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. 

The best gaming PC is the PC you like to game on, how you like to game on it
