The AOC CU34G3S delivers an ultrawide gaming experience at 165Hz for a softer price than the category average. The curvature and wide format provide great immersion. It lacks USB-C and built-in audio, however.
Frequently asked questions
What resolution does the AOC CU34G3S run at?
The panel shows 3440x1440 pixels across 34 inches, around 110 pixels per inch. That is an ultrawide format, the equivalent of two windows side by side with no bezel in the middle. The VA panel pushes contrast, with viewing angles less consistent than an IPS panel.
Is the AOC CU34G3S a good monitor for gaming?
Yes. The panel runs at 165 Hz, well above the 60 Hz of an office screen, and motion gains a lot of smoothness. At 3440x1440 you still need a graphics card able to keep up with that pace. The 34 inches at 3440x1440 also weigh on the frame rate the graphics card can hold.
What features does the AOC CU34G3S include?
No, there is no USB-C port on this model, so the connection goes through the usual video inputs. Beyond that it offers HDR, a height adjustable stand and a curved panel, but goes without built in speakers. The adjustable stand saves you from adding a riser to line the panel up with your eyes.
Is the AOC CU34G3S worth 142 euros?
At 142 euros it scores 4.3/5 across 2,600 Amazon reviews. The score sits in the healthy middle of the comparison. It sits in the Ultrawide category of our selection. Main strength: 165Hz for an ultrawide. Main compromise: no USB-C. Also in its favour: immersive 34-inch curved display.
