Q: I just purchased this monitor and in the settings it says the refresh rate is 60hz, not 144. Did I receive the wrong model?

A: Have to enable 144hz in the settings on the monitor and in the graphic card settings under Nividia control panel. If you need help check YouTube should fine a easy walkthrough explaining how to turn 144hz on in nividia settings

Q: Is this 4k and HDR?

A: It is a 1440 monitor. So comparing to others, it is the halfway point between HD and 4k. This resolution is a nice step up from standard HD but a little easier for a computer to handle than a full 4k (2160) monitor when used for gaming. It is technically an HDR400 rated monitor, however that is essentially entry level HDR and would need some fine tuning to make it very effective. Comparing to other monitors in the price point, most claiming to have HDR are also rated the same at 400 level.

Q: Is this 1500R or 1800R Curvature?? I wish more manufacturers would include this info by requirement (hopefully all will soon)

A: It is 1500R

Q: I have an Nvidia GTX 1080. Will I be able to use this monitor to its nearly full potential? Also...how often does this come in stock?

A: You should be able to run the resolution... It is more a matter of what detail settings you have going in your games. I would think that you should be able to run games decently with an good framerate if only based on the 1080 but I wouldn't expect a 144 refresh rate on ultra settings. There's going to be other factors such as RAM, SSD vs HDD, and CPU etc.

Q: Does this have built-in speakers. Also does it have a 3.5 audio out on the back. Thanks for any help! : )))))

A: It does have speakers but it might as well not have them. It other words they are laughably quiet and tin sounding. It does have a 3.5mm audio jack however should you want to use it for audio pass through.

Q: does this display support g sync?

A: It is not officially gsync supported, but will work with 10 series cards and newer.

Q: Does it support monitor mount

A: Yes, standard 100mm VESA. You'll need to remove the included stand mount with a screw driver.

Q: Does this support HDMI 2.1 ?

A: It looks like only HDMI 2.0 https://www.gigabyte.com/Monitor/G34WQC/sp#sp

Good value display
Pros: Games look amazing at 100+FPS(with my new 3070!) The ultra wide is amazing for games obviously, but the extra screen space for multitasking is amazing too. Very nice display for the price. Cons: cheap plastic stand wobbles. The single ‘joystick’ UI is annoying until you get used to it. The ports face down, so if you lower the adjustable screen, the cables have a sharp bend. The speakers are terrible(but no one will use them) I paid $75 extra for a 4 year full replacement no deductible warranty. If you want some peace of mind.

Best value ultrawide gaming monitor
This monitor is perfect at this price point. Picture is nice, and So far everything has worked great, using G-Sync works too with my GTX 1080ti. No reported issues I've read about online for my monitor. It did take me sometime to get the settings in Nvidia control panel to make my games looks fast and smooth. Now I came from 1440p 144hz TN Dell monitor With NATIVE G-Sync module built in. So at first this monitor fell really slow and blurry during fast movement. But like I mentioned after messing with settings for a while I got it where is Much better. It's not as quick and smooth as the Dell one I had But it's still 144hz and looks alot better overall due to it being VA panel. So for this price I'm not complaining and enjoy gaming on since the certified G-Sync ultrawide monitors cost few hundred more dollars. So for those that are coming from 60hz or 1080p monitors without FreeSync, this for sure will be Really nice upgrade. I know at this time it been sold out, but if you find it somewhere else for similar price, I'd recommend it. Unfortunately mine did come with a chipped foot on the bottom of the stand. I will not dock a star off due to this since it can probably be super glued back on and plus I got it at even lower price at $359. That being said I am considering returning it and just getting the more expensive LG ultragear ultrawide monitor, I haven't decided just yet. In the end this will be a great upgrade for most people, for me the trade off is with the lower response but better image and color (HDR also was nice but nothing mind blowing but not terrible in my opinion, it did looked good in Destiny 2 gameplay), and the size upgrade from my Dell going from 27" 16:9 to this 34" 21:9.

amazing, customizable screen,
Okay, I have to admit, I thought I wasn't getting a good deal on this monitor, I was completely wrong! I tried the 49 inch I liked it but it was taking too much space on my desk ( my desk is not tiny just too much) plus, I couldn't see my Miku FIGMAS and I need to feel loved by them. anyway. Seeing that they were VA panels I thought it would be crap quality. I had 2 27 inch 2k displays but found the borders ANNOYING so, I ordered the Samsung 49 inch... no thank you ( remember too big ?) I decided that maybe a 38 inch is the sweet spot and I was like yes that might do it! I DID NOT WANT A FLAT PANEL NO WAY. The least expensive was a 2k for 900$ from LG and I was like uh uh ... MOVING ON. So, than I saw this . for 399 I was like I can live with a va a panel ( did some research) I was like not bad I can live with this! I thought that my 2 27 inch monitors I had were IPS and I was like I'm down-grading ( so ill live with it because I LOVED IPS so I thought) UNTIL I read the full specs and it turns out IPS can only run at 60 FPS ... and my 2 monitors were at 144 FPS SO guess what ? I HAD VA PANELS THIS WHOEL TIME! I was sold, I just got my monitor and I was not going to pay almost double for a 1080 49 inch monitor and this has speakers for just light listening. I LOVE IT. a little tweaking and it looks great! I play genishin impact A TON ( I like the grind what can I say ). ALL and all, it's a perfect size fits my needs for work ( at home and play). I like that it had dp ports. looks smooth and ghosting love that I can make custom settings for my wants/needs in terms of screen will insert photos GREAT JOB WITH MAKING THIS MONITOR AFFORABLE & AMAZING QUALITY GIGABYTE!
