Ultrawide Budget 1440p Gaming Monitor (G34WQC vs Xiami Mi 34)

[TommyTwommy]

I am currently deciding on which monitor to buy for gaming. I bought all the parts I need for my next gaming build and I'm still waiting on the RTX 3080. I currently own a 60Hz IPS display and I definitely won't be taking full advantage of my setup with that

 

I want a

• 144Hz

• 3440x1440

• Preferably VA

• High contrast / brightness

• Below $600

 

Other than high refresh gaming, I also want to watch movies thats why I said I want a VA panel with high contrast / brightness.

 

I am currently considering one of these two:

Gigabyte G34WQC, apparently has amazing contrast ratio which is great for movies, but not so great response times.

Xiamo Mi 34, has a bit better response times, but not as great contrast or brightness

 

I couldn't find any other monitors that fit my needs and I am trying to decide between these two. If you got any other suggestions please share them.

i'd go with the gigabyte one, even a little faster response time doesnt help if you cant tell the difference between wall and enemy with mediocre contrast.
