About this deal

Asus ROG Swift PG34WCDM January 15, 2024 The new 34″ ultrawide OLED screen with 3440 x 1440 res and 240Hz refresh rate.

This means that the ‘strong’ mode becomes pretty unusable straight away, showing noticeable pale halos and trails at 120Hz, and even more so at lower refresh rates like 60Hz. Perhaps the smaller window sizes were limited in brightness to try and avoid haloing and blooming, although the dimming zones should be sufficiently small to handle 1% APL without too much issue. This is much easier to use to make adjustments to the settings than trying to reach around the back of the monitor and find the controller joystick. Maybe we shouldn’t have been surprised actually, as the screen is capable of supporting 700 nits in even normal SDR mode! cm (34"), Display resolution: 3440 x 1440 pixels, HD type: UltraWide Quad HD, Display technology: LED, Response time: 1 ms, Native aspect ratio: 21:9, Viewing angle, horizontal: 178°, Viewing angle, vertical: 178°.Information about the available connectivity ports, slots and interfaces such as USB, infrared port, SD card slot, audio/video and network interfaces, etc.

We would have liked to have seen the screen capable of increasing the brightness for smaller highlight areas more to be honest, although the actual HDR experience is still very pleasing, and very bright.We also provide the white point colour temperature and its deviance from 6500k, as this is particularly important when viewing lots of white background and office content. The stand is pretty deep so make sure you have a suitably deep desk, and the screen can get quite warm at the top we found, especially if you run at higher brightness levels and in HDR content where the Mini LED backlight is being utilised a lot. There’s a lot of monitors advertised as supporting HDR but very few that offer what we would consider proper, “real” HDR experience. Need to change monitor settings to enhance your experience without worrying about taking your eye off the game? Enter a new world of gaming with the AOC 34" QHD IPS FreeSync Premium 170Hz Gaming Monitor (AG344UXM).

With a super swift 1ms response time you'll be able to see everything clearly and ensure you're doing what it takes to take top spot. Its commanding overview gives you more control and boosts your efficiency both while streaming, working and playing considerably. It’s far better than the 2560 x 1080 resolution options you sometimes see in this widescreen space, giving you a large screen area to work with and a decent real estate for split screen multi-tasking. At 4K input the Xbox reports that the maximum refresh rate allowed is only 60Hz, which is strange given the supposed HDMI 2.Forget graphical frills:this mode rewires the monitor in favor of raw response time,giving the ultimate edge in hair trigger stand offs. The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. There are different types of matte and glossy coatings, each of which has its own advantages and drawbacks. but high end HDR capabilities have largely been limited and focused on the 16:9 aspect ratio models, with 27″ and 32″ models offering 4K resolutions and high-end backlights. Do you have you a question about the AOC AGON PRO AG344UXM 34 inch UltraWide Gaming Monitor, IPS Panel, UWQHD 3440 x 1440 Display, 170Hz Refresh Rate, AdaptiveSync, DisplayHDR 1000, USB-C, DisplayPort and 2x HDMI, USB3 Hub, Speakers?

There's also a picture-by-picture mode that lets you view two inputs as well, plus a Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) feature so you can swap the same monitor, keyboard and mouse between more than one PC. Mini LED backlights like that used here provide a much better control over the image on the screen, being able to dim smaller parts of the image while brightening others to improve the contrast and dynamic range. The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. Display Information about the main characteristics of the display - panel, backlight, resolution, refresh rate, etc.

At the upper end this can be important for gaming from a further distance, especially in brighter rooms and the daytime. There is no blur reduction mode on this screen though in case that’s something you are particularly looking for. Personally having used both options on many occasions, we prefer a curve on an ultrawide screen which helps improve immersion and bring the edges of the screen a little closer to your central viewing position for a more comfortable experience. Otherwise the drawbacks of the monitor aren't major ones – the on-screen menus could use a bit of a polish, and it is a big and chunky device, which you may or may not care about.
