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.

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.

Excellent Budget Choice!
I received the monitor yesterday and switched out a failing 32″ monitor for this 34″ ultra wide behemoth. Assembly and switching out the monitors was easy. No bad pixels and excellent color. I like the controls position and ease of access even though they are on the back of the monitor. Viewing on the curved monitor is amazing and very clear. It is my first experience with a curved monitor and everything is clear, clean, beautiful. The only thing I did after installing it was turning on my computer’s HDR and BAM the details… amazing. Using the included DP cable rather than HDMI allowed me to get the highest refresh rates. If there is any issue in the future, I will edit this review.

I bought this for only SR1,600 including import tax. Super bargain price and worth the money. I used it as an external monitor for my Macbook Air. I can’t appreciate the 165hz refresh rate because the Mac can only give 60hz refresh rate using hdmi port. Once i upgrade to M1 Mac, I can experience the real high refresh rate. The resolution is enough coming from the 720p screen of Macbook Air. Ultrawide is truly i like about this monitor. I can multitask and split screen especially on charting on tradingview.

Producto sólido, buena calidad de imagen, contraste y brillo sobresaliente, tiene un poco de ghosting, pero lo compare con un monitor que tenía antes, un TN rog Strix de 240 Hz 1ms el cual nunca antes le había visto ghosting y resultó que tenía más el TN que este que es panel VA, (claro hay que meterse ajustes del monitor para dejarlo al toque) creo que es por que le esteba buscando por otras reviews que vi en Internet, al fin me gustó mucho, lo siento muy bien, en juegos como assasins creed es una experiencia sobresaliente, para trabajo, en productividad igual se siente muy bien, lo recomiendo

La calidad de imagen de la pantalla es espectacular, así como los colores y tiempos de repuesta. El precio es muy competitivo si lo comparamos con otras pantallas similares de las mejoras marcas. Los productos de ASUS siempre me han dado buen resultado y han sido duraderos, espero que esta pantalla cumpla con las expectativas.
