ASUS Launches the TUF Gaming VG34VQL3A 180 Hz WQHD Curved Monitor

[TheLostSwede]

ASUS has added a new addition to its TUF Gaming series of monitors, which goes under the model name VG34VQL3A. The new monitor is a 34-inch ultra-wide model with a WQHD or 3440 x 1440 resolution. It features a 180 Hz refresh rate panel that has a 1500R curvature and a peak brightness in both SDR and HDR mode of 400 cd/m². The panel itself is of VA type and features a common LED backlight and delivers a 1 ms GtG response time, a 4000:1 contrast ratio and finally covers 125 percent of the sRGB colour gamut.

When it comes to gaming features, ASUS has added support for Freesync Premium Pro as well as Adaptive Sync and the VG34VQL3A also sports support for ELMB (Extreme Low Motion Blur) and variable overdrive, which are two features you normally only find on higher-end gaming monitors. Included are of course ASUS typical gaming features like shadow boost, FPS counter, crosshairs etc. as well as various presets for different modes. When it comes to connectivity, ASUS has somewhat unusually equipped the VG34VQL3A with two DP 1.4 inputs, as well as two HDMI 2.0 inputs. There's also a three port USB Type-A hub that supports speed of up to 10 Gbps. The supplied stand supports tilt, swivel and height adjustment and also has an integrated quarter inch tripod mount for mounting webcams or lights. ASUS claims a mere 27 Watt power usage for the VG34VQL3A, which almost sounds too good to be true. The VG34VQL3A is expected to launch sometime later this quarter.

Depends on how the power draw is measured, but 27 watts is within the typical range for LCDs when the panels are adjusted to 200 nits:

Those are 27" models though, not 34".

This could be viable option, I am not dropping a grand on xg349c, if this is like 500 or so.

Why aren't there higher resolution ultra wide monitors, this is equivalent to a 27" 1440p it is just too low, 32" is the sweet spot for 4k, at 34" we should expect something a bit higher.

A 34 inch ultrawide at 3440x1440 is a perfect pixel density IMHO for desktop setting.

I barely if ever use AA in games at that res / 34in. Just don't need it, adds too little or is even detrimental to crisp image because the pixel density is perfect.

Practically 95-100 PPI is in the 'just too low' area to me, but around 110 is mighty fine.

Glad for you, unfortunately for me even at 24" I can use 4k at 100% scaling, though at 32" it's perfect for me.

This is the realm of "I'm super unique, look at me." The overwhelming majority of people don't and wouldn't want to look at text that small.
