    Nvm.
    So you should be putting power to the side of that DP port, to make it a single cable?
    - aXit on 10/07/2020 - 18:34
      
      Yeah, I mean there's only a single cable out to the laptop on my desk. There's another USB-C cable from the charger to the port on the connector behind the monitor too.

  Not sure. Another important thing with using a monitor (instead of a TV) for console gaming is it needs to support HDCP, otherwise it most likely won't display anything after the latest OS update. I somehow learnt it the hard way.

- Anstar on 10/07/2020 - 16:56
  
  I was tempted to buy one just before June 30, but the thing that put held me back was that it didnt seem like it had the split screen of PBP functionality. Glad I didn't make the impulse buy.
  - caprimulgus on 10/07/2020 - 17:49
    
    It does have split screen PBP, but I haven't been able to get it working properly (it stays as 3440x1440 input, and stretches it down to the 10.5:9 ratio - havent worked out how to get it to take 1720x1440 input).

        @pinkybrain: Both my Kogan monitors and my Kogan TV had a 1 year warranty. One has a stuck pixel, one has terrible input lag and the other the DP input died after a year and a half.
        
        The first two I could put up with but the other one they refused to do anything about, even if I offered to pay for a fix.
        
        They're fine if they're significantly cheaper than competing options (mine were so I'm still happy with the purchases), but I'd avoid if there's another option at a similar price.
        
        pinkybrain on 10/07/2020 - 17:42
        
        @BenR31415: yeah kogan had some what seem like good prices
        but the 1 year warranty and it being kogan brand
        I just don't know how much i can trust buying them..
        
        what monitor models were they
        do you have links for models?
        
        also how much you paid?
        
        if you paid for the fix for the Display Port problem
        why would you need to bother with sending it back to Kogan?
        
        BenR31415 on 10/07/2020 - 17:49
        
        @pinkybrain: These were a few years back no longer any trace of these models on the website.
        
        ~6 years ago got a 32" FHD TV with an inbuilt DVD player for ~$440 (stuck pixel)
        
        ~3 years ago got a 27" IPS 1440p monitor for $350, similar models from other companies were going for ~$550 (input lag)
        
        ~3 years ago got a 24" TN 144Hz 1080p freesync monitor for $219. Similar options were $380. Didn't end up paying to get the DP input fixed, the HDMI port still works and I've been putting up with the lower refresh rate and not having freesync over HDMI.
    - ATangk on 10/07/2020 - 17:36
      
      I have no dead pixels on mine, or at least I couldnt find any. They should be relatively obvious switching between white, black, red, green and blue screens, right?
      
      Their Change of Mind policy is still active for 3 more days. Wondering if I should just return it and buy the Xiaomi… But then I will have $299 in store credit…
      - pinkybrain on 10/07/2020 - 17:40
        
        @ATangk: yeah
        
        just go through a full screen colour test and you will see it right away if a pixel is dead
        
        ATangk on 10/07/2020 - 17:42
        
        @pinkybrain: Went through another one and can't find a single dead pixel. So not sure about others' experiences but mine seems to be fine on all ends except brightness.

Considering this, but isn't IPS with 144Hz + QHD at 21:9 32" much more expensive? Any options for bit more for the similar monitor but IPS? Everything I'm looking at is over $1000.

Is 21:9 panels mainly suitable for gaming
but not as good for movies and TV?

And 16:9 panel is suitable for both gaming and TV/Movies?

Also how about which is better for desktop usage?
ie web browsing, word, excel etc..

is there any scaling needed for this monitor size and resolution?
- BenR31415 on 10/07/2020 - 17:43
  
  Movies are often 2:1 or something similar so an ultrawide will be better there, although some will be 16:9 and there you just end up with black bars on either side.
  
  For gaming it's mostly better but some games don't support it well and it's better without. WSGF has a list of well supported / poorly supported games.
  
  Pixel density is perfect without scaling, exactly the same as a 27" 1440p monitor. If you're going for a single monitor the extra screen space is better for productivity, but the extra width makes multi monitor setups more difficult.
  - pinkybrain on 10/07/2020 - 22:32
    
    yeah i got a multi monitor setup right now..
    
    so this monitor is already wide
    this would mean i can't add one or two monitors to the side of this monitor on a standard desk?
    or if I did it would be too awkwardly long?
    - caprimulgus on 11/07/2020 - 00:24
      
      Depends on your desk.
      
      I have the Kogan equivalent of this 34” Ultrawide, and I have a 24” 16:10 on one side and a 19” 5:4 on the other - fits fine on my 1.6m desk. (I’m sure 2x 24” would also fit fine, but I let my wife use the other 24” i was using previously)
    - aec on 11/07/2020 - 00:44
      
      hey pinky girl, the 21:9 is definitely good for movie and it is perfect for desktop usage like web browsing, word and excel. I am completing my HDR program on my Dell's. The text is just not as sharp as a 27"@4k, but it is still perfectly fine!
ifixa on 10/07/2020 - 17:17

Got it last time and it's a very nice monitor. Quality is up there with other Xiaomi products meaning simple and solid build quality with minimal branding visible.
Colours nice and vibrant but bit of ghosting which is normal for VA panels.
No dead pixels when I got mine.

  does windows 10 recommend scaling for this monitor?
  
  Is the text sharp/crisp and dark for reading?
  
  is the monitor any good for movie/tv, youtube watching
  and does it have black bars for any of those types of videos?
  - Caped Baldy on 10/07/2020 - 17:33
    
    Text looks good on monitors of this size and resolution. Movies in 21:9 are good as they have minimal black bars.
  - ifixa on 10/07/2020 - 17:52
    
    Scaling depends on how small you want your text and icons. 100% is fine if you don't mind smallish text (still crisp) and want more real estate or use 150%/200% for more comfortable text size but less real estate.
    
    Text is pretty crisp. Just keep a normal working distance. It's resolution is similar to 24" 1080P so if that's fine you'll be good.
    
    For consuming content it just depends on what your watching. Movies are great cause they share the same 21:9 aspect ratio so no black bars. Most of YouTube won't be 21:9 so expect some side vertical bars.
    - pinkybrain on 10/07/2020 - 22:29
      
      yeah but in windows 10, windows would recommend if you should scale or not etc and automatically set the scaling for you..
      
      so I am interested if windows 10 would recommend scaling this monitor size/resolution by default
      
      there is some issue with scaling beyond 100% though
      since some apps do not scale properly or don't scale at all.

  It's a fine monitor for everyday use. You may miss the height adjustment though but that's easily solved with ~~a creative hack~~ couple of Yellow Pages phonebooks placed under the monitor.

Man this VA vs IPS argument is just so messed up. PC users using a TV for a monitor swear by VA (response time suddenly isn't an issue when they're gaming) and PC user on a normal monitor wear by IPS (backlight bleed and poor black level aren't a thing)…

  People are just used to high end monitors being IPS and high end LED TVs being VA.
  
  It doesn't really matter too much, I'd rather a decent VA panel over a shitty IPS one and vice versa

OK i cancelled my order for the AOC and got this instead, seems like its the same Samsung VA panel. Can't be beaten for $640 delivered vs $870….Local warranty is icing on the cake.

  Which AOC monitor were you considering ?
  - NotAnAudiophile on 10/07/2020 - 17:32
    
    CU34G2X. Stock was arriving in a few days, but managed to cancel it in favour of this one. I did some research, I think the AOC's backlight may be a little different, but this Xiaomi's cable management system is better, and it has height adjustment unlike the Kogan one.

        @Wickedwings: Yeah, good one. I was waiting for steam credit too, but if you don't get the steam credit the price delta is too great, its over 30% cheaper for whats largely the same panel (sans potentially the backlight). From what i know, the only native 144h 34" 1500R panel is from Samsung. There is a 1800R panel used in an MSI with the same specs, but thats $1.4k.

For anyone wondering on performance, i've got both this monitor and the 27GL850 and would say that it is quite easy to notice the better performance of the lg.

About the Xiaomi:
* text scrolling noticibly worse
* white text scrolling on black backgrounds becomes very faded
* If running alongside another monitor, this monitors edge isnt straight so there is a gap between the other monitor.
* Very noticble ghosting (couldnt notice any with lg)

When playing rocket league performance difference personally doesnt matter compared to the increased aspect ratio, fps games however you would want to go for something like the x34p.

  Yes i would agree LG IPS panels would be better, however the big daddy of them all the 34GN850 is like $1.5k……
- Wickedwings on 10/07/2020 - 17:41
  
  Thanks for the comparison. I have a 27GL850 and just bought this one as the primary monitor for my sim racing setup. The 27GL850 is the benchmark for IPS screens though so it sets a high bar. I'll be doing the majority of my primary FPS gaming with the 27GL850 though.
- C0mbat on 10/07/2020 - 17:55
  
  Thanks for the above comments. So you're saying that for work productivity (Excel, Word, PowerPoint etc) and Web browsing that this monitor isn't particularly good? Are IPS monitors always going to be better for that?
  - JGatto on 10/07/2020 - 18:02
    
    It just depends how picky you are really, if your going to have alot of darkmode apps/sites the text scrolling will probably become super annoying, text scrolling isnt too bad in most cases. But overall it is noticible and I will be trying to upgrade soon most likely.

  is the height of this monitor and the 27GL850 the same size?
  
  do you have pic of both monitors side by side with some pic or video (same) to compare
  
  so in you opinion
  this monitor is not as good as it seems?
  
  BTW can we get gsync to work on this?
  i read that some free sync monitors can get gsync to work on it
  
  is there a need for free sync or gsync if the monitor already supports 144hz?
  why would people still use free sync or gsync?
  - JGatto on 11/07/2020 - 12:01
    
    Yeah the heights are almost exactly the same, with the tiniest little difference, ill upload a photo when I get the chance.
    
    This monitor isn't bad by any means at this price, just coupled next to a monitor as good as the 27GL850 it will become hard not to notice all the differences.
    
    G-sync works for me when I enabled it in the settings no issues there.
    
    Freesync and Gsync are used to eliminate screen tearing, it only works when its in the fps range however.

For an extra $100-$150, I got 2 x 32" Samsung monitors from portal.
One is 144 Hz, and one is 4K UHD. Best of both worlds.

You will need a huge desk to fit both.

I decided to go for 2 monitors instead of Ultra wide. No regrets.

Nice specs and price but UW curved monitors are a niche. A lot to pay for something that's useful in a few games but not in others, and almost as demanding on GPU as UHD. Go 24" FHD 144 hz for gaming. 27" QHD for work.

Xiaomi sure has a wide range of products while maintaining decent brand reputation despite the general bad quality that's associated with Chinese products. Kind of noticed it this with Ugreen and Kuulaa cables/adaptors that are on Aliexpress as well. More competition is great for consumers but I imagine this is somewhat disconcerting for Western brands.
