AOC Gaming CU34G2XP - 34 Inch WQHD Curved Monitor, VA, 180Hz, 1ms GtG, HDR400, Height Adjust, Game Mode, Speakers (3440 x 1440, 400 cd/m HDMI 2.0 / DP 1.4)

Wow, blew my socks off!Managed to get this on Amazon renew for around £350. What a bargain that was!Incredible colours, incredible dark blacks, excellent quality and sharpness for the price. I upgraded from a BenQ Mobius 27” curved. While it’s a great monitor with fantastic speakers, I’d out grown it as I use my monitor for both work (MacBook) and high intensity games like CoD.I opted for the 32” IPA screen with adjustable stand. The IPA is much better for me, functions as a tv when I need it too as well. The input lag being so small on this monitor is definitely noticeable for me and is a vast improvement, no more issues with opps being able to shoot me before I even lift my gun lol.If you can pick this item up on Amazon Renew then it’s absolutely worth it, easy to set up, and just plug speakers in through the headphone jack. To clarify the model I got does not come with speakers so you do have to drop maybe £70 extra on decent ones. I went with the Anker speaker as I have their lower end model and sounds great.

Stunning picture quality. Great value and has all the bells and whistles for a great gaming experience.Massive upgrade from my standard office style monitor. Videos are crisp and vibrant with a decent HDR picture. The on screen menus and buttons are a bit lame but do the job.Works great with 100x100 vesa mount

Very happy with this monitor. HDR looks very good indeed and the screen is able to get very bright making HDR content really pop. As it’s a VA panel the blanks are inky blank too compared to the washed out blacks you’ll see on an LCD panel. Monitors far more expensive than this don’t have HDR or have a poor HDR implementation, so if you’re looking for a great value good performer that renders HDR content incredibly well, you can’t really go wrong here. Reading reviews about VA panels online, I was worried about the smearing effect but honestly, if you need a high performance camera to try and spot it, for any normal human eyes, you’re not going to notice it. I certainly have had no issues gaming on this and the high refresh rate will keep the pixel peeping idiots that need absolute perfection fairly happy I’m sure. Can’t comment on the speakers as I use separate speakers for my PC but I’d assume they’re fairly mediocre like most built in monitor speakers. I use a £30 Creative speaker setup which is more than enough for my needs. Also, the OSD when setting it up at first is a bit slow and fiddly but once it’s setup you don’t need to touch it again, so no big dramas there. Overall, an amazing monitor and for a price that can’t really be beaten given the HDR capabilities, nice resolution and inky blacks from the VA panel. As I say, for any normal human eyes I think you’ll be very pleased. Other reviewers seem to agree here as well it seems.**UPDATE** This monitor does not have any built in speakers. As metioned in my review, not a problem as I use a set of external speakers, and built in speakers would probably sound pretty poor anyway, but thought I'd update my review to highlight their absence on this monitor. Still a great screen though, and everything I mention above still stands. Recommended.

Great picture, hilariously awful sound, honestly though, I didn’t even know it had speakers and they’d be better off not bothering with speakers and dropping the price another £10+. The OSD menu on the monitor is awful (adjusting settings on monitor) you need to download “G Menu” software on the manufacturer website, which allows you to control settings via app on PC. GMenu is much easier to use, but still not brilliant and doesn’t seem to allow setting a profile by HDMI socket, which is annoying, as it means the PC needs to be turned on to switch settings when using Xbox for instance, as the OSD menu doesn’t allow me to toggle between profiles, I think it’s meant to, but it doesn’t. However, all that said, I bought it for picture quality on budget 1080p gaming and it is fantastic on all games, the picture is undeniably excellent, at a great price.

Great VA monitor. Picture looks good once you set it up. Got help from youtube to do that. Nice colours for a VA panel

Nearly gave this 4 stars instead of 5. This is a good 4K monitor at a good price. The only gripes I have with it are minor and it would be a bit cruel to dock a whole star for them. I would rate it 4.5 stars if that was an option.So my gripes are. 1. The control button markings are not easily visible, so I have to remember which one is which. This is not an issue if you just set it up and leave it, but I have to switch inputs from time to time. 2. It is slow to lock on the signal from the graphics card on wake up from a power save. This is compared to my other three monitors.On the plus side. Colour reproduction is good and brightness is great. In fact I had to lower the brightness below 50% as it was too bright compared to my other monitors. One of which is an ASUS Pro Art.

Brilliant. As good as 4K imo!!! Love this monitor.I use it with a RTX 5080 on a 14th gen pc. It’s avg fps sits at 90 on a very demanding game ( star citizen ) & runs smooth on very high settings. Wanted 4k. Me being me, bought this one by accident not paying attention. This is NOT 4K but really am happy with the quality. Keeping it regardless :)

Bought this monitor for my partner while it was on offer but even if it wasn't I would buy it again fullprice as its worth it. The picture quality is really clear and detailed. There is no video lag or frame drops, functions really well no noticeable screen tearing. It's compatible with any console. Great for gaming! Brightness and height is adjustable as well as many other features. The price is brilliant for what you get, definitely will be getting myself one for my set up and recommending to friends and family.
