This won't be a problem for most people looking at the monitor straight on, but it may not work for less conventional setups (not that you'd probably want to use it in less conventional setups anyway, given its slight 1500R curve.) The display is VESA-compatible, so you could use it with a third-party arm if you wanted, but that cuts into the cost savings you're getting from this monitor. And while that stand offers all-important height and tilt adjustments, you don't have the ability to swivel or pivot the display. At both 144Hz and 60Hz, it appears to be in the 'Balance' mode, so it's better to set it to 'Picture Quality' for the best results.For example, Gigabyte's design is basic but attractive, with no RGB lighting or flashy accents – just a mostly frameless bezel atop a flat, two-legged stand that keeps wobble to a minimum. This saves you from adjusting the Overdrive setting if you switch to a lower refresh rate or your frame rate drops. There's a 'Smart OD' mode that's supposed to automatically adjust the overdrive depending on the refresh rate. The 'Speed' setting is slightly faster than 'Balance' but also introduces significant overshoot in most transitions, so it's not a good choice. If you prefer a bit of inverse ghosting over a blur trail, it's a good alternative.

The 'Balance' setting is very similar, with a slightly faster rise/fall time but more noticeable overshoot. Like most monitors, you can adjust the level of pixel overdrive, but the 'Picture Quality' Overdrive setting delivers the best results overall. The Gigabyte M34WQ has an excellent response time at the max refresh rate, resulting in very little blur behind fast-moving objects.
