What Buyers Say

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.

75 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews

The PeakDo 7" portable touchscreen monitor receives mixed feedback. Many users praise its premium build, excellent color accuracy, portability, and versatile connectivity via USB-C and HDMI, making it ideal as a secondary screen for devices like the Steam Deck or ROG Ally. However, significant issues are reported, including a unit that turns off when the computer sleeps and requires re-plugging, a defective screen with a black burn mark, and mediocre speakers. The 60Hz refresh rate is noted as adequate but not smooth for gaming.

Pros
  • Premium build quality
  • Excellent color accuracy
  • Portable and lightweight
  • Versatile USB-C and HDMI connectivity
  • Touchscreen functionality
Cons
  • Turns off when computer sleeps
  • Requires re-plugging after sleep
  • Defective screen with black burn mark
  • Mediocre speakers
  • 60Hz refresh rate not smooth for gaming
