PG27UQ Fan Noise

[Simon Slays]

Hi guys, I’m just wondering if the fan on the PG27UQ has been fixed since the monitor has been out for two years? I am also unsure whether I should go with the PG27UQ or buy the PG35VQ. I have never played on an UW and I am only using the monitor for single player games. I mainly want one of these monitors just for the HDR 1000.

the x27 is a better monitor than the 27uq (owned both), and the 35vq is better than the x35, if you have to go with asus and curved doesn't bother u, then i recommend the 35vq, as the issues on that are for sure fixed. I've heard the 27uq fan got changed to a different one but can't be 100% sure, u can google on that one.

 

As for functionality i'll just list the pros/cons for both the x27 and the 35vq, some of these are subjective

x27 pros: pixel density, flat ips, i've seen it for 1199 on sale. Cons: fan noise, realastic setting is 4k/98hz hdr

35vq pros: quieter fan(s), actual 1440p/144hz uw without subsampling, easier on the gpu than 4k. Cons: 2499, curved va, corner distortion to color accuracy.

 

I have to say I REALLY don't like curved monitors so my friend when given the option went with the 35vq because he can actually run games at 144hz without subsampling.

Thanks for the help, I have an ASUS ROG Strix 2080 Ti and i9-9900K so I would be able to use the monitors easily. It’s just in my eyes the 35 inch is a lot better but I also run into the problem of desk space because the shelf that my monitors sit on is 9 and a half inches in depth and the stand on PG35VQ is 12 inches so it wouldn’t fit. Plus I have never tried UW and apparently it’s a lot more immersive in SP games. Also I live in the UK so the monitors are still expensive over here. PG27UQ - Cheapest is £1960, PG35VQ - Cheapest is £2099.97 and the Acer Predator X27P - £1799.98. That’s the prices for a brand new one anyway. I’m just stuck because desk space is a problem and the PG27UQ is the one that comes closest to fitting.

It's indeed more immersive, and if the price between the 35vq and x27 is 2100 vs 1800, then i'd 100% go with the 35vq if u have the space for it, 2080 ti is barely not strong enough to run 4k/98fps while 1440p uw/144hz is slightly easier to run and overall a better experience, if the curve isn't a negative for you, the desk space is an issue though.

When I said easy to run I meant get 60 FPS 4k, obviously I’d have to lower some in game settings to achieve that though. And yeah the PG35VQ is definitely the better choice I think. Just a shame it probably won’t fit on my desk. I guess I could buy it and try fit it on and if not just send it back and get the PG27UQ instead.

The 35VQ uses a VA panel and it’s not the best. 
 

I’ve had a UQ & X27 and I prefer the ASUS.
