The ASUS TUF Gaming VG34WQML5A is a 34-inch 1500R curved ultrawide gaming monitor with 3440 × 1440 resolution, up to 250Hz refresh rate and FreeSync Premium, suited to gamers seeking a wide, fast display for immersive play and high-frame-rate action.
Recommended For
- PC sim-racing and flight-sim players who want a curved 21:9 view that makes supported games feel wider and more immersive.
- PC gamers who want ultrawide immersion alongside a high refresh rate for fast-paced games; reviewers found it responsive, while its 3440 × 1440 resolution gives games a wide field of view.
- Players who prefer stronger dark-scene contrast for games and browsing: the VA panel’s measured contrast was a strength in testing, though it does not match OLED blacks.
- PC users who want room for a game and other windows side by side, such as chat, guides, or work apps; the wide screen and picture-by-picture features support this setup.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- For PC gaming that supports 21:9, the wide curved view gives open-world and other visually rich games more room across the screen, while adaptive sync helps keep gameplay smooth when frame rates vary.
- For racing and flight simulators, the 21:9 curved screen expands the view around the player, making it easier to take in more of the track or cockpit without adding a second monitor.
- For fast-paced PC games such as Valorant or League of Legends, the high-refresh display is aimed at keeping motion clear and responsive; the wide format is best suited to players comfortable gaming in ultrawide.
- For everyday work alongside gaming, the extra horizontal space lets users keep two app windows visible at once—such as a document beside a browser—reducing the need to switch between windows or use a second screen.

Reference Q&A
Q: ASUS VG34WQML5A vs VG34VQL3A: is the 250Hz model worth choosing?
A: Choose the VG34WQML5A if you want the higher maximum refresh rate for fast-paced PC gaming: it supports up to 250Hz, compared with 180Hz on the VG34VQL3A. Both are 34-inch, 3440 × 1440 curved VA monitors with DisplayHDR 400. The VG34VQL3A may be the more suitable buy if 180Hz is enough and it costs less; ASUS lists FreeSync Premium Pro for that model, versus FreeSync Premium for the VG34WQML5A.
Q: Should I get the ASUS VG34WQML5A or the Samsung 34-inch Odyssey OLED G8?
A: Choose the ASUS if you prioritize a 250Hz maximum refresh rate and a VA panel; choose the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G85SD if you prioritize a QD-OLED panel and its 175Hz refresh rate is sufficient. Both are curved 34-inch 3440 × 1440 gaming monitors. The choice is mainly between the ASUS’s higher refresh ceiling and the Samsung’s OLED display technology, rather than screen size or resolution.
Q: Is the ASUS VG34WQML5A a better buy than the Samsung Odyssey G5 34-inch?
A: Choose the ASUS if you want a higher refresh ceiling: it supports up to 250Hz, while the 34-inch Samsung Odyssey G5 G55T is rated at up to 165Hz. Both offer a 34-inch, 3440 × 1440 curved VA display. The Samsung can make sense if 165Hz meets your needs and its price is lower; compare current prices before deciding.
Q: Is this monitor suitable for gaming and office multitasking?
A: Yes. Its 34-inch, 3440 × 1440 ultrawide screen can provide room for side-by-side windows, while the 250Hz refresh rate, FreeSync Premium, and ELMB Sync support gaming. It has height, swivel, and tilt adjustments and supports picture-by-picture, but has no built-in webcam or USB-C port.
Q: Can my PC run this monitor at 250Hz?
A: Possibly, but the monitor’s 250Hz maximum is not guaranteed for every computer or game. The PC’s graphics card, connection, settings, and game performance affect the available refresh rate and frame rate; rendering games at 3440 × 1440 can be demanding. The monitor includes DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 ports.
Q: Will a console use the full width of this ultrawide screen?
A: Not necessarily. This monitor has a 21:9 aspect ratio, so console games or video that output in 16:9 may show unused space at the sides rather than fill the screen. Check the console and the specific game’s ultrawide support if full-screen console use is important.
Q: Are the built-in speakers enough, or will I need external speakers?
A: The monitor has two 2W built-in speakers, which can provide basic audio without a separate speaker setup. For louder or fuller sound, use headphones or external speakers; the monitor also has a headphone connection.
Q: Should I expect black smearing or ghosting when gaming on this monitor?
A: Possibly. Users discussing the VG34WQML5A report differing experiences: some notice black smearing or ghosting, while others describe it as minimal. Its VA panel and 0.5 ms advertised response time do not guarantee that motion artifacts will be unnoticeable to every viewer.
Q: Is this a good choice for both work and gaming?
A: It may suit someone who wants a 34-inch, 3440 × 1440 ultrawide for gaming and desktop work. One owner described it as useful for both, but also reported noticing smearing while scrolling text. Consider that trade-off if you are sensitive to motion artifacts during everyday computer use.
Q: Could VRR flicker be an issue with an NVIDIA graphics card?
A: It could be: one owner using an NVIDIA GPU reported flicker when frame rates changed with variable refresh rate enabled. That is an individual report, not evidence that every unit or NVIDIA setup will have the issue. If flicker is unacceptable, check your own setup during the return period.
Q: What is the main trade-off versus a flat IPS ultrawide?
A: The choice is between different priorities: this ASUS pairs a curved 34-inch VA panel with a listed 250 Hz refresh rate, while a Reddit comparison considered a larger, flat IPS ultrawide with a lower refresh rate. Users also report that VA smearing can be noticeable, so prioritize this ASUS if its gaming-focused specifications appeal to you, and compare IPS alternatives if motion artifacts are a concern.
