That said, what you've suggested on the MSI panel is that smearing won't be an issue like this link suggests in general for VA panels: https://preview.redd.it/6g0hnj9ly...d&0
As an aside, the ASUS VG34VQL1B seems to be at a similar price point here for 34" curved and is the best rated 34" on RTINGS for at or below 1500R. Is this one of the x10 panels you tried? Note that the G34WQCA is next on the list after ASUS.
(btw, I did go back and find G34WQCA on Newegg and was able to filter for 34" - good reviews in general, imo)
Thanks, again!
Awesome. You're welcome. Glad I could help.
I'm also glad you seem to understand how curvature vs distance works. My personal rule is 1500R at or below 34", and 1000R at or above 34". Yes, this means both are acceptable at 34". I found 32" and smaller looks really goofy with 1000R, and too much neck twisting at anything at or above 1500R when above 34". It is my understanding that Dell makes pretty good monitors (unlike their hardware), but in order for me to consider them, they first need to put their big boy pants on and attempt 1000R. I'll even settle for 1500R. But they refuse to try either at 34" or above.
As for HDR... prior to the Artymis, I was 100% convinced HDR was a gimmick. The other monitors solidified this opinion as well. But the Artymis really lets it shine. I've learned one of the key factors is brightness. I usually despise bright screens, and would keep my brightness setting near minimum at all times. Now I keep it around 15-30% while working, and HDR mode (not changeable) when gaming. Good HDR on a good display is nothing short of stunning. It is absolutely NOT a gimmick, and I highly recommend spending a higher price tag just for good HDR alone. The G34WQCA will not impress you with HDR, but it can impress you on price if you can live without it. If it can be bought below $350, it's a great buy. The Artymis frequents the $600-650 mark, but I got mine for $549 without jumping through any hoops. It was just the right timing. I'd say if it's at or below $600 it's a buy. Above that, it seems a bit steep. You can use the 3C's aka Camel3x (because they censor the actual name here) to track Amazon prices.
Regarding ghosting, no VA panel is immune. However, my eyes pick up on smearing/ghosting *very* easily. The Artymis was the best of all the ones I tried, which included IPS panels. It barely ghosts at all, even at 60Hz on older games. I can't even remember the last time I saw it ghost now that I'm thinking about it. As confident as I am in this, I must also say YMMV, because everyone sees differently, and everyone has different expectations.
If I absolutely have to give a negative mark on the Artymis, it's that I can see some symmetrical clouding only on jet black load screens. But it's not terrible. The minute it goes to anything but solid black, it completely disappears. Severity I'd say is a 2 out of 10. This may also fall under that 'each panel is unique' thing, and may not be an issue with another.
As for the VG34VQL1B, yes, I did try that one as well. It was one of my least favorites. It had the most severe ghosting/smearing issues of all (even Rtings dinged it hard for smearing), several stuck/dead pixels yet not enough to classify as a warranty fix (each panel is different, YMMV), black uniformity/clouding was atrocious (also confirmed by Rtings), and was just overall underwhelming. IMO, the Gigabyte was the FAR better monitor between those two. No contest whatsoever. YMMV, I may have just had a really bad panel. But I did try a couple of Asus monitors, and they both were equally terrible. I like their hardware, but I think their monitors need some serious improvement.
I doubt it matters to you, but I plan to keep the Artymis until the Corsair Xeneon Flex drops to around the $1,500 mark. I may try it out then, and see if it's worth the hype and price tag. It's sister LG counterpart is cheaper, but at a fixed 800R, I think it's too aggressive and gimmicky. I plan to set the Flex to a 1000R curve. If the Flex doesn't live up to the hype, I'll keep my Artymis and buy another should it fail catastrophically.
But keep in mind, you need a monster GPU for large screens like the G9 and Flex. When I tried the Samsung G9 at 1440p, my 3090TI could barely remain above 90FPS on most games. It would tank down to 60-70 on some heavy-hitters like FH5. It's 240Hz limit was a pipe dream in all but the OG Super Mario Bros. Monitors really push cards with all that real estate. 4K is a separate but equal drag. That's the key reason I landed at 34" and 1440p. I like my frames...
Hopefully I kept this reply as bias-free as possible and it helps you (or anyone else reading) form your own opinions. Let me know if you'd like any other questions answered. Happy to help and share my experiences.
To be clear with the people talking about the similar monitors, this is not the same. This is a very good IPS panel with 144hz and a kvm switch. The others don't have the kvm switch, which doesn't matter to some (most?). It is also worth a quick search to see the difference between IPS and TN and VA to understand if you are willing to get one over the other.
I love this monitor already and I plan to use it for as long as my other one if I can!
How does this monitor compare to this MSI gaming IPS flat panel with g-sync at $399 like new?

Also 1440 means you can see pixels.
I'm returning it, which is unfortunate because everything else about it (refresh rate, brightness, interface, inputs, colors) are fantastic.
I'm going with a 32 inch 4k with slight curve instead (dell s3221). Not nearly as feature packed but works much better ergonomically for me.

You had me until the second part.
That 1800R curve won't help you much. Nor will that 60Hz refresh rate.

I went to Best Buy and checked out other 32 inch 16:9 monitors that were totally flat and the ergonomics worked fine for me.
I agree with you it's not perfect but that Dell was the best option I had at this price point.
i have this exact monitor, sitting on my desk at home, that i'm currently on. my head is 18-20'' from the screen.
nobody said my work setup was the same case... just giving it as an example, as my setup with the 30'' (i miss-typed 32'') and 2 27'' on either side, being far wider and taller. so i'm used to a crazy wide setup, which is perhaps why this one 34'' flat doesn't bother me at home...
i'm glad you side with other posters... just giving my experience, having the monitor sitting right in front of me as i type.
The response is specific to what's included in the quote. Most people (most likely not including you) get hung up on screen size and do not think about aspect ratios. A 34" 16:10 would be far easier to utilize than a 34" 21:9 for the horizontal plane. The statement still sticks that not just personal, but the majority of users will say 34" ultrawide almost becomes a requirement to be curved, and that the even wider brother 49" ultrawide (dual QHD) monitor is a must for being curved.
FWIW, after having a flat 34" ultrawide for the past 5 years, I was in the camp that it didn't really matter and it was a gimmick.

- Their Amazon review & Q&A sections are consolidated among all models, making it hard to find reviews on the G34WQCA.
- Enough of the negative reviews seemed to indicate great performance out of the box, but faded over time for the 27-inch and 34-inch displays.
- When filtering for "Curved|QHD|IPS", the product description says the G34WQCA is a VA panel. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the filtering...
- Since I intend to get an RTX GPU, I couldn't validate that the G34WQCA will not have an issue w/o g-sync for gaming.
There were enough concerns that I didn't get a good feeling as a consumer trusting my money with the expectation that these will endure. So much so, that I'd rather spend more on the Dell mentioned earlier or MSI's 343CQR (was $599 a week ago), or LG's 34GN850-B if I really feel IPS > VA for my use case. My shopping is in progress...
I run two Samsung g7's. Check them out on rtings...its a VA panel but phenomenal right out of the box.
