Nixeus EDG 34” Ultrawide 3440 x 1440 AMD Radeon FreeSync Certified 144Hz 1500R Curved Gaming Monitor with Tilt Only Stand (NX-EDG34S)

I've been using this monitor for a few weeks now, so it's about time for a review. Out of the box, I was very impressed. The stand is very sturdy and easy to assemble, though the instructions aren't very clear on which screws to use. It's also not adjustable height wise, but luckily it's perfect for my setup. I had purchased a DP 1.4 cable, but this monitor came with one. Upon starting it up, I was absolutely blown away by the colors and clarity. Still haven't felt a need to mess with the colors on the OSD, I simply enabled 10-bit in the Nvidia control panel as well as FreeSync. Paired with a 1080ti and a Ryzen 1700, I have no problem getting 100+fps on max settings on most games. I don't have the slightest bit of ghosting with the response time set to low, which is very impressive for a VA panel. I'm glad I chose this instead of the more expensive LG with an IPS panel. I also wasn't sure if I'd like the aggressive curve, but I actually do. It does make gaming feel slightly more immersive. There are a few issues though, it's not perfect. There is a tiny bit of glow at the top and bottom, but I only notice it when booting my PC. It's not that bad, certainly nothing compared to an IPS panel. But it does exist, unlike my TN panel. Not really an issue, just thought I'd mention it. The other issue is flickering when using FreeSync. It's FreeSync certified between 48-144hz, so expect it to flicker when you're hitting less than that in games. Generally loading screens are 30hz, which is the only time I notice it. I contacted Nixeus, and they said that is normal and turning down the brightness helps. I turned my brightness down to 20 (still plenty bright enough) and it almost completely went away. After researching, this is expected with all 144hz 3440x1440p G-Sync/FreeSync (mainly FreeSync) monitors to some degree. Overall, if this monitor was $800, I would still recommend it. At the price of $600 (I paid $550 during pre-order) it is an amazing bang for your buck. If you have a 1080ti, 2080, 2080 Super, or 2080ti, I would definitely jump on this.

I really love the specs, of course. 3440x1440 Ultrawide is amazing. On top of that, the blacks are VERY good, better than my Samsung 8-series 4k panel. Love the curve, love that G-Sync works even though it's a free sync mmonitor (and works perfectly). It's even HDR ready- thats a lil hit or miss , worked for Netflix videos in 4k/HDR great- not as great in Battle Field V and Red Dead 2, but still pretty damn nice although i turned them off. Colors are GREAT. you can run 4:4: 10-bit at the same time, or RGB/10-bit/full color spectrum . Both at 144Hz. Make sure to buy a DP1.4 cable with 32gbps bandwidth. -although i actually didnt test the one from the box so it might be ok. there are good ones on Amazon for $15. I was given one by my neighbor bc my got lost in shipping. Overall , this is a quality monitor, and really good for the price. DP1.4 and Samsung's newest VA panels. Hella good for $550.

I waited for 2 years for the Acer X35 and then sent it back the day after I got it because it was absolute trash. Given it's price of $2500 I was already less inclined to be forgiving, but givet its state I'd have sent it back even if it was $500. That brings me to this here Nixeus EDG 34”. I bought it as a temporary monitor just to last me until something good would appear on the market. To my surprise it turned out to be quite a nice piece of hardware. It's more than bright enough (I'm actually running it at 60% brightness), the G-Sync works to my satisfaction, and I do enjoy the steeper than average curvature. Ideally it'd be even more curved, a 1000R perhaps, but I'd have to wait for the Odyssey G9 to come out for that one. Given the very low price and some impressively good specs, such as the 144Hz refresh rate, I cannot help but be impressed. Of course, it would be unreasonable to expect a $550 monitor to be perfect. Its panel does suffer from the standard VA light leaking "Batman" pattern. The HDR is entirely unimpressive (though I have to qualify that by saying that I don't like any existing monitor's HDR implementation). The stand is primitive with no vertical movement. Lastly, the transition from black to white is slow, which you can see if you scroll a white piece of text on black background. Overall I am happy with Nixeus. I spend my time programming and playing games, (naturally I browse the web and watch videos as well) and the monitor delivers reasonably high quality experiences. The problems I listed above are largely unnoticeable unless you look for them (light leaking) or are easily mitigated (I replaced the stand with an arm mount). In fact I had a lot more bad to say about the expensive and ostensibly fancy Predator X35. If you want an ultrawide monitor but are either on a budget or, like myself, are waiting for something major to hit the shelves, this one will likely check all the boxes.

When I ordered this monitor, I did quite a bit of searching. I only had a couple of requirements so I was fairly open. I wanted a 34"-35" monitor with 144mhz speed. The Nixeus hit my radar after a fair amount of searching. In the end, it had pretty good reviews on Amazon and it was one of the least expensive 144mhz panels I could find in my size range. I was a little worried about some reviews that indicated bad pixels or poor manufacturing quality but I decided to purchase anyway. The use case was a good size monitor that I could use in my home office for working at home and then repurpose for gaming when this mess is all over. Below are some observations: Pro: -The monitor seems to have very good build quality -The stand is a bit "thinner" but I would not call it flimsy at all. -The picture is great and no tearing observed (although not stressing it yet) -My usage isnt really maxing performance but overall, I am very happy with the monitor Con: -The product page indicated shipping which made me expect ~10-14 days. It took almost 4 weeks for delivery. (by the way, this wasnt a terrible con.. just wanted it sooner.)

Building my wife and I identical new PCs and we wanted to step up from our aging 1080p 16:9 monitors. I decided to give this a try and very glad I did. Paired with our Sapphire Nitro+ 5700 XT cards, this monitor has a great picture quality and super smooth gameplay with Freesync and refresh up to 144hz. I wasn't sure about making the move to ultrawide, but I don't think i can ever go back to gaming on 16:9 after experiencing this. So much real estate you can work with, which is great for UI customization in MMOs or other games. The stand is very basic but gets the job done. Otherwise, if you're looking for a large ultrawide for gaming, I'd definitely consider this product.

This monitor absolutely exceeded all of my expectations. I've always been more of a high end tv guy, doing all of my gaming previously on a Samsung q9fn 4k HDR tv, but decided to give an ultra wide monitor a try. I absolutely had to have 1440p and 144hz. That was non negotiable. And it had to be a VA panel. Ips may be better for shooters but nothing bothers me more than a washed out image and backlight bleed with grey blacks. The contrast on this monitor does not disappoint which is impressive considering I'm used to a tv with almost 600 zones of local dimming. Brightness is also superb for a monitor. They say its 400 nits which I believe to be true. Not bright enough for true HDR but, it's perfect for gaming up close. Any brighter and I think eye strain would be noticable. Colors are good. Not sure if it's a true 10 bit panel but there's little to no banding on gradations of color on screen and the color volume is very impressive. Overall it's a hell of a value. The overall aesthetic isnt anything special, but very clean and simple. The back looks cheap but you're never looking at that part so who cares. If you have the cash, buy it. You wont be sorry.

You'd have a hard time finding another monitor with these specs at this price. I bought this from Amazon when it was still being sold for $550 for Black Friday. I was considering the MSI Optix MPG341CQR, but was ultimately willing to give up the few ms of g2g response time for $250 less. There is just a little backlight visible where the curve of the screen is most pronounced about a quarter of the way in on either side, but it's no where as bad as some IPS models I've seen, and won't be noticeable once you have full colors on the display. The monitor comes with a stand, but without vertical adjustments it will be useless for most. I'd recommend getting a Vesa mount instead. The manual that is provided was sparse to say the least. For example, the monitor ships with three different types of screws: one set for attaching the legs to the stand, one set for attaching the stand to the monitor, and another set to attach the monitor to the "wall mounting brackets" (aka the Vesa mount adapters). And even though it's pretty simple via trial and error to figure out which screws are used for which application, it would have been nice if the manual mapped screw set A to application A, etc. The manual also doesn't explain how to attach the Vesa mount, which is also not terribly difficult to figure out, but is just another sign of cut corners in the manual. It was a little confusing at first, as the internet description says it has an "included VESA 75mm x 75mm plate". But that's not entirely correct; it comes with two brackets that screw into the back where the backplate is situated that need to be oriented on the top and bottom set of screws (they're marked as "up" and "down"). At first I was searching around the box for a single "plate" that didn't exist. Overall this monitor is a great value. I'd buy again, and would recommend.

My 16:9 TN panel Dell monitor started showing display issues, so I opted to move into widescreen gaming. I took a bit of a gamble and bought this because of the mostly positive reviews and the price. 3440x1440 144hz just doesn't get any less expensive than this. In terms of panel quality, I did not run into any of the QA or defect issues some others reported. I see no dead pixels, faint lines through the screen, etc. Everything seems above board here. This monitor looks great...when viewing a still image. Which, of course, you generally aren't doing when gaming, and only gamers care about high refresh rates. Once things start moving, all of the problems become very apparent. Let's start with G-Sync. This monitor is not on NVidia's official "supports G-Sync" list but the manufacturer advertises compatibility as a feature, so we should be able to enable it anyway and party, right? Well, sort of. It does work in the very technical sense of the word, but it has its issues. Mainly, loading screens do the flickering thing some people talk about, which itself wouldn't be a huge deal, but the other major issue is that certain colors or patterns will make the brightness of the picture fluctuate unexpectedly, causing a flashing effect that is very distracting and obviously not supposed to be happening. I'd say it's pretty clear that the manufacturer did not put this through any real QA testing for G-Sync to ensure obvious bugs and problems don't occur, so use G-Sync at your own risk. I don't have an AMD video card to test whether these issues are specific to G-Sync or affect adaptive sync in general. Moving past that, let's talk about the issues that happen regardless of G-Sync being enabled or not. Or I should say issue, but an issue that is so bad on this display that it is inexcusable even for a VA panel; image smearing. What good is a high refresh rate if the pixels themselves can't actually update fast enough to keep up with the refresh rate? I tried tweaking every setting in the menus I could find, but most either did nothing or just traded some blur for some ghosting, which isn't really a huge improvement. I've attached a video to show how bad the smearing is; the footage is from the game City of Heroes. In particular, pay attention to the guy in the purple pants and look how the purple just smears all over the place as I move. In virtually every game I tested, the entire game screen noticeably blurs any time I move or change where I am looking. To be clear, almost all of the above ceases to be a major issue by running the panel at 60hz with no adaptive sync enabled, but that's not what you paid for, is it? If I wanted 60hz and no adaptive sync, there are cheaper options. Hell, the Dell ultrawide I use for work that I got 5 years ago would work if this is what I wanted. I paid a premium for features that are only supported in the most literal "you can't sue us over not supporting it" sense, not in the "you'd actually want to use them in their current state" sense. For that reason, I have a hard time suggesting this even as a budget option for the listed features. You'd be better off either spending more to get those features in a good display, or spending less for a display without those features, rather than paying a premium for features that don't work well enough to justify using them.
