Gaming ultrawide monitor at a great price: AOC CU34G2XP now available in a super deal, has 180 Hz and excellent reviews

Looking for an ultrawide monitor at a reasonable price? Alza is currently running a Black Friday discount on the AOC CU34G2XP, which you can now get for 5,999 CZK instead of the original 7,999 CZK. The monitor combines a 34″ curved screen with a high refresh rate and Wide QHD resolution, making it an interesting choice not only for gamers but also for working with multiple windows simultaneously.

Widescreen image for an immersive experience

The AOC CU34G2XP uses a VA panel with a 34-inch diagonal and a resolution of 3440 × 1440 pixels. The 21:9 aspect ratio provides one-third more horizontal space than standard monitors, which you’ll appreciate when multitasking or watching movies in widescreen format. The monitor features a 1500R curvature, which better matches the natural field of view and creates a sense of greater image depth.

The panel offers 10-bit color depth for displaying over a billion colors and covers 126.5% sRGB and 91.4% Adobe RGB spectrum. Maximum brightness reaches 430 cd/m² with a contrast ratio of 4000:1, which is typical for VA technology. The monitor also supports the HDR400 standard, even though it is a basic level of HDR.

Features focused on gaming

For gamers, the key is the 180Hz refresh rate combined with a 1ms GtG response time. The monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium, which synchronizes the refresh rate with the graphics card and eliminates screen tearing. The technology also works with NVIDIA cards thanks to G-Sync compatibility.

It also features six preset gaming modes for FPS, RTS, or racing titles. The monitor includes a Low Input Lag function for minimal input delay and Shadow Control for better visibility in dark scenes. Also included is the G-Menu software for setting parameters directly from Windows.

Practical features and connectivity

The monitor features a height-adjustable stand with a range of 130 mm and tilt capability. A 100 × 100 mm VESA mount is available for wall or arm mounting. Connectivity is provided by two HDMI 2.0 ports and two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, with cables for both connection types included in the package.

For eye protection, the monitor includes a blue light filter and Flicker-free technology, which eliminates backlight flickering. The anti-glare display surface minimizes reflections and improves readability in well-lit rooms.

What do users say in reviews?

The monitor received a 4.9 out of 5-star rating on Alza from 92 customers, with 99% of buyers recommending it. Most often, users praise the price/performance ratio and image quality after proper setup. “For that money, I didn’t expect any miracles, but I’m completely satisfied with the image,” writes one reviewer.

Among the positives, customers mention the 21:9 widescreen format, which they find ideal for working with multiple windows or gaming. “I don’t know how I could have lived with a monitor with a regular aspect ratio – now I can fit two full-sized windows side by side,” another user comments. They also praise the minimal ghosting and good response time for gaming.

The most common complaint is button control instead of a joystick. “During setup, I accidentally turned off the monitor about 20 times,” complains one reviewer. Some users also point out that the image requires calibration – it’s not ideally set up from the factory. “After the first power-on, I wanted to return it because I didn’t like the preset color management, but after calibration, everything is great,” another customer shares their experience.

Who is the monitor suitable for?

The AOC CU34G2XP at an promotional price under 6,000 CZK represents an interesting choice for several user groups. It will be especially appreciated by competitive gamers who need a high refresh rate and fast response time but don’t have the budget for more expensive IPS or OLED panels. The monitor is also suitable for working with multiple applications simultaneously thanks to its widescreen format.

For graphic designers and photographers, it can be interesting due to its 10-bit colors and good Adobe RGB coverage, although a VA panel does not achieve the precision of professional IPS monitors. Movie lovers will appreciate the 21:9 format without black bars for widescreen film formats. Thanks to its curvature and immersive display, the monitor is also suitable for simulators and racing games.
