Introduction

The ASRock Phantom Gaming PG34WQ15R3A is a 34-inch ultrawide gaming monitor equipped with a curved WQHD (3440x1400) VA panel. The panel has a 165 Hz refresh rate and carries the AMD FreeSync Premium badge, although you can also use the adaptive synchronization technology on GeForce GTX 10 series and newer NVIDIA graphics cards. Other specs include a 1 ms MPRT response time, 115% sRGB color gamut (91% DCI-P3), 550 cd/m² maximum brightness, and VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.



The PG34WQ15R3A is a premium monitor in ASRock's portfolio. As such, it's very versatile in terms of adjustability, and you also get some unexpected extras, such as a small OLED display in the base, an RGB lighting system behind the stand, and, most interestingly, a 7 dBi wireless antenna, also integrated into the stand. The idea behind the antenna is to significantly improve Wi-Fi speed and range, especially for users who keep their PC case under the table and whose motherboards are equipped with lower-quality Wi-Fi antennas.

The Package

The ASRock Phantom Gaming PG34WQ15R3A comes in a simple cardboard box with a couple of sketches of the monitor and a list of its key features.


The monitor is bundled with every cable you might need, including two Wi-Fi antenna extension cables, which we'll get to later in the review. ASRock also threw in a nice Phantom Gaming branded cable sleeve.
