ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B 34" Black 2021
82 out of 100 high confidence 31 reviews
The ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B is a 34-inch ultrawide 1440p monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate, praised for its great value and versatility for both gaming and productivity. Users highlight the excellent contrast, high refresh rate, and built-in USB hub, but note that HDR looks washed out and ghosting or overshoot can occur if settings aren't tuned properly. The monitor requires some adjustment for different content types, but once configured, it delivers a solid experience for the price.
