Ultrawides can accommodate larger and more powerful pairs, but we think its only fair to lose them for this model since its considerably more affordable. In spite of paying attention and showing great sensitivity when providing the information, we can not guarantee 100% accuracy. The vertical frequency/refresh rate shows how many times in a second the image on the screen is refreshed. You can easily adjust it, except you can't rotate it into portrait mode, but that's normal from an ultrawide monitor.

Thanks to the extremely short response time of just 1 ms (MPRT), streaks or drag effects are also a thing of the past. Even if you want to use it for office use, the AOC has more USB ports and has Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture modes, which the LG only has if you download a driver. Whilst it isn’t ideal for competitive multiplayers, it certainly excels in other game types – story-based and free world titles. The narrow edge and the ñ or frameless frame minimize the disruption of the bezel and achieve an unbeatable combat position. Panel uniformity for the AOC CU34G2 test unit was overall decent except for the upper quadrants of the screen which looked slightly dimmer in dark scenes.Like with the PS5, it stretches the image to fill the 21:9 aspect ratio by default; you have to disable Adaptive-Sync on the monitor to change the aspect ratio to '27" 16:9'. Even more frustrating is that, once you’ve found your way into the on-screen display, it’s still a pain to actually navigate the various menus that it offers. Image quality isn’t as strong as some comparable models we’ve reviewed like the Philips 346B1C, but this model is noticeably faster in both latency and pixel response time.

Typical for gaming monitors, AOC’s CU34G2 and CU34G2X feature multiple inputs to connect to multiple devices, offering one DisplayPort 1.

Another difference the AOC CU34G2 has with its higher-tiered sibling is its connectivity layout which has fewer ports. That's why this monitor offers height adjustment options, which help you find the perfect posture while working, playing, or watching. Like most of the monitors within AOC’s arsenal, the CU34G2 comes with an understated design that is neither boring nor overly gamey. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. The large 34″ panel provided great immersion, allowing me to really focus on the game and nothing else.The new CU34G2 and CU34G2X monitors are based on 34-inch VA panels that feature an aggressive 1500R curvature as well as a 21:9 aspect ratio. The AOC CU34G2 boasts a 34-inch curved VA panel with a 3440 x 1440 resolution, 100Hz refresh rate, and 4ms response time. The AOC CU34G2’s color coverage is comparable to the AOC CU34G2X, starting with an sRGB palette that exceeds 100% and around 85% of Adobe RGB. For example, overdrive is not set out of the box – meaning it won’t have the advertised 1ms response time.
