Xiaomi Mi Curved GL 34″
If you’re a gamer, you’ll know that monitor size matters just as much as resolution. We have been looking for large monitors so that you can enjoy your favorite games to the fullest. The first of the options and that would be our favorite if we had to choose one, is this 34-inch Xiaomi monitor.
This Xiaomi monitor has a 34-inch IPS type panel with a resolution of 3440×140 pixels. We are talking about a monitor with a 21:9 aspect ratio, being of the ultra panoramic type. This monitor offers us a curvature 1500R, which is not bad for gaming. In addition, this monitor offers us a sRGB color coverage of 121%, to offer more intense colors.
For gaming, the refresh rate is very important, almost more than the resolution. This monitor offers us a 144 Hz refresh rate and implements the AMD FreeSync technology. This technology adjusts the screen refresh rate to the amount of FPS offered by the graphics card for an optimal image experience, without flickering and similar problems.
The truth is that this monitor is a very good option, since it has excellent characteristics. Plus, even the connectivity is great, with two HDMI 2.0 and two DisplayPort 1.4.
Lenovo L32p-30
There are countless options on the market designed for all types of use. Some, as is the case with this monitor, include a webcam to make video calls and even, to stream. Although this Lenovo monitor is not the typical one designed for gaming, it is a very interesting option if you want to start on Twitch.
This monitor offers us a 31.5-inch IPS panel with a 3840×2160 pixel resolutioncome on, it’s a 4K monitor. This monitor has a 16:9 aspect ratio, somewhat lower than the Xiaomi monitor. The color coverage is DCI-P3 at 90%, which is much lower than the previous case.
Perhaps the worst thing about this monitor is the refresh rate, which is limited to just 60 Hz. Although it offers support for AMD FreeSync, It is not very interesting since the refresh rate is limited in an important way. We can use it to play, but being more expensive than the Xiaomi model, it doesn’t seem interesting to us.
Where this monitor stands out is the built-in webcam with a viewing angle of 90 degrees and 1080p resolution. If we are going to stream, then implementing a webcam is already something interesting. The connectivity is not bad, since it has an HDMI and a DisplayPort, as well as a USB-C Gen1 and four USB 3.2 Gen1. Anyway, to play it would not be our choice.
MSI Optix MPG321QRF-QD 32″
Continuing in the line of large format monitors, we have this one designed by MSI, which is 32 inches. The truth is that it has some interesting aspects, but its price makes it prohibitive. Actually, if we analyze the characteristics, it differs little from the Xiaomi monitor.
We start with the type of panel, which is a IPS-type with Quantum Dot technology, which offers more accurate color. Thanks to this technology we have a 144% sRGB color coverage, which is more than interesting. It also offers support for DisplayHDR 600 and includes a solution called “night vision” to highlight dark areas. When you need to complement your monitor with something that “lightens” the dark areas, bad.
Does this monitor have a 1440p resolution and a 16:9 aspect resolution, so it’s just a widescreen monitor, nothing more. This monitor offers us the technology NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible, which is almost the same as saying that it offers support for AMD FreeSync. There really are no differences in this regard. It integrates two HDMI 2.0b and a Display Port 1.4, as well as three USB-A.
The truth is, it has a fairly high price and is uninteresting in our view. The Xiaomi monitor has a much more adjusted price and offers very good features.
