Although not specified, you can also set the color depth to 10-bit (via dithering) for the AOC CU34G2X monitor in your GPU’s driver settings for smoother gradients. Happily, the AOC CU34G2X's performance is also much better than any of our earlier quibbles above would suggest. The curve doesn't feel too overwhelming when leaning in close over your keyboard, and it's one of the most immersive experiences you can have when you slap on a gaming headset as well. Before we started, the monitor did require a little tweaking to make it the best it can be. For example, overdrive is not set out of the box – meaning it won’t have the advertised 1ms response time. Furthermore, you’ll have to enter your GPU settings to make sure the refresh rate is set to its maximum. With specifications out the way, let’s take a more comprehensive look at the build quality, design, and mechanical features the AOC CU34G2 comes equipped with. Design The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively.

What’s more, you will find customizable crosshair overlays, a frame counter and pre-calibrated picture modes (FPS, RTS, Racing, and three fully customizable profiles). Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. The rear of the monitor is entirely plastic and doesn’t feel premium in the slightest. It has quite a bit of flex to it and doesn’t feel like it’d offer too much protection if dropped or hit. With that in mind, there are some positives. The front of the monitor feels excellent and there are no gaps in between the frame of the monitor itself.The AOC CU34G2 is a FreeSync gaming monitor, but you might have to wait for a few driver upgrades if you want to use G-Sync compatibility mode. It can be force-activated via Nvidia’s control settings, but there is no guarantee that you will not run into any issues. Input lag sits at 6ms at 100Hz, so there should be no noticeable delays while gaming. Thoughts on the AOC CU34G2

The stand provides tilt, height, and swivel functionality – allowing you to position the monitor to your exact requirements. That said, it does feel a little flimsy at the best of times. There is a little bit of wobble in it as well – potentially noticeable if you’re using a desk that also moves. The following section will be a more comprehensive look at the color accuracy and picture quality of the AOC CU34G2. We will be testing a number of different color presets to determine which is best for out the box usage. Furthermore, we will be calibrating the monitor to see how accurate the colors are, recording the color gamut and panel uniformity as well. As part of the calibration process, the DisplayCal will give an accurate measurement of the color gamut the monitor can provide. Below are the results of the color gamut test: Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market.

The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display. The operating humidity shows the acceptable level of humidity, in which the display will function flawlessly. It sets a lower and an upper humidity level for safe operation and is measured in percentage. Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS).
