GIGABYTE G34WQC A 34" 144Hz Ultra-Wide Curved Gaming Monitor, 3440 x 1440 VA 1500R , 1ms (MPRT) Response Time, 90% DCI-P3, VESA Display HDR400, FreeSync Premium, BLACK (G34WQC A-SA)

This was a bit of a splurge purchase for me, but I am completely satisfied with this monitor for use with everyday tasks and for gaming. The monitor has amazing specs, and they are noticeable compared to my old monitor. The resolution, and refresh rate really made a difference for me. The screen has a brightness adjustment and it is easy to setup. I find it to be a great value.

This is the holy grail of monitors for me. A non-curved 3440x1440 with FreeSync and a 144hz refresh rate, and with a great one-touch KVM as a bonus!The screen is gorgeous and bright, with great contrast and nice wide viewing angles. The on-screen controls give you plenty of adjustments, including a SRGB mode and game optimizations. There is some IPS glow and some black unevenness, but that's only noticeable on a completely black screen in a dark room. It's just the nature of IPS screens, and it's better in that regard than my old LG 34UM65 was.The FreeSync is just fantastic. It works flawlessly with the two cards I've tried it with - a Nvidia 2080 Super and the card I replaced it with, a Nvidia 3080TI. It's so nice to finally be able to turn off vsync and just play without any screen tearing.The KVM feature is brilliant. I plugged my keyboard and mouse into the monitor's two USB ports, then connected the USB-C to my PC. Everything works as expected. When I need to work on my laptop, I connect it to the monitor via HDMI and the USB Upstream port, press the KVM button, and my mouse and keyboard switches to the laptop along with the display. One button press and I'm back to my PC.

This is a sweet monitor that I bought for stock trading. You need a lot of pixels to see multiple charts and widgets without shuffling windows constantly, getting lost in the process.My only complaint is the edges are hard to see, and I need to see them at a glance.I got exactly what was described, so I can't blame Gigabyte. This one has a perfect panel. They make pretty good products, in my extensive experience. And CR rated it quite good, topping many competitors costing far more. You need to shop smart for monitors, just like stereo speakers.Speaking of speakers, the ones on this monitor are no shining stars, the sound through AirPlay is muddy, but acceptable. Forget music. Not important to me, and the USB hub makes up for so-so sound. The KVM is a sweet bonus, especially is you have a laptop and a desktop workstation.Ergonomics and build quality are both excellent. Easy to swivel and raise/lower with one finger. Sweet.Certainly a reasonable choice on a budget. Many of the monitors I researched are overpriced, IMO. A $2100 stunner isn't worth 6X this monitor. Not even close.But the image doesn't earn 5 stars.I haven't gamed on this unit, but it should be good to very good. The blacks are really dark and the response time is fast.Pro reviewers saw some smearing, but gave it quite good marks, especially way under $400.I will likely replace it with a BIG curved display in a few years.Definitely recommended. Cant be beat at the $350 I paid.

Excellent OLED Ultrawide with a Goldilocks curve, all while being one of the less expensive 240hz displays. UI could be better, but perfectly fine tradeoff for a panel of this quality.

This is a stunning monitor for productivity and gaming at a bargain price! (That price being about $330, in my case). For productivity, such as research or school work, the screen real estate allows three full windows to be opened simultaneously (as shown in my blurry picture, the monitor is sharp tho). For instance, I have my school assignments in one, a textbook in another, and a Word document in the third. My 32” 1440p monitor only allowed for two, which meant constantly minimizing and moving around windows while researching. The dot pitch also makes for sharp text and is about the equivalent of a 27” 1440p monitor. Coming from my 32” 1440p monitor, this is a massive improvement.For gaming, this is also a stunning monitor. Since it is a VA panel, there is always the potential problem of ghosting and pixel overshooting (reverse ghosting). This monitor has a quirk that vastly improves its resistance to ghosting. Everyone knows about overdrive, which should be set to BALANCED to avoid overshoot, but you may prefer SPEED. The secret to this monitor is the “BLACK STABALIZATION” setting, which dramatically reduces ghosting. Set it to one, and it will help immensely. Set it to ten, and it will do infinitely more, which is close to the best setting for appearance anyway.Lastly, this is not the same monitor as the original G34WQC, but this is the “A” version, which is brighter and possibly improved in other ways. Old reviews only somewhat apply. For instance, I would not use the RTINGS color profile (ICC Profile) for this version. It does not need a custom profile to look spectacular unless you are a content professional who needs stellar accuracy. The gamma is a little bright out of the box but is easily adjusted. Here are my settings if you want a place to start. BRIGHTNESS-100, CONTRAST-59, COLOR VIBRANCE-10, SHARPNESS-6, GAMMA-4, TEMPERATURE-NORMAL, LOW BLUE LIGHT-OFF, DCR-OFF, BLACK EQUALIZER-9, OVERDERIVE-BALANCED. I tried setting Windows 10 to HDR mode, but it did not help get the best appearance. I hope this review is helpful for you. This is a terrific monitor!

I have used two of these monitors for my desktop over the past year without issue. They were well packaged by the manufacturer. Set up was simple and easy. They have a good response time and the colors look vibrent. I have not noticed any broken/stuck pixels on either of them.
