AOC - CU34G2XE

I got the aoc cu34g2xe and the response times are terrible to be honest, tried all settings weak overdrive is the only setting without inverse ghosting and any lower than weak the screen just smears into a mess when moving, the colours are good and HDR can be set up nice and most importantly the UW is very nice but daym compared to my Odyssey 240hz g7 its really bad at dark scenes and even some bright scenes with smearing and response times but the samsung monitors have some bad quality control "my screen is coming away from the monitor" and software can be bad. still gonna keep using this for now but after a few days im considering using it as a 2nd monitor instead

Ultrawide *is* affordable if you are happy with a VA panel. Mines been great. As a stay at home dad, I don't have the budget for an OLED UW so this was a good compromise. Yeah ok, small tiny niggles but the immersion is just worth it. https://preview.redd.it/qdsyescqad2f1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4851eba27809ec13dd6bbb607be090800aa1403b

It's the AOC CU34G2XE with some LED bars behind.

It's a nice enough panel. I've not really had anything negative to say about it. It does everything I need without crippling my wallet.

Yeah it's been used constantly. If I was going to be picky, the backlight doesn't create a uniform tiny over the entire screen when the screen is fully black. It's nothing diabolical but I've spotted it a few times. Doesn't bother me since in other aspects, it's been fine. Freesync works as it should, the menus are pretty much standard although the software makes life easier not that you need it. Would I get another? You bet!

I have the OG 144hz version CU34G2X and not the P. Had it for years as my main, still is my main. im fine with it. havent noticed black smearing on any va panel ive ever had. def worth every dollar i paid imo, but i also got decently discounted price when P model came out and local store was clearing out the OG version i do have a 28in 4k 60hz stacked over it too though for some 4k gaming here and there or dual use. #

if you live near a microcenter, i would wait and see if they have any refurbished ultrawides. the one by me in fairfax had like 9 refurbished AOC CU34G2s in stock and i got one for 150 bucks when they still msrp for over twice that amount new. you'll have a month to see if you notice the smearing and can return it, and its not a big investment otherwise, great option to just try one out imo. i thought id notice it more but haven't noticed it at all. have been more than happy with it

AOC G2 is an outdated model. I have it, and it's fine. I'd go for the AOC G4.

Own similar AOC g34g2. My best buy in few years. After few months cach myself mind "i want 32x9 beast" 🤣

I have an AOC CU34 for work. Relatively inexpensive, ultrawide, and comes with a KVM to make laptop docking easier. It's my go-to recommendation for WFH

34". All the way. We have had AOC x 2 with zero issues, great monitor. My lad is currently on an LG 34" which seems to be fine, little bit of bleed. My daughter is also on a 34" Viewsonic, i'm on a 49" uw. My two main gaming buds are also 34". Both with 3060s. For gaming, gotta be 34" curved, it's a beautiful thing. Imo, i would stay away from nzxt myself.

Having the same usage as you, i have a AOC 34" Ultra wide, and i'm thinking to go for a 32" 4K specially because of the height resolution.
