Came back to this video to say 'Thank you for your advice'. This was one of the reviews that prompted me to buy the monitor in January 2020, shortly before the pandemic put the UK into lockdown. It has been my daily driver for many many hours per day since then. Appreciate the depth and clarity of your review.
I"m currently using a "AOC Q2963PM 29-inch IPS 21:9 60HZ 2560x1080 " Ultrawide Monitor, I only paid $400USD for it on amazon I really love this monitor & the wide aspect ratio you get from having a ultrawide monitor, if have a ultrawide monitor I highly suggest playing "Shadow of the tomb raider"- the game supports 21:9 ultrawide monitors in both the cutscenes & gameplay it is an amazing PC Port imo!
Great video as always my man, but quick question about the monitor that wasn't covered. As it is a VA panel, whats the ghosting like? Was it noticeable in gaming situations?
I have owned this model for about a year now, only downside the the 100hz and 4ms response times is not the greatest for gaming but works well, going for a 2nd monitor 1440p 144hz 1ms soon
Homework for the Yes Man: Test, Overclock and increase Freesync range monitors so LFC is activated. Many LG ultrawides normaly allow 30-75Hz so the 2.5x ratio permits Low Frame Compensation. Believe me, this is important not just for me. (Imagine the hustle upsale potential *hint hint*)
currently using 2 - flat 27" Asus 1440P for DAW/Video/Graphics/Animation work. thinking about this in-between the 27"ers. excellent review! currently $673.99 - Prime Day soon!
Bought one for myself a couple of weeks back, thankfully at a discount price of 598 Euros. Couldn't be happier, what an extremely fortunate decision. Coming from a 40" TV with massive input lag and ghosting, and it not being a ultrawide display, the downgrade to this in screen royalty was actually very welcomed due to the overall qualities of the BenQ. I would 100% recommend this if you're looking for a cheaper option to all those near 1k ultrawide displays from bigger brands!
I have always liked Ultra Wide monitors. Too bad one wouldn't fit on my current desk set up. But, that doesn't mean one won't fit with a little shifting of items. Good video Bryan. I have always liked your way of showing the positives and negatives of a video.
Currently Rocking a LG 34UC79G 2560x1080 144hz Freesync with a rx 580 with hopes of upgrading to Navi next year purchased monitor for less than 390 pounds here in the UK and well worth the money
Went from a 2560x1440 to a 3440x1440. Got a X34P brand new for £630, so that's about 790 USD or 1,100 AUD. Saw the special and jumped. Took a few weeks to get to me, but it was worth the tension of whether it was new and what condition it would arrive in haha. It's outdated a bit. No HDR support or USB C which aren't total let downs but would have been great to have, mostly the USB C. Not done any editing of any kind yet on this but I am looking forward to it!
I love BenQ! I wish they would make a 25" or 27" with 1440p and 144hz IPS monitor. They got the power to do it. They also love the Gaming community so I really don't understand why they don't make one.
@@darkspl BenQ Zowie XL2546. That´s what I´m using now. It´s a Gaming Monitor but good for daily use also. It´s a 1080p TN Monitor with 240hz Refresh rate. I have come to the conslusing that there is no perfect monitor. The perfect monitor is two monitors.
I've been rocking 3x AOC 2369VM monitors for several years now. So 1080p 60Hz. Not sure when, or if I'd go with ultrawide or high refresh rate monitors. Gaming comes second for me, and my setup works for me, so I'm in no rush.
Currently on the LG 25" ultrawide @75hz. After having used ultrawide, I don't think i'll be going back to 16:9. I plan my next monitor to actually be this: 34" (or35"), 3440x1440, VA, Freesync and 120hz (or 100hz). Just waiting for amd to get their shit together on the gpu side so i can something decent that can do that kind of resolution at those refresh refresh rates. My 470 does very well for my current ultrawide with the games I play, but I know for sure that once I increase the resolution, it's going to cap out. So i'll just wait it out a bit.
Have it now for almost a year and still happy! Factory setting is a bit washed out, the contrast is to low. Had to improve it over the nvidia control panel. it also does "frame skipping" if you set it to 100 Hz -> had to put it to 99Hz. The simulated HDR picture setting is best for me...really improves normal SDR content.
I'm using a LG 34UC79G for a while now, 144hz 2560 x 1080, and i cant go back to anything like 16:9. I'm using ultrawide for a long time before it, but the 144hz is amazing!
I have the Benq EX3200R 144hz monitor,, and is is hands down the best monitor i have ever owned,, even beating out the asus monitor i had ,, zero bluring and my tested input lag was 5 ms.. maybe because its only a 32inch panel so being smaller and also its a 1080P monitor ,, both of those things maybe the reason for a slightly quicker input lag time.. im no expert.. but none the less it is excellent and build quality is excellent..
Well if you get a 240hz monitor be prepared to buy 2 2080ti because there is no video card made that will play for example BFV @ a sustained 240fps ,, which is only the first problem,, the second problem is BFV is frame capped @ 200 fps,, you see my point here ? 240hz monitor for gaming is simply a waste because it cannot be used... as to why 99% of pro gamers use a 144hz monitor..
AlexTheSniper19 BF4 is also capped at 200 FPS,,, COD also capped at 200 FPS,,, See it is simply not a Viable solution .. and remember even BF4 ya still have to be able to run it @ 240 FPS and ya would t be able to tell the difference between that and 144hz...
Buying a monitor nowdays is such a gamble.. I bought 3 700€+ monitors and each and every one of them had dead/stuck pixels.. One was Alienware (au optronics panel) and 2 were LG (lg panel).. This monitor seems nice but is also au optronics.. I returned all 3 monitors and didn't bother buying them anymore since I spent 50€ on shipping them back (for the alienware one i was refunded only 80% because of some fucking scratch).. and who know how many days waiting for the shipment, unpacking it and packing it back.. the quality controls when it comes to display is terrible.. I just can't believe that spending $900 on a monitor isn't enough to be guaranteed you won't get a dead pixel..
Great Video! Would you still recommend this one? I'm looking for one for only photo editing and video editing? Or can you name something else I should look at?
D-pad OSD _or_ software control or gtfo, I say. I remember the pain of using all those buttons and pressing the wrong button quits the menu. My LG 29" ultrawide monitor has a d-pad and I'm likely never looking back. As for support, the only game recently I have ran into that doesn't support ultrawide would be Crash Bandicoot. I don't use it on there because the workaround makes it stretched and squatty and no thanks to that. Ultrawide+IPS is the way to go
The Predator X34P 34 is on for the same price atm and it does 120Hz G-Sync; so yeah I would go with that if I did already have a Acer Predator XR341CK. I'll wait for affordable 3840 x 1600 that can do 90-100hz.
The LG 34GK950F-B is a better monitor for about 200.00 more. It has a nano-ips panel., not a lower end VA. It also give 144 us rather than 100. Good video though informative and for the money a decent monitor for sure.
I went through 4 950Fs the amount of IPS glow, BLB, or a combination of both is insane. Very disappointed in the quality control. This also sells for $655 on amazon as opposed to $1200 of the 950F (which occasionally goes on sale for $1000)
I've looked into the AOC AG352UCG6 and the HP Omen X in this range which both use the same VA panel (with the HPs being a slightly older version) Due to the need for G Sync as opposed to freesync. Have you done any comparison of those two or any others that would fit into that category because I'm having real trouble deciding. (And to answer previous questions they will all oc to 120htz whether advertised or not because they are all the same panel by the same manufacturer) *edit* I think the only real difference is design, calibration (and its software), and the amount of cherry picking each company will or wont do when selecting their panels. Reviews of the AOC suggest that AOC does a good job of weeding out light bleed in their selections - as appears to be the case with BenQ. Personally I wish I'd never even realised what light bleed is because once you know it's there it's going to annoy you for ETERNITY
Good video, this happens every time I want to watch a monitor video, if it's G-sync then it's great but expensive, if it's freesync then I'm not interested because I have an NVIDIA gpu that can't utilise it's features. I just wish NVIDIA could be toppled for just long enough, that G-sync would end, and freesync would be 'the' technology in basically all monitors, so we can have competitive priced good refresh monitors that everyone would buy.
How bout a review on the cheap Sceptre 32in 1080p curved monitor? I'm on a super budget and wondering how that is. I'm more curious on the 1080p versions, cause the 4k ones went back up in price.
I am using a 1080p 144Hrz monitor that’s 28 inches with 1 ms response time and free sync that I paid 330$ CAD for and I am satisfied. BTW I think that paying 1000$ for a monitor is a bit too much
I'm using a 27" Samsung curved display that I got for $169 on Amazon. It is a VA panel, 1080p. Only 60hz, but I love it and so does my wallet. No way I can afford Gsync.
Really close call, both are excellent, probs go with whatever is cheaper in your area? I personally love cinema mode on the XG35VQ for enjoying games, though the BenQ Has better VESA Mount support and with enough time you could tune a contrasty saturated mode like the ASUS. I probably left you with more questions then answers :(.
This monitor is currently $550 USD. In this price range would this be your top choice or would you go with something else? If something else I would love to know what and why. Appreciate the help if you see this.
Awesome monitor but I went for lg one cuz I don't game on it so 100hz doesn't matter I got separate 144hz monitor for gaming and lg one looks sexy with thin bezel and sweet aluminium stand
I've got this monitor and the colour pallete is a bit too washed out for my liking also the picture doesn't look as sharp as it should for some reason.
Bad things for me: No vesa mount. Dubious hdr, some would say that what they are doing is lying outright since the minimum for hdr is 400 nits and this maximum is only 300 nits. What are you doing benq?
Random Interjection: I really wish Samsung would bite the G sync bullet and open this field further beyond Alienware and Asus overpricing. I didn't blow my wad (pun intended) on an RTX 2080ti to have it scuppered by inferior sync. My Samsung NU7400 TV has ZERO light bleed and the black is so black that the only way I have of telling whether I've left the TV on even in a dark room is when the time flashes up on the screen. Aside from the extra refresh, sync, and response required for gaming THIS is what I want in a monitor. Come ON Samsung it's not like you can't afford it.
What about this is HDR? its a 8 bit panel (not even 8bit+frc) 300 nits and no local dimming, it just has a chip telling it how to interpret HDR signal. These guys should be called out for the lies they put in their description no matter how the product performs in sdr content...
Incredible monitor. Sofar i haven´t been able to charge devices from the USB inputs of the monitor. USB-C does charge my mouse but micro-USB doesn 't charge my Logitech K810 keyboard? Any ideas?
What kind of video card would you recommend for this if running a Windows 10 PC? I don't game and would only do light editing in lightroom. Looking for something cheap that doesnt use a lot of power but could still power two monitors if needed. thanks!
Hi Can you please review the AOC CQ32G1 31.5 inch / 144hz FreeSync / QHD Monitor .....its currently $469 AUD... OR what can you recommend in the same price range... Ta
Does this monitor properly support 2560x1080 resolution for dropping your 21:9 res for demanding games? Not all 3440x1440 ultrawides can do this and its a real shame and a critical flaw. 3440x1440 games on average require a RTX 2060, GTX 1080 or a Vega 56 minimum. Otherwise your dropping all your quality settings and defeating the purpose of playing at such a resolution. The MSI Mag341CQ is one monitor that is fantastic, but cannot do 2560x1080 properly.
I bought this monitor BenQ EX3501R and have Nvidia Geforce 680 on Windows 7 .... I cannot choose the option 100hz in settings (there is only 60Hz) ... I'm hooked on the Displayport 1.4 cable ... Could you help me to solve this problem?
I have 3 LG IPS 32 inch panels that cost me less ($500) than this one monitor. That's why I won't buy these ultrawide monitors. I wanted one but the price is stupid. Granted this has Freesync and a higher resolution but still.
Can you run it at a full 144hz on a lower resolution? I play arena FPS competitively so i need the full refresh rate when i am playing those games but it would be nice to have ultrawide when i am not.
@@betrion7 yeh i was looking at this one but sadly all shops that where selling it in my country doesn't have it anymore, hope it will be back to stock or maybe LG will release new model.

Check out the Alienware Aw3418dw. The best monitor available currently. 3440x1440 120hz gsync ips
My Chg90 32:9 144hz HDR10, 600nit only has warranty in 2 years from Samsung Vietnam. BenQ 3 years is better. Chg90 cost me 1k2 usd in Vietnam.
Random Interjection: I really wish Samsung would bite the G sync bullet and open this field further beyond Alienware and Asus overpricing. I didn't blow my wad (pun intended) on an RTX 2080ti to have it scuppered by inferior sync. My Samsung NU7400 TV has ZERO light bleed and the black is so black that the only way I have of telling whether I've left the TV on even in a dark room is when the time flashes up on the screen. Aside from the extra refresh, sync, and response required for gaming THIS is what I want in a monitor. Come ON Samsung it's not like you can't afford it.
USD$770 = AUD$1179.68 before companies add the aussie tax
Would it not just be cheaper to get 3 monitors together
It is but that is not what is about
Whats the data color you are using. Am looking to get the spider5 elite.. is the one you are using better?
Thanks in advanced
Still rocking an Acer XF270hu 1440p 144hz.
1440p 144hz is the perfect monitor at present
Hello! between this benq and the huawei mateview GT which one would you choose? I'd use it mostly for office and multitasking use. Thank you
BenQ Ex3501R or Samsung C34J791? Or any other suggestions in that price area for gaming and office work
What about this is HDR? its a 8 bit panel (not even 8bit+frc) 300 nits and no local dimming, it just has a chip telling it how to interpret HDR signal. These guys should be called out for the lies they put in their description no matter how the product performs in sdr content...
Incredible monitor. Sofar i haven´t been able to charge devices from the USB inputs of the monitor. USB-C does charge my mouse but micro-USB doesn 't charge my Logitech K810 keyboard? Any ideas?
What do you think of the Kogan 34" 1440p 21:9 100HZ monitor? has a samsung VA panel ? only $599
What kind of video card would you recommend for this if running a Windows 10 PC? I don't game and would only do light editing in lightroom. Looking for something cheap that doesnt use a lot of power but could still power two monitors if needed. thanks!
Hey! How well does it handle Gsync now that freesync monitors are supported by Nvidia? Thanks.
The new LG ultrawiden is the best one out by far
I’ve got the Viotek model with the same specs but was $200 cheaper
Benq screens are usually quite good.
Hi Can you please review the AOC CQ32G1 31.5 inch / 144hz FreeSync / QHD Monitor .....its currently $469 AUD...
OR what can you recommend in the same price range... Ta
What graphic card notebook would you suggest to run a BenQ EX3501R monitor?
Does this monitor properly support 2560x1080 resolution for dropping your 21:9 res for demanding games? Not all 3440x1440 ultrawides can do this and its a real shame and a critical flaw. 3440x1440 games on average require a RTX 2060, GTX 1080 or a Vega 56 minimum. Otherwise your dropping all your quality settings and defeating the purpose of playing at such a resolution. The MSI Mag341CQ is one monitor that is fantastic, but cannot do 2560x1080 properly.
I bought this monitor BenQ EX3501R and have Nvidia Geforce 680 on Windows 7 .... I cannot choose the option 100hz in settings (there is only 60Hz) ... I'm hooked on the Displayport 1.4 cable ... Could you help me to solve this problem?
Your GPU is probably too old, sorry. You need 10 or 20 series Nvidia card.
No vesa mounts. Seriously!! Why BenQ??
There is a bracket you need to buy separately, it worked with previously version of this monitor, which is XR3501, 1080p.
If you don’t use free sync can you still get 100 hz?
I have 3 LG IPS 32 inch panels that cost me less ($500) than this one monitor. That's why I won't buy these ultrawide monitors. I wanted one but the price is stupid.
Granted this has Freesync and a higher resolution but still.
The Curved screen,always a fly in the ointment!
How well does it do on nvidia cards? I have a gtx 1070
Can you run it at a full 144hz on a lower resolution? I play arena FPS competitively so i need the full refresh rate when i am playing those games but it would be nice to have ultrawide when i am not.
no
Hello friend, I have bought that monitor and I can't put the 100 HZ on it, it only accepts 60, do you know how to do it?
What I don't understand is why do they always make it curved.
It's really annoying.
why luminance target 160 not 120? im using SRGB profile and 25 Brightness.
currently using a dell s2716gd 1440p 144hz panel that now has 3 stuck pixels i should deal with
Hi, can i use this monitor with a RTX 2070? Does It suppport G-sync?
No g sync not ips panel. Would work for my Nvidia gpu . Next .....
i want ultrawide productivity monitor whit 144mhz :(
does that monitor have integrated ram maybe?
@@cobbyc2087 well there's one model that i found from LG , g-synch 120mhz IPS
well thats weird
There you go: LG 34GK950F
@@betrion7 yeh i was looking at this one but sadly all shops that where selling it in my country doesn't have it anymore, hope it will be back to stock or maybe LG will release new model.
I'd love ultrawide, but my most played game (starcraft 2) doesn't support it.
@UnFazeablE 7 but starcraft 2 absolutely doesn't, and I play that 99% of the time.
