AOC CU34G3S 34" Frameless Curved Ultrawide Gaming Monitor, WQHD 3440 x1440, 165Hz 1ms, FreeSync Premium, Height Adjustable, 3-Year Zero-Bright-dot, Black

So this review is specifically for the Mini LED monitor AOC Q27G3XMN, some of the other monitors here are mid/bad. Anyway amazing panel with good-decent build quality, the mini led and backlight are pretty amazing when you see it for the first time in games that support HDR it is a true HDR experience the only thing that does it better is OLED. Its hard to explain but the colors are better and the screen gets brighter in certain areas so if theres a fire or lights in a game or even the sun that area of the screen will be brighter its very immersive it also offers deeper blacks compared to ips panel.Now we get to the cons… the stand is very mid it is better than some cheaper monitor stands but I wouldn’t say im completely satisfied with it, it has huge legs I dont know why all these companies do the V shape design it looks awful and incomplete it could feel a bit more stable while youre touching the monitor it shakes ever so slightly but for this price they focused on the panel technology over the stand which is fine also the back of the monitor could be built more solid these are nitpicks id take a half star off. For PS5 this monitor is amazing games play smooth no ghosting whatsoever, now for pc is where you run into some problems, windows 10 this monitor the hdr does not work at all in windows 11 it works but its a pain and if you have a mid tier computer and only run alot of games at 50-80 fps there will be some ghosting during fps drops on ps5 i saw zero ghosting that my eye can catch and on pc it should be fine if you have higher fps

I took way too much time before buying this. Yes, it's totally worth it.1. The colours are outstanding. Please don't let people throw you off by remarking on a pinkish hue. For me, I've not noticed it. Colors look vibrant, darks are indeed dark and all that jazz. How this translates for you most likely:+you want to play games way too long,+watch movies for way too long,+sink hours upon hours needlessly web surfing.Why? Just cuz. The screen looks that freaking amazing! And you can't believe it costs under $300.Then there's the stand. It's proven more useful than I would have predicted. Sometimes I like to feel super official and read my kindle books on a bigger size screen - especially for DK books or you know, those cool "coffee-table" kind of books I think they are called. Anyway, this monitor is AMAZING for that. I thought adjusting the screen to different orientations would prove more challenging and keep me from wanting to do it often, but not at all. Luckily it doesn't take massive strength or strain or anything to move the monitor around, and sometimes that allows for experimentation using your monitor in ways that you may not even realized you'd appreciate. Again, for me, that's proven true in regards to reading kindle books on this monitor. I think I'd now ALWAYS prioritize having a useful, functional stand. I know that monitor arms are a thing, but for some of us, we just want to buy the monitor and be able to use it for as long as possible without having to buy anything else ;) With this, you have one of the very best monitor stands I could imagine.I also want to mention the warranty - a 3 YEAR WARRANTY that goes so far as to cover ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE in the first year. Now that is value unparalleled, and provided that they folow through on those promises to the customer, it's really hard for me to recommend anything else. To anyone who is shopping on a budget but wants something that doesn't feel budget WHATSOEVER, I'd say go this route.When I was monitor shopping, I tried an array of different monitors. Initially I was going for a 42 inch monitor, trying to go for the "best of the best". The Gigabyte Aorus 43vu, for instance, is a great monitor as is the LG C3 in that size category. I tried 34" and 32" inch monitors. Interestingly, even if price wasn't a consideration, I'd still argue that this 27 inch screen provides the better QUALITY and VALUE, which is kind of crazy to be getting both things at once, you know? I kept thinking that a 27 inch screen wouldn't be as "fun" as a bigger screen, but as it turns out, for gaming from a desk, I will now ALWAYS choose 27 inches over 32 inches and anything bigger. Basically, I was wrong thinking bigger translates to a more enjoyable experiencd. ! I know these are specific details, but there may be someone else out there going, hey! I love this monitor, but it's ONLY 27 inches! I can't tell you for sure that it is enough, but for me, the 27 vs 32 inch monitor debate ends with the 27 being the clear choice. Compared to the 43 and 42 inch sized monitors, I definitely prefer gaming on this 27 inch monitor too, I occasionally game on the bigger television I own. I so prefer gaming on the 27.Look, I don't want to encourage anyone to buy this who is gonna hate it. I'm sorry if this love letter to this monitor leads you astray and your experiences end up different than mine. But for real, if you want to skip skimming all the reddit forums and the few reviews you can find on this monitor, just take this recommendation. I came in to this skeptical and am seriously blown away.Let me address a couple of things I was worried about:+it being too big, too thick. It isn't. For me, it's perfect. It doesn't remind me of the 1990 CRTV days, and the depth it does have...it just feels right for the picture it creates, as strange as that is to say that way. I have a desk depth of 30 inches. I'll try to upload photos later in case that will help someone determine if it seems too big.2. pinkish hue: totally don't see it. Nothing distracts, nothing makes me go oh, this monitor has a bad picture. It's good. For the money, it's great! You could tell me this should cost someone $600, and I'd believe it. It performs far above its asking price.Think about that. How often do you buy something that feels really like it should cost twice the price even?Not often enough! Do yourself a favor! Go for it.(To everyone who wants to make a size matters joke, ditto. Enjoy your day and this review!)

I am so lucky. I bought this monitor, and due to weather or other unforeseen reasons it kept getting delayed. Anyway, Amazon apologized and told me that i could have my refund. Amazon also told me that if for some reason the monitor just shows up, I could keep it for free.Yea, It just showed up after I was refunded, so now I have this AOC monitor for free.Wanted to let others know that this monitor came with a paper that shows how they set it up before it was shipped, along with the results of that setup. That is very quality minded and is just good business.The setup is dead on perfect as can be. The only thing I have done is lower the brightness a little, cause man this thing can be bright. I also increased the contrast a little for my main game, world of warcraft.Let me tell you, this monitor is amazing for a VA panel, It is smooth, responsive, the colors are fantasticand it handles motion very well with little to no ghosting or any other display issues.The buttons for the OSD section of this monitor takes a few minutes to get used too, but after you got it, you got it. Its fast, the responsiveness is really really good.I'm not impressed easily but this AOC monitor impresses me, and Amazon impressed me also with their offer and policy.I know every monitor is or can be different, but notwithstanding this monitor punches way above it's price at 249.00.You can't go wrong getting this monitor, especially for gaming, it's impressive.

Let’s get this out of the way: for a 24-inch 1080p panel, this thing punches way above its price class. I dropped one into my secondary rig for a while and ended up wanting a second—just like you did. 😎 The 180Hz refresh rate is buttery smooth, and that 1ms response time? It’s perfect for FPS, MOBAs, or even fast-paced indie games like Vampire Survivors and Hades.You’re getting VA panel contrast (so blacks are nice and deep), plus decent color vibrancy for a budget-friendly display. Sure, it’s not 4K or HDR10 certified, but for high-FPS, no-lag, all-day gaming? This thing slaps.
