AOC Reveals Two New UltraWide Monitors, CU34G2 and CU34G2X: 34" 21:9 VA, 3440 x 1440, up to 144 Hz, 1 ms, 1500R, FreeSync
AOC has revealed two new additions to their monitor lineup, which seemingly tick most - if not all - of the right boxes. The only thing that differs in both the CU34G2 and CU34G2X is their maximum refresh rates: the CU34G2 can go up to 100 Hz, while the CU34G2X can refresh at up to 144 Hz. The rest of the specs are virtually the same: a 34" VA panel with 3440 x 1440 resolution, 21:9 aspect ratio, 1 ms response times, 300 nits maximum brightness, 1500R curvature, and support for FreeSync.
In terms of color space, the CU34G2 wins out, covering 124% of the sRGB space and 92% of AdobeRGB, while the CU34G2X tightens the color space a smidge with 119% sRGB and 88% of AdobeRGB. I/O wise, both feature 1x DisplayPort 1.2 and 2x HDMI (only the CU34G2 uses HDMI 2.0, though). Both monitors also offer a quad USB 3.0 Hub and 1x Headphone out. The monitors will launch come January 2020 at attractive price points: $450 for the 100 Hz CU34G2 and $550 for the 144 Hz CU34G2X,

Nice monitor! I can't wait to upgrade to a 34" 3440x1440 120+Hz. mine would be fine if it had higher res
Loosely used term this 4K is.... it really means 4x the resolution of 1080p, right? so 3440x1440 being 4K is just someone in marketing not understanding the technology but wants all the buzz words to sell a product.
:fear:
Bored = read this - www.displayninja.com/ultrawide-vs-4k/
Don't think that's going to be affordable for a while...:wtf:
100hz is already great improvement compared to 60hz and already a little hard to achieve with a good GPU due to the beefy resolution. but well, it really worth every penny. love it.
I am kinda interested in an ultra wide with similar specs and 144hz refresh.
www.displaywars.com/27-inch-16x9-vs-34-inch-21x9You're running triple monitor setup...
Started playing Black Ops 4. K/D about 0.5:1
Went from a 1920x1200@60Hz IPS to a 144Hz 1080p TN panel. WOW. It was like getting a video card upgrade. KD about a 1:1.
Added the Ryzen 5 2600, helped a ton getting rid of the micro-stutters and hiccups. KD 2:1
Added the LG 34GK950F (34", 21:9, 3440x1440, IPS w/ LFC, 144Hz, HDR) KD 4:1.
I went from going into dark rooms and getting shot by some guy I couldn't see in the corner, to seeing them everytime. HDR was like flicking a light switch on.
Added the RX5700XT. Couldn't play anymore. The stuttering and frame drops were game ending. By the time they fixed it, the Modern Warfare launched and the game is dead.
