Our Verdict
Nixeus EDG 34
ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B
The ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B is much better than the Nixeus EDG 34 for most uses. The ASUS has a higher refresh rate and significantly better response time, delivering clearer images in fast-moving scenes as well as providing better responsiveness. The ASUS is also better for gaming in HDR due to its higher contrast ratio, wider color gamut, and higher peak brightness. It has many more features than the Nixeus, like USB ports, built-in speakers, and a Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture mode.
