exactly this, looked fabulous in the super wide - I did notice your desktop background pic seemed slightly more defined on the msi, but didn't know whether this was just the focus of the camera you were using as the AOC was a little further away. Great review, two thumbs up!
Ordered mine yesterday, these fly outta stock on Amazon every time they become available. Super excited to upgrade from my small-time 24 inch, 1080p, 60 hz Dell optiplex with this beast on a budget
thankyou this is exactly what i was looking for was looking in between the MSI ultra wide and the AOC, think ill being going with this, this should be a good pair for my rtx3070
SOLD - Added AOC to Cart. Thanks for providing a "useful" and "decisive" review for average buyers. Not sure why the typical reviews are so exhaustive and confusing trying to please the pros who already know what to buy and will never have a need to look up for reviews on youtube anyway.
Fantastic review; I was about to drop $1300 on LG Ultragear 34GN850-B but I am not a serious gamer and wanted something flexible between running movies, editing, and gaming.. When watching your seg, I was watching the AOC more than the MSI
@@Zendaal Yes, i've been very happy with the purchase. Only thing 'wrong' with mine is a tiny speck of dust between the panel in the bottom left corner but it is very tiny, i would have to be less than 20 cm away from the monitor to actually see it and the Freesync for Nvidia cards can flicker on lower framerates (about 40 fps). No dead pixels or anything like that. i would give 8/10 for this monitor, in some fast movements you can see it's not as fast as a TN panel but i can play CSGO no problem, actually better than with my old AOC TN, because it's much smaller.
Let me be the first to comment on how professional your review is. not looking to buy a new monitor ATM but I truly enjoy watching your video reviews on tech gadgets.
Mine arrives in 3 days off amazon and it indeed fly's off the shelf, every time i logged back in the in stock numbers were just sinking...... reminded me of this horrible next generation system shortages and scalping etc. Anyways cant wait and even got the 3 year amazon warranty just in case ;). Excellent video on this monitor..... in fact its probably the best video for this monitor on RUclips ! Thanks
Put in my order the other day when it came back in Amazon's stock. I've already got a flat 34" IPS that I use for design work, looking to upgrade my 24" 144hz TN gaming monitor to this and doing a stacked configuration. Hoping the brightness difference between the two won't drive me nuts!
@@keesklaver6304 Honestly, I received it and it looked great! However, I had the black-screen flickering issue in games (only in games). I tried troubleshooting a whole bunch of things for almost 5 hours (including custom resolution utility software, driver updates, bios updates, adjusting game settings, and a whole mix of monitor settings) but eventually gave up. I wound up returning it and getting an LG 34GN850 (double the price, but it's a great panel). No issues on the new LG. If I hadn't had the black screen issue in games, I would have kept the monitor because I thought it looked great! In case it helps anybody, I have a Ryzen 1700x & Radeon RX580 8gb.
@@jordanm2984 I've read that the issue you experienced is due to the GPU. I'm going to try my luck and order this monitor. I hope I get lucky and won't have that issue or really, any issue. If I do I'll either get the Dell S3220DGF or the Acer XB271HU.
@@hassu2149 I ended up going with the Dell S3220DGF. Would've gone with the Dell S2721DGF had I known it existed. Might sell the S32 and get the S27 soon.
Great review, as I comment I will improve my camera on the first part. To be honest when I entered the video I thought it wasn't as a high quality of a video and almost click out. But as soon you start reviewing the monitor, with the audio quality, the high def video quality, and great comments it just looked sooooo much better than the first few minutes. Keep it going, this is a recommendation because as I first glance of your content it didn't look that good on thee first minutes, but once those first minutes pass the content was incredible.
Hi Kristoffer, Can you tell me how your experience has been so far? Looking for a 34 inch ultrawide screen which I can use for both gaming and for work.

@@kristoffergustafsson8849 Thank you for replying so quickly! I'm having some doubts between the new Samsung Odyssey G5 34 inch and this one. This one seems to be sold out everywhere.
Great video! So the big question is...if I had to pick one for part time gaming and work. Which one should I pick? MSI, AOC, or the Odyssey G5 34” Ultrawide? Love the content, I’m about to order a new monitor and been watching your vids for reference! Thanks so much for comparing these, I’m coming from two 32” 2k monitors if that means anything! Thanks
@@incarnateTheGreat You're right! I did get a monitor but I spent a little more than the ones in this video that fit perfectly in my opinion for what I do. I'm the occasional gamer, if you even call it that. I'm currently in school for python and full development stack right now, I manage a nonprofit which entials LOTS of emails and grant writing, I have to be on camera during school, and the occasional PubG and Liftoff gaming. With all that said, I still think the monitor I have is overkill but I love it and it's been more than enough and more for what I do daily. It's my daily driver for now, I'm adding a vertical 24" strictly for coding in a few months. The monitor I have is the LG 34GP83A-B 34 Inch 21: 9 UltraGear Curved QHD (3440 x 1440) 1ms Nano IPS Gaming Monitor with 160Hz and G-SYNC Compatibility. Highly recommend it if you can afford it.
I just ordered this monitor from Amazon. It was more expensive than the reviewers said it was, but I suppose that’s due to the monitor’s popularity and scarcity and other sellers being good capitalists. Still a steal for what you get even at $520!
Have you experienced the gigabyte in the same price / specs? I'm hung up on these two monitors! Also curious about any backlight bleed on this aoc, if you can remember. Thanks
As far as I know the Xbox series x doesn’t support native 21:9 aspect ration so it’ll be a stretched image or have black bars in the outside of it to make it 16:9. Not sure it’ll be what you want.
Gigabyte is 399 on Newegg which is even cheaper than the AOC, it comes with speakers also but no extra USB ports and im seeing lots of people having problems with it
Nice video and review buddy! Do you think this monitor have better image quality than asus pg348q I'm undecided between the two if you can help... its the same price and to me just the image quality matters.
I am using an AOC 24G2U which is a 24" 144Hz IPS monitor and liking it a lot but thinking about upgrading to an ultrawide (and using the current one as a secondary monitor) but I wonder if going from IPS to VA is going to feel like a downgrade... I don't do any photo or video editing, but wish that images and the overall colors in general would still look good. Never used a VA monitor before. Is there a visible difference?
1 Up Nerdcore: wanted to ask of the Adaptive Sync, with it is one Able to Enable G-Sync? or is that only Achievable with Free-Sync? was also looking at ur other video with the MSI Non-Glare Ultra Wide 21: 9 Aspect ratio 3440 X 1440 ,144Hz Refresh Rate 1ms HDR 400 3K Resolution 34" Freesync Curved Gaming Monitor (OPTIX MPG341CQR) I am trying to Decide between AOC and MSI ? Thank you for all ur Review videos
Using this monitor with my 2020 M1 Macbook Pro 13" is quite laggy. How can I fix that lag or is it just not compatible with it? I also use a Windows laptop for work and it looks great on this monitor , nothing lags. Is there a certain setting I am missing?
im planning to get this for m1 Mac mini. which port do u use ? do u use an hub and plug it with HDMI to HDMI ? or do u use it with an adapter like Thunderbolt to display port ?
1 Up Nerdcore thanks for replying, budget is £400-£500, it’s tough trying to find a suitable monitor, and I thought getting the consoles would be the hardest part 😆
Anyone knows if i can use the USBs to connect mouse/keyboard, headset and webcam. And then connect laptop via hdmi? Looking for a good solution for home work Station with changing connected laptop.
I cant decide what to get .. Either This AOC or Samsung G7 32 or Samsung G5 34inch .. The price difference between 34inch Samsung and AOC compared to G7 32inch is like 180 € The use will be PC/PS5 gaming .. PC will need a better GPU ( considering upgrading PC when new AM5 AMD CPUs come out with a 3xxx or 6xxx series GPU when they come down with prices = Please give me the opinion or something please :D
Nice vid, but actually i don't get one simple thing: if both are sold for the same low price, so it's not a matter of money anymore, what should you go with? Thanks
I'm getting a great deal on the PG348Q and am torn between this and the CU34G2X. Since you have both, which one do you think I should get - assuming they both are the same price.
@@1UpNerdcore thank you! Asus it is then! I was very concerned about the black light bleed on the Asus and was really attracted by the 3 year 0 dead pixel coverage from AOC. That’s why this decision has been so hard for me. Is the Asus despite being 4 years old still relevant?
goodluck getting one lol. the 3080, 3070 or the AMD Radeon 6800x, 6800 or 6900 all can do far above 100 fps, so yes this would be a good match..... IF you can get one. goodluck, im trying to get anything for 3 months now
I have some settings that might help you. My monitor looks absolutely beautiful with these settings: Picture Boost Bright Frame on Frame size 100 Brightness 34-44 (set to your liking, I have 42 since I find 34 too dark) Contrast 50 Under Game settings, Game mode is off (if u enable, it will disable picture boost mode) set low blue mode to off overdrive to medium Freesync to On Game color 10-12 (11 is the sweet spot for me) Under luminance Contrast 45 Brightness 95 Eco mode standard Gamma set to gamma 3 DCR is off Color: Red 43 Green 44 Blue 45 The key is enabling picture boost, between that and the awesome deep blacks, this monitor is a steal, I had it side by side with an MSI MPG34CQR which is twice as expensive, and the AOC looked miles better, but it has a bit more ghosting. Worth the trade imo.
@@V1CT1MIZED It's not a problem for me because I don't turn it off, I leave the power LED on, but for some people it might be a problem, the monitor should have a save feature.
The specs are really good for the price however the Red is the biggest put off of not buying this monitor. I have a white pc and desk theme and the red really kills it.
Does it have high FPS plumes? Is it worth buying this monitor for $ 600 (in my country) or is it better to take the AOC CU34G2 / BK for $ 470, though it has a frequency of 100 Hz?
I haven’t had any, it’s run smooth. I personally need the 144hz. It’s a noticeable jump but that’s if the game can reach that so it’s dependent upon your gpu. If you need to save money and you don’t buy the latest gpu then id go with the 100hz one.
As a light enthusiast lol, I spend the bulk of my money on the MB, CPU, RAM, Graphics Card when i do a build. Monitors and other Periphials are meh on the importance scale at least for me.
Then you have your priorities wrong. Your PC can only look as good as what your monitor can show, the fps your pc can put out can only be shown by a monitor. The monitor is the gateway to everything. I wouldn’t buy either of the monitors in this review as they are both bad
Iam not sure if i got what you mean but the Logitech Software can do that. It changes the lighting to whatever color on the screen is the most dominant. Not sure if you can control your whole RGB Setup with these though. I've used that for the G502 Mouse for like 10 seconds, it's quite distracting.
i think i got a dud with my aoc monitor. i tried both my laptop rtx 2060 and my gaming pc rtx 3070 at 144hz it gets static transparent horizontal lines from both machines. these lines go away only when i downscale to 60hz. do you think i should file an RMA? or know of any fix to this? all my drivers on my laptop and gaming pc are updated btw. if any thing my last resort is just to return it and maybe get the msi.
My current monitor is Gigabyte M27Q I am undecided between Gigabyte M34WQ or AOC CU34G2X 34 The current monitor I am using for almost 1 year, got 1 I think dead pixel but its like a line(dirt inside) tiny, thats why I am starting to dislike the gigabyte What do you suggest?
You can stick with the gigabyte which is a solid choice or branch out and try the AOC. Either is really good. I’d probably lean more gigabyte personally but only by a small margin.
@@1UpNerdcore crap! Aoc 5 needed dead pixels, while gigabyte 3 only and they will accept for warranty, problem with M34WQ, uncertain date, I've just sold my m27Q, I need to buy one tomorrow
I’ve recently got myself a aoc cu34g2x/bk monitor for ps5 gaming. Although i did everything possible (correct hdmi cable, settings etc.) i’m only getting 60fps on r6 siege or fortnite. Can somebody help me what the problem may be?
Consoles don’t support native 21:9 aspect ratio so I’m assuming it might be causing the issue. Check if variable refresh rate (freesync) being on or off is causing it also.
Thanks for your response. I’ve turned my freesync off and even changed my image ratio but unfortunately i still can’t seem to play on 120fps. The weird thing is that it seems that the ps5 doesn’t seem to recognize that the monitor can handle 120hz. The available frequenties are 50 & 60hz
You’re gonna notice some level of ghosting. It’s 1ms mprt not gtg also which affects that. It’s not horrible but if you’re already returning VA panels for it I’d just go with an ips.
Hi! I bought it two days ago. Should been shipped here next week. BUT...one question: As i've seen on the Nvidia Page, it is not Gsynch compatibel?? I use a Asus ROG STRIX RTX2070S O8G -> Does is mean i will have Freesynch flicker? And if yes, is there a workaround? Thanks

If you want better colors go with the Asus, higher refresh rate go with the AOC. Asus build quality is better also but bulkier.
@@1UpNerdcore thank you! Asus it is then! I was very concerned about the black light bleed on the Asus and was really attracted by the 3 year 0 dead pixel coverage from AOC. That’s why this decision has been so hard for me. Is the Asus despite being 4 years old still relevant?
Hello my friend, it has been an excellent review. I want to buy this monitor and will I have problems with the RTX 3080. Thanks :).
3080 will run this just fine :)
@@1UpNerdcore this made me very happy, thank you. :)
I want to use a monitor for both pc and xbox and I'm wondering whether this can also be used for xbox?
As far as I know Xbox doesn’t support native 21:9
This one or the gigabyte g34wqc. Thanks 😁

Love the side by side, this monitor so far looks like what i want to get...Think with an rtx 3080 it would be perfect or what would you recommend
goodluck getting one lol. the 3080, 3070 or the AMD Radeon 6800x, 6800 or 6900 all can do far above 100 fps, so yes this would be a good match..... IF you can get one. goodluck, im trying to get anything for 3 months now

have any issues with stuttering ? alien FPS test ?
does a freesync only monitor downgrades the fps while using nvidia gpu cards ?
No 👍🏻
Can you tell us your AOC monitor settings please! Having a bit of trouble finding the best settings for gaming with it. Thank you
I have some settings that might help you. My monitor looks absolutely beautiful with these settings:
Picture Boost
Bright Frame on Frame size 100
Brightness 34-44 (set to your liking, I have 42 since I find 34 too dark)
Contrast 50
Under Game settings, Game mode is off (if u enable, it will disable picture boost mode)
set low blue mode to off
overdrive to medium
Freesync to On
Game color 10-12 (11 is the sweet spot for me)
Under luminance
Contrast 45
Brightness 95 Eco mode standard Gamma set to gamma 3 DCR is off
Color: Red 43
Green 44
Blue 45
The key is enabling picture boost, between that and the awesome deep blacks, this monitor is a steal, I had it side by side with an MSI MPG34CQR which is twice as expensive, and the AOC looked miles better, but it has a bit more ghosting. Worth the trade imo.
@@elfo7 awesome thanks i will try those out! Thanks man
@@elfo7 picture boost resets when the monitor turns off so it's sadly not ideal
@@V1CT1MIZED It's not a problem for me because I don't turn it off, I leave the power LED on, but for some people it might be a problem, the monitor should have a save feature.
@@elfo7 it didn't save for me on standby either. But yeah they should allow it to be saved as it is a cool feature
where'd you get that mega man frame in the background?!

The specs are really good for the price however the Red is the biggest put off of not buying this monitor. I have a white pc and desk theme and the red really kills it.
Spray paint it white
1 Up Nerdcore was thinking that but the warranty would go
@@OzzySafa Cut plain white sticker paper and put it on. Just find one with a weak adhesive.
Adam this is actually making me consider it now haha thanks might just do this !
Does it have high FPS plumes? Is it worth buying this monitor for $ 600 (in my country) or is it better to take the AOC CU34G2 / BK for $ 470, though it has a frequency of 100 Hz?
I haven’t had any, it’s run smooth. I personally need the 144hz. It’s a noticeable jump but that’s if the game can reach that so it’s dependent upon your gpu. If you need to save money and you don’t buy the latest gpu then id go with the 100hz one.
I'm getting ready to purchase this at Office Depot on sale for $199
Wait it’s only 200 at Office Depot?
I just checked they are not the same the one at Office Depot has worse specs
As a light enthusiast lol, I spend the bulk of my money on the MB, CPU, RAM, Graphics Card when i do a build. Monitors and other Periphials are meh on the importance scale at least for me.
Then you have your priorities wrong. Your PC can only look as good as what your monitor can show, the fps your pc can put out can only be shown by a monitor. The monitor is the gateway to everything. I wouldn’t buy either of the monitors in this review as they are both bad
if you play a lot of fps. What would be better the gigabyte g34w or this one?
I haven’t used the Gigabyte yet but I’d go with this, the MSI or TUF
@@1UpNerdcore Thanks.
Do you experiences black smearing in games and what are you calibration settings?
I brought this monitor but 120fps does not work for me on ps5
Don’t use ultrawides with consoles it just stretches out the image. I’d have to be there in person to see what it won’t allow 120hz
How good are the colors? Are they on par with Samsung G7?
Not quite as good but pretty close
1 Up Nerdcore Thank you!
What are the names of those lights on the desk that change color based on the color of the monitor? Thanks
Iam not sure if i got what you mean but the Logitech Software can do that. It changes the lighting to whatever color on the screen is the most dominant. Not sure if you can control your whole RGB Setup with these though. I've used that for the G502 Mouse for like 10 seconds, it's quite distracting.
MSI or AOC ? which one do you think for ps5?
I don’t think ps5 suppprts 21:9 so the image would look stretched so I’d say neither unless it’s a 16:9.
I ordered one
It's probably a stupid question, but would you buy this screen with a gtx 1650?
It would run okay and you’d hit the 144hz with just the desktop but switching to games will be rough with AAA games for sure.
@@1UpNerdcore Ok, thanks a lot!
Anybody know how to get the 75hz mine says 60hz in settings
i think i got a dud with my aoc monitor. i tried both my laptop rtx 2060 and my gaming pc rtx 3070 at 144hz it gets static transparent horizontal lines from both machines. these lines go away only when i downscale to 60hz. do you think i should file an RMA? or know of any fix to this? all my drivers on my laptop and gaming pc are updated btw. if any thing my last resort is just to return it and maybe get the msi.
It’s has a warranty and it sounded messed up so I’d get it replaced
@@1UpNerdcore will, do thanks for the quick reply!
Is it compatible with nvidia graphics?
I’m assuming your asking if you can enable gsync compatibility and yes you can 👍🏻
By me dont Play 120 hz for ps5 please help
do the HDMI ports go up to 144hz also?
From what I’ve seen yes 👍🏻
Using hdmi 2.0?
How well does Freesync work with graphics cards Nvidia and G-Sync on this monitor?
Works great
@@1UpNerdcore Will it also work with rtx 3000 series graphics cards?
Yup
what about for RTX2000 series?
so what is the usb hub actually for? never had a monitor that had that so was just wondering.
It allows you to connect more things to your pc, peripherals etc.
6:44 what game is that
That’s doom eternal
@@1UpNerdcore thanks man
My current monitor is Gigabyte M27Q
I am undecided between Gigabyte M34WQ or AOC CU34G2X 34
The current monitor I am using for almost 1 year, got 1 I think dead pixel but its like a line(dirt inside) tiny, thats why I am starting to dislike the gigabyte
What do you suggest?
You can stick with the gigabyte which is a solid choice or branch out and try the AOC. Either is really good. I’d probably lean more gigabyte personally but only by a small margin.
@@1UpNerdcore crap! Aoc 5 needed dead pixels, while gigabyte 3 only and they will accept for warranty, problem with M34WQ, uncertain date, I've just sold my m27Q, I need to buy one tomorrow
Is this monitor good choice for Playstation 5?
No, as far as I know it doesn’t support the 21:9 aspect ratio and it for sure doesn’t support 1440p. Sony announced that a couple weeks ago.
I’ve recently got myself a aoc cu34g2x/bk monitor for ps5 gaming. Although i did everything possible (correct hdmi cable, settings etc.) i’m only getting 60fps on r6 siege or fortnite. Can somebody help me what the problem may be?
Consoles don’t support native 21:9 aspect ratio so I’m assuming it might be causing the issue. Check if variable refresh rate (freesync) being on or off is causing it also.
Thanks for your response. I’ve turned my freesync off and even changed my image ratio but unfortunately i still can’t seem to play on 120fps. The weird thing is that it seems that the ps5 doesn’t seem to recognize that the monitor can handle 120hz. The available frequenties are 50 & 60hz
But does it have ghosting or blurring compared to a ips as I've returned 2 very expensive va monitors for it
You’re gonna notice some level of ghosting. It’s 1ms mprt not gtg also which affects that. It’s not horrible but if you’re already returning VA panels for it I’d just go with an ips.
Hi! I bought it two days ago. Should been shipped here next week. BUT...one question: As i've seen on the Nvidia Page, it is not Gsynch compatibel?? I use a Asus ROG STRIX RTX2070S O8G -> Does is mean i will have Freesynch flicker? And if yes, is there a workaround?
Thanks
any update?
@@rocker1003 Still works fine! Bit tricky to set it up (the buttons are rubbish) but overall really more than worth the price!
Hey I’m having problems I ordered mine and it’s stuck to 100hz
Are you using Displayport Cable or HDMI?
