Purchased this to replace x2 monitors as I didn't have space in my current setup. The difference between this and the N34WQ is that this version (N34HQW) supports HDR, however, it is still an 8 bit panel and not a 10 bit panel so it's not true HDR.

Mine had 1 dead pixel on arrival, however being 3440x1440 you can't really tell.

The stand is narrow which is good, as you can push it back against the wall and still have space for cables and items between your keyboard and screen (likewise you can pull the monitor right up to your keyboard/steering wheel)

I need to have home PC and work laptop plugged in at the same time (both DisplayPort) and the screen is smart enough to auto change based on what is turned on which is great. If both are running its only 4 button presses to change inputs.

Did some colour tweaks from factory and it looks pretty good. This monitor is also sold in AU and Canada under a different brand.

If you don't need HDR, I'd get the N34QW. If you want the option for semi-HDR (for games that actually support HDR) I'd get this. If you need true HDR, you'd have to find a 10 bit panel.

I was a bit apprehensive initially. This monitor is priced several hundred dollars below other monitors with the same specs. But I've been very pleasantly surprised.

Good colors, and refresh rate of 144hz is amazing. I upgraded from a standard 1440p monitor, and there is simply no going back.

The stand is decent but doesn't offer a lot of adjustment, so for those with limited space or want lots of adjustment, I'd recommend a VESA mount for this monitor.

OSD controls are straightforward with no flashy stuff.

Overall: very pleased with this monitor. Grab it on special, and you have a wonderful monitor for the price.

whilst i'm happy with my purchase there was some stuff i wish i had known before hand.
Afaik these are panels that didn't pass Samsung QC with means they aren't Samsung quality panels, but that doesn't mean they're bad.

This one however has some god awful ghosting on both models i received (first had a defect line in the middle of the screen) so expect some bad ghosting between high and low contrast changes.

The colors on this namely red, pink, purple, seem to be very blurry and hard to read at times. i would not recommend this for any professional workloads but for gaming is perfectly fine.

I paid 849 for this monitor on sale and it was great for that price, if i had the money for a better 21:9 panel i would have bought it. but thats an extra 600-700$+

Great value, but not amazing quality.
worth it.

I was a bit hesitant to buy one of these rebranded Samsung panels but when my old monitor carked it and this went on sale the planets aligned . At literally half the price of similar sized ultrawides the value here is insane, mine arrived with no dead pixels and setup was a breeze. Picture quality is excellent and it works well for gaming, as they say once you game at ultrawide you will never go back! Even the vesa mount adapters (although finicky) fit and worked like a charm on my existing mount.

In saying all of that you should still consider a few things. The default picture settings were fairly bad along with the presets found in the OSD menu, because this is a rebranded panel its very difficult to find reviews online but after a bit of digging I found a review of the same panel (although different rebrand) here --https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/nixeus_nx-edg34s.htm#calibration -- which has some suggested calibration settings. When I locked these in it brought the monitor to a new level.
I should also mention the HDR is horrific so shouldn't be considered as a feature...

Finally summary - DO ITTTTTTT

Great price, great quality, a wide screen has improved my productivity Great price, great quality, a wide screen has improved my productivity

Bought this as a dual screen desktop replacement. Works well for that. able to adjust screen height really well. running at 100hz on i7 nuc. resolution is high pin sharp. calibrated screen with spyderx barely altered from factory. had to disable hdr as too bright. recommended for productivity. looks to be too big/wide for gaming.

To clarify, I am no hardcore gamer (though I do enjoy the occasional RPG). I purchased this monitor as I predominantly write code and an ultra wide monitor made sense to me, as opposed to the use of two separate 24" monitors that I have been using for many years.

All I can say is the Titan Army N34HQW 34" Curved UltraWide Monitor is a signifacnt trade up for me. I have been using it for several days now, and have no regrets at all. The image is absolutely crisp and clear, and the viewing window for writing code in VS Code is incredible. I have also watched a couple of films on it, and again, the performance is outstanding.

The image is absolutely crisp and clear, and the viewing window for writing code in VS Code is incredible. I have also watched a couple of films on it, and again, the performance is outstanding. I run Ubuntu Linux on my machine, and it picked up the monitor right out the box. I literally did not have to tweak a single setting on my computer, however I did have to play with some of the monitors own settings, as the brightness was eye dazzling at first.

There are a number of gamma and colour temperature settings for you to play with, along with the usual brightness settings. Some people have complained that the controls are very non-intuitive, but to be honest I haven't had too much trouble with them. These monitors include no speakers, but that is just fine with me, as I buy a display for the purpose of being a display, not to pump out low quality audio :)

As this monitor was pretty big, and i wanted to free up some workspace on my desk too, I opted to mount it to the wall using a VESA bracket. I used this one, which is reasonably priced and in my opinion, is a very tidy and high quality solution that worked perfectly for my requirements too. Note the VESA bracket minimum load weight is actually slightly higher (8kg) than the weight of this monitor (around 6.5kg). With the spring strength screwed down to minimum, it isn't a problem at lower elevations, but I have found that I may need to add additional ballast to the bracket to keep it under control if I want to move the monitor up higher, without it "self rising". This has been a small shortcoming though with this monitor/VESA bracket combo, given the other numerous benefits it has provided.

I got one during lockdown to match the 4k I had at work. This widescreen is great to split into up to 3 screens.

Great monitor for the price Great monitor for the price

I bought this monitor for gaming, specifically World of Warcraft. I was pleased with the brightness and colour saturation. Playing WoW is now even more enjoyable, especially when I discovered my GTX1070 would drive the monitor at 120Hz on the same settings I used for my old 1080P monitor at 60Hz

For everyday use be aware that text gets blurry when scrolling. This is partly reduced by setting the refresh rate to 120Hz. Stationary text is very crisp and clear though.

Had a 34" monitor already and bought the Titan Army since I was running out of screen real estate at work. I mainly use it for spreadsheet work and it is brilliant. Resolution is fantastic and set up was easy - no complaints at all about this monitor. Had a 34" monitor already and bought the Titan Army since I was running out of screen real estate at work.
