Review
The power adapter is huge
Mr. GadgetTo be frank, the power adapter is large and gets in the way.
Installation is easy.However, we would like more detailed instructions in the user manual.
Align the tabs and holes securely when connecting
Mr. GadgetAttaching the base and stand was easy, but personally, I struggled a bit with attaching the stand to the main unit…
By the way, the user manual does not provide detailed instructions on how to install it.
While this might be fine for those who are used to assembling monitors, caution is needed for those who are not.
The Interfaces Are Reasonably Well-Equipped
As mentioned when introducing the specifications, the detailed interfaces are as follows.
- HDMI 2.0 × 2
- USB-UP × 1
- USB × 1
- LAN port × 1
- DisplayPort (DP1.4) × 1
- 3.5mm audio jack × 1
- Type-C port × 1
- Power port
Mr. GadgetPretty much all the commonly used ports are included!
Range of Motion
- Left/Right: 20°
- Up/Down: 90 mm (±5 mm)
- Tilt: -5° to 20°
You can adjust the monitor angle as shown in the photos below.
The monitor height can also be adjusted in the same way.
A gaming-inspired rear panel
Mr. GadgetThough since it’s on the back, you can’t see it at all (laughs).
Monitor settings are cumbersome
Monitor settings and power on/off are controlled using this function button located on the back of the monitor.
Pressing this function button once brings up the monitor settings menu.
Additionally, as shown in the image below, pressing it to the left is assigned to BACK, and pressing it to the right is assigned to ENTER.
Mr. GadgetIt was kind of a pain having to reach around to the back of the monitor every time I wanted to change a setting.
Mediocre Speaker Sound Quality
There are two speakers built into the bottom of the monitor and one on the upper rear.
While there’s nothing particularly frustrating about them for normal use, if you ask whether the sound quality is good, it isn’t.
I doubt anyone is expecting high sound quality from this monitor, but personally, I think you’re better off buying external speakers.
A Display Capable of Vivid Rendering
Mr. GadgetIt’s quite hard to convey fully even through photos, but just for reference…
It renders images so beautifully that I had zero complaints regarding resolution or color reproduction!
Curved Ultrawide Displays Are Amazing
First of all, at 34 inches it is tremendously wide, allowing you to work with a two-screen or three-screen layout.
Mr. GadgetI was able to work across multiple windows without feeling any awkwardness!
Also, because it’s a curved display, your field of view expands and the strain of shifting your gaze is reduced!
The bezels are also narrow, making it easier to focus on gaming and work.
Mr. GadgetHaving narrow bezels is surprisingly an important aspect.
Since the amount of information that can be displayed at once varies depending on the bezel size, I think it’s a huge advantage for people who play FPS games!
High refresh rate: 144Hz!
As we mentioned when introducing the specifications, the “Jlink D34QR4K” supports 144Hz.
Mr. GadgetWe were amazed by the smooth visuals!
Also, a high refresh rate is indispensable for split-second gaming, making 144Hz a welcome feature!
Conclusion
High overall perfection!
After using the “Jlink D34QR4K” this time, we felt that it doesn’t have any major weaknesses.
It has both high resolution and a high refresh rate, and even includes built-in speakers.
Additionally, the interface is well-equipped.
And above all, the curved ultrawide display is the defining feature of this monitor.
With few drawbacks and many advantages, we think this is a monitor we can recommend to anyone!
However, these advantages are best utilized when playing games like FPS titles, so it is especially recommended for those who play such games!
