AOC unveiled the CU34G2XE/BK, a new 34-inch 21:9 monitor geared toward gaming enthusiasts seeking high refresh rates. This curved 34-inch 1440p 144hz monitor promises an immersive experience, boasting a one-millisecond response time.
The CU34G2XE/BK from AOC caters to gaming needs with its 3,440 x 1,440-pixel resolution, providing an extra-wide 34-inch display. The curvature, set at a 1,500-millimeter radius, enhances immersion and ergonomic comfort, a boon for users seeking an expansive widescreen view.
At a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz and boasting a one-millisecond MPRT response time, this 34-inch 21:9 monitor supports FreeSync Premium, ensuring synchronization between the graphics card’s output and the monitor’s display to prevent image tearing.
Equipped with an HDMI 2.0 input and a DisplayPort, the monitor supports HDR10, although its maximum brightness of 300 cd/m² might limit its high-contrast capabilities. While covering around 90 percent of the DCI-P3 color space and completely filling the sRGB color spectrum, it lacks USB ports or a Type C port due to its compact design.
Height and rotation adjustments are absent in the AOC CU34G2XE/BK; only the tilt angle can be modified. However, it can be mounted on an alternative stand or monitor holder using VESA (100 x 100 millimeters) compatibility.
