Pros
Sort
-
Excellent factory accuracy is a standout: one measured unit was exceptionally close to target before calibration, with additional gains possible after profiling.
-
A broad range of video, USB-C, network and peripheral connectors makes the monitor unusually well equipped for its price class.
-
A broad desktop supports multiple applications and long editing timelines; creators particularly appreciate seeing more of the project at once.
-
High-wattage USB-C power is regularly praised for allowing a connected laptop to charge from the monitor.
-
DisplayPort output allows another monitor to be daisy-chained, a useful capability when extending an existing workstation.
-
Photo editors working mainly in sRGB gain a large, accurate canvas for a reasonable price. Very fine or print-oriented work may favor higher pixel density.
-
The 34-inch ultrawide canvas gives editors and multitaskers considerable horizontal room. One owner was immediately impressed by how much of a project fit on screen.
-
Height, tilt and swivel adjustment are praised for helping users find a comfortable viewing position during long sessions.
-
Several assessments find the mix of accurate SDR color, screen space and docking excellent for the money, although one video sees the price as relatively high.
-
The overall verdict is favorable for SDR creators who prize accurate color, a wide workspace and docking; the owner impression is especially enthusiastic.
-
Minimalist black-and-silver styling and slim bezels give the display an understated, professional appearance.
-
The gentle 3800R curve brings the edges inward without the pronounced wraparound feel of aggressive gaming ultrawides.
-
The wide format makes room for side-by-side windows and editing tools without the split between separate monitors.
-
Ethernet connectivity helps consolidate wired networking with display and peripheral connections at the monitor.
-
IPS viewing angles keep color and image quality consistent when seen from the side, a notable advantage over some VA alternatives.
-
The tested panel showed no significant backlight bleeding, a reassuring result for an IPS ultrawide.
-
The tested unit had a reinforced cabinet without obvious manufacturing defects or cheap construction.
-
Built-in cable routing helps prevent a laptop and peripheral workspace from becoming untidy.
-
Calibration can further improve already excellent out-of-box accuracy, though maintaining that precision requires a colorimeter.
-
DisplayPort output sets the ASUS apart from some productivity rivals by enabling a second chained monitor.
-
Straightforward, reachable OSD controls spare users the awkward reaching associated with some monitors.
-
Accessible joystick and front-right control buttons make navigating settings easier than many less convenient designs.
-
The curved IPS panel is valued for wide viewing angles, creator-friendly color consistency and a less aggressive curve than gaming alternatives.
-
The built-in USB hub makes the monitor a useful anchor for peripherals alongside its laptop video connection.
-
The less demanding 3440×1440 resolution is easier to run than 5K2K and other denser ultrawide modes.
-
The 3440×1440 resolution balances usable ultrawide space with moderate hardware demands. It is less crisp and vertically detailed than 4K or 5K2K alternatives.
-
FreeSync and G-SYNC can operate over DisplayPort, adding some flexibility for occasional gaming.
-
Input lag is low enough to feel responsive for everyday desktop use and compares well with typical business monitors.
-
An intermediate TraceFree setting offers the best response balance while avoiding obvious overshoot.
-
Its styling resembles pricier ProArt models and looks polished, even though the core screen technology is more modest.
-
A slim-border design makes the large screen look open and less visually bulky.
-
The measured unit had no major uniformity problem, only minor backlight variation; results can differ by sample.
-
Immersive, slower-paced games are playable and enjoyable despite the limited refresh and response performance.
-
The stand holds the screen firmly, although the large ultrawide cabinet can still show some wobble.
Cons
Sort
-
Fast competitive games are not this monitor's strength. Reviewers point to 60Hz refresh and modest response times as reasons to shop elsewhere.
-
Blacks lack depth and subtle shadow separation can be harder to judge, especially in darker content.
-
Contrast is an evident limitation: measured performance is around the usual IPS range, leaving dark material less convincing than on stronger-contrast alternatives.
-
The 60Hz refresh is fine for productivity but draws criticism for visibly less fluid motion than 120Hz alternatives.
-
The small speakers produce virtually no convincing deep bass, so external audio is preferable.
-
The included speakers are useful as a backup but disappoint with weak output and thin sound.
-
The monitor is almost three feet wide and needs planning around other desk accessories, despite a relatively modest stand depth.
-
The HDMI connectivity is less accommodating than a competing Dell with HDMI 2.1, particularly for gaming-oriented sources.
-
Motion is less fluid than on high-refresh competitors, an understandable tradeoff for a creator-focused 60Hz panel.
-
The pixel density suits everyday side-by-side work but is limiting when scrutinizing fine photographic detail.
-
At nearly 24 pounds, the monitor is heavy enough to make moving and installation less convenient.
-
Response time is acceptable for slower games and office tasks but not especially suited to fast-paced action.
-
Built-in audio is tinny and lacks the body expected from a monitor of this size.
-
The monitor is detailed enough for general editing, but higher-density 4K and 5K2K displays reveal finer text and image details.
-
Fine in moderate lighting, but the roughly 300-nit class brightness struggles with sunny rooms and does little to make HDR highlights stand out.
-
The larger workspace may make interface elements appear small, so some users will need to experiment with display scaling.
-
Glare is reasonably controlled in everyday office lighting, though strong light sources can still overwhelm the picture.
-
The substantial cabinet requires care during initial setup, especially when positioning it on a crowded desk.
-
Full sRGB and Rec.709 coverage suits everyday creative work, but DCI-P3 coverage is comparatively modest and limits broader-gamut ambitions.
-
One assessment likes HDR10's added visual range, but more critical testing finds highlights dull and the overall HDR presentation unconvincing.
Use Cases
Best for
Sort
-
The monitor is consistently recommended for content creators focused on accurate SDR work and useful laptop connections, rather than flagship HDR performance.
-
Side-by-side windows, a broad editing canvas and an adjustable stand make everyday computer work comfortable and efficient.
-
Calibrated sRGB and Rec.709 performance make it well suited to color-sensitive SDR projects, with less flexibility for demanding wide-gamut work.
-
The DisplayPort output makes a two-monitor arrangement easier to build without routing both screens directly to the computer.
-
A single USB-C link can carry display, data, network access and laptop charging, making it especially convenient for laptop-centered desks.
-
SDR video editors get accurate Rec.709 color, room for an editing timeline and handy docking connections; HDR mastering is outside its strongest area.
-
USB-C display support with substantial power delivery reduces the need for separate charging and video cables.
-
Casual gaming works reasonably well, especially for slower titles, but competitive action is better served by a faster display.
-
The creator-focused color capabilities and ergonomic ultrawide layout make it a sensible option for graphic-design work in standard color spaces.
Conditional or not ideal for
-
Bright-room viewingDim lamps and average overhead lighting are manageable; direct sunlight or a bright nearby lamp can make the screen hard to see.
-
Portrait orientationThe stand does not pivot into portrait orientation, making this ultrawide a poor fit for vertical-screen layouts.
