Based on 1 year's data from Mar 28, 2026 How it works
For me uw much better experience in games and movies. I had va 34 monitor and now swap to gigabyte mo34wqc2 and don't want 16:9 anymore
I have the gigabyte 240hz OLED UW, fantastic 👍
I recommend the Gigabyte MO34WQC2. I've this monitor right now and use it for my day job as a Software Engineer, and then for gaming/watching movies in the evening. The text clarity is perfectly fine for me, the built-in KVM switch works great, it's 240hz, and the QD-OLED screen is beautiful. There's always a risk with burn-ins, but there's a 3-year warranty for that. I expect to be able to use this monitor for at least 4 - 5 years.
Just swapped VA UW (bougth in 2020) for an OLED UW (mo34wqc2). Color and motion quality is clearly in favor of the OLED (and no smearing like VA). All panels 34 should be samsung gen 1 or gen 1,5 I guess. I chose Gigabyte for 3 years warranty, Burn-in included, and good price. I/O and design are poor though.
I just got the Gigabyte MO34WQC last week and returned it immediately. I'm a software engineer and the text was horrible to look at. More than burn in concerns, the text fringing is something I thought was overblown on the internet, and that it would be fine - it wasn't. I'd say eliminate OLED from your consideration if you plan to look at text on anything around 110ppi (1440p on 34" utrawide). For the text fringing to not be noticeable and not strain your eyes, it needs to be much much higher OLED to be viable for daily text usage.
The alienware aw3425dw was released last month. It has an 240 hz refresh rate instead of 175 and goes for 799 dollar The Gigabyte MO34WOCQ2 and the MSI 341CQPX have the same panel as the alienware i mentioned. If i were you i would get the cheapest one of those three. And if you want 49 inches then the samsung g93sc(glossy) or the philips 49M2C8900(semi-gloss). These two also have the same panel and are both 1440p,240hz. Samsung also has a smart version (95 instead of 93) or oled (sd) instead of sc, but i would get non smart, qd oled.
Get an oled 240hz ultrawide for gaming and keep the current monitor for work. Set it as a dual monitor setup. MSi 341cqpx, Dell aw3425dw, gigabyte mo34wqc2 …. All use the same panel so whatever is cheapest. If you need to use a laptop, go for the MSi since it has usb c dp alt mode and power delivery.
MO34WQC2 is often down to 600€ in Europe, above budget but a 240hz 3440x1440 OLED ultrawide, you won't need a new one for a long time after
QA? If the cheaper model is the MO34WQC2, it has a 3 year burn in warranty, and I have over 2000 hours on it both work and gaming on max brightness, no sign of burn in yet. If QA is another model then I have no idea.
That's the 165hz right? You sure the MO34WQC2 isn't available? Same price and 240hz
Modern high refresh rate VA panels are actually not too bad. I had a Gigabyte 34in ultra wide curved monitor, and the colors were almost as accurate as the LG panel that I used before that. But with the affordability of OLED panels getting cheaper and cheaper in the 34-in ultrawide department, it's either go that or go home now.
