRT is working just fine and I’m turning 180 in games like The Division 2 and Rainbow Six Siege and I’m just not seeing any smearing or ghosting. Maybe it’s my eyes but it looks fantastic to me and seems just as clear as my previous Asus VA32AQ 23″ IPS monitor. I was certainly a bit reluctant after reading MANY reviews about smearing and ghosting but some of them even came to the same determination that I did that I just can’t see it. It looks as good as any other non VA panel I’ve used in the last 10 years. I have a 34″ LG IPS I use for work and it looks very similar but the color and brightness isn’t as good and it cost $300 more than the Asus.UPDATE: I just updated my rig today to a new 8-Core i7 and RTX 3070 and I can now see smearing/ghosting in some areas. Not sure what was different from before the upgrades. It’s not a deal breaker but depending on the games you play it may not be the monitor for you. Any bright areas are totally unnoticeable still but dark lit rooms you notice if you turn really fast. Using the built in Overdrive was giving way too much corona effect after throttling it down most of my games look a lot better even CSGO.I’m sure you can probably get similar results from another VA panel that costs a bit less but this ticked all my boxes because I needed extra USB ports, and I needed all the cables to plug in bottom up not sideways into the back because my VESA mount on my desk wall is shallow so you can’t plug a cable in the way you’d do with a Samsung or LG panel.As far as quality over time or reliability I’m sure I’ll be able to give a better long term review later on but in terms of initial quality this monitor is great and I have no regrets about purchasing it.

Awesome for Flight Simulator 2020 Premium Deluxe

I was using a pair of 19″ square LCD HD monitors, which were state of the art in 2010, and still worked well. This ASUS monitor, running at 3440 x 1440 from an MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Super graphics card is awesome. It is very bright and displays movement without ghosting and amazing in Flight Simulator.

Colors? Oh yes.

Although bright, it’s very customizable. Go from any sort of brightness, to any setting, color changes, and 120 hz. This thing works great — it doesn’t even lag out my 4 year old laptop. Simple to put up, only around two cords, and it’s small. The picture quality is better than my eyesight, so I can’t even experience the whole thing in its glory.TL:DR: Want to expand your setup for a cheap price? Here you go.

Highly recommended

This is a great monitor. At least to me, as this was a first swapping to a higher refresh rate than to budget ball a 60 hz monitor haha. I’ve played and tested many games. The picture quality is really smooth. I would even go as far as saying that it improves your gaming skill a little because of the lower latencies.So if you are like me going for a first time with a higher refresh rate monitor, or just somebody looking for a decent monitor, this is the one you should add to your cart.

Good monitor with a couple of flaws.

Purchased this monitor for my daughter for her new pc. The monitor seems to perform and have a lot of the expected features of a modern gaming monitor. It’s a competent IPS display with a 165hz refresh rate and support for AMD Freesync and Nvidia Gsync (although the monitor doesn’t seem to be validated on Nvidia’s list of Gsync compatible monitors). It offers smooth, stutter and tear free motion during the games I’ve played. For the price, it’s proven to be very capable.The colors appear very vibrant and, provides a host of presets and color options to get the ideal viewing experience. Nothing seemed too dark,dull or washed out or otherwise off during my usage.I will say that there does seem to be a pronounced amount of backlight bleed or IPS glow coming from this monitor. It’s not at all noticeable in normal lighting conditions, and only really stands out when the screen is all black during a game. The other blemish was that the monitor seems to have shipped with 2 dead pixels. I didn’t notice them at all until i did a screen test where i noticed these small specs that didn’t go away. I thought they were a part of my daughters wallpaper art.Screen quality aside, I’d say it’s a very capable monitor if you can get it on sale.UPDATE: I am happy to report that what looked like dead pixels may have actually been just stuck pixels. I conducted the screen test again, and the dark dots were no longer present! This does not change the Overall rating that I gave the monitor because it was still an obnoxious issue to deal with and took a few weeks to sort itself out.

Wonderful 1080P Monitor for My Needs

Wonderful Monitor in my Eyes, Excellent Picture Quality, Refresh rate nice and fast, excellent for all my gaming needs with my Geforce 1660 Super that i currently use on Desktop PC*Only use it as right now Displayport 144mhz, as wasn’t sure if my Card (Geforce 1660 Super) supported 165Mhz for all my games or not, so decided not to risk overclocking the Monitor and possibly having issues*Overall extremely happy with this product

Good gaming monitor with some downsides but at an excellent price.

Purchased on: April 19, 2021 and reviewed as of January 17, 2023.I tend to look at Asus more favorably because of my good experience with the brand so I ended up buying this monitor after reading Rtings’ review on this model. (if you are interested in a very technical and more in depth review, I would suggest to look them up)The quality it offers for the price is great. I didn’t have any issues with dead pixels, packaging was great and it arrived in good condition, the color profile looks great and very accurate (although I don’t have the measuring tools to make this claim from a creative standpoint). The VESA mounting screw holes are well positioned in a way that you should be able to use any VESA plate. (this is important to consider as other models, like my other monitor, which has a square hole for the entire plate and it is a little to small to fit most VESA mounts despite having accurate screw holes)For general media consumption and gaming, this is an incredible monitor. In general, I would say I could never go back to using a standard widescreen for a PC. Ultrawide is a massive upgrade with the extra screen size. The resolution this monitor offers is great too as the text looks clean and it isn’t as resource taxing as a 4K monitor would be. I would say this monitor is a great entry point for anyone considering an ultrawide screen. Black uniformity looks good in my opinion despite the lack of any dimming zones.Another great feature that it has is the 4 USB hub right underneath (USB 3.2 type A). Although I wouldn’t use it for a keyboard and mouse if you are a serious gamer, it is very useful for other things such as charging your devices, plugging in an RGB strip so you can use it as a backlight, external storage or any other accessories or USB drives. (In addition to those, it has 2 Display ports, 2 HDMI 2.0 ports and a 3.5 headphone jack)On the other hand, there are a few things to keep in mind. You will not be able to use 10bit colors with the 165hz this monitor supports at the same time. If you go for 165hz, you will be limited to 8bit colors. However, if you are okay with 144hz, you can enable the full 10bit colors range.Another thing often criticized about this monitor is the slight smearing sometimes appearing in dark scenes where you might see the trails of a red/greenish pixels turning as a brighter object moves. This can be somewhat mitigated with overdrive settings. Unfortunately, this is more of a VA panel common issue than anything else and your best option if you really can’t stand it is to go for an IPS or OLED panel at much higher cost.Overall, I would say this is a good quality product and I would highly recommend it. I can’t speak much about the stand as I use a monitor arm and, I would suggest everyone to use one as well due to the flexibility and movement it offers on top of making your setup much cleaner.

Outstanding piece of technology.

Coming from an Acer 27″ FHD 75hz from almost 10 years old, this is a breathtaking change. Color, picture, smoothness, refresh rate, resolution are incredible in this monitor. The vertical stand is quite bulky and therefore it keeps the monitor in place without any issue. You can adjust height and tilt (vertical and horizontal). This is a must if you don’t want or can’t go for an OLED panel. I don’t have experience with the latest but it’ll take me years before I even think to change this monitor now!

Great widescreen VA panel

Coming from a 24″ 60hz IPS display, this is a huge step up. The unit I received has very even lighting and no dead pixels.I had heard complaints about purple/green ghosting on this panel when the overdrive setting is turned up, but I can’t detect any ghosting regardless of what settings I use of what game I load up. I did have some flickering with freesync turned on, so I turned it off, but I was using old display drivers. I’ve since updated the drivers and turned it back on, and haven’t seen any flickering since then (we’ll see). Please note that the freesync issues reportedly seem to be more of an issue for those with NVIDIA graphics cards (I am using an AMD product).Aside from minor freesync issues, any negatives I can attribute to this display have mostly to do with the slightly different character of the image and colors as the result of the VA panel when compared to IPS. Personally, I use this screen in a dark-ish room, and am more sensitive to glare than most people, so the excessive brightness and backlight bleed from IPS panels bothers me a whole lot more than any of the quirks of VA panels (which again, are minimal here). This is ultimately a matter of taste regarding differences in display technology.I also hated the physical styling of all of the “gaming screens” that look like they were designed by kids. The styling on this monitor is VERY toned down, and you wouldn’t know it was marketed as a gaming display by looking at it. This was important to me.I was cross shopping this with the Gigabyte W34WQC (curved VA version), and the LG 34WP65C, both of which are cheaper, but reviews seem to indicate that these panels have more QC and image quality issues than this Asus.Once IPS local dimming and/or OLED become more ubiquitous, I may upgrade. However, that’s highly dependent on price, and I don’t feel like the immature implementations of these technologies are currently worth the price premium (~2x the cost). There’s nothing wrong with old tech as long as the implementation is good quality, as is the case with this display.This is a good quality VA widescreen display at a great price, if that’s what you’re after then this should be an easy decision. I am rating this 4/5 only because of the speakers, and freesync issues.
