Product Overview

Gigabyte G34WQC is a premium 34-inch UW-QHD ultra-wide curved gaming monitor in Gigabyte's 2020 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit VA panel.
Notably, this monitor supports HDR up to DisplayHDR 400. Its 1500R curvature provides a more immersive visual experience. In terms of color reproduction, one can expect above average performance. The included stand comes with tilt and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty. It also comes with build-in speakers that make media consumption in a pinch an effortless experience.
Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.

The Gigabyte G34WQC has a large screen with a high resolution to deliver an immersive gaming experience. It has a low input lag, fast response time, and a 144Hz refresh rate to provide smooth and responsive gameplay. Its ultrawide format is excellent for multitasking, and its high resolution allows you to see all the fine details in your work. However, it isn't ideal for sharing content due to its poor ergonomics and narrow viewing angles.
