After recently looking at the Predator X34P, Acer's new 34" ultrawide gaming display, we have to say that while it's a pretty awesome product, the high price tag of $1,300 puts it out of reach of budget-oriented buyers. Today we're looking at a monitor from Asus that brings a similar experience for a lot less money.

Now when I say less money, I don't mean we?re suddenly talking about a $200 monitor. However the Asus ROG Strix XG35VQ does come in at $800, which is an enormous $500 difference.

And we still get a lot of the same features: a 35-inch 3440 x 1440 VA panel with a 1800R curve, a 100Hz refresh rate, and FreeSync support. It doesn't have the marginally higher 120Hz refresh of the X34P, nor does it have G-Sync, but otherwise we?re looking at a similar experience for gaming.
