[@DennyFatKid]

Have this for more than a year now. Very happy with my purchase even though in the 11th month I got dead pixels then a broken panel, returned it and they replaced it with no hassle. The 1 year warranty was a savior.

[@jayceedaily]

Thats awesome! Glad it was no hassle to get it replaced

[@moraleskennethvil]

Ok denny boy

[@CJMorshed]

do you need a box for it?

[@ohai1526]

Happy with your purchase when you had to return it in less than a year? Wow

[@DennyFatKid]

@@ohai1526 Thing is if you're in a budget there nothing else out ther that compares to its specs. if it didnt work anymore after a year. it was still a deal. Im still using it now by the way

[@seventeen9718]

Had thos for about 1.2 years, still going strong. One of my best purchases to date, looks clean af.

Do you have any complains regarding the reponse time of 4ms? Do you notice any ghosting while playing shooters?

[@seventeen9718]

@@Hallo81398 I'm not a pro by any means but I play a lot of hours of Apex Legends and never notice it. I used to play CoD on 1ms and imo this is practically the same, very little difference.

[@seventeen9718]

@@Hallo81398 Is very GPU intensive depending on game though, obviously

[@llai8501]

I paid USD $340 for this monitor in December 2020. Almost 2 years on, it's great! My only fault/gripe on this monitor are the poor OSD port switching capabilities requiring so many clicks. I'm used to it now but I wish there was a quick switch function.

Do you have any complains regarding the reponse time of 4ms? Do you notice any ghosting while playing shooters?

[@Matt_Matt96]

​@@Hallo81398you're better off getting a 1ms monitor if you're a competitive gamer. I don't have this monitor yet, but I do have a 21 inch 5ms monitor and I can still do very well, my reaction time is pretty good so I don't feel like I'm at a disadvantage.

[@Passarinho86]

Great video. Thanks for listing all the products in this video, as well.

[@argonauttales]

I have this monitor and like it so far, just be careful to set it to 144hz in your windows settings otherwise it will default to 50

[@jabantaoo5785]

@@argonauttales Hi Argonaut! Do you get black bars when playing League? Or any other games? Thanks!

[@argonauttales]

@@jabantaoo5785 If the game doesn't natively support the resolution and you play in Fullscreen you get black bars. Valorant has them for example, they aren't distracting though. League supports the full resolution and you actually have a larger pov then on 1920/1080. However if you don't like this new pov you are out of luck unless you don't mind the input lag in windowed mode.

[@poupipou29]

The main downside for me is the lack of a direct source switching button. Instead, you need to navigate deep into the menus :( Makes it a pain to switch between 2 setups

[@k.2768]

Thank u very much , this video is exactly what I was looking for.

[@Hellboy_2109]

Great video! Thanks for making and uploading 👍

[@jayceedaily]

Thanks for watching!

[@Darkknight9035]

the 1 year warranty is concerning... lot of people saying dead pixel/ ghosting/smearing near the year mark... how is it still holding up for you?

[@ThunderKat]

Maybe is the camera but you color calibration seem off:.. Try setting a custom resolution using your GPU software (AMD/Nvidia/Intel) and avoid the one provided by Windows to see if anything change. I use to have that problem on my monitor and fix it that way, maybe your monitor is also conflicting with windows drivers the same way.

[@DJJoeySantos]

Looking for a new monitor for my WFH set-up this is a great review salamat Jaycee!

لطفا گول تبلیغات مانیتور شیائومی نخورید. من تجربه استفاده از دو مانیتور 34 شیائومی دارم. مشکل اول این مانیتور پیکسل سوختگی هست که در رنگ سفید سالید میتونید ببینید و بعد پیکسل از کار افتاده در رنگ مشکی هست مخصوصا در لبه های بالا که اتصالات قرار گرفته است. مشکل بعدی نشت نور به شدت زیاد از پنل هست که از همه گوشه ها وجود داره. این تجربه شخصی من بوده و با نگاهی به سایت آمازون و خواندن نظرات افرادی که خرید کردن متوجه مشکلات زیاد این مانیتور خواهید شد. امیدوارم پولی که به زحمت در آوردید بابت این مانیتور بی کیفیت چینی هدر ندید.

There are plugins/addons for your browser to change the aspect ratio of videos to avoid the black bars.

Bro I need them

[@filthyE]

Do you think this would be good for a Mac setup external monitor? I am also a software engineer, and I work primarily on a Mac for software dev. I also prefer to only use one display because I find more than one to be distracting while I'm coding.

[@itzsultan3157]

i am thinking of getting this for my own mac /gaming pc setup and as far as i know it should work great

How did it go guys? I was thinking of getting one for my Mac (and future PS5)

[@fatihtakey248]

Great review man. What is the lowset brightness level of this monitor? My current monitor's (LG 24mk600m) lowest brightness is too much for me and using it at night becomes difficult.

[@hirokimiyano3861]

Mine broke at 15 months mark. Out of warranty . Repair estimate was $400. So, I had to throw it awy.

[@thanakritliengphrapaipun1272]

how did it broke? Im considering of buying this minitor too but still contemplating.

[@hirokimiyano3861]

Mine just went dark one day. Xiaomi has no history of making monitors. I should've known better. Get a LG, Dell or Samsung. I've been happy with a LG which is much more reliable, for about the same price.

[@SLiX-thatguy11m-]

Some questions: Is the 5ms noticeable compared to 1ms G2G? Is alt-tabbing from Valorant slower because its not native to native? Can you have another window open while playing Valorant? Maybe in windowed mode?

[@jayceedaily]

You can't really notice anything under 10ms. I haven't noticed alt-tabbing issues when playing Valorant. I have my resolution set to 3440x1440 on Valorant, but there are black bars on the side as you can see on the video. If you are in windowed mode, you can have other windows open

Guys i have a simple question! is it good for graphic designs and editing?

Those VA displays are too slow for me. No pro gamer would use it... 144hz doesn't change how slow the pixels are. I still go with TN 1ms.

[@lioryaminnew]

I've heared about VA panels having a text rendering problem, like issue with text sharpness or blurry text when scrolling - did you expirence it? Does the text looks sharp when scrolling? Wish you could create a video sample. I try to understand if the screen is good enough on that aspect (mainly programming, documentation..text)

No problem with that. I mostly deal with text and i have not experienced any issues with rendering. Its sharp even when scrolling

what desk do you use?

[@agamazofficial]

Does it have visible ghosting? Right now I have a Samsung TN panel.

[@thinkpctive8078]

Disclaimer! For gaming, although 144Hz is good, most budget 34” VA monitors comes with “NOTICEABLE” and “SIGNIFICANT” ghosting. So if you don’t need the size, opt for 27 or below monitors to avoid ghosting.

[@jayceedaily]

This has no significant ghosting tho. I’m familiar with the panels that you are talking about. It’s the 60hz-75hz panel that are overclocked to 144hz that has the worst ghosting. The panel on this xiaomi monitor on the other hand is a samsung VA 144hz native panel that’s also used by other known brands.

[@thinkpctive8078]

@@jayceedaily Can you try the UFO test? Using medium-high overdrive, since we want high response times when gaming. Can you include the test in the video?

[@jayceedaily]

There’s a ufo test in this video

[@thinkpctive8078]

@@jayceedaily That ain’t the ghosting test, you used the fps one. Try searching for “UFO” ghosting test. You can use that so that we have a measurable basis instead of relying on “your eyes” as you stated on the video.

[@thinkpctive8078]

@@jayceedaily It has nothing to do with the brand. “Budget” 34 inch high refresh rates monitors come with a ghosting trade-off. That is why I am commenting disclaimer. Also you did not present any kind of evidence relating to your “no significant ghosting.” If you are doing technical reviews please be technical about it. Many rely on these types of reviews before buying.

I have this monitor, but I do experience strong color banding. specially on dark content. are there anything I could do ? I kinda hate it and I am thinking about returning it. If I do return it, then what monitors do not have visible color banding ? are there any ? am I asking too much ? :D I do not know about monitors that much, but I am tech savvy so I am more interested in details (what to look for, to have minimal color banding) Mb any good settings recommendations ?

[@KleinQuintanilla]

bro how do you play with full screen?

[@JiannisX]

Isn’t valorant supported on an ultrawide? Why are there those huge black besles on the side? Thought valorant can have a bigger res than 16:9

[@jayceedaily]

Ultrawide is not supported. If you put 3440x1440 it will still have black bars

[@JiannisX]

@@jayceedaily well that just doesn’t make any sense at all

[@jayceedaily]

I know, it's stupid. There's a reddit post about this topic. If by chance you saw someone using ultrawide on Valorant with the whole screen filled, it's probably stretched 16:9 or zoomed in.

An ultrawide. If you are not bottlenecked by now by a single monitor, you will be in the future. It's just a question of when. The ultimate question now is what type of content are you making on video and graphics? This is a VA panel that is limited by sRGB color space, and some work might need more accurate panel that is DCI-P3 accurate
