Quick takes: 1) Not an ultra-precise display for color or all viewing angles (I mean, if you need ULTRA perfect), but if you're looking for that, you wouldn't consider this price-point anyway
2) 100% great for general desktop use and gaming-- sitting at the center, color and brightness are uniform from edge-to-edge, and normally-imperceptible color variation from top-to-bottom (you will see it with some colors during a manual calibration, but not normally otherwise)
3) Be prepared to make a lot of adjustments to the monitor's settings in order to get the picture where you want it-- AOC does themselves a disservice shipping it the way it's set, as many out-of-the-box users are going to be confused and disappointed, I expect.
So, out of the box, the monitor is pretty substantial-- it has a heft and build quality I'm used to seeing in more expensive monitors. Setup is as easy as you'd expect for any monitor these days. I used DisplayPort, but the monitor also has HDMI inputs also.
Right away, though, I could see something was off about the monitor's settings, which isn't a huge deal, because you can just change the settings, right? Well, yes, but... this monitor insists on having the MOST HORRIFIC combo of on-screen display and small, identical-feeling, hidden control buttons. Getting around the OSD menu is a nightmare of accidentally exiting menus, turning the monitor off, and paranoia about pressing the wrong buttons.
One thing, right off the bat, that was extra-confusing is that (despite what some of the listing info says above this monitor DOES have HDR). However, turning it on in Windows immediately makes the picture entirely washed out, giving me a new starting point to calibrate and to question the sanity/value of HDR (honestly, with it turned on in Windows and on the monitor, I can't see a big difference, but just some odd behavior in games sometimes.. not even sure why).
I'm not a pro at calibration, but I get the basics and, walking through some online manual (as in, by-hand) calibrations, I both learned a lot about the display, and got the picture to a decent place-- it's annoying the default settings didn't start closer. I was able to get it to a place I like-- others have said things about the brightness, but I've had no issue-- I've had to turn my brightness down a bit to get it to a comfortable place.
Anyway, I recommend it, just know what you're getting into.
IT looks amazing on its own, even without content! Solid metal stand and wide metal feet. Very sturdy. The metal feet have lots of solid, The screen isn't too glossy or too matte. The red trim is well placed and not over done. It looks very modern and professional but still not overly professional.
You definitely need a video card with sufficient power and memory to get this monitor to do 144 hz.. I am using an 8-year old GTX 680 lightning and while it is still a capable card in some respects (I use it for an oculus rift with no problems) its 2Gb of VRAM lack the memory bandwidth required to push 3440 x 1440 at 144 hz. No worries here though, because I'm upgrading my card to a new Radeon 5700 xt with the money i saved by buying this direct from Amazon. (Amazon is the only retailer not price gouging and sells this monitor for 459$ when they have it in stock so be patient!)
I will update my review after testing it with my new card because reviewing it without testing 144 hz at 1440 is premature, but right now I couldn't be happier. It's nice to be bottlenecked by my system for once.
Considering your monitor is the peripheral that you spend all your time starting at, it should be as robust as the system you're pairing it with. This is my dream monitor and it feels good just looking over and seeing it on my desk even when it's turned off. I'm surprised no one has mentioned how classy and solid the stand seems or how clean the overall styling of the monitor itself is. The legs are a work of art and the stand goes up and down so smoothly.. it's impressively easy to lift up and down considering the weight of the monitor. This thing is far better engineered than the Asus, Dell or ViewSonic flatscreen monitors I've used in the past.
Contrary to what I read in the reviews prior to my purchase, I was pleasantly surprised by the out of box settings. I thought I would have to tweak it a lot after reading the other reviews. This might only apply to the 34-inch version of this monitor since it's the flagship, and might be finer tuned than the other panels during production. It also arrived just as promised with no dead pixels.. and I love that the company offers a 3-year guarantee on that. Though I doubt I'll ever have to use it.
I mentioned this above, but it's worth noting you can get this monitor for way less than the 900$ currently being demanded by some retailers. I think the high number of people stuck at home during quarantine upgrading their toys is driving prices up.. after almost buying this for 900$ I kept checking and sure enough Amazon got a couple in stock the other night for $459. They also had a few of the 32 inch non-curved displays for 259 but I went ahead and splurged. My wife gave me permission cuz it's my anniversary present... She's the best. Amazon shipped it to my door in just a couple days and I couldn't be happier.
*Edit after upgrade to 5700 xt* 5/19/2020
Holy moly I'm in love with this monitor. The colors are wonderful and I can finally push this monitor to it's full 144 hz in a lot of games. It's worth noting a lot of older games don't scale to ultrawide very easily but if you mod Skyrim it's amazing to behold in 3440 x 1440.. especially at 144 hz. If you can get this monitor without being price gouged, jump on it.
Top reviews from other countries
I compared this monitor side by side with the LG 34GP83A-B, Samsung C49RG90 and Acer XB273K, it has by far the best quality per dollar. The only area the other monitors were noticeably better in was brightness, this monitor is bright enough but just not super bright like those 3. I work in a very bright room and it's good enough, the bright frame feature helps a lot here. There is a great description of how to calibrate all the settings on Reddit by collective_dysentery, just search for "cu34g2x calibration" and you'll find it. I recommend using that as a starting point then tweaking to what works for you.
The colors were also better on the other 3 out of the box, especially the LG and Acer which are IPS, but I found that it was pretty easy to use the controls to get them close to the same level. This monitor has much better contrast than the LG of Acer which I found made a much larger difference to image quality. The Game Color feature is nice for giving colors some extra pop for games, for work I found leaving it at the default 10 to be the best however.
This monitor has by far the best anti-glare of the 4, I do not notice any significant blurriness on small text. It seems to be a tiny bit less sharp but nothing worth worrying about. The XB273K was much sharper of course as it's 4K.
I found the 1500R curve to be really helpful for making the edges of the screen useable and the curve only took a few hours to get used to. Even though the XB273K is not as wide and 16:9 it was noticeable how far away the edges are on it. At 34 inch 21:9 a flat panel would have unusable edges.
Shadow Control works really well for adjusting how dark/light the shadows are in a game, if you want that dark game ambiance with deep blacks and tons of contrast just drop the Shadow Control down one or two notches.
I have not noticed any brightness flickering from G-Sync in games, it did happen in Amazon Workspaces that I use for work but that's easily solved by turning off windowed G-Sync or temporarily turning it completely off. There is absolutely no reason to use G-Sync in work applications like Workspaces.
The build quality is very good, the best of the 4, although they were all well made.
All 4 of the monitors I tried are great units I would recommend any of them to anyone, for me the AOC CU34G2X just made the most sense even mostly ignoring the cost. If the Samsung C49RG90 was $800 or less I would have went with it because of the extra screen space of 32:9 and higher brightness but even at that price it would be close. It's not curved enough so the edges aren't usable and it's just massive.
Pros:
- Massive amount of screen real estate.
- Great for work when you need to have multiple windows/apps open side by side. I work in software QA and amount of space as certainly made a positive impact.
- Gaming is a good bit more immersive thanks due to not only the wider image but also the slight curve.
- Fast response time and 144Hz refresh rate make everything feel smoother. It's really hard to go back.
- Editing photos, the colour gamut and accuracy out of the box are decent and certainly good enough for an amateur photographer like me.
- Comes with all the cables you need for the full resolution and frame rate experience, just make sure your video card supports DisplayPort
- Supports AMD free sync and also works with G-sync for Nvidia cards (GTX1060 in my case)
Cons:
- It's weird when you're sharing your screen on a call and everyone gets confused by the size and aspect ratio, same goes for full screen screen shots :)
- Not every game supports the ultrawide format and finding the right compromise of resolution and black bars left and right can be tricky.
- The default colour depth is only 8-bit and I am pretty sure I noticed that during my first photo editing session when colour transitions looked a bit rougher than I was used to. A quick online search revealed that the panel does actually support 10-bit depth but you need to force it through the video card (Nvidia in my case) driver.
- The curve and aspect ration take some getting used to. Especially on a browser window, the curve threw me off and I kept missing information on either side since it was too much in my peripheral vision. By now, I am well used to it though.
- Viewing angles are not great for someone coming from an IPS panel but they're decent for a VA panel. And since it's only me looking at it straight on, it's alright.
- It does generate quite a bit of heat at the top and the bottom corners - might be an issue for stuffy (home) offices in the summer
In short: You get a great monitor with plenty of space and features. The support for free and G-sync and the 144Hz refresh rate are tough to beat at this price!
This is my second AOC screen.
I used to have a recurved 27 inches FHD and upgraded to this recurved 32 inches FHD.
It's absolutely amazing.
It was properly packaged with styrene corners and protectors.
There was no dead pixels when I booted it up.
The quality is solid and the size just right for RPGs, MMOs and action games.
I would buy an AOC display monitor again.
