In the current large market for PC monitors, it is difficult to know what is most important to consider when purchasing it. There are so many options to choose from many technologies and different functions.
Especially for gaming monitors. Do you need a 144 Hz monitor frequency, perhaps even at 240Hz? Is adaptive synchronization essential, and is it G-Sync or FreeSync? Is HDR a mandatory feature? And what can we say about screen size, aspect ratio, resolution and curvature? There are many things to consider and it really is !.
In this context, the Asus ROG Strix XG35VQ is specific. It is not the largest and largest gaming monitor that can be obtained by measuring 35 inches. It is not the highest resolution gaming screen available with 3440 vsi 1440 pixels or 100 Hz frequency. It is not HDR certified. For example, the Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ and the Acer Predator X27 combine 4K with 144Hz and HDR,.
Here we might think that Asus focuses on things that are really important to games and have included them in a high quality package. Think of it as a modern gaming monitor, built up to the most important elements, and you will have a good idea of what Asus ROG Strix XG35VQ offers as a competitive offer. The problem is that it is offered at a fairly high price. But will it actually give us what we want?
Despite the fact that ROG Strix XG35VQ has been available for some time, it still fluctuates in the price range of € 760. It is expensive compared to other 34-inch and 35-inch wide-angle monitors for players such as the LG 34UC79G.
XG35VQ has a lot of chips from Asus ROG block. This means it is elegant and well-assembled, but only slightly different in design than other ASUS models.
For example, LED lighting with LEDs that design the Asus logo on the desktop, such as under the monitor stand, are not suitable for experienced gamers, but have contributed to a fairly high price.
This means that the model's growth in the market is very stable and adapted to market demand. This also applies to the technology proposed in general. In this case, Asus has chosen a VA LCD panel that clearly displays image quality elements such as contrast and color saturation.
The fact that Asus is only 4ms XG35VQ reaction time is probably the function of this VA panel. Asus offers 1ms capability using Extreme Low Motion Blur technology, but it requires relatively extreme measures to compensate for the relative slowness of the screen itself.
It may not be a huge surprise that the frequency is only 100 Hz, taking into account the VA panel technology. It is worth increasing the 60 Hz standard not only for game monitors.
However, in this group of 144 Hz and even 240Hz gaming monitors it looks a bit weak. This means that you will receive an adaptive screen frequency in the form of AMD FreeSync technology.
In addition, thanks to Nvidia's recent enhancements to unlock the full features of the FreeSync video card, you can safely purchase the XG35VQ knowing that its frequency will function with any graphics card you own, either Nvidia or AMD. I did not want to say the same thing if Asus indicates the perfect compatibility of XG35VQ with Nvidia using only G-Sync technology.
The 4K resolution is theoretically high. But it puts a lot of load on your graphics subsystem. By increasing some pixels on the screen, you can play without problems without buying a video card for 700euro.
There is no HDR certificate and no USB C connection. This is undoubtedly not the best solution to add a screen to the latest gaming laptops.
As long as it is not an HDR certified monitor, the direct visual effect of Asus ROG Strix XG35VQ is at least similar to the lower end of the HDR spectrum, such as panels with DisplayHDR 400 certification.
The 35-inch VA screen is good thanks to its strong contrast and saturated colors.
Of course, we have seen better screens than XG35VQ. By default and factory calibration, both black and white are known to be absorbed. Also, the viewing angle will not compete for better IPS than VA-based monitors.
These little things have a relatively small impact on the real work with the computer, but if it is a game, then, while working in Windows, you can't think about it. Indeed, in a subjective expression, the XG35VQ 100 Hz frequency gives you most of this typical smooth-screen display, which is typically the case with 144Hz and faster screens. Yes, it is possible to see the difference between 100 Hz and 144 Hz, but it is a relatively fine difference.
Asus has encoded five pixel transmission levels in XG35VQ and in the available OSD menu. Press the button up and you will see a slightly ugly cropped area. Set it around halfway and the result will be fast, especially considering the VA basics.
The XG35VQ FreeSync functionality worked directly from the computer with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 testable video card.
