Ultrawide QUAD HD (3440x1440), 100 Hz overclocking, G-Sync, and IPS. While the HP Omen X35 is a VA panel, we want to find out which one of them is the better choice for which games or purpose. After I've tested the Omen I really was curious to find out everything within the Asus PG348Q. Compared to the Omen the Asus have a native 60 Hz refresh panel which can be overclocked while the Omen has 100 Hz without overclocking. This, unfortunately, causes an issue called "pixel inversion" in form of horizontal scan lines. I've tried to capture these scan lines on camera which you can find at review updates, but on camera, they are pretty hard to notice. In the video review, I'm trying constantly to compare with the Omen, to give you the best opportunity within your buying decision. At the end, of course, you have to decide with which disadvantages you can live rather. Everything else you will find out in the YouTube video review to the Asus PG348Q and within the review updates within this written review. 

Updates and new information around the Asus PG348Q can be found at the bottom of the article or in the table of contents (if available). Also available within the forum (click here).

Review Updates

1. Update: Pixel Inversion (horizontal lines on 100 Hz)

Pretty hard noticeable (for me) but still an issue of the pg348q. It's also hard to see on photos and not easy to show how this looks in person, but in general, you have @overclocked modus very fine lines in uniform and brighter / medium image content such as the sky from the Nvidia g-sync pendulum. Thanks for the post@ youtube. I'm also only human and as I mentioned, updates will be posted here in this forum. The link will be in future under each of my reviews to avoid such problems.

 

2. Update: coil whistle

some users have problems with coil whistle when overclocking in combination with bright images. I tested this with OC to 100 Hz, Brightness 100 and a full white screen. I couldn't notice anything. I also hold my ear directly to the backside of the monitor.
