AOC Gaming C27G3U - 27 inch FHD Curved Monitor, 1ms, VA, Gsync, Freesync, USB Hub, Speakers , Height adjust (1920x1080 @ 165Hz, 250 cd/m², DP 1.2 x 1, HDMI 1.4 x 2, USB 3.1)

I will start by addressing the elephant in the room: is a 32 inch screen too big for 1920x1080 (1080p)? The short answer is not really. Unless the screen is close to your face you won't see individual pixels on this display, Windows fonts are antialiased anyway and so are pretty much all games. At the distance most people sit there is no problem; the screen is crisp, sharp and bright.This monitor is aimed at gamers who can't justify an ultra expensive graphics card to push 1440p or 4K pixels, but still want a really big nice screen to enjoy their games on. Or gamers who want to enjoy 165Hz silky smoothness and response times without breaking the bank.The panel tech is VA, the one I received had zero dead pixels which is the norm these days. It is bright, clear, sharp, colors really pop (especially black) and I love it! Supporting Freesync Premium, GSync and 165Hz is very nice - there's even options to "overclock" the panel to further improve response times.The curved screen took me a couple of days to get used to, but now I would find it hard to go back to a flat one. It just wraps around your field of vision so nicely, and really has that "wow" factor everyone wants from a new screen. The main disadvantage of a curved VA screen is viewing angles are not as good as a flat IPS would be. It's certainly not bad, but these are monitors not TV's and optimal results are achieved with 1 person sitting directly in front.Adjustment: with the default stand this monitor can be tilted forward and back, but cannot be adjusted up or down. It does have standard VESA mounting screw holes on the back so you could always use a third party stand/mount if you need to.There is no USB hub or headphone stand on this model. It does have internal speakers but these are not good, they're only useful as a stopgap while you wait for decent speakers to arrive. Inputs are 2 x HDMI and 1 x DP, with the usual buttons under the bottom-right edge to control the menus and source select. Power button is in the same area, and fortunately this is the right-most button and also the biggest so not hard to find.Overall an excellent monitor for the price, I'm very happy with it. 5/5

I bought this to complement my WFH arrangements as I'm also using my current LG 29" widescreen IPS beside it so effectively have two screens side-by-side. This really works great with the AOC as it's curved and can be placed to one side and has additional flexibility as the stand provides multiple tilt/slide capabilities for the optimal view (lift up/down, tilt up/down and also swing left/right).PIP works but I didn't like it tbh and would rather use separate monitors when connecting multiple machines.Gaming wise my venerable alienware laptop is now showing its age at 5 years old and that's my next purchase in the near future as I couldn't test it out using 165hz but works fine at 100hz (though you need to make sure to download the driver from the AOC website to ensure the display driver works at that refresh rate).Screen itself is brilliant. No dead pixels and I love the huge curved screen and super wide capability when using multiple windows and remote sessions/screens, etc.The only annoyance are the menu buttons. They are fiddly for the OSD settings and infuriating as the power button is right next to them so you always end up hitting it (would have been nice to have them placed further apart or at least some kind of mini led status light possibly).The only other negative are that the Speakers are not very loud as the bass is very light though not a show stopper for me.Amazon also allowed me to purchase this using 0% finance over 5 months which was a no brainer and thank you amazon for providing this facility.

It's a decent monitor though and you will find it really difficult to find a 34" 21:9 monitor @ 3440 x 1440 144Hz for the same price.[UPDATE 29 march '24 almost two month update] After using this monitor with almost two months I can give a better view on this monitor. When I watch youtube videos I see flickering of the image which is very annoying. I've tried various settings on the monitor and graphic driver settings but nothing gets rid of this issue. I've tried using the Display port cable that came with the monitor and a good quality display port cable but the flickering won't go away.Theres a washed out look to the image which can be aleviated a lot by setting shadow control to 40 or less but that makes blacks too black and darkens the whole screen.The colours arent the best either. But you can adjust saturation of colours with game colour.You won't buy a 3440 x 440 144Hz gaming monitor at the price I bought this for but you certainly get what you pay for here. Its a pitty this monitor doesn't have an IPS screen instead. Some people complain about IS GLOW but this seems to have IPS Glow which is bad even though its a VA panel.

Perfetto e velocissimo!

Ayant déjà depuis une grosse année un MSI Optix 29" en 21/9 Fast-IPS, je ne pouvais plus me passer de ce format d'affichage vraiment supérieur en jeu mais aussi en bureautique générale. Étant aussi grand consommateur de films, j'ai voulu tenter l'expérience d'un grand écran 21/9 en utilisation de "télévision"/petit home-theater pour le salon.À titre de référence, un 34" 21/9 est en gros aussi large qu'un 16/9 de 38".Après trois mois d'utilisation ce 34" me satisfait toujours autant et flatte toujours mes yeux. Le HDR10 (donc dalle 10bit ! Pas un "faux" HDR400 et autres gimmicks marketing...) est vraiment agréable. Malgré la dalle "VA" on retrouve des angles de vision digne d'un IPS, mais on garde de très bon niveau de noir. Certains QLED font moins bien ! La QHD est parfaitement adaptée à cette taille de dalle, la 4k (5120 en 21/9) n'aurait rien apporté. Le profil de couleurs d'origine est déjà flatteur.En utilisation TV la question de la luminosité peut se poser, il se trouve que c'est parfaitement raisonnable tant qu'il n'y a pas de soleil ou de reflets du soleil directement sur l'écran (rien de choquant).Mais au moment de jouer, on apprécie vraiment les 144 Hz et surtout le temps de réponse de 1 ms. Le motion-rendering est vraiment excellent.Seul petit bémol, en connectant une console type PS4, il faut aller dans le menu de l'écran (qui est bien organisé par ailleurs) et passer l'affichage en mode 16/9 pour ne pas avoir l'image étirée (et avoir certes des bandes noires à gauche et à droite de l'image). En branchant un PC, la résolution et fréquence s'ajuste directement parfaitement en 3440x1440 144 Hz, mais pas inversement donc.Même si honnêtement, ce qui est à blâmer ici, c'est le fait qu'en 2023 une PS4, PS5 ou Xbox ne supporte aucune autre résolution que le 1920x1080/3840x2160 alors qu'il y a 20 ans une PS2 pouvait gérer du 4/3 et du 16/9 de manière transparente et sans aucun problème !

Cet écran offre un très bon rapport qualité/prix MAIS attention à sa dalle VA qui est peu adaptée au défilement rapide de contenu (surtout des texte ou personnage clair sur fond noir ou inversément).Même en utilisant les fonctions "override" sur weak ou medium, le ghosting (càd une trainée) reste bien présent et l'ensemble de l'image perd en netteté durant les défilements rapides dans les jeux ou des pages comportant des éléments sombres.Dommage car le contraste et la colorimétrique sont très bien (classique au dalle VA).J'ai renvoyé l'article pour me passer à un écran de type IPS sans aucun regret (même si le contraste est moins bon sur ce type de dalle).

Il monitor CU34G3S è il mio primo 21:9 e lo utilizzo sia per lavoro che per gioco, connesso a 2 PC diversi tramite DP e HDMI e se solo 1 computer è acceso riconosce il canale dal quale arriva il segnale e switcha di conseguenza. HA una curvatura R1000 che è la più accentuata e si fa notare soprattutto sul lavoro, ad esempio su file excel la curvatura si nota abbastanza e per attività di photoshop non credo sia il massimo. Ha le casse incorporate ma, non è sicuramente il pezzo forte, il suono non è buono ed eviterei di usarle, meglio delle casse esterne. la navigazione nel menu non è il massimo, sono presenti dei tasti sotto la parte frontale ma non sono di facile utilizzo, avrei preferito sicuramente un joystick, AOC mette a disposizione un programma, scaricabile dal loro sito, che consente di gestire le impostazioni tramite software. Il braccio di sostegno si regola in altezza ed è possibile ruotare leggermente lo schermo in alto, basso, destra e sinistra. Personalmente non ho percepito effetti di bleeding e ghosting ma considerato che riguarda una sensibilità prettamente soggettiva andrebbe verificato di persona. Per l'utilizzo che ne faccio sono sicuramente soddisfatto.
