How does ultrawide feel when playing first person games? Seems like it would look kind of off in person but I have no experience with ultrawide, That is a fantastic deal though
after trying 1-2 monitors on amazon i gave ktc a try and their monitor have been very good came with no dead pixels and now i owned it for about 4-5 months and still going strong with no dead pixels. The monitor i bought was a KTC H27S17 165mhz with a curve panel.
Ktc is absolutely smashing it one of the best monitors ive ever used. Everything just works and it looks incredible and is half of the price as others that have more issues! Yes you can add as much color as you want!!
Just bought a iiyama 34 Red Dragon with 180hz for 300€ and i love it. Came from 29 inch 1080p UW wirh 60hz. The difference is intense. I upgraded from i7 8700 and RX 6600 to Ryzen 7600 and RX 6800 +OC UV and its more fps on 1440UW than i had with the old setup on 1080p UW. A win in my book.
@@AncientGameplays no i am not, i mean for the money its not worth upgrading that small. I went from 1070 to 6900xt and from amd fx6300 to 11600k. Thats an worthy upgrade.
Last year I got a Sceptre 40" 1440p 165hz Nebula monitor in white for $320. Immediately upon buying it the price went right back up to $500. Not as amazing of a deal today but great for last year, especially for 40". Nice to find a white display since my build is white as well so you get the nice matchy matchy. You can still get them for $300 but they're only available in 32" now. It's ridiculous how expensive displays get when you go above 34". May as well just buy a TV at that point.
Finally! I've bought this monitor and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I've barely seen a video review and an analysis on Display Ninja. And now you have it. Now I'm calm. Thanks a lot.
I bought one of these while watching your vid, (using your link) had the Sceptre version in my cart but went with this from your review. It's not bad at all.
I got the 27” inch version of this, the non UW one. It looks beautiful! It is so crisp, why I went with the 27” version. To get the best ppi density I could! I am super happy with the brand so far. Great content man like always.
@@AncientGameplays that is true, the UW is a bit better right but basically the same. For when I bought, and what I was looking for in my setup, the 27” was the best buy for me. Also isn’t it like 33% more pixels rendered with the UW over the regular 1440p? So you will need more gpu to get to the same performance right? So not exactly the same thing.
@@AncientGameplays yup, I looked into it, and the ppi may be about the same, it take way more gpu power to push the UW then a standard 1440 panel so while the ppi may be about the same, it is not at all the same. You will need about 30% more power to get to the same exact place. That screen id more like 3k than 2k like the 1440p panel is. Not the same at all.
@@AncientGameplays which is why I of course, got the one I got. I get this strange feeling you thought I was arguing with you in the first comment, which I wasn’t. I got this brand in a panel that worked better for me, even if the ppi is about the same. I was just trying to give you more comments for the TH-cam algorithm. I see that was a mistake. My bad man, I won’t interact with this channel anymore. I liked your content. Shame I won’t see it anymore. Have a great life.
Just got this monitor it’s a crazy value! Prime day $200 with your link! Amazing value, the stand is massive recommend a monitor versa mount ✅ amazing picture quality
I currently have the Asus ROG 34" ultrawide. I did of course pay the ROG premium, but the panel is superb with a 180Hz RR. This is a really attractive option for a second rig, though.
After legit practically an entire day into the late hours researching what the best 3440 UW monitor upgrade for editing and gaming would be, I landed on this 1. Glad to see it was assuredly the right choice. It’s honestly insans how over saturated the monitor market is, with opinions, specs and misleading marketing. Phew, glad that’s over.
I know this video is old but i just got this monitor. It normally goes for $300 now but I did get it for 250 as there was a coupon. Now it's back to $300. Its arriving tomorrow. Cant wait to finally check out Ultrawide gaming.
@coryjames4294 how is your gaming and productivity experience if there’s any? This monitor seems like it has all the bells and whistles. Please share! Thanks
@@akaperfectman I actually ended up returning it for a Mini LED Monitor that was normally 600 but there was a sale that got it down to $350. I got the Innocn 34M1R. I am pretty happy with it too. HDR looks great as it has HDR 1000. I don't do productivity but I was watching TH-cam videos on it and people said it's great for that too. I mainly use it for gaming. Gonna hook up my 27 inch as a portrait mode 2nd monitor for discord and stuff like that.
Hi Fabio , could you create a video about monitors, explaining the various settings found in monitor menus? I'm particularly interested in understanding what causes monitor tearing, such as having a higher FPS than the monitor's capability or a lower FPS than the monitor's refresh rate. Additionally, I'd appreciate a guide on what qualities make a monitor good and what certain features are just marketing and what you actually think is worth to investing. thank you
Which displays would you get in Europe for 500🇪🇺 or less? 30+ inches 1440p preferred g-sync compatible Good motion handling . Not curved as I use it mostly for non gaming related stuff Decent warranty .
Just bought a new H32s from seeing this review but I thought the 34 was too big and I’m amazed at how good it is. Sh- man it’s really good I paid only $200 and it underrated itself it says it’s a 170 hz but it’s a 180 Hz when you use a DP
Yeah, that was a bad VA like I had before, this one is quite good, but you need to calibrate it as stated. Also, You don't like ultrawide because you never get used to it xD
I got this monitor but discovered at 165hz it's only 8bit color. It's 1ms response time only if you enable mprt and to do that you need to disable gsync/freesync. Hdr sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
Ive been watching you since 2020 , never commented 😅, i actually wanted to ask something that i have 6600xt ane 5600x , 32 gigs ram and B550m motherboard, actually whenever i download or update new or old drivers , every game stutters although i know it is because of shader cache and in some of the games it fixes after playing for sometime but still some games stutter like Getting over it , pubg pc ( most ) , fortnite ( of course this game ) and Apex legends , as u know i watched your every video so i tried everything, disabled MPO ( helped in Spiderman ) , disabled core isolation , but still stutters are there , i tried everything but one thing is left that is to update bios So can u help me? What can i do??

How was the motion blurring? I have a great GPU, but there are still titles that will sit around 60-70hz(or FPS) instead of 80-120hz and that's a completely playable and good experience on an IPS. However with this monitor I worry that when I play games at around 60-70hz that the motion blurring and black smearing will not look the greatest. Is it still a good image, or would you recommend an upscaling to make sure you're hitting higher frames on this monitor? Even games that drop to 40 or so just due to poor optimization, would the blurring get to a point of annoyance? I wish this monitor was really tested at all varying framerates to see how good it actually is for a VA panel. Of course there's limitations, but I want to know if it falls apart at lower hz/framerate. Overall, would you just simply recommend an IPS panel with these worries?
@@AncientGameplays Well there are some games that are really heavy on the CPU like simulation type ones that drop really in frames really easily to anywhere like 20-40 FPS where upscaling can't really help and FG would look really bad. Would IPS be better?
VA would be a hard pass for me, unless I were only using the monitor for watching video, but I appreciate you keeping us up to date on such deals. Thank you.
Between this right now and the ASUS VG34VQL1B monitor. I'm working with a 3080ti, 5900x. Want something that'd be good for gaming over DP, and I'd be able to watch anime on. What would you suggest?
@@Zombiesmoker I have a 7700XT and a 5800X3D. I don't want a demanding monitor. Ive never had curved or ultrawide. I think a 27 inch flat design will be enough, plus I have a small desk so i dont want the monitor to be closer to me than arm length. I was looking at options from Benq
Is 34" the sweetspot for 1440p ultrawide if I wanna avoid streched pixels? I got a 1440p 27" Benq EX2780Q IPS and Im still amazed at the color quality but would be the best size for 1440p ultrawide without lowering my pixel quality in your opinion guys?
Yup, exactly. Anything like 38" ultrawide and above will need 1660P or something like that. 34" UW = 27" + horizontal space (3440x1440 instead of 2560x1440)
Yeah this OEM monitor was selling under Thunderobot and DIGMA brends in my country. I've bought it for about 300 $ last august. The PSU is very loud(high frequency noise) under heavy load tho. Monitor itself weighs 6.5 kilos(without mount) - so you can use any wall mount that holds 7 kilos(for example NB F150). But back mount itself is a little bit tricky - might need to use spacers
Oh man, I really want to try an ultra wide and I'm thinking about jumping in the market for a second monitor. But I fear my desk, that I recently built myself, isn't quite big enough for a 27in and an ultra wide :(
hmm we dont have that brand at all here in denmark. do u know if they gonna come to more shops over time ? we dont have 1 single ktc monitor here. sounds verry good on the price so im verry curious :)
personally i'd prefer on/off not integrated into dongle (assumed it is, since it mostly is) and my question, does it do a good job switching sources? i have samsung LC27FG[...] type of display, but tbh it can often turn off on display signal loss (i use 2 pcs with same monitors) and it's not responding for like 10s, kinda iritating other than that, freesync is eyesearing (light greys are white, so i couldn't tell many elements apart) and colors are greenish, reducing black eqalizer like you did mostly helps with that and freesync disables all color changes, so no freesync for me, lol
@@AncientGameplays most probably bad implementation, it was kind of low price 144hz display from 6 years ago? so i'm kinda looking at possible 1440p upgrades
@@AncientGameplays Just checked pricing here (Poland), $299.99 for monitor and $219.70 for delivery, $519.69 overall now i perfectly know why amazon isn't a thing here
Hey, so I just got this monitor and I have one issue, the power button does not turn it on, no matter what I try, the only way for it to turn on is for me to boot up the PC and wait for the monitor to turn itself on. Do you also have this issue, or is mine faulty? I cant find anything on it
Im interested in a uw monitor for single player games but how i would be able to play cs2 on this monitor in curious :) also 7800xt can handle this in single players ?
7800XT is a GPU, also, it would work fine for CS2 and so on, I can't go back to 16:9 haha. IF you want the really big deal, then get an IPS monitor, but will cost you way more
@@AncientGameplays it isn't weird to play cs2 on UW so u Say . Interesting. You're right but i still need to check how modern games work on UW 1440p on ultra with this GPU, rn i have 27' classic 2560x1440 and it works pretty Nice. Thanks i will dig some benchs u did in uw with 7800xt If You did.
@@AncientGameplays i really want to try ultra-wide gaming HDR, but my budget just go to 1500 dolars, I got he 7900 GRE + Ryzen 7 7800x3D with really good offers
I've had both monitors and I feel like the AOC has somewhat more smearing than the ktc. Even though the Aoc has very impressive contrast with medium Dimming enabled, The blooming was too unnatural for me due to the low number of zones, Especially when watching sci fishows. Waiting for the next generation mini LED to drop any day now.
@@AncientGameplays Yeah G5's are average, my friends had them , I never had or saw G9 in action but I've been using 32" G7 for over 2 years now and just amazing , no smearing at all :D
great video and very well explained as always Fábio, it seems a great monitor. I have the C27G2ZE (1080p , 240hz) and a C24G2ZE (1080p 165hz) and i bought a 27G2AE/BK (1080p 144hz) with image problems, for 20€. Sent an email to AOC, and they said they didnt had the monitor available to replace, i suggested this replace by the Q27G2S (1440p, 165hz) and they sent me a new one this week. 🤣🤣. But i have a doubt. I have a R9 Fury Oc wich has 1.2DP, and the 1080p 240hz , and works well paired with other 1080p 165hz. Now i have the 27 1440p 165hz with 1.4DP, and my hz only goes up to 144hz on the 1440p display , and the image starts to shake and flickering. Is it because of the lack of 1.4DP on the gpu wich has only 1.2Dp version?
Well, I would say you'll no troubles. The max that can happen is the idle power draw in some cases. I have AMD cards in dual monitors here with not a single issue
@@AncientGameplays my xtx has been brilliant but my friends one didn’t let him run 2 monitors with that difference in refresh rate. He changed one of them and everything went smooth. He had stutters and driver crashes. Just changing the monitor so it almost matched his other one refresh rate fixed it. I don’t mind the idle power if it’s only that
@@AncientGameplaysIt's very good model 34gb850b. I did pay 899 euro, Saturn Germany! I had had 9 stuck pixels, I did change, for a new one, now its flawless.
@@AncientGameplays Only thing I have ever done in BIOS id XMP Profile 1. That's it. Would that do anything? I thought I read somewhere that Adrenaline was having this issue though idk.
Regarding the freesync-flickering: my Benq EX3501R can sometimes behave like a flashlight in SOS mode when you use Freesync in games that have terrible frame-stability. I still experience this, but it's definitely better since it got a firmware udpate (had to ship it to the manufacturer) and bough a decent DP cable. If somene want's to know - problem was most prominent in garage in Worl of Tanks and while watching the loading screen in Warzone.
Oh, even though you already have an UW. Can we now get more (NOT EVERY VIDEO) Benchmarks for 3440*1440p? There are no high subscriber count TH-camrs like yourself, who present Ultrawide information on games.
Boa Fábio! Bela review, conteúdo diferente e pouco obscuro no mercado dos monitores. Em que só se fala das grandes marcas. Podias era testar um IPS também lowcost o koorui 2k ips, que tem boas reviews na Amazon. Abraço e boa continuação!
Obrigado, normalmente a KTC tem enviado monitores por isso tenho feito reviews, alguns são melhores outros piores, mas em geral têm bastante bom preço/qualidade, só falta venderam mais na europa
@@AncientGameplays pois, compreendo. Os painéis VA como referiste e bem têm problemas. No meu noto quando estou algumas horas a jogar e parece que os Hz baixam do nada. E depois ando ignorante a pensar que tenho outro componente danificado. Enfim. Com painéis VA ando um pouco atrás para escolher agora.
I know im gonna get hate for this but i dont like ultra wide but it not because its not competitive in games it just make so many games so hard to run its basically like playing in 4k

I got an MSI G32CQ4 E2 for 350 CAD VA panels are awesome and your eyes adjust the ghosting in about a week.
Better to not have ghosting though.
Great deal 🎉
I have a 27" ktc OLED
absolutely beautiful 😍
the G27P6? Awesome for the price as well!
@@AncientGameplays yes exactly this model 🤩
Yeah this OEM monitor was selling under Thunderobot and DIGMA brends in my country. I've bought it for about 300 $ last august. The PSU is very loud(high frequency noise) under heavy load tho.
Monitor itself weighs 6.5 kilos(without mount) - so you can use any wall mount that holds 7 kilos(for example NB F150). But back mount itself is a little bit tricky - might need to use spacers
Strange indeed, the KTC one has no such issues, doesn't even have active cooling (doesn't need it)
@@AncientGameplays PSU is 24v 7A right? I think it's random - some coils inside PSU are making this whine noise
Wait what???? 250 is a steal
Great find, Fabio
Thanks, i was impressed as well
Can you share your mic setup? It sounds so premium and crisp. Hopefully not too expensive.😅
Sounds crap in this video as I didn't use the pop filter. Its a blue ember
Oh man, I really want to try an ultra wide and I'm thinking about jumping in the market for a second monitor. But I fear my desk, that I recently built myself, isn't quite big enough for a 27in and an ultra wide :(
You can get a vesa mount, just got one and literally mounted this monitor on it like 20 minutes ago haha
Another video, another like I drop. I cannot watch it, working right now, I'll watch it later, anyway each video is pure gold.
Thanks!
does the monitors power adapter come with the american 3 prong cord or do you have to buy a replacement cord?
hmm we dont have that brand at all here in denmark. do u know if they gonna come to more shops over time ? we dont have 1 single ktc monitor here. sounds verry good on the price so im verry curious :)
Have you serached on amazom? They have some there, not this one for europe yet sadly
do they do an IPS version of this? I can't use VA panels me the ghosting and smearing always bothers me so bad on them
That's why I stated ans showed in the UFO that this one has almost none. They do have lots of ips panels though
@@AncientGameplays I'll check out their ips range then never been able to get used to a VA panel great vid tho
personally i'd prefer on/off not integrated into dongle (assumed it is, since it mostly is) and my question, does it do a good job switching sources?
i have samsung LC27FG[...] type of display, but tbh it can often turn off on display signal loss (i use 2 pcs with same monitors) and it's not responding for like 10s, kinda iritating
other than that, freesync is eyesearing (light greys are white, so i couldn't tell many elements apart) and colors are greenish, reducing black eqalizer like you did mostly helps with that and freesync disables all color changes, so no freesync for me, lol
Freesync must be bugging with your monitor
@@AncientGameplays most probably bad implementation, it was kind of low price 144hz display from 6 years ago? so i'm kinda looking at possible 1440p upgrades
@@AncientGameplays Just checked pricing here (Poland), $299.99 for monitor and $219.70 for delivery, $519.69 overall now i perfectly know why amazon isn't a thing here
@@1Grainer1 damn, that's insane lol
KTC have a ~100 usd ips 1080p 144hz which is actually pretty decent monitor
What game is playing in the background? Looks fun.
Ghostrunner
very hard to find this in a lot of country's
yes, here in austria not possible to get
Yeah, this one is still US so far it seems, but will come to more countries
505 Bugerinos in Germany...
I got the spectre 34 in UW 1440p monitor for the same price and I love it.
Great!
I actually just sold my old pc with a i7-12700kf and a rx 7900 xt and I'm going to build a new one with a 7800x3d and 4080 super
I have an LG UltraGear 32GK650F-B, but I always want to try an ultrawide monitor. Maybe someday I'll buy one :)
You would never want to go back haha
Hey, so I just got this monitor and I have one issue, the power button does not turn it on, no matter what I try, the only way for it to turn on is for me to boot up the PC and wait for the monitor to turn itself on. Do you also have this issue, or is mine faulty? I cant find anything on it
Seems like a faulty monitor for sure
@@AncientGameplays thanks
Im interested in a uw monitor for single player games but how i would be able to play cs2 on this monitor in curious :) also 7800xt can handle this in single players ?
7800XT is a GPU, also, it would work fine for CS2 and so on, I can't go back to 16:9 haha.
IF you want the really big deal, then get an IPS monitor, but will cost you way more
@@AncientGameplays it isn't weird to play cs2 on UW so u Say . Interesting. You're right but i still need to check how modern games work on UW 1440p on ultra with this GPU, rn i have 27' classic 2560x1440 and it works pretty Nice. Thanks i will dig some benchs u did in uw with 7800xt If You did.
Just got this for $222.00 on Amazon
iv got an lg 60hz ultra wide and this looks great to add
Would be a major uplift
I have the AOC Q27G3XMN, the black smearing is really not that noticeable or non-existent on Black backgrounds on 120hz-180hz overdrive pre-set Medium
Yeah, in this one it gets more noticeable only below 90-100Hz
@@AncientGameplays i really want to try ultra-wide gaming HDR, but my budget just go to 1500 dolars, I got he 7900 GRE + Ryzen 7 7800x3D with really good offers
I really want to try ultra-wide, but I don't think my equipment can't keep 120hz stable on ultra settings.
@@AncientGameplays I got 7900 gre + Ryzen 7 7800X3D with all peripheral with really good offers to 1500 dollars
I've had both monitors and I feel like the AOC has somewhat more smearing than the ktc. Even though the Aoc has very impressive contrast with medium Dimming enabled, The blooming was too unnatural for me due to the low number of zones, Especially when watching sci fishows. Waiting for the next generation mini LED to drop any day now.
can someone tell me what is the game at 0:50? Nice video tech jesus 2 (after steve from GN)
Ghostrunner
Its ghost runner
You should make a video on the H32 too I wanted to buy the one from your link but I really wanted a 32 inch for 1440p
Was gonna get this for my Xbox series X since it's 1440p and can handle above 120hz plus HDR support
Hdr is very basic here, not worth it IMO. Also, this needs display port to push 165Hz
Hey man, you should try Samsung Odyssey G7, it's on a different level when it comes to VA panels 😁😁
Actually, according to what I saw they aren't. Only the G7 and G9 are, G5s are a bit bad
@@AncientGameplays Yeah G5's are average, my friends had them , I never had or saw G9 in action but I've been using 32" G7 for over 2 years now and just amazing , no smearing at all :D

yoooooo

Not available in Europe ?
Not yet, but will I believe
Can please you review the AJVXI 34 inch monitor IPS 180 hz i saw one for 300 dollars and it's too good to be true for me😂😂😂
great video and very well explained as always Fábio, it seems a great monitor. I have the C27G2ZE (1080p , 240hz) and a C24G2ZE (1080p 165hz) and i bought a 27G2AE/BK (1080p 144hz) with image problems, for 20€. Sent an email to AOC, and they said they didnt had the monitor available to replace, i suggested this replace by the Q27G2S (1440p, 165hz) and they sent me a new one this week. 🤣🤣. But i have a doubt. I have a R9 Fury Oc wich has 1.2DP, and the 1080p 240hz , and works well paired with other 1080p 165hz. Now i have the 27 1440p 165hz with 1.4DP, and my hz only goes up to 144hz on the 1440p display , and the image starts to shake and flickering. Is it because of the lack of 1.4DP on the gpu wich has only 1.2Dp version?
I got mine like a year ago. ghosting is almost none . mines a diff one tho h32s17
.
Oh its the 32" version
Does it have a vesa mount?
Yes, will use mine today btw
I need a new desk. Currently having rog 34 but it’s old and 100hz. Can get another one now and have 2 of them but knowing AMD I’ll run into trouble 😅.
Well, I would say you'll no troubles. The max that can happen is the idle power draw in some cases. I have AMD cards in dual monitors here with not a single issue
@@AncientGameplays my xtx has been brilliant but my friends one didn’t let him run 2 monitors with that difference in refresh rate. He changed one of them and everything went smooth. He had stutters and driver crashes. Just changing the monitor so it almost matched his other one refresh rate fixed it. I don’t mind the idle power if it’s only that
And this is another reason I like you ma man - promoting 21:9 style 😎👍
1 day... 1 day I will join the wide-club aswell. YEP
Do it haha
is this available in uk?
Not yet sadly...but will
Ohhhhhh yeah! It's Fabio hour. 😎🎉
Yeahhh
Se fosse 4k era a minha nova aquisição 😁
4k ultrawide a este preço? 1440P UW aqui é top
@@AncientGameplays sim este monitor em termos de relação preço/qualidade melhor é muito difícil (mesmo comparando usados)
they also have a qhd 240hz gaming monitor that im thinking about buying soon
Oled? I have one of those
@@AncientGameplays yeah it's this monitor of theirs KTC 27 Inch OLED Gaming Monitor, QHD 2560 x 1440, 240Hz
Very nice!!!
Indeed!
not sure i understood well, if I enable gsync on the monitor and in nvidiaapp, i might have some of the things you said, brightnss fluctiations?
that might happens yes, but not in all scenarios. And some people don't even notice it
@@AncientGameplays ok, thanks for the response bud, awesome vid!
Just got this very monitor for $240 due to Prime Day!
Great!
What type of panel do you have?
What do you mean
Thank You!
But i love LG! ❤
This is my monitor, LG 34GP950!
My main is the 34gb850b, but cost me 750 euros...
@@AncientGameplaysIt's very good model 34gb850b.
I did pay 899 euro, Saturn Germany!
I had had 9 stuck pixels, I did change, for a new one, now its flawless.
the manual says the usb port is only for firmware updates, so I won't be able to plug my keyboard into it or usb speaker into it?
To plug your keyboard there you would need kvm switching
@@AncientGameplays Thanks!
Adrenaline. What's the deal with it keeping the CPU stuck on OC? Even after changes and reboot. LMK if you have a video addressing this. Thank you.
what do you mean by "stuck", static OC
@@AncientGameplays shows CPU in OC already on Adrenaline. I make changes to bring it back to no OC and reboot the system and it stays in OC CPU mode.
@@acoldcorpse8469 because you're doing some OC on the BIOS dude... aren't you?
@@AncientGameplays Only thing I have ever done in BIOS id XMP Profile 1. That's it. Would that do anything? I thought I read somewhere that Adrenaline was having this issue though idk.
that's odd indeed, something's off
Is this good for new gen console gaming?
@@OverdoseOverObligation would be decent at least yeah, great for the price even
@@AncientGameplays appreciate the time and effort to give informative content
Does it have built in speakers?
I so state it doesn't sadly
What about input lag
Its perfectly good there
Regarding the freesync-flickering:
my Benq EX3501R can sometimes behave like a flashlight in SOS mode when you use Freesync in games that have terrible frame-stability.
I still experience this, but it's definitely better since it got a firmware udpate (had to ship it to the manufacturer) and bough a decent DP cable.
If somene want's to know - problem was most prominent in garage in Worl of Tanks and while watching the loading screen in Warzone.
The issue here is not freesync flickering, it is brightness shifting :D
It becomes flickering when it shifts 60 times per second :)
Looking into 60inch 4k or less resolution tv at 120 hz free sync can u look at tvs for pc gaming?
Can I run a 4k tv at say 1080p? Or 2k?
What do you noob think "2k" is?
at this price, it doesnt really matter about how accurate the color is or if it has backlight bleed
it has actually matters, as it is very good for the price!
Oh, even though you already have an UW. Can we now get more (NOT EVERY VIDEO) Benchmarks for 3440*1440p? There are no high subscriber count TH-camrs like yourself, who present Ultrawide information on games.
VRR flicker?
Nope, all right here. Just that brightness issue I spoke about, mostly va issue
Anyone know where to find divers?
Boa Fábio! Bela review, conteúdo diferente e pouco obscuro no mercado dos monitores. Em que só se fala das grandes marcas. Podias era testar um IPS também lowcost o koorui 2k ips, que tem boas reviews na Amazon. Abraço e boa continuação!
Obrigado, normalmente a KTC tem enviado monitores por isso tenho feito reviews, alguns são melhores outros piores, mas em geral têm bastante bom preço/qualidade, só falta venderam mais na europa
@@AncientGameplays pois, compreendo. Os painéis VA como referiste e bem têm problemas. No meu noto quando estou algumas horas a jogar e parece que os Hz baixam do nada. E depois ando ignorante a pensar que tenho outro componente danificado. Enfim. Com painéis VA ando um pouco atrás para escolher agora.
Doesnt look like anybody stocks this in the UK 😢
It will sell in europe in the second half of this year they said

My friend, does our right have 10 billion colors?
Ugh a VA. I've got one, and I regret not buying a IPS panel
Nah, you have a shitty VA panel, like I had in the past and made a video about it, as I stated, this one surprised me positively
@@AncientGameplays good to know. I'll keep that in mind. I thought al va panels had bad smearing
I bought this monitor not realizing it doesn’t have speakers of any sort.
I thought it had them as well
I know im gonna get hate for this but i dont like ultra wide but it not because its not competitive in games it just make so many games so hard to run its basically like playing in 4k
Not really. 4k is much heavier
pls cut the low end from your audio track (your voice). you keep spiking my subwoofer.
I forgot to use the pop filter, that's why. If you see my older videos there's no such issue. Soz
Pity its not in the uk
True...
If it aint a 1440p SUW miniled ips with at least 144hz i dont want it but thats still years away probably
bit shame its va, check lenovo r270q 30 it only cost 218
But that's 27" and most likely 1080P? Also, va is not bad here as stated. I was definitely impressed
@@AncientGameplays 1440P, 165 hz, IPS, full ergo, and also has good color calibration.
Its a VA panel, it is selling at what its worth.
Nah, not really, there are way more expensive options, and as I stated, i don't like VA panels and I was impressed
