This was my main reason for purchasing it and it works great.=Conclusion=Things I like:Small bezelsCool designWorks as describedInstant on, no Asus LogoThings I don't like:I wish it was black lolMenu buttons (not joystick) feel very cheap.Things I'm neutral towards:That red light thing at the bottom. I can have a window be the size of my other monitor and then also have other stuff going on. I use the Creation Kit for Fallout 4 and photoshop a lot and this has been proven to be a hugely good purchase. I'm not entirely sure ultrawide is particularly useful for this game but nonetheless it was fun haha.Normal Use:The extra screen real estate is very helpful. This is another fast paced game but it looked great and performed quite well. You can see far and keep a huge area in view for potential victims haha.For another game, I opened up Star Wars Battlefront 2. Visibility is everything in this game and this monitor gives a real edge. This game really made use of the ultrawide. Will stick to PG278Q on this one.And then I opened up PUBG. Everything is changing every which way and I'm not positive the ultrawide is particularly useful for the game. While this monitor is great, I'm not sure it is fully up to the task as my PG278Q is simply because of the amount of pixels it has to throw around. Rocket League has a lot of camera rotation and very fast movement. Was easily able to max out the 100 fps on this monitor thanks to Battlefield being such a well optimized game.Next, I tried Rocket League. Then in your card's control panel, be sure to select the 3440x1440 100Hz option.=Thoughts on Performance=Gaming:I hopped into Battlefield 1 and wow it was incredible, such a wide view it looked great. Simply go into the monitors menu and hit the OC option to jump to 100Hz. This monitor has a max refresh rate of 100 fps, but 60 by default. Just like my other monitor, it has the nice joystick on the back for navigating the menus. Like a TV, you need to change the input through settings to Display-port it won't auto detect. Since most of the factory packaging was there and some stuff was in sealed bags, I feel it is safe to assume it had never been setup or turned on.When you first turn on the monitor, it starts in HDMI input by default. As I mentioned above, this monitor came from Amazon Warehouse deals, meaning someone more than likely returned it for whatever reason. Made it really feel like a solid piece of hardware. The monitor portion itself weighs quite a bit and the mount between the monitor and the tripod like stand was surprisingly heavy. You can read my review on that monitor here: this monitor in and immediately began setting it up. The PG278Q is still a very high performance monitor even by today's standards. This new monitor isn't a replacement for said monitor, rather I will be running both together.
What I'm saying is, don't be surprised or disappointed if the monitor you get has an issue. These are fantastic monitors but be aware that build quality is an issue that plagues Asus to this day. So, here I am again, rolling the dice on another Asus monitor. I lucked out and haven't had any issues with it as a lot of other people have. Not about the seller or any feedback on packaging and shipping.=Asus and I backstory=Before buying this monitor, the PG348Q, I've had the Asus ROG Swift PG278Q for almost 3 years and it has been a great monitor. Gaming was tested on a GTX1080Ti.Reviewed as of 2-23-2018Keep in mind, this review is strictly about the monitor.
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2018īefore I start, I'll let you know I have a preference towards Asus and I also got this monitor from Amazon Warehouse Deals. Great so far, will update this over time.
