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.

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.

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

This is a very nice gaming monitor, looks awesome.

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
