Hi all,

Need recommendation for ultra wide monitor with specs as following:

- ultra wide 34"
- 29:1 3440x1440p
- curved
- High refresh rate and low response time as possible as according to budget
- Games: Dota2, CSGO, Ragnarok
- Usage: Netflix, web browsing and some light microsoft office works.

Budget RM2k or below

Currently looking at the Gigabyte g34wqc and Xiao Mi Curved 34" Gaming Monitor. Just wanna know if there are better alternative out there that fit in my budget.

Thanks all in advance

please open 20 threads of same title.

Closed the other one.

I vote for Xiomi.

i bought a xiaomi recently.. all i can say is fantastic for the price point

if you are up for high refresh rate and dont mind a bit of ghosting and to sacrifice some color accuracy

xiaomi is the way to go, see review below




Review for G34WQC



Gamer Nexus also did a round up of monitors in 2020, including ultrawide monitors

For budget RM 2k, I think Xiaomi is the best, I personally seen it, not bad for that price. Can consider.

You can check out at Xiaomi store.

I watched all those 3 reviews already haha! I mean on the paper the Gigabyte seem better than the xiaomi.

The hardware unboxed reviews TLDR:-

Video edit, better colors, better build quality - go for xiao mi
Gaming, better contrast ratio, lower response time - Go for Gigabyte

Honestly i'm still in dilemma in between these 2. Meanwhile to seem recommendations if there are better alternative

Yeah been looking around shopee. mi is around 1700~1900 whereas Gigabyte is around 1900~2000 price point.

Still looking around if there are better options

Dont focus on what the monitors offer, focus on what you need then compare to features. Pay more for a cutting edge monitor is useless if non of the features is any use to you. Then consider warranty claim process etc. And lastly availability. Thats how i narrowed down to my final choice on xiaomi.

if sell below RM 1700 the xiaomi monitor, confirm is AP set

i bought Xiaomi quite satisfied

Can someone confirm this on Xiaomi screen

Does it have black dimming issue

I.e when you scroll a page with black background and white font.. does the text looks blur when you scroll?

And only readable once stopped scrolling?
