Yeyian isn't a household name here in Canada, so Plouffe was excited to see if they would be shaking up the monitor market with their Sigurd 4000 curved ultrawide. With decent enough specs and an accessible price point, is this monitor an easy recommendation or should you stick with major brands?

Yo
Fun fact: This monitor is 1:1 like the Coolermaster gm34-cw (not gm34-cwq). Almost the same stand, same vesa mechanism, same tri-star color thing on the back, same OSD, same specs.
Not this one.5 minutes into the video with the display still off and already hate this thing. My cheap TCL 50 inch TV took less time to get on it's 2 feet and my cheap viewsonic monitor was easy as hell to setup. That stand is such ass that I'm just confused.
No
Hell no. I like having an actual warranty if it breaks.
"Yeah, this is involved, more involved than I would personally like, I wouldn't be willing to deal with this stuff" - had to read the manual for screwing in two screws in an obvious place
Yeah like my man you only gotta do it once. Absolute snob
@@sparkerov Yeah, not thrilled whenever they put this guy on.
@@VidweII Well he's marginally better than Alex who compares everything he reviews to products 4 times the price of what he is reviewing and calls them janky.
Yeyian was founded in 2017. So, yeah, they haven't been around long enough to build a decent rep yet. However, they have lasted past that fabled 3 year point when most companies fail, so they have that going for them.
That *and* they did get through COVID. They should be fine.
@@meleter8107I don't think that covid was a negative event for a company that creates computer accessories. It probably increased their sales.
i dont know about you, but i personally dont mind when assembling a monitor is not intuitive or takes a while, its a one time thing anyway, i dont take that into account to judge if its a good monitor
same with on screen display not having "nipples"
11:51 "It's not perfect, but that looks a lot better. If you buy this monitor please do yourself a gigantic favor and make sure to set both the monitor and Windows to HDR."
12:14 "I'm actually going to turn off HDR though because I bet you the SDR experience would be better. I feel like it is trying to over brighten stuff a little bit and washes out. Don't get me wrong. It's absolutely not nearly as dark where it should be in the dark areas, but this just looks better. It doesn't look all washed out and dirty, and so I would definitely basically just never turn HDR on with this monitor."
13:08 "We do with HDR turned on it is like kind of darker in the corners here, but we're just losing a lot of detail and it doesn't look great. Um, we're going to turn HDR off and take a look and see how it looks. And SDR. And again you're losing a ton of contrast but at least now I can feel I can see all these details, and it looks a bit better. I don't know. Um, I think I'd probably run this thing in SDR if I was going to buy it, personally."
Good to get solid and non confusing advice...
To be fair, this an unboxing not a full review. If you were genuinely wondering how a product performs and wanted an objective review, you'd go literally anywhere else
@@olsirmonkey if thats true, then the title is misleading
I think that when he was playing RE4, he was talking about the in-game HDR, not the monitor's
@@renzen4354 shortcricuit is an unboxing/first impressions channel. no video here is a review, that's the point of the channel.
@@Tehkezah Then they shouldn't use a clickbait title that makes their unboxing and first impressions look like a review people can depend on for buying advice.
Nothing against Plouffe, but is he just discovering that people usually don't have 1000$ monitors? But way cheaper one and don't need all the stupid feature (tool less assembly, usb hub,...)
Well he does have all the cool tools, so anything more affordable seems pretty pedestrian, and the cheap stuff feels like liquid crap. But yea, he would need to get a bit more experience with what the majority of people are actually prepared to pay for. And as a hint, that's not i9-13900K or R9 7950X3D, RTX 4090 or even a RX7900 XTX, and it certainly doesn't include a 4K 32" OLED or better.
The average gamer is mor likely sitting in front of a six or eight core machine, with a RTX 2060 or a RX 500 series GPU or something similar in price and performance. And they are playing games on a 1080p monitor...
To be fair tool less assembly is a feature on even the most basic of monitors out there
My $300 monitor has both of those things, these things are no longer nice to haves
My "good" monitor is a Viewsonic 27", 1440p with 144Hz. I paid like $350 Canadian, so maybe like $275 USD.
Plouffe would give me the dirtiest look of disapproval for being pleased with it. Lol
@@40yr.Old.Nerdinhe would absolutely detest my 24“ 1080p 60Hz Monitor without any adjustments and overclocked to 72 Hz… also, it’s just advertised as 250 nits…
"I'm not being elitist here" - calls 500$ low end
@@zaqueattaq nah, I really like Plouffe but his budget takes are kinda wild
A bit spoiled by working at LTT. You work at a place like that long enough and There's bound to be some disconnect.
Starting to think Plouffe needs to stick to testing more expensive monitors so he doesnt compare lower end to high end
Yeah he mentions not being elitist, and then talks about "low end" $5-600 displays. Of course he daily drives a $1400 monitor so not to be surprised I guess
@@elWhiteNinja1 yeah I thought I was pretty elitist for monitors but I almost dropped my drink when he said 500-600 low end. Maybe he means low end for 1440p ultra wide
I don't get why these guys refuse to take a look at the manual.. Is it like a joke I don't understand?
@@elWhiteNinja1 He's the very definition of elitist - not even all that objective, the heck is that motion blur he's talking about, I am watching this on an OLED and saw zero issue with the text clarity he's trying to show
@@e21bigI fully understand the motion blur he's talking about, it's hard to catch on camera but I had a monitor with the same panel and everything looked blurry in motion. Totally not worth spending more than maybe $200 on just for the refresh rate.
Yeyian it's a brand commonly found in the Latin-American market along with Ocelot gaming and Game Factor.
From my experience all their products are cheap and moderately good, but not the best quality.
Yep ocelot and yeyian are really famous for cheaping out in quality,but adding rbg in everything. Seen alot of fires with yeyian Psu's and alot of ocelot monitors not lasting 5 months
I guess it depends on the country
I'm latin american and never in my life have heard of Yeyian
I mostly see crappy HP monitors, or when selling gaming stuff they sell the cheaper Asus TUFs
That's a white label monitor, it's very common in Brazil too. Brands like Superframe, Mancer and Concordia (national brands) use them as well, I have a 1080p 240hz VA and it's pretty good for the pricing here (~220 USD).
@@CharlExMachina en México es uno de sus fuertes mercados quizás en tu país exista pero con otro nombre ya que estás marcas hacen. Rebranding
Yeah, i got 27" panel 3 years ago, 165 hz, nt but decent colors. very slim and has 1dp 3 hdmi which is not bad for a budget monitor, and is still going strong. Not my main monitor, but still very decent buy.
My main personality trait is owning an AW3423DW.
Cant deny it, as a mexican i am pretty happy this mexican brand has expanded their horizons to see it in a Linus Media Channel
x2 but would rather see game factor. I like their producs more.
Also would second featuring Game Factor
I actually like that there are a lot of screws. It makes everything feel more secured to what it's supposed to hr secured, even tho it doesn't make that big of a difference.
Yeah this. How often are you removing and building the stand? Once! So not a problem if there are more screws
"If you buy this monitor. Do yourself a huge favor and set the HDR to on"
"So I would definitely, basically never turn the HDR on"
Right??? I heard that and was like what?? 😂
Why does he always freak out about setting up the stand every time? I mean, you only gotta do it like once every few years. It's not gonna hurt if he takes an extra 10 minutes to do it.
Right? Plus more screws means more points hard points which means less likely to break if there are more places that it is secured.
Why does it matter what the stand is like and why it has too many screws and why it's a bit of work to setup? I don't understand, yeah I know there are other monitors that are simple to setup and have no screws but why does it matter? Why does it matter when reviewing a monitor?
I mean you only setup once and that is all, all you need to worry about the display quality, peak nits, refresh rate, response time, lag, and the hertz and other technical stuff.
I'm really not liking the snobbery here Plouffe....as a low cost monitor connoisseur, the end user experience trumps the set up experience and after it's set up you're golden-ish. I've had good and bad experiences going low end, but there have been pleasant surprises along the way.
This. I don't care about setup, speakers, rgb, Io, etc.. I want a panel that delivers and does not cost an arm and a leg.
And most people get a vesa arm anyways.
@@odenwaldquelle8228 He is just telling you how it is, literally just spend 30-50 dollars more and you get a better product in every way. This panel doesn't deliver, the colours are terrible and its basically like having motion blur enabled the entire time.
I mean, the snobbery started as soon as he said HDR only looks good on OLED and miniLED...which is just false.
@@Mooshimoca no hes comparing it to his $900 monitor he ahs at home, this is literally 1/3 of the price of course it will be worse. its like he doesnt understand being on an extreme budget of around $200-$300
@@Mooshimoca My statement was universal. They always complain if you need a screwdriver to put it together. What do I care about a toolless assembly if the display sucks?
Another installment of Plouffe looking at an ultrawide... Will he compare it to his AW3423DW at home? Probably.
Not crazy about this thing being VA... but perhaps it can make up for it in other aspects?
Shrug, I personally prefer VA over IPS for the reduced glow and 2-3x contrast ratio. To each their own.
EDIT: Just got to the point where he says "VA is not that great with color". First I've heard of that, plenty of VA monitors and TVs around that hit ~100% sRGB, which is all you need in SDR, the rest is calibration... Wonder if he had the gamma wrong or something... My two flanking VA monitors hit about 98% coverage, but 103-105% total area. =/
EDIT2: I mean Rtings has tested a fair few monitors with either panel type, and while IPS might have a slight advantage on average, both are easy to find in the 95-100% sRGB range. And the worst VA they've tested in years was 91% sRGB, worst IPS being like 60-65% sRGB, so it's not like it's an inherent panel thing...
@@jubuttib Yeah VA looks miles better than IPS in my opinion. The increased contrast is needed. Hopefully IPS black can address this.
@@reshadegaming6285 Hadn't heard about IPS black, need to look into it. And I can't claim VA doesn't have issues, generally the response times are noticeably worse and ghosting is an issue, but I'd still rather deal with that than the glow and low contrast.
Well, not really relevant for me anymore, since my main is an OLED... =)
Will be regret his purchase? Probably.
i work in a company that imports these monitor panels, we do the rebranding depending on the reseller.
That OSD is a generic OSD for these monitor panels since its from one manufacturer in shenzen, these monitors uses a class B samsung panel (yes not the best panels) but they are pretty ok
lol "now it CAN FINALLY be attached"... after 1 minute and a half! WOW! CRAZY! ...lol what a baby.
I'm still not sure why you would even need USB on a monitor
I got a Viotek GNV34DBE2 a couple years ago and it looks almost the same as this one from the front bezel, OSD, and specs. I have loved it. Great high resolution ultra-wide for like $350 which was a great deal.
same
they probably rebranded
Was just thinking that. I have a SUW49C and one of the several reasons I want to get rid of it is the crappy non-responsive firmware that causes it to not go to sleep.
I'm in the market and unfortunately I think it's just worth it to spend the money on a fully fleshed out monitor.
I have the same and all but the base looks the same
calling 1440p / 108 ppi "high resolution" should be a illegal in 2023
@@xXxJakobxXx3 lol it’s better than 2560x1080 my bad
The amount of complaining for screws on the back of the stand that you're never gonna see is annoying
Also the amount of complaining about how it’s difficult to carry. How often do people carry their monitors around?
Right, and i don't really understand all the moaning about the way you have to put the stand together, bc how often do you have to assemble a monitor stand that you need to do it quickly.
Yeyian, Ocelot and GameFactor are the budget trinity here in Latin America. You get what you pay for. That being said, these are not crap monitors for the average gamer that wants these features without spending a whole month's salary on a monitor. But of course, when you work for the largest Canadian tech TH-cam channel with access to all the latest and greatest tech, you're going to acquire a sense of elitism towards everything that's not top of the line.
I use an Iiyama 34 inch ultra wide 3440x1440 IPS 144hz display. Had it for a few years and it was £250 brand new, genuinely the best value buy I've ever made.
Am I crazy, or did you say pretty much back to back: “make sure you turn on HDR on the monitor and in windows”… And then about two minutes later say “make sure you never turn on HDR for this monitor”?
I’m glad that this has 2 HDMI and 2 DisplayPort jacks. I’ve had multiple monitors and never used the USB port so not having that just seem to make sense. Unless you can use a USB jack for power or high speed transfer, then why have it?
Something that I really appreciate about this monitor is that it has a lot of adjustment. I didnt know that was something to appreciate until I bought my Odyssey G5, which has absolutely 0 adjustment on it unless you buy a third party stand. For 300 dollars (yes I understand that it is rather "budget" but still) I would expect it to at least swivel or move up and down a little bit but its as static as my love life which is really pathetic.
Just as a reference point, my gaming monitor from 2011 has full adjustment and it was such a disappointment to see how little I thought this "upgrade" really felt like an upgrade.
It's a Nixeus NX-EDG34S. From the mount to the LEDS on the back and the OSD. all the same as my old Nixeus.
Actually don't mind VA. Yes they can sometimes have some slightly longer response times, but the added contrast is very noticeable compared to an IPS doing absolutely everything
I have 3-4 years with the Odraz (24, 1080p, 144hz, HDR) and its great.
I have the Gigabyte G34WQC mentioned in this video. It's not a perfect monitor, but it does a lot of things extremely well and feels like very good value at the US$450 I paid in 2020 (current price is more like US$380).
I have the AOC CU34G2X that I picked up in 2021 for $450 and the HDR isn't fantastic but coming from a non-HDR panel was amazing. The color accuracy is good and everything looks vibrant to me. The best selling point for me is AOCs warranty for gaming panels, they offer a 1 year "anything goes" replacement (which I used when I bumped the side while moving and killed the monitor). I had a free replacement within 5 days with no guff. I am waiting for the day when AOC offers mini-LED or OLED panels to upgrade!
I had one of their displays, the brand is popular here in Mexico because of their low prices, it was honestly pretty good for the price, only thing I disliked was the colors, they were a bit dull but everything else was just perfect for 120hz gaming on my Xbox Series S
I'd like to see more budget monitors
You should do the Monoprice monitors for a short circuit
VA colour is actually better than IPS most of the time. Colour accuracy is a matter of factory calibration, there IPS at this price range (or even more) doesn't always have the best colour accuracy out of the box either - and it's not a big deal, if you do colour critical works, buy a colorimeter, no amount of factory calibration can substitute that.
Also I don't think it's fair to be using games like RE4 to test a limited HDR capability of an LCD. While you might want to turn it off in a game like that, I bet it can look a lot better with something like Spider Man that display day time all the time
The statement that '20-30 dollars more would probably be better' holds no weight. Better to test the Gigabyte and make a definitive statement or not make a statement at all.
ok i get ur mind but like
10:52 "WOW ITS NOT PERFECT but do urself a favor and turn hdr on!"
less then 2 mins later:
12:34 "i will never turn hdr on with this monitor"
Plouffe really did this monitor dirty in my opinion. It came in $10 cheaper than the Gigabyte he was referencing and he hasn't even seen it in person to say which one was better? And that gigabyte monitor has a lower refresh rate. Idk, maybe he didn't want to vouch for some company he's never heard of. I say don't buy brands, buy products and this product seems GREAT for the price.
The gigabyte is a no brainer over this for a 10$ difference regardless of all that. This monitor would need to be under 300 to be worth considering.
Ahh, you blew the review recommending a more expensive monitor that you haven't tried. Fell at the final hurdle....
Its literally a clone of Monoprice Darkmatter 34". From the OSD, the backpanel ports and there placement. The monoprice did 144hz but you could have overclocked to 165z which i never did. And the stand is diff but the mounting mechanism is same.
Theres also the Pixio PXC348C. 399$ Has usb-c 65w charging and display. 1440/144hz
The windows HDR calibration app can help a TON with the HDR picture in SDR and HDR. Also Windows reports the display brightness the display tells it so they falsely reported it in the firmware.
"This is the worst stand design I've ever seen, I don't under *_stand_* it" great work team, keep it up👍
"It's not a bug, it's a feature."
If that's the worst stand design you've seen then you haven't seen much. Compares to some I've seen and used that was incredibly good engineering. That doesn't mean it's any good just not as epic a fail as the reviewer made it our to be.
@@blahorgaslisk7763it’s ridiculously over engineered for no reason. That stand was horrific to assemble
@@blahorgaslisk7763 not a big pun guy I see
First time ive heard anyone complain about the lack of usb on a monitor. Even if it's there, i doubt anyone bothers to use it
Paid 400 for my HP x34. Not curved but it is 1440p 165hz and it’s an IPS panel. Loved it so far.
Should I keep my gigabyte? I plan on moving and I probably will have to sell it soon but would this be a better VA panel than the Gigabyte or is it worse?
6:35
USB hubs are not a standard feature in lower end monitors, and if you want to control settings that can be done through displayport.
Also that OSD navigation looked perfectly usable, my current monitor has worse.
Looks just like my Sceptre ultrawide, even the lights on the back and the stand mount.
He acts so surprised that a budget monitor doesn’t look as good as the $1200+ monitors he’s used to. Maybe review things compared to their price and not act like everyone can afford the $1200 option.
plouffe reviewing things is just annoying at this point. 1) He's spoiled with choice 2) He doesn't seem to review monitors based off of price AKA is it good for how much money you'd be spending 3) In his head whether consciously or subconsciously he's comparing this to a probably $1000+ monitor and it's not that.
I'd honestly love to see him just not be a host anymore unless it's with keyboards, I don't watch those anyway but yeah
First 5 mins into the video, and I'm like FTW?
LMG has sure put quantity over quality. I remember the days when LMG did objective reviews and not record an individual's pet-peeves and prejudices.
#RIPSoonLMG
you will get better image quality in a dark room. because of low peak brightness, they appear to bring down the shadows to achieve HDR high contrast. But VA pixel response, going to be poor with fast action.
I was gonna say any monitor except $2000 ones will look like ass in a highly lit studio like that
This is 350 on sale, and I paid 400 for basically the same thing, but flat IPS, add a KVM, and 144hz instead of 165hz. Also upgradeable firmware, settings controls through windows app in addition to the OSD/buttons... I don't see why you'd buy something like this unless it was like half the price.
Are the drivers needed for HDMI 2.1 that much more expensive? Such a feature would’ve been nice for PS5 use.
@@danielbeccar269 I guess what he meant is, was putting HDMI 2.1 on there that more expansive than HDMI 2.0?
TAA usually causes motion blur so you want to test motion in games without TAA on. Upscaling also turns TAA on.
I know you guys already did the Samsung Neo g8, do you think we can get a folloe up video lile this one with deeper testing now that the labs have better equipment?
What?! Introduces the LTT screwdriver and finishes the scene with the IFixIt.
Another "Non certified -HDR" monitor is the ACER Nitro XV241 X wich is quite good for HDR even if they don't accomplish all the vesa hdr certification, but the impressive part of it is the contrast , the colors and refresh rate 240hz but the motion blur performance is excellent on par with the ViewSonic XG2431 , since acer use the same panel😂
A little too much time spent complaining about the stand of a budget monitor that realistically you're going to set up once and never touch again. Not something I would focus on for a budget product
they sell a lot of stuff from this brand on my trusty local PC stuff shop so I'm glad you guys are looking at it cause I have no idea if its trusty or not
This monitor is a WL, i have the exactly same monitor, but from Husky gaming (144hz, not 165hz maybe the panel updated from model to model),is a great monitor for the price in my country (Brazil). We cant access a lot of UW 2k monitor here and this one is a good option for about R$2000,00 with promo ($416,96). The quality is amazing? No, but man the price is! Side by side the alienware one QD-OLED here is about R$10.300,00 ($2039,00) so, im happy about my purchase
I've never seen a grown man complain about a couple of screws for 6 minutes.
14:20 yes you are
That looks like an AOC panel. Menu and buttons are spot on.
For the NZ market this is a Titan Army. Same OSD, look and specs. Funny it runs under a different name in NA
Never seen Plouffe so upset at a monitor before
Can you test the AOC ag344uxm? Its miniled, has 1152 dimming zones and should be close enough to an oled but without the burn in.
I feel like the labs data might have biased Plouffe a bit here and by that I mean this didn't really feel like a first impressions video the way that Short Circuit normally is. I think its great that The Labs is testing the monitor and the data is really good to have (calling out the manufacturer on bullshit claims and what not). I just think that for integrating it with Short Circuit, it might be better to have the first impressions with the unboxing and sit down, then go over the labs data at the end.
Going into the review knowing the manufacturer is taking liberties with the specs makes me feel like the first impression is colored in a specific way so that it is no longer indicative of a users first impressions.
Looks SURPRISINGLY like the Viotek GNV34DB I have at work. Just a different stand and with HDR.😅
I have had a yeyian monitor for 4 years now, never had a dead pixel problem nor any other kind of problem but yeah the pixel wash is there, you can watch this the larger the resolution and bigger the panel an higher the refresh rate but mine cost 120 usd 4 years ago FDH freesync gsync 144hz best deal ever
This looks exactly like the Monoprice VA 34” I bought at the end of 2020. They updated the panel frame rate, ports and added HDR, but the menu is exactly the same.
That monitor was playing 100Hz for 2.5 years until something blew. The Display Port is gone, the HDMI 2.0 only looks good at 30p, but the 1.4 ports still work. My guess is a power board capacitor blew. I haven’t opened it up to check and fix it.
Seconded here. I somehow ended up with the version capped at 144Hz and the subsequent version that goes up to 165Hz (though I keep them both at 120Hz). It's... fine, but I'm saving up to get a good OLED. Great candidate for use with anything like FancyZones or CosmicDE's tiling mode.
This monitor looks remarkably similar to my Sceptre C35. Literally the same bezels and the buttons and their icons are the exact same. I would believe this is the same panel that was hacked to "support" HDR.
I also have the Sceptre C35…. Was checking the comments to see if anyone was going to mention the EXTREMELY similar build
@@LegendaryK4 Glad I’m not the only one who noticed!
cheaper options really don't have usb options. I also noticed it has the same OSD interface as my Prism+ monitor which is a singaporean brand
"go with Gigabyte and get bettwe customer service". Somehow I don't think this is true. Also I have 3 Gigabyte monitors in the same line as he mentions 2 x G27Q's and 1 M27Q. The reason I have an M27Q is one of my 3 G27Q's died within a month of owning it and had to be replace and it was easier to just pay £30 more to get the M27Q instead. All 3 just over a year old and another G27Q is having issues with one of it's inputs.
Another note is since the day I owned all of them they coil whine incessantly when in sleep mode, it pitches up and down with the flashing of the power LED. Finally they are awful to try and turn off. since holding in the nipple sometimes just toggles between sleep mode and on not turn them fully off. Worst purchase I ever made but they were the only reasonabley priced non-curved 1440p monitors at the time, everything else was £100-200 more.
I've bought Yeyian stuff before. I had pretty much the same reaction. All of it seemed to have the same "not quite" quality to it.
You should check out some iiyama monitors, they are a quite populair budget monitor brand in europe.
And for those who have no experience with iiyama... They are a Japanese company and has been making monitors since the 90's at least. So they are a well established monitor producer, and their quality is usually really good. Or at least it was back when I worked with them. I don't know what their current product line up looks like though.
I am sure this is the same panel that's used in just about every ultrawide monitor in this price bracket. Brands include AOC, Gigabyte, Dell. I am sure there are a few others, but imo, spend extra money on a quality panel if you want ultrawide.
First time I've ever heard VA being the worse option for color, I buy VAs because they're exceptional at color lol. If you have one with local dimming zones and QD you can get really close to an OLED color quality.
Yep. The problem with this video is it seems very elitist. It is cheap, from an unknown brans and VA, so can't be good. Basically the entire video has that undertone to it
@@_shreyash_anand Plouffe always does it, he is an elitist, and no matter how much he says he is not, but he is.
yeah va are know for having great color and pretty good black levels they just blurr badly with motion.....
@Sebastian Smolarczyk yeah seems so. Probably shouldn't have gotten the guy with one of the best monitors on the market to review a budget one. That will taint someone's perspective no matter what.
Also is it just me or was he wishy washy? Starts off by saying you need HDR on then later says you'll want to run it in SDR lol. 🤔
I think it depends on how one would define "better". Historically speaking IPS panels reproduce more accurate colours and neutral contrast (something that would appeal to people doing colour accurate work) while a VA would have a larger contrast ratio with more saturated colours (something that might appeal to those consuming content). Different strokes for different folks, but if he's using Delta E then he's referring to colour accuracy, and therefore traditionally IPS monitors have been more accurate.
Whatever happened to the cable tester and testing the cables that came with things like this?
I'm kinda hoping they'll review some Xitrix monitors now too
The back is oddly similar to the GM34-CW from Cooler Master, even the shape of the mount for the stand.
Brand from a tech group for wholesaler here on Mexico, they re good for basic stuff or basic mechanic keyboards but is hard to see them on monitor market whit their quality
I have one of these. Not the best colors, the spealers (different brand "husky" comes with 2w speakers) are trash. If you want to play competitive, buy a smaller monitor. If you like arcades, casual play, big immersion and having a ton of fun, in a 2k display, also with a huge productivity advantage because 34" ultrawide... It's a great value for the price. I'm happy with my monitor, and I did had the chance to pick the Gigabite, but this model was 100$ cheaper and was curved (the Gigabite wasn't), and IMO, the curve makes a huge difference. I'm liking mine so far!
What about Huawei or Xiaomi 34” ultrawide monitors? They're pretty good to me
i got some time ago the sigurd 2500 it can do some oc from the advertised 144hz to 165hz and on the begining they used g-sync compatible but turning that on burned the panels (not in image quality literally dead panel) and you needed to send it to rma, that happened to me so it was a cheap monitor (160$) for a 24" 144hz so not that crappy but not good
If you don't like the stand, you van still get a VESA mounted stand. It has even more screws than this one. (at least 4)
i think when comparing stuff it has to be objectively. im sorry for the plouffe, you didnt nail on this one.
How that monitor finished in ShortCircuit?!
I'm very surprised! 😆
So what about HDR? Should I turn it on our off?
This is a rebranded Sceptre monitor. I have the older version and this is pretty much identical for the button layout, input PCB connections and the back of it. the only difference is the upper section of the stand.
Probably just one of the many chinese OEM products that get sold with different brands, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Looking at the monitor design and the OSD, I realised this looks very similar to a brand that is sold in new Zealand called Titan Army. My guess is that they either use the same manufacturer or they are the same company under a different name. They use Samsung VA panels and almost the exact same mounting the OSD is the exact same. Wonder if anyone else has thoughts around this
I also made the same comment. Looked it up on PBTech, 100% the same monitor; different name
This looks like a Sceptre ultrawide - I have the 2560 x 1080 ultrawide from electriq and it has the same OSD, and they basically just rebrand Sceptre's products for the UK. Also my delta E average is less than 1 with this panel after calibration, only one measured colour had a delta E greater than 1.
should start with price so we can decide up front if the video is worth our time to watch
As a Mexican it surprised me to see Yeyian finally reviewed, they sell so much here yet there's basically no info about them online
When is the Samsung G9 qd-oled coming out? Can you review the ROG swift 27" OLED 244hz monitor. I'm trying to decide between the two. Thanks I love your videos!!!❤🎉
5:05 Latch problem is not unique. I've almost dropped Dell monitor in this manner.
Can you confirm if Yeyian and Prism+ is just the same monitor with different brand?
I'm currently using a 32" monitor from a local brand in Singapore called PRISM+ and the OSD and OSD button labels are the exact same on my monitor, even if it's a different model. Seems like they're using monitors from the same OEM. I should probably replace my monitor...
It's funny, Plouff builds his keyboards from scratch, but thinks this stand assembly is too involved...
Man... How do I say this. You guys are getting a little jaded.
This is basically identical to Titan Army's Monitor (from NZ/AUS)
Got a dell 34" va ultra wide with 144hz vesa hd400 a year ago. For like 460 with 7 years Pick up and return. Happy with it. So lets look the Video to the end to know the price of this😂
