4:00. The short answer is. That is the exact frequency a 144 Hz Panel actually runs that. Just like a 60 frame panel will actually have a 59.49 optimal frequency range. It's kind of like g-sync. It's lining the frames up with the display frequency. Which makes it look smoother because you're getting more information per second. And it prevents frame tearing. By which some part of the frame is different from the rest of the display panel. Causing the picture to look split. Which vsync also gets rid of. But increases latency. So if you have the option to run at that slightly lower frequency. You should usually take it. For better fidelity with no latency penalty.

Monitors go to 143.856 because it's evenly divisible by the standard 23.976 framerate that has been used in movies forever.

4:30 - Having a tiny bezel allows for manufacturing tolerances. Getting those tolerances closer and closer to zero starts getting exponentially more expensive. The other option would be to bury the tolerances in screen resolution where you'd get 1430p to 1440p monitors with no interior bottom bezel. Personally, though, I prefer more pixels. I also prefer interior bezels under glass to exterior bezels on top of the glass. They're more seamless and attractive to my eye. Besides, you'd have to get rid of both types to make an edge to edge display.

The thin black bar above your bezel prevents you from losing some lines of pixels down there when you use the monitor based on your viewing angle.

Great review from Nicholas, covered everything I wanted to know.

so about that weird slight under/overshoot on refresh rates: the processor in the monitor isn't clocked at an even division of 120/144/240 or whatever you set. when the processor goes to make a subclock for the display's refresh rate, it gets as close as it can, but sometimes it doesn't get exact. some manufacturers probably do some firmware tricks to get the refresh rate displayed as a whole number, while others might just have the processor designed to clock at harmonics of the desired refresh rate. tl;dr: the clock of the monitor's processor isn't evenly divisible by your refresh rate, so you get decimals.

I use their 43” monitor with KVM and it does up to 60w of power to the laptop connected to it. It also supports my iPad Pro over usb c.

1:26 Aussie power plug in Canada, lol

This guy reminds me of the kid in Two and a half men. Great vid btw, nice to mention the KVM

8:13 - There is. The Acer Predator X21. This monitor seems like an OEM with different brands slapped on it, as Svive has one that's almost identical, except is has QDot, 65W PD over Type-C but no KVM.

Oh I was thinking about that laptop

Nice looking display and UW has its place but not for me. I was using a 55" but that was overkill. 27" is the sweet spot glad I didn't go larger or smaller.

32:9 ultimate race ? (Odessy Neo G9 BB 🤤 )

this lineup of gigabyte monitors is awesome in value. i really like them.

Gaming aside, I do this at home now. One of the HDMI inputs on my main display goes to an HDMI switch with my consoles on it. Granted, I don't have a big fancy PC, I'm not at 120/144 Hz. But, work computer, home computer, and my consoles are all on display with the same headphones (Astro A40's, usb goes to a switcher to between the two PC's with a cable I can swap out for the PS4 when needed). MIght not be showy or super polished, but it is 100% functional from the same chair. You can even turn up the volume on my audio interface to get audio from the consoles split out from the HDMI switch to some JBL speakers. Works for me :)

I've got the 27" version, which I absolutely adore. Work/ study stuff on my Macbook, GAMING on my Windows desktop, works great! One note, mine does do power delivery over USB-C, but not enough for my Macbook pro, which I still have to connect to wallpower separately.

I have the MB m1 pro and the power delivery is sufficient if I do not use any VM stuff. Which model do you use?

In 2016 I bought the holy grail of gaming monitors , the ASUS PG348Q and I am soo used to 34 inch 21:9 that a similar size 16:9 just feels like I’m looking at a CRT . The amount to screen you get with a 21:9 compared to 16:9 is hard to explain . Ot might not seem much but it actually is . Got to finally utilise the full capability of my monitor last year after getting a RTX 3070 . 3440x1440 is no joke

Very nice for the KVM!!!

YESSSS I've been waiting for this monitor review

This monitor also has a 27 inch variant available which is just as amazing. Highly recommend it!

1500r curved is beautiful at 34 inches. Flat is a little too wide. My AOC CU34G2X has very similar specs but a VA panel, grabbed it for $370 on black Friday and I'm in love. No dead pixels, 144hs freesync 1ms 21:9 Not sure why this monitor is never mentioned, great performance and again, the curved is perfect.

My best guess about why monitor aren't exactly at the refresh rate they are advertised would have to do with some kind of clock/multiplier situation, just like CPUs

I got a similar 3440x1440p 144hz 34” AOC monitor three years ago for $500. I’m surprised that this is now here as a great value for the same specs with the a built in KVM

Finally! A good looking high refresh ultrawide that isn't curved! Curved displays was such a big mistake.

The design is so similar to my G24F, I like it. Would I switch to M34WQ? Probably not, I'll need to upgrade my GPU first, but the specs/price ratio is very compelling.

8:25 that looked like 'duplicating' the displays rather than 'extending' it.. which explains the external display mirroring the laptop's lower resolution

Side note - if you want similar functionality the M27Q is a standard 1440p res at 170hz and has the same KVM functionality for much much less money

6:23 "How do I fist?" got me choking on my coffee rofl

I bought my current monitor, an Iiamya 34" Ultrawide with Fast-IPS, 144Hz Freesync at 3440x1440 in November 2020. I paid about the same [a little over £360, which is about USD$475 today]. It is an absolute beast and I'd absolutely recommend it for anyone looking for a similar option. While I know it at least wasn't available in the US back then [not sure now], it's still available in Europe for about the same price. It doesn't have a KVM, but I wasn't looking for one, and the only thing it was lacking [which is the same for this] was a curve, but it was _by far_ the cheapest 1440 ultrawide available to me [every other option was starting at like €800, but they were curved and everything else was similar or better].

I already have a 4k120 65in tv but I really want a a "wider" and faster monitor as well at 1440p since there aren't really super high resolution/hertz displays in this format. There's too many 34in monitors in this price range and they all seem to use the same panels but the prices always fluctuate so I never know which is the "best" one but I'm probably going to settle on a Samsung 34in from a year or two ago.

I like my g32qc but me and a few of my friends that all own new gigabyte monitors and we all have a problem with the nipple breaking after a few months. Mine I was playing and heard a springy twang and I checked around then felt the nipple which was slack. Also I hear quite a lot of cracking noises when I turn it off which is especially annoying when I had it in my room before I moved it. That being said it does look great

6:09 that's how i do. lean back and enjoy the game. i don't want to hunch over like some anxious kid

Have had this display for a few months and I absolutely love it. The only downside is that it doesn’t have enough power output to charge my laptop, so even though the KVM works flawlessly in switching between my laptop and gaming PC, I still have to run power to my laptop. All in all though, it’s a great monitor and I highly recommend it.

@@goudiejordan2 I have never had a curved monitor, so I can’t really compare it, but I would say as long as you sit in a reasonable distance from the monitor it’s a non issue.

For ultrawide monitor viewing optimization, buy a flushed monitor mount and you can have it as little as 2 inches from the wall. For me, this helps with the distance. If you are using a monitor stand, or desk mount stand, you could reduce the distance by 4-8 inches. It makes a huge difference so you don't have to sit all the way back in your chair.

Within a day of this coming out, display goes out of stock everywhere > followed by some retailers labeling it as discontinued

The inner bezel is nice if you have webcam on top of the screen- you don't cover useable space.

I have one of these and the built-in KVM is so convenient for going from work laptop to gaming PC, back & forth. I love it! Also, going from 60 to 144 or the first time after 13 yaers of PCgaming has been lifechanging. Holy fuck.

i dunno who this guy is but he’s so chill and cool

I bought the G34WQC VA panel 1500R Curve about 6 months ago for 700 australian..... Im still Impressed with it....

Literally just picked up the M27Q 2 weeks ago. Fantastic value, and works perfect for switching between my work laptop and my personal machine. Only gripe is no PD over the USBC

It's possible to make it PD if you really need it. You can use one of those cheap phone/laptop usb-c adapters which have usb-a, usb-c charging and hdmi ports. Adapter can be hidden under table when using usb-c extension cord

Lastly I connect laptop charger to adapter usb-c charging port. This combines monitor hdmi, usb devices and external power supply into one usb-c cable, it's a messy workaround but it works.

Did I miss how the laptop and desktop were both connected to the same port on the monitor for KVM? Buying a KVM that actually gives you the expected performance and results is tough. So if you have a 1440p 165hz (thru DP) monitor, ensuring a KVM is capable of passing that through isn’t as easy to identify as you would think. It’d be nice if more monitors included multiple Display Ports, like they do with HDMI. Unplugging and plugging in DP from my gaming PC to my work docking station puts a little wear and tear on my GPU DP ports. I just switched over to HDMI for using my monitor with my work docking station, so I don’t have to keep swapping up the DP. 144hz at 1440p is perfectly fine.

I got this monitor a few weeks ago. I've been enjoying it

The display being just a few millimeters from the bezel is a great thing. When the display is right on the plastic bezel, there will be viewing angles where a line of pixels can be obscured by the plastic, which is super annoying to me because it looks really distracting. I have an M32U so it's basically the same monitor design, but in 16:9, and if it weren't for that extra millimeter of black space between the bezel and screen, I would have to adjust the screen angle every time I reclined back in my chair. That shit would be so annoying.
