The 35" inch at 3440x1440 feels like a match made in heaven, it feels sharp, it is very immersive and it takes the space of my entire table in the process.
This monitor was a beast to pickup at the post office, and I'm glad I workout as the monitor weighed in at ~22KG. The package and monitor exterior is of premium quality, it looks a tad childish when you see it on pictures, but in person it reeks of design and a lot of techy futuristic material. This is truly a monitor which can be seen as both an investment and a loss, depending on who you ask. Keep in mind that playing games in HDR increases its hardware demands, you will struggle to reach a stable 144hz HDR at 3440x1440p and don't get me started with 200hz. I've never experienced a perfect monitor, but you expect a higher price will increase both QC and the feel of the product you're buying.Ģ00hz 8bit 3440x1440p SDR and 144hz x1440p HDR - these are your options with this monitor and both of these options are incredibly high end and difficult to reach. They all either lack features or have the features with flaws. To balance it out a bit, no monitors have ever been perfect. We're pretty much reaching the upper end of what a consumer market can reach, so this better be a perfect monitor, right?. I thought the Asus PG27UQ was pushing it, but this is reaching for new limits. It's time to test out a VA panel, despite the horror storries of their performance. Why do I have to be a perfectionist, and why can't a monitor be perfect? At the same time, the ultrawide made a huge change in the vibe of gaming, so perhaps I'll keep it? It was a blast as long as it lasted, I had a few problems with the monitor hardware such as uneven colors, dead pixels and some iffy glitching, it was returned.įuck it, The wait for Asus PG35VQ begins. Ultrawide really changes things up, it gave me the VR vibe of being more immersed, however I lost 45 (personally) very noticable hertz of my Asus PG279Q - and the IPS bleed was even worse this time, god dammit. I have the money now, why not just go Ultrawide and change things up? I bought the Acer X34P, holy shit I was impressed.
in nighttime, huge borders around the monitor and too high of a resolution for a 27", thus leading to some bothersome experience to my eyes focusing too hard, or using scaling which defeated the purpose of sharpness in Windows.Oh and a cluster of dead pixels on the left side good QC btw :) My #1 issue with IPS was now even more troublesome than ever before, but god damn the colors and performance was incredible - but it was not enough, the combination of bandwidth issues (thx to DP 1.4), FALD issues esp. IPS by itself has a pretty bad contrast range, the FALD does not help with this, and make it even more visible than ever before.

Then came the issues with bandwidth, windows and FALD, oh god the FALD. I was blasted away by its screen performance, the colors and brightness and quality of HDR content was literally as good, if not better than my OLED. Then the ASUS PG27UQ released, I instantly bailed my PG279Q and went all aboard. Either way it performs amazing and I really wouldn't want a scary VA with its ghosting and smudge issues. However, nothing is perfect, the IPS has its problems, but so does VA and TN, guess nothing is perfect until a new tech appears, this is probably the best for me right now. Well, then I became aware of what IPS bleed and glow is, I started to become bothered whenever I had dark content playing due to the only "dark" part of the screen would more or less be the center. I completely ignored VA's existence, since IPS is obviously superior, right?
Now, the reason I went for a IPS is due to my earlier experience with TN panels, and the horrible history I've read about VA panels in general. It was a incredible change, nothing like it. My first experience with IPS was due to a flip over to a ASUS ROG G74SX back when it was bothersome to have a gaming desktop (due to my traveling), it had a impressive screen compared to my TN panel I had on a older desktop.ĥ years after my first experience with IPS, I went all out and bought my first high-end gaming desktop with the ASUS PG279Q monitor and got a first hand luxury experience with G-Sync and hz higher than 60. I've had my share of experience with different monitor tech, the monitors I've personally owned have been CRT, TN and of course IPS. This review is a follow-up for my other post: "The PG35VQ has finally arrived - Currently testing it out :)" Neither am I biased with buyers remorse, as I can return it if I want to.Įnglish isn't my native language, excuse any typos or grammar issues - also wrote this in a rush to meet demands )
