A Complete Review On Asus Designo 34″ Curved Monitor
Asus Designo series already won many people’s hearts by their attractive and stylish look but most of the models of this series are restricted to 60Hz which puts many gamers off. To satisfy the gamers’ needs and for competing with the growing market, Asus launch Asus Designo 34 inch Curved Monitor which comes with 100Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync support feature. Also, decent Harmon Kardon speakers enhance the output of this monitor. It may be a bit of a surprise but MX34VQ gives all these features at a reasonable rate. This makes it one of the top-selling products in the market.

Why Should You Opt For This Device?
In my opinion, if you are a hardcore gamer, then the new Asus Designo MX34VQ Curved Monitor with a 34” edge-to-edge display will boost your gaming experience. The 1800R steeper curve also boosts the viewing experience but because of the fat body, this extra curve does not give an unnatural feeling to the user.
The lack of VESA holes will disappoint some of the users because it decreases the flexibility of the stand. This model comes with ergonomic flexibility which can only offer you tilt adjustment. But we can ignore this point because Asus compromises the flexibility in exchange for one of their key features, QI wireless charging unit which is integrated into the base. Another feature which really attracts me is their speakers. Most of the monitor manufacturing companies neglect this feature but Asus added two 8-watt stereo speakers with Harman Kardon Audio in this current model which provides a much cleaner and richer sound output than other brands in the market. Addition of ‘AudioWizard’ graphic equalizer will also make tweak-happy users.
Pros:
- New AMD FreeSync enabled
- 5W wireless QI charger with Aurora lighting feature
- 3,440 x 1,440 resolution with edge-to-edge display
- 21:9 wide aspect
- 100Hz Display at a cheap price
- Same elegant design as ROG
- More depth and bass in speakers
- On-screen display controls with an OSD
- High minimum refresh rate with LFC support
Cons:
- There are no USB ports
- Poor brightness uniformity
- Not slim compared to other branded models
- Limited flexibility because it only supports tilt adjustment.
- Asus battery is slow at charging. It only supports 5W of power delivery where other devices give 10W power delivery.
If you are looking for an attractive and stylish looking monitor with the latest technology at an affordable price, then this device is specially made for you. I will personally recommend this device to gamers for its high frame rate, great display, and great sound output. So, don’t wait and bring this latest monitor to your home to experience uninterrupted gaming sessions.
