AOC - CU34G2XPD

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

I just got the PD version and realised, this one doesn't have built-in speaker. I should've noticed.

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

Hey mate just come back to say I eventually got this monitor. I was really worried about going VA considering how people talk about it being awful. I am blown away by this screen and for the price I have zero regrets. Such a massive upgrade for me. Loaded up RDR2 and it's absolutely stunning. Great for productivity as well. I do a lot of work in AutoCAD and it's been great.

yes, but not clear if VRR = no overdrive

Is the overdrive only available with VRR off?

Thanks! I’ve got a one waiting for me to collect at local delivery point. Looking forward to it. Thanks v much for the reply!!

Thanks, just following up that the panel and the resolution are better than I expected coming from 4k IPS

Finally ready to ascend from my trusty AOC CU34G2X/BK 34" to what I believe is the ultrawide sweet spot - that gorgeous 45" 5K2K OLED! The GX9's 125 PPI, insane 1300 nit brightness, and 330Hz would be a night-and-day upgrade from my current setup. Been lurking here some time and seen some great reviews for it.

i went through a similar search and didn't have much luck finding a 34" ultrawide IPS. i landed on the AOC CU34G2XP which meets all your requirements except technically gsync - it has freesync premium but from what [i've read](https://pcmonitors.info/aoc/aoc-cu34g2xp-bk-180hz-va-ultrawide/#:~:text=Adaptive%2DSync%20is%20supported%2C%20allowing,180Hz%20VRR%20range%20plus%20LFC) it's still gsync compatible. worth a look. paid 379.99 at best buy

Both the same. I bought the XPD, it's just Amazon's exclusive branding. FWIW I'm really pleased with it.

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.

for this pirice range i don't think there are better option, anyway id going for the aoc, for fast va e 180hz and i does not have the problems of the Samsung one
