EDG 34” Ultrawide 3440 x 1440 AMD Radeon FreeSync Certified 144Hz 1500R Curved Gaming Monitor with Tilt Only Stand (NX-EDG34S)

I've been using this monitor for a few weeks now, so it's about time for a review. Out of the box, I was very impressed. The stand is very sturdy and easy to assemble, though the instructions aren't very clear on which screws to use. It's also not adjustable height wise, but luckily it's perfect for my setup. I had purchased a DP 1.4 cable, but this monitor came with one. Upon starting it up, I was absolutely blown away by the colors and clarity. Still haven't felt a need to mess with the colors on the OSD, I simply enabled 10-bit in the Nvidia control panel as well as FreeSync. Paired with a 1080ti and a Ryzen 1700, I have no problem getting 100+fps on max settings on most games. I don't have the slightest bit of ghosting with the response time set to low, which is very impressive for a VA panel. I'm glad I chose this instead of the more expensive LG with an IPS panel. I also wasn't sure if I'd like the aggressive curve, but I actually do. It does make gaming feel slightly more immersive. There are a few issues though, it's not perfect. There is a tiny bit of glow at the top and bottom, but I only notice it when booting my PC. It's not that bad, certainly nothing compared to an IPS panel. But it does exist, unlike my TN panel. Not really an issue, just thought I'd mention it. The other issue is flickering when using FreeSync. It's FreeSync certified between 48-144hz, so expect it to flicker when you're hitting less than that in games. Generally loading screens are 30hz, which is the only time I notice it. I contacted Nixeus, and they said that is normal and turning down the brightness helps. I turned my brightness down to 20 (still plenty bright enough) and it almost completely went away. After researching, this is expected with all 144hz 3440x1440p G-Sync/FreeSync (mainly FreeSync) monitors to some degree. Overall, if this monitor was $800, I would still recommend it. At the price of $600 (I paid $550 during pre-order) it is an amazing bang for your buck. If you have a 1080ti, 2080, 2080 Super, or 2080ti, I would definitely jump on this.

I really love the specs, of course. 3440x1440 Ultrawide is amazing. On top of that, the blacks are VERY good, better than my Samsung 8-series 4k panel. Love the curve, love that G-Sync works even though it's a free sync mmonitor (and works perfectly). It's even HDR ready- thats a lil hit or miss , worked for Netflix videos in 4k/HDR great- not as great in Battle Field V and Red Dead 2, but still pretty damn nice although i turned them off. Colors are GREAT. you can run 4:4: 10-bit at the same time, or RGB/10-bit/full color spectrum . Both at 144Hz. Make sure to buy a DP1.4 cable with 32gbps bandwidth. -although i actually didnt test the one from the box so it might be ok. there are good ones on Amazon for $15. I was given one by my neighbor bc my got lost in shipping. Overall , this is a quality monitor, and really good for the price. DP1.4 and Samsung's newest VA panels. Hella good for $550.

I waited for 2 years for the Acer X35 and then sent it back the day after I got it because it was absolute trash. Given it's price of $2500 I was already less inclined to be forgiving, but givet its state I'd have sent it back even if it was $500. That brings me to this here Nixeus EDG 34”. I bought it as a temporary monitor just to last me until something good would appear on the market. To my surprise it turned out to be quite a nice piece of hardware. It's more than bright enough (I'm actually running it at 60% brightness), the G-Sync works to my satisfaction, and I do enjoy the steeper than average curvature. Ideally it'd be even more curved, a 1000R perhaps, but I'd have to wait for the Odyssey G9 to come out for that one. Given the very low price and some impressively good specs, such as the 144Hz refresh rate, I cannot help but be impressed. Of course, it would be unreasonable to expect a $550 monitor to be perfect. Its panel does suffer from the standard VA light leaking "Batman" pattern. The HDR is entirely unimpressive (though I have to qualify that by saying that I don't like any existing monitor's HDR implementation). The stand is primitive with no vertical movement. Lastly, the transition from black to white is slow, which you can see if you scroll a white piece of text on black background. Overall I am happy with Nixeus. I spend my time programming and playing games, (naturally I browse the web and watch videos as well) and the monitor delivers reasonably high quality experiences. The problems I listed above are largely unnoticeable unless you look for them (light leaking) or are easily mitigated (I replaced the stand with an arm mount). In fact I had a lot more bad to say about the expensive and ostensibly fancy Predator X35. If you want an ultrawide monitor but are either on a budget or, like myself, are waiting for something major to hit the shelves, this one will likely check all the boxes.

When I ordered this monitor, I did quite a bit of searching. I only had a couple of requirements so I was fairly open. I wanted a 34"-35" monitor with 144mhz speed. The Nixeus hit my radar after a fair amount of searching. In the end, it had pretty good reviews on Amazon and it was one of the least expensive 144mhz panels I could find in my size range. I was a little worried about some reviews that indicated bad pixels or poor manufacturing quality but I decided to purchase anyway. The use case was a good size monitor that I could use in my home office for working at home and then repurpose for gaming when this mess is all over. Below are some observations: Pro: -The monitor seems to have very good build quality -The stand is a bit "thinner" but I would not call it flimsy at all. -The picture is great and no tearing observed (although not stressing it yet) -My usage isnt really maxing performance but overall, I am very happy with the monitor Con: -The product page indicated shipping which made me expect ~10-14 days. It took almost 4 weeks for delivery. (by the way, this wasnt a terrible con.. just wanted it sooner.)

Building my wife and I identical new PCs and we wanted to step up from our aging 1080p 16:9 monitors. I decided to give this a try and very glad I did. Paired with our Sapphire Nitro+ 5700 XT cards, this monitor has a great picture quality and super smooth gameplay with Freesync and refresh up to 144hz. I wasn't sure about making the move to ultrawide, but I don't think i can ever go back to gaming on 16:9 after experiencing this. So much real estate you can work with, which is great for UI customization in MMOs or other games. The stand is very basic but gets the job done. Otherwise, if you're looking for a large ultrawide for gaming, I'd definitely consider this product.

This monitor absolutely exceeded all of my expectations. I've always been more of a high end tv guy, doing all of my gaming previously on a Samsung q9fn 4k HDR tv, but decided to give an ultra wide monitor a try. I absolutely had to have 1440p and 144hz. That was non negotiable. And it had to be a VA panel. Ips may be better for shooters but nothing bothers me more than a washed out image and backlight bleed with grey blacks. The contrast on this monitor does not disappoint which is impressive considering I'm used to a tv with almost 600 zones of local dimming. Brightness is also superb for a monitor. They say its 400 nits which I believe to be true. Not bright enough for true HDR but, it's perfect for gaming up close. Any brighter and I think eye strain would be noticable. Colors are good. Not sure if it's a true 10 bit panel but there's little to no banding on gradations of color on screen and the color volume is very impressive. Overall it's a hell of a value. The overall aesthetic isnt anything special, but very clean and simple. The back looks cheap but you're never looking at that part so who cares. If you have the cash, buy it. You wont be sorry.

My 16:9 TN panel Dell monitor started showing display issues, so I opted to move into widescreen gaming. I took a bit of a gamble and bought this because of the mostly positive reviews and the price. 3440x1440 144hz just doesn't get any less expensive than this. In terms of panel quality, I did not run into any of the QA or defect issues some others reported. I see no dead pixels, faint lines through the screen, etc. Everything seems above board here. This monitor looks great...when viewing a still image. Which, of course, you generally aren't doing when gaming, and only gamers care about high refresh rates. Once things start moving, all of the problems become very apparent. Let's start with G-Sync. This monitor is not on NVidia's official "supports G-Sync" list but the manufacturer advertises compatibility as a feature, so we should be able to enable it anyway and party, right? Well, sort of. It does work in the very technical sense of the word, but it has its issues. Mainly, loading screens do the flickering thing some people talk about, which itself wouldn't be a huge deal, but the other major issue is that certain colors or patterns will make the brightness of the picture fluctuate unexpectedly, causing a flashing effect that is very distracting and obviously not supposed to be happening. I'd say it's pretty clear that the manufacturer did not put this through any real QA testing for G-Sync to ensure obvious bugs and problems don't occur, so use G-Sync at your own risk. I don't have an AMD video card to test whether these issues are specific to G-Sync or affect adaptive sync in general. Moving past that, let's talk about the issues that happen regardless of G-Sync being enabled or not. Or I should say issue, but an issue that is so bad on this display that it is inexcusable even for a VA panel; image smearing. What good is a high refresh rate if the pixels themselves can't actually update fast enough to keep up with the refresh rate? I tried tweaking every setting in the menus I could find, but most either did nothing or just traded some blur for some ghosting, which isn't really a huge improvement. I've attached a video to show how bad the smearing is; the footage is from the game City of Heroes. In particular, pay attention to the guy in the purple pants and look how the purple just smears all over the place as I move. In virtually every game I tested, the entire game screen noticeably blurs any time I move or change where I am looking. To be clear, almost all of the above ceases to be a major issue by running the panel at 60hz with no adaptive sync enabled, but that's not what you paid for, is it? If I wanted 60hz and no adaptive sync, there are cheaper options. Hell, the Dell ultrawide I use for work that I got 5 years ago would work if this is what I wanted. I paid a premium for features that are only supported in the most literal "you can't sue us over not supporting it" sense, not in the "you'd actually want to use them in their current state" sense. For that reason, I have a hard time suggesting this even as a budget option for the listed features. You'd be better off either spending more to get those features in a good display, or spending less for a display without those features, rather than paying a premium for features that don't work well enough to justify using them.

Great monitor and arguably the best value ultrawide for the money on sale at $500 in summer of 2020. The specs are great and the monitor performs well at an overdrive setting of normal. The OSD buttons are loud but feel tactile, would love to see a joystick option. Backlight bleed isnt obvious from directly looking at display. Colors are great, deep blacks, and average contrast ratio for VA panel. Ideal for gaming in dark room. The stand is quite deep and has no height adjustment, you may need a monitor stand as I opted for to correct height. HDR400 isnt much but that being said it makes a HUGE difference in games and apps that support it. Coming from a pro gaming TN panel the colors are amazing. Color accuracy needs slight tweaking but excellent for gaming however if you do content creation I would look at an IPS panel. Arrived without a single dead pixel however the speakers are non functioning and do not work. Granted no real gamer or pc enthusiant is ever going to use monitor speakers so I happily kept the monitor because of zero dead pixels.

So I've only had this monitor for a few days so far, but I have to say that it has met all my expectations and then some! I'm coming from an ASUS PG278Q, which I loved and even though it's a very high quality display, it's still a TN panel, though one of the fastest and best looking TN's around. So this is what I'm comparing the EDG34S to. POSITIVES: - The colors in comparison are much much better. - The contrast, being that it's a VA panel of course, is FANTASTIC and by far and away the biggest reason I wanted to upgrade and upgrade to a VA panel specifically. I don't do any kind of professional design work that relies on 100% accurate colors. I game and watch stuff, and VA panels with their contrast and vibrancy are simply much MUCH better suited for this use case. - Brightness is excellent. It isn't 1000nits or anything crazy like that, but nobody in their right mind needs that kind of brightness for a monitor they're sitting a foot or two away from. So in this regards, the 400nits (approx.) is more than sufficient, though you won't be getting the "true" HDR experience. Which, without local dimming or OLED and the exorbitant pricing that goes along with that, nobody is really getting "true" HDR anyways and you shouldn't expect that from a monitor at this price, but it is there and it does work. It just won't melt your eyes like you're staring into the sun. - Basically zero light leakage or glow, even with the brightness cranked to insane levels on a pure black background. - Response time is also superb. Yes, there can be some banding in dark to light scenes as is typical with VA's, but being that this is a 144hz panel, as well as setting Overdrive to "middle", for most people, or "high", if you can keep your frames >120fps, then it's negligible and you likely won't notice it unless you look for it. Remember, this is coming from someone upgrading from a monitor that had <5ms all-in across the entire spectrum. Weirdly, this monitor actually somehow feels SMOOTHER to me. I can't explain that one, but maybe it has to do with... - FreeSync (technically it's FreeSync Premium/HDR/2, but the panel isn't certified as being HDR even though it is, so it's "just FreeSync") and G-Sync "compatible", it works 100% fine with G-Sync, again, it just hasn't been certified. I have had zero issues across multiple games, no flickering or anything out of the ordinary. It just works. - PRICE! The #1 positive. What you're getting for the price you're paying? Can't be beat. Honestly. It really can't. NEGATIVES: - No adjustable stand. This is by far the biggest negative to me. Even after purchasing an aftermarket adjustable stand (STAND-V001V), the cost is still worth it, so not a deal breaker, but the option for one out of the box would be nice! Where is the EDG34, Nixeus?! - A single stuck pixel. Only visible on black backgrounds, but even then barely so. Well within tolerance, but still a sad sight when it is visible. - Sometimes the display needs to be turned off and on again after rebooting? Not sure what causes that and it's only happened twice so far, I think it may be due to setting HDR in the OSD to "Auto-Detect", but further testing is needed. - Speaking of on and off, there is no front facing visible LED or anything to indicate if the monitor is on or not, or if FreeSync/G-Sync is enabled. Again, not a big deal, just a small QoL thing I miss. - Port/Plug placement. TERRIBLE. Oh man, it's really awkward to plug this thing in depending on your setup. I wish all monitors simply pointed their ports straight out the back instead of downward under a little alcove. Very frustrating, but mostly because of my setup. - Please, go with a joystick instead of buttons for the OSD! Another minor QoL, but it feels major whenever you needs to make adjustments. At least they feel very clicky and tactile! I think that about covers it. I'll update as time passes to see if anything new develops or if my opinion changes, but overall I am so incredibly satisfied with this purchase so far, I can't even properly describe it. I feel like I somehow cheated and got it for the price I did. Incredible value, truly. You have a new fan, Nixeus! Just please for the love of god, don't sell your future monitors without an adjustable stand, or without the option to choose. My only real qualm.

Me gustó mucho este monitor , la construcción se ve de buena calidad , los leds de atrás se ven geniales aunque no sean muy visibles por qué está en la parte de atrás. El monitor ses de calidad ya que es un panel Samsung de los mas nuevos y me sorprendió bastante , esta dudoso de comprar esta marca pero no decepciono. Lo único malo es que no tiene forma de mover el monitor dependiendo el angulo , solo esta fijo.

1st, one note, the installation of the stand is a little tricky as the instructions were not super clear. The screen "clicks" onto the stand, so you actually have to remove the piece from the back of the screen, screw it onto the stand, (careful not to screw it in upside down like I did...), then click the screen into place. Not difficult, just not clear on the instructions. 2nd. I mostly use it for work, I use to have a 27" monitor as my primary with my 17" laptop as the second screen. With this, it's almost like having 3 screens, I love the Windows feature to "split the screen in two" by dragging on app window off the right side, maximizes to only 1/2 your screen and lets you choose a 2nd app window to fill the left half of the monitor. I have to use a LOT of window apps for work, so it's wonderful and I feel has made my life a lot easier with the side by side that the 27" monitor was just a bit too small to be effective at. 3rd. I'm not an "up to date" gamer, I play rather older games (Diablo 3, X-Com), going to try Phoenix Point soon, so these are not the super demanding latest released 1st person shooters, or highly competitive gaming, and thus I can't speak to the performance on those types of games, but for mine, with my NVidia GeForce RTX2070 Super, those games are working great at the 3440x1440 resolution! This brings up a good point, make sure your graphics card can handle that resolution, or it's going to bug out (I tried it with my older laptop, running an AMD Radeon HD8970M, and it struggled a bit - meaning the screen would black out, flash a few times, return to normal, would also have some trouble identifying it on reboot, etc...). Finally, I am very satisfied at what I got for the price I paid ($749.28). Hope this is helpful!

Gran monitor muy buenos colores, cumple con lo dicho, muy recomendable para Gaming y entretenimiento y trabajo, en otras páginas vi que decían la base se ven frágil, no se por que, es de metal y se siente de buena contruccion, lo único es que no tiene movimiento ni a los lados ni arriba ni abajo, todo lo demás muy recomendable

muy buen producto, buena calidad, el unico problema o situacion, es que con los frames adaptativos tenia problemas de flickering en la pantalla, que ya poniendo los Hz en fijo se quito.. no se si es problema de mi Tarjeta de video o no
