🎞️
Films fill the screen edge to edge
21:9 content plays native — zero letterboxing, wider FOV in compatible games.
🖌️
What you grade is what the client receives

Frequently Asked Questions — Asus TUF Gaming VG34WQ5A
01 What type of panel does the Asus TUF Gaming VG34WQ5A use? ›

02 Can the Asus TUF Gaming VG34WQ5A handle gaming? ›
✓ Yes — the 200Hz refresh rate makes fast-paced titles noticeably smoother than 60Hz. Fast camera pans and character movement stay sharp. 1ms response time minimises ghosting. FreeSync Premium support prevents tearing without V-Sync input lag.
03 Is the HDR on the Asus TUF Gaming VG34WQ5A any good? ›
The HDR400 certification is entry-level HDR ⚠ Not premium HDR. It unlocks HDR signals from Netflix and other platforms, providing a step up from SDR.
