Our Verdict
Nixeus EDG 34
Gigabyte G34WQC
Overall, the Gigabyte G34WQC is much better than the Nixeus EDG 34. The Gigabyte has better color accuracy out of the box, better text clarity, and a Black Frame Insertion feature to improve motion clarity. Also, although it has poor ergonomics, they're still better than the Nixeus'. However, the Nixeus has a slightly higher contrast ratio to produce deeper blacks.
