I have this model, and I have to saay, it's amazing. You guys need to keep in mind that these reviews always compare to the best of the best when they say things like, "response times are not the best", or "it's overall an okay display". Sure, if you are used to seeing the best of the best displays you might catch some faults, but upgrading from an older display I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. Additionally I haven't noticed any smearing yet while gaming. Would recommend.

It is fine, for me especially great for gaming, although I have the 100hz version, but my videocard (rx 5700) wouldn't be able to produce more than 100 fps in the two games I play anyway.

Leave the “HDR” off, shadows to 50, brightness 80-90, and contrast 40-50. Slight flickering on loading in some game menus

I've had this monitor for several months now and I am 100% happy with it. It replaced an Acer Z35P, and the color and contrast are hands down better. The only thing the Z35P was better at was response time, but even then I'm nitpicking. The CU34G2X is worth every penny, especially considering I spent about half as much on it as the Z35P.

Ghosting only very noticeable in dark backgrounds, especially when the foreground is very bright, e.g. KZbin comments in dark mode. Very happy with the purchase though, enjoying the resolution upgrade and of course the money saved. Sold my Z35 to get the Xiaomi and had $200 left to fund a new GPU. Def a win in my book.

I had this monitor for just over a week and returned it and instead got a Monoprice Dark Matter UW #40776. I found it to have slightly better response times and less ghosting, significantly better brightness and colors and slightly nicer OSD. The exact Panel is produced by Samsung and is the same for those two monitors and the Nixeus he compares it to in the video. The Dark Matter however uses binning and Quantum Dots to produce more and better colors and brightness. At normal prices the Dark Matter will cost about $60 more and will likely cost more for shipping. I managed to get mine for the same price through some promotions and offers.

Moving from 60hz to 144hz is great and the sheer size of the panel makes game really immersive. Could it be better? Yes but I currently can't afford or justify spending £1000+ on a monitor. Think this will keep my happy for a few years to come, hopefully by then micro-LED will be on the market

I own several AOC gaming monitors - 144hz ones- the display controls are fiddly but once set up correctly these monitors offer very good performance for the money. I have a 32inch curved and a 27inch 144hz version of these, the 32inch is just awesome (unfortunately they stopped the particular model I have). Sturdy stand, great curvature and all support freesync. The gamma profiles are a bit off but once adjusted they are pretty good.

The new BOE panels (flat IPS 144Hz 3440x1440 34") in monitors like the iiyama GB3461WQSU and acer XV340CKP, which are available for ~£/$ 400 in their respective regions, pretty much made all budget VA ultrawides obsolete for gaming IMO, unless you really must have a curve. Great response times, no VA adaptive sync flickering issues, 100% sRGB and great price for the specs.

I had one about a month ago, after checking in the store, I got a stuck subpixel at home, and had to return it. Sorry but for the uncle in the office, let half the matrix does not work, but for yourself, your favorite...no no no; moreover, the monitor is usually purchased for several years, I don't want to look at that white dot for years. Otherwise,there were no complaints about the image quality, the menu is a little slow-witted, and the unusual location of the buttons. By build quality and appearance 5 out of 5. Unfortunately, now the price has increased a little, but I will probably try to buy the same model again, maybe I will be lucky.

Yeah, prices are not great right now but here's a suggestion... Try something like the Keepa extension for Chrome. It'll show you that Amazon (as in Amazon.com as the seller, not a third party) gets stock every few days and although it sells out quick, they've been pricing it at $449.99. Also, you can set price alerts in Keepa so you get notified when the price drops. Waiting for the right price and using alerts has saved me hundreds on my most recent build.

With better tuning it manages 70% transitions in the refresh windows with slightly more overshoot. Still not a huge deal

I currently own two AOC monitors, one and older ultrawide. AOC is fine when you need to get your gaming battle station off the ground or you need a cheap monitor today, but you will start to hate the flaws sooner or later. If you can afford to save longer to pay for a better one, do that because you'll want to eventually.
