AOC CU34G2X monitor review 4

Posted by: Krzysztof Hukalowicz on: 02/11/2021 02:50 PM [ 24 comment(s) ]

Ultrawide monitors are becoming more popular these days. In the PC world, 21:9 aspect ratio indicates the resolutions of 2560×1080 (WFHD and 3440×1440 (WQHD), and the latter is what we are going to be talking about because today we’re looking at the AOC CU34G2X monitor, introduced in August 2020. This isn’t the most recent display product around, but it deserves taking a look at.

Never mind him, the guy goes full retard when anyone doesnt share his enthusiasm for ultra-short (1080p) ultra-wides. :rolleyes:

Buyer's remorse is still a thing, huh.

I've been out of the monitor market for a few years, and as an early adopter of G-SYNC, I'm a little confused by this: "G Sync technology did work" - so is this monitor a G-SYNC monitor or not? Has this tech evolved where G-SYNC monitors no longer require the dedicated chip on the monitor side?

If your monitor support freesynch threw a display port you can enable it nvidia still call it gsync . There are also monitors with out modules that are certified by nvidia about their good compatibility . If not certified the driver will warn you that the monitor is not supported there might be issues from what i saw around the net in the majority of the time it works fine . So try at your own risk if you have a freesynch monitor with dp and an nvidia card just try it no reason not to.

Ah, Chris wrote this one, so he can answer that.


Thank you for the review!
A tip, in DisplayCAL create a "Curves + Matrix" profile instead of "XYZ LUT + Matrix"
You can also provide the profile for people without calibration devices.

Most of the times I get better profiles by using the monitor Custom Mode and
setting the luminosity to 120 cd/m2, gamma 2.2 and adjusting the RGB channels to 6500K
with the lower deviations as possible.

"XYZ LUT + Matrix" or "Curves + Matrix" profiles?
https://ninedegreesbelow.com/galleries/making-evaluating-monitor-profiles.html#what-kind-of-monitor-profile

For a gamer, I have no doubt "Curves + Matrix" profiles are much better!
If you are photographer/retoucher(probably using a wide gamut monitor) and
need color accuracy for better matching prints, XYZ LUT will give more precision.

"XYZ LUT + Matrix" profiles gives better calibration results, but visually they
can be more rough or less pleasant to the eye...
They are also less compatible with some programs.

Would be good if test the monitor for PWM, maybe a simple test like this

Or something like this


Why PWM is BAD! (at least low frequency PWM is)
