The G34WQC is an extremely well-built monitor for the price. It's a budget-to-low-midrange display, don't get me wrong, but it's one that cuts corners in all the right places. Gigabyte has done an incredible job of keeping costs low without killing important features or degrading performance (with the exception of not-so-great color accuracy). If you have more to spend, there are better monitors out there – but for $450, this is one of the best budget-friendly ultrawides you can buy.

The Gigabyte G34WQC is a great gaming monitor. It has low input lag, and it delivers smooth gameplay with its fast response time and 144Hz refresh rate. It has both FreeSync support and G-SYNC compatibility to reduce screen tearing. It has a high contrast ratio to produce deep blacks, making it a good choice for gaming in the dark. It isn't ideal for co-op gaming, though, as it has poor ergonomics and narrow viewing angles.

The Gigabyte G34WQC competes with more expensive 34-inch 21:9 screens but at a lower price. Extended color and HDR coupled with superb contrast deliver a vibrant and colorful image. If you've been waiting for a price break among ultrawides, the...

The Gigabyte G34WQC Ultrawide will take your gaming to another level. You will finally realize how much of a game you have been missing. So much so, it wont be the same gaming on a 16:9 ever again!

Before the Gigabyte G34WQC, my go-to ultrawide recommendation was the AOC CU34G2X, as it was for many reviewers. With this monitor, Gigabyte has turned that on its head, offering better, brightness, better HDR, and better adaptive sync, all for $50 less. This very well may be the best ultrawide deal on the market today and is well worth the investment.

The Gigabyte G34WQCA is a great budget ultrawide monitor with minor limitations and more to offer per dollar spent. You get a rich and vibrant 3440 x 1440 screen built into a reliable chassis, along with strong gaming performance for the latest titles....

Our favorite aspect of the Gigabyte G34WQC aside from its FreeSync/G-Sync duality is its motion handling and almost blur-free performance. Fast-paced action will not result in a smudgy screen, so it a great pick even if you play games like Warzone or PUBG. The Gigabyte G34WQC is an excellent monitor for the price, and it’s a must-buy if you are looking for a fast ultrawide for gaming and multitasking.
