Ever since I first used an ultrawide monitor I have been in love with the form factor. Admittedly my favorite ratio is 16:10, but the 32:9 is my close second. Big and wide, filling my peripheral view while becoming emersed in the world I'm exploring is about as close to VR as I've gotten without putting the HMD on, and is a much more enjoyable experience than traditional 3-panel gaming for racing games. But we're here about the new AOC CU34G2X, it's a 34" ultrawide monitor with a 3440x1440 resolution packing in a blazing 144Hz and 1ms response time.
Packing in the usual VA panel technology we've come to expect from these larger ultrawide monitors we are treated to a nice 1500R curve design. One of the features they're boasting about here is the frameless design but don't confuse that with bezel-free, there's still some bezel and edge to the screen itself. If I were to pick something like that to market I would have gone more for the features of the stand. Most panels in this range, especially price range, really skimp on the stand but it seems like AOC knocked it out the park here. The stand is wide and supportive but also features height, swivel, tilt, and a 100x100 VESA mounting so you can get this puppy to the right angle for you.
