You might have problems with just regular scrolling on this monitor
I bought this monitor as a main monitor. For gaming it's nice monitor, but when I do something from scrolling on youtube to scrolling on reddit, the text just dims out and it flickers. It was so bad that it made it very very annoying to even go to those sites. It happened on both white text on black background and black text on white backgrounds. Sometimes the ghosting/smearing gets so bad that it changes to a different color making reds appear yellow sometimes and dark purples look pink. I would recommend not getting this monitor because although it is nice in games, the ghosting/smearing you get when you scroll will make your head hurt.

Good monitor and stand, accessories dead on arrival
So far I'm liking this monitor a good deal. It's what I'd expect. There is definitely better but absolutely nothing wrong with this one for the price point. You definitely want to have g-sync/adaptive sync off though. If you're getting this for that, then look elsewhere. But honestly both those features are pretty irrelevant IMO. I've tested numerous gaming monitors from cheap to rich pig expensive and not one time was I ever like "oh wow! That g-sync really made my experience better!" In this monitor's case, I find that it reduces performance while not improving picture quality much. Other than that it's great.... no dead pixels, only slight ghosting on black screens, pixel response time is fast enough (again, as long as g-sync/adaptive sync are both turned off). Brightness is more than satisfactory for any room that isn't quite literally a room surrounded by glass windows. (outdoor use in the sun would be a bit rough, but who does that?)
I have two primary complaints :
1) The curvature pretty much does nothing, as it is too slight for a monitor 27" or larger (i got the 27" here). Might be ok for a 24" or smaller.
2) Every single cable it came with was DEAD ON ARRIVAL. Even the power cord! This is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Luckily I had higher quality versions already available to me.
I'd recommend this to any gamer who isn't a top tier e-sports player and wants to spend a reasonable (as opposed to excessive) amount of money on a good monitor. I WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone who thinks g-sync and adaptive sync are essential to their gaming. Obviously considering my cable issues, I'd also recommend you purchase your own ahead of time.

Monitor worked fine for a few months, now it's a paperweight.
I got this monitor back in January 2020, and it worked fine for my needs. It wasn't the best picture, but for the price it was pretty nice. Then today I come home from work and turn on my PC. My old Dell monitor from 2004 came on like a champ. This piece of junk came on, as in the backlight came on and it showed it was powered on, but no menu functions work, no input source works, I couldn't even get the crosshair to show. Basically it doesn't show a picture or any onscreen menus. It still detects signals on the cables, and can tell when the computer puts the monitor to sleep or wakes it up, but it won't show anything.
Update: My monitor is currently being RMA'd. I will update my review to take this into account once I get a working monitor into my hands.
I will speak about my warranty experience so far. It's really not bad at all. Unfortunately the original box got thrown away by a family member without me knowing, so it made me get creative on how to send it back. I have had to have a laptop repaired from dell several years ago, and they sent a box to me for shipping. I wish AOC did that, but I also understand. Big difference between 2,000 laptop and this very nicely priced monitor.
*** Update November 2020 ***
The same problem has came back again. Suddenly the monitor comes on, with backlight clearly on, but nothing displays on it. No on screen menu, no text for when you switch sources. It doesn't matter what input I use, hdmi or display port.
I simply cannot recommend this monitor. Stay away. Buy at your own risk.

AOC CU34G2X - a fantastic display
A great purchase even at its MSRP of 450.00. I'll run through the pros and cons.
Pros
-Adjustability – height, swivel, and tilt - the swivel was the only one that was too resistant, I couldn't swivel it without moving the feet of the base, even though it is capable of rotating a few degrees, but not a big deal for me.
-Curvature – 1500R is a bit more aggressive than the usual 1800R (meaning, 1800mm or 1.8m radius) – for me this works great since the display is so wide on the sides that the more aggressive curvature works better to face the user at a more desirable angle.
-Picture quality – to my everyman’s eye the pictures are fine if oversaturated a little bit. If anyone has the best OSD picture settings suggestions for this display, I’d love your input.
-Adaptive Sync – with my RTX 2070 the G-Sync works flawlessly without any flickering or additional adjustments. The adaptive sync option was enabled out of the box for me.
-144hz Refresh Rate – this is where the display shines for me, coupled with the adaptive sync feature. No more super annoying and horrible looking screen tears while gaming.
-Viewing Angle – the side to side viewing angle is excellent, and with the curved surface area it’s even better, there’s no discernible off-axis desaturation for me.
Cons
-Design – personal preference completely, but I would have liked the design to be more “productivity” based, or more business-like. But the design is not horribly “gamer-y” either.
-OSD – the controls are located toward the bottom right of the frame with five discrete buttons. They are poorly spaced so it’s difficult to distinguish by feel and are very clunky to operate.
-Documentation – I wish the manual contained more information about what each specific setting does. There’s hardly any documentation included, other than the basic setup, which is practically useless.
This is a fantastic display with all its wonderful features, especially at its price point. Just look at the list of pros vs cons. The pros are all the reasons you would choose to get a monitor of this kind.
Now that I’ve experienced 21:9 I cannot go back to 16:9 configuration (as a very, very casual gamer). The ultra-wide orientation is also great for video editing. The only thing I would wish for is now for the monitor to get larger in size at a similar price point. Highly recommended.

Great gaming monitor
Bought this monitor specifically for pc gaming and for that it is excellent. Colors or vivid, blacks are deep. Comes with a fully adjustable vesa mount. Has the pop in design, no screws needed, total tool free assembly. Came very well packaged and no damage. Comes with an HDMI and Display port cord. There is no detailed manual included, but you can download a fully detailed one. The onboard menu is like a lot of other monitors, kinda clunky to use to adjust the settings, but it works. Does not come with onboard speakers if you care, I didn't.
Good
-Big screen great picture quality even though a VA panel, dont notice much if any pixilation and no ghosting
-attractive design, very thin bezel
-easy assembly
-lots of choices in onboard settings to adjust to your liking
-works great with xbox and playstation also
-1ms response time, no noticeable lag even in very fast fps games
-not a single dead pixel on arrival
-Price, excellent value for the money
Only complaint I have and they are small one
-wish the stand was 2 inches taller
Highly recommend this monitor for gaming and general use

Very nice display at reasonable price
This a very nice display all around. I bought the 24" 1920x1080 IPS model. My previous monitor was a 22" 1680x1050 TN panel that I bought in 2008. By comparison, this monitor is brighter, sharper, and has better viewing angles, contrast, and color fidelity. It really is an improvement in every category. Color calibration out of the box was perfect, and the resolution is correctly detected in Windows 10 with AMD Adrenaline drivers.
My only complaints so far are:
- Cannot tilt the display down below vertical; you can only tilt it to an upward angle. Fortunately the height adjustment can be set very low to make up for this.
- Even though the pixel pitch is finer than my old TN display, the black space between pixels is actually larger, so I was getting a bit of localized screen-door effect on moving objects in games (especially on braziers and foliage in Skyrim). I resolved the issue by moving the display a little further back on my desk to increase the viewing distance. I have better than 20/20 vision and tend to be sensitive to visual artifacts (ghosting, tearing, screen door, DLP rainbow, you name it), so take my observations with a grain of salt.

Almost had a heart attack!
Luckily the USPS delivery guy made sure I got the package, upon arrival I was excited to try my new ultrawide monitor which was supposed to be delivered in March. But luckily I got it early, just in time for the new Cold War Season 2. Legit the box came in damaged, thank god it was nicely packed with foam to protect the curved screen, honestly, I would hate to return it but it did survive along the way.
Pros: Large screen at 2k 144hz, perfect for gaming and multitasking.
Cons: I hate the monitor stand, it's so big that it annoys me, but not as much as the red trim.
Overall great monitor :)

Loving it
This is my first step into the high refresh rate monitors and it does not disappoint. The picture quality looks very good. Nothing ever looks faded or washed out and the monitor. I am currently using it with the stand that comes with it and it is very nice and sturdy. I love how you can adjust it up and down as well as tilt it left and right. I am planning on switching to a dual monitor stand, but for now, this stand is great. It also looks very nice as well. Nothing looks flimsy or looked at as an afterthought. Literally, the only problem with it is it is always out of stock and the only way to buy it is through third party sellers who jack up the price almost 3x sometimes. Don't fret, it does restock a lot. You just have to be keeping an eagle eye out for the restock and jump on it because they sell out fast.
Overall, if you are looking for a 24 inch, 1080p, 144Hz, ips monitor, look no further because you have found your saving grace.

Good IPS monitor, but...
Never had a IPS monitor before and it’s pretty good!
The only thing I am upset about is that this one doesn’t come with the USB hub on it. The U variant that is sold in the European regions does have the usb hub on it. In the pictures for the monitor in the US amazon store the do have the version with the usb hub on it.
So if you were expecting this version to have it like me it will not have it.

Great buy for Mrsp of $260 not $400+
great buy for the mrsp of 260$ would definitely recommend for a great all around monitor, would not how ever recommend paying the other companies 400 + $ at that price point there are a ton of other great monitors that will give you more value for your money. But if you see it for around $260-300 its definitely worth that much. Really love the deep blacks, and how good the color is.

Don't hesitate if you're going from 60hz to 144hz. Edit: Don't buy this monitor
It was so different from my cheap monitor, that it took me a day to get used to the dark colors, the blacks are really black and the colors are true, whereas my old monitor had a whole layer of brightness over the whole screen. 144hz is much smoother than your old 60hz monitor, and the responsiveness for gaming is good, you will notice that you react faster because you are seeing more frames (144 compared to 60).
Edit: Don't buy this monitor, why? Well, I bought this off of Amazon support, Amazon support told me to contact the manufacturer for the warranty. I sent them a ticket, they said they will respond, they never responded. The issue was only 1 dead pixel, but I expect the warranty to be honored.

Day 2 and it's a whole new world
(The images are a little deceiving since there's glare and the curved screen looks smaller from the angle but the left and right monitors are both 27 inch. Also laptop is a 13 inch. Excuse the clutter, was still setting up.)
So far so good, day 2. Love the slanted usb ports that are on the bottom right hand side of the screen (behind screen) and the cable management is clean/easy. Picture is clear and the refresh rate is great. Upgraded from a 27 inch 2k 144hz non curved Dell and I don't think I'll go back to a non curved screen ever. Already using it for both work and gaming rig, changing inputs is a tiny bit annoying just because the buttons are more recessed than previous monitor. But overall a very easy process. The snapping of multiple windows on the screen is absolutely a game change for me, the screen size basically gives me two screens and for working/multitasking it has been fantastic. The gaming side I haven't don't much yet but ran one game of rocket league and already in love with the field of view difference. Of course that's expected since I'm moving up 7 or so inches in monitor size. All in all I'm very happy with the purchase and I love the monitor. Just tinkered with the PIP and PBP this morning, excited to use it and can see some instances (probably non productive) where that will be handy and neat.
Edit 1 3/18/21: finally got some gaming in and it is nice. Rocket league, EVE and some warhammer. Nothing too fancy but the refresh is nice, the field of view is honestly just so much to get used to but in a good way. Feels great and looks awesome. I'm sure this would be pretty gnarly for fps's and other games.

Reviewing for out-of-the-box experience...
Needing a replacement for my damaged ultrawide monitor, I picked this one as a step up. It's NOT full 4K, but given the 1)size, 2) curve, 3) relative price, this monitor seemed like a good value. Also, I have owned AOC (not the Congressperson) products before, so I was not expecting to be blown away or anything, and to have some complaints, but also I was expecting something that did the thing it was supposed to do.
Quick takes: 1) Not an ultra-precise display for color or all viewing angles (I mean, if you need ULTRA perfect), but if you're looking for that, you wouldn't consider this price-point anyway
2) 100% great for general desktop use and gaming-- sitting at the center, color and brightness are uniform from edge-to-edge, and normally-imperceptible color variation from top-to-bottom (you will see it with some colors during a manual calibration, but not normally otherwise)
3) Be prepared to make a lot of adjustments to the monitor's settings in order to get the picture where you want it-- AOC does themselves a disservice shipping it the way it's set, as many out-of-the-box users are going to be confused and disappointed, I expect.
So, out of the box, the monitor is pretty substantial-- it has a heft and build quality I'm used to seeing in more expensive monitors. Setup is as easy as you'd expect for any monitor these days. I used DisplayPort, but the monitor also has HDMI inputs also.
Right away, though, I could see something was off about the monitor's settings, which isn't a huge deal, because you can just change the settings, right? Well, yes, but... this monitor insists on having the MOST HORRIFIC combo of on-screen display and small, identical-feeling, hidden control buttons. Getting around the OSD menu is a nightmare of accidentally exiting menus, turning the monitor off, and paranoia about pressing the wrong buttons.
One thing, right off the bat, that was extra-confusing is that (despite what some of the listing info says above this monitor DOES have HDR). However, turning it on in Windows immediately makes the picture entirely washed out, giving me a new starting point to calibrate and to question the sanity/value of HDR (honestly, with it turned on in Windows and on the monitor, I can't see a big difference, but just some odd behavior in games sometimes.. not even sure why).
I'm not a pro at calibration, but I get the basics and, walking through some online manual (as in, by-hand) calibrations, I both learned a lot about the display, and got the picture to a decent place-- it's annoying the default settings didn't start closer. I was able to get it to a place I like-- others have said things about the brightness, but I've had no issue-- I've had to turn my brightness down a bit to get it to a comfortable place.
Anyway, I recommend it, just know what you're getting into.

This Ultrawide is a game changer!
Pros:
- That price! $450 for these specs is a steal.
- 3440 x 1440 resolution at 144hz is absolutely stunning. The added screen real estate in games and desktop use is phenomenal.
- Freesync appears to work almost flawlessly in most games tested I have tested.
- This monitor comes calibrated from the factory, and AOC even includes a calibration report. Mine was calibrated in SRGB mode, which I would assume most others will be as well. They claim delta E's under 3, averaging 0.51. I don't have the gear to test this claim, but by eye it appears to be very accurate.
- The contrast is about where you would expect a VA panel to be, which is always good.
- Gets plenty bright for those of us who like to use their computers in bright rooms.
- This monitor shows up as having 10 bit color depth, though it is potentially 8 bit with dithering (which is still great).
- Great uniformity. There are no issues with grey uniformity and the screen brightness is very uniform.
- More options than most monitors! Always good to see.
- If you like black frame insertion, this monitor has it.
- Setting up the stand only requires 1 screw and it attaches to the monitor tool-less.
- Has all of the useful adjustments you would want in a monitor.
- Standard AC power cord! By all means, this is a minor point, but it's a very nice convenience.
- Basic HDR support is technically a pro.
Cons:
- HDR support on this monitor doesn't do much, 400 nits isn't terribly bright for HDR, there's no local dimming and Windows support is terrible. Maxing the brightness will probably give you a less buggy experience than what HDR adds.
- Black uniformity, while better than most monitors (especially curved ones), does still have a very small amount of clouding mostly around the left and right edges of the display.
- Response times. I don't consider myself someone who notices ghosting much, but I can notice some of it on this monitor. Setting the overdrive to medium gets rid of most of it, though if you're more sensitive to ghosting you will likely still notice it. Setting overdrive to strong will give you overshoot, but not as much ghosting.
- AOC's decision to continue to use 4 buttons along the bottom of the display for the OSD is extremely unfortunate. A joystick would have been far better. You can somewhat circumvent it by downloading the G-Menu software from their website, but you shouldn't have to install software to change settings easily.
- The construction is mostly plastic. I don't think this a deal breaker, and it feels sturdy by plastic standards, but it is worth mentioning.
- Viewing angles aren't as good as an IPS display if you frequently work off-center or have a multi-monitor setup.
- BFI noticeably dims the monitor, and it cannot be used with adaptive sync. If you would like both of these features, the ASUS VG27AQ allows this, though that display is not an ultrawide.

- If you like black frame insertion, this monitor has it.
- Setting up the stand only requires 1 screw and it attaches to the monitor tool-less.
- Has all of the useful adjustments you would want in a monitor.
- Standard AC power cord! By all means, this is a minor point, but it's a very nice convenience.
- Basic HDR support is technically a pro.
Cons:
- HDR support on this monitor doesn't do much, 400 nits isn't terribly bright for HDR, there's no local dimming and Windows support is terrible. Maxing the brightness will probably give you a less buggy experience than what HDR adds.
- Black uniformity, while better than most monitors (especially curved ones), does still have a very small amount of clouding mostly around the left and right edges of the display.
- Response times. I don't consider myself someone who notices ghosting much, but I can notice some of it on this monitor. Setting the overdrive to medium gets rid of most of it, though if you're more sensitive to ghosting you will likely still notice it. Setting overdrive to strong will give you overshoot, but not as much ghosting.
- AOC's decision to continue to use 4 buttons along the bottom of the display for the OSD is extremely unfortunate. A joystick would have been far better. You can somewhat circumvent it by downloading the G-Menu software from their website, but you shouldn't have to install software to change settings easily.
- The construction is mostly plastic. I don't think this a deal breaker, and it feels sturdy by plastic standards, but it is worth mentioning.
- Viewing angles aren't as good as an IPS display if you frequently work off-center or have a multi-monitor setup.
- BFI noticeably dims the monitor, and it cannot be used with adaptive sync. If you would like both of these features, the ASUS VG27AQ allows this, though that display is not an ultrawide.

24" 144Hz Flat Monitor
Nice monitor. I can't really tell the difference in color quality too much. If I have a minor issue with the way the screen looks, I tweak the settings, but as far as I can tell, the monitor has pretty good colors. I bought it because I wanted a 120Hz monitor and here it was: a monitor with 144Hz that has stellar reviews. There is such a crazy difference between 144Hz and 60/75Hz. I now use 4 monitors for my PC: this one at 144Hz, 2 others at 75Hz and another one at 60Hz all running at 1080p with my GTX 1660Ti graphics card. I can immediately compare the 75Hz monitor and this one and let me tell you, it's night and day. If you're a gamer, you'll see a crazy difference.
The thing with this monitor tho, is that the price fluctuates tremendously on the daily. It goes through extreme lows and highs in a matter of days. The picture that I included in this review is a graph on the price history of this particular monitor (24" 144Hz Flat) in the last 60 days from the making of this review. As you can see, it will go from $170something to $300 in 1-2 days. I use the chrome extension called "Honey" to check the price changes of things I wanna buy and I suggest you get something similar or just wait for the price to go down if it's like $250, because it will. The lowest price I can see for the 24" 144Hz flat monitor is about $179, which is the price I paid. Also, when I bought it in January, it said that it was gonna come in March maybe because they ran out of stock or whatever idk but I ended up getting it like 1.5 to 2 weeks after my order.
So overall, I really recommend this monitor but please don't get it when it's overpriced.

Mediocre monitor in pretty much all respects
I bought this monitor as a mostly gaming monitor followed by office work and some amateurish photo editing.
The pros:
- Decent color accuracy out of the box
- Curved screen makes it feels larger and more immersive vs same 27" flat
Cons:
- Freesync does not work well with Nvidia 3080 - flicker city all over the place. I spent two days trying to tune this out by wiping and installing clean drivers, creating customer resolutions and changing the Freesync range using third party software - nothing worked.
- Display looked fuzzy and less crisp than I expected
- Viewing angles aren't that good resulting in perceived brightness changes as you shift your head.
I returned it and got another brand, which was Nvidia-certified to work with FreeSync. No more flickering issues and picture quality is significantly better.

First time I haven't missed my old Sony Trinitron!
Wow... wow wow wow. Ever since I first switched to flat screen panels, I've always felt like they can never live up to the color reproduction or clarity of my old Sony Trinitron. It was a giant white plastic cube with flat glass that felt like it weighed more than I did, but that monitor has always been the gold standard for me. No flat screen I've used since has been able to match it. This is the first time a flat screen monitor hasn't left me feeling like the game I'm playing would have looked better on that Trinitron. This is also my first experience with a VA panel, or with a monitor this large in general, but I am honestly shocked by the quality of the image this monitor produces.
You definitely need a video card with sufficient power and memory to get this monitor to do 144 hz.. I am using an 8-year old GTX 680 lightning and while it is still a capable card in some respects (I use it for an oculus rift with no problems) its 2Gb of VRAM lack the memory bandwidth required to push 3440 x 1440 at 144 hz. No worries here though, because I'm upgrading my card to a new Radeon 5700 xt with the money i saved by buying this direct from Amazon. (Amazon is the only retailer not price gouging and sells this monitor for 459$ when they have it in stock so be patient!)
I will update my review after testing it with my new card because reviewing it without testing 144 hz at 1440 is premature, but right now I couldn't be happier. It's nice to be bottlenecked by my system for once.
Considering your monitor is the peripheral that you spend all your time starting at, it should be as robust as the system you're pairing it with. This is my dream monitor and it feels good just looking over and seeing it on my desk even when it's turned off. I'm surprised no one has mentioned how classy and solid the stand seems or how clean the overall styling of the monitor itself is. The legs are a work of art and the stand goes up and down so smoothly.. it's impressively easy to lift up and down considering the weight of the monitor. This thing is far better engineered than the Asus, Dell or ViewSonic flatscreen monitors I've used in the past.
Contrary to what I read in the reviews prior to my purchase, I was pleasantly surprised by the out of box settings. I thought I would have to tweak it a lot after reading the other reviews. This might only apply to the 34-inch version of this monitor since it's the flagship, and might be finer tuned than the other panels during production. It also arrived just as promised with no dead pixels.. and I love that the company offers a 3-year guarantee on that. Though I doubt I'll ever have to use it.
I mentioned this above, but it's worth noting you can get this monitor for way less than the 900$ currently being demanded by some retailers. I think the high number of people stuck at home during quarantine upgrading their toys is driving prices up.. after almost buying this for 900$ I kept checking and sure enough Amazon got a couple in stock the other night for $459. They also had a few of the 32 inch non-curved displays for 259 but I went ahead and splurged. My wife gave me permission cuz it's my anniversary present... She's the best. Amazon shipped it to my door in just a couple days and I couldn't be happier.
*Edit after upgrade to 5700 xt* 5/19/2020
Holy moly I'm in love with this monitor. The colors are wonderful and I can finally push this monitor to it's full 144 hz in a lot of games. It's worth noting a lot of older games don't scale to ultrawide very easily but if you mod Skyrim it's amazing to behold in 3440 x 1440.. especially at 144 hz. If you can get this monitor without being price gouged, jump on it.

Great picture but still suffers from Freesync / Gsync flickering
The contrast and price of the monitor are definitely the top selling points as it's $100 less than comparable IPS monitors with even better blacks. Ghosting is definitely not an issue for me with overdrive set to Strong.
Unfortunately the flickering issues from the previous generation still occur with this monitor and seemingly impact all Samsung VA panels. When using Gsync (works but not certified compatible) or Freesync and the framerate drops below the Freesync range at 48hz or has a sudden framerate drop the screen will sometimes show a flickering effect or go completely black for a couple seconds.
This monitor is ideal for watching video or productivity work, but if you are a gamer and not able to maintain over 60fps then I would recommend looking for a monitor that uses IPS panels.

Should be way more expensive
Flawless monitor, really really big. Mount is solid, all the brackets are put together without a single wrench or screw driver. Its a bright screen, butI would rate it a little lower than my other monitors but sufficient . I bought this as a second monitor, but it looks way better than my 500 Dollar LG . It really has taken me back, I am really surprised how they are able to make money on it. IPS panel, G SYNC works seamlessly. Only thing I had to do to get G SYNC to work, was disable GAME MODE in the monitor settings. It automatically detected it after, no shuttering no flickering not even on LOW fps, I am not sure what these other people are talking about in the answered questions section. G Sync works just fine.

It came with 3 dead pixel next to each other on the lower left
I bought this monitor because I was looking for a good 144hz monitor without been that expensive. I like this monitor so far it has all the features I was looking for. 1ms response time, up tu 165hz even though I think trough the hdmi I’m only getting 144hz which is enough for me and also it is an IPS panel which Supposedly is one of the more color activate monitors on the market.I can say out of the box because with a good color quality but it does need to be adjusted a little bit in my opinion color quality is good he has good visuals and good angles, also the base Is still tiltable and has a swivel and it goes up and down so you can adjust all the angles are you like this 24 inches is very good size for gaming Allison 1080 P resolution we should make it perfect for an entry-level gaming and for the price is a beast.
The only thing I didn’t like about is money or is that it came with three that pixels in the left lower part of the monitor. I spoke to Amazon and they try to fix it With the hardware that did not work they also made me turn off the Monitor and apply pressure on the on The dead pixelBut it did not work I didn’t ask for a replacement because since it is on the left lower side of the Monia it doesn’t really bother me although for the money I pay for it I would’ve rather have a. I dead pixel. But since I’ve been looking through the reviews almost everybody gets a dead pixel. So I’m afraid that if I showed you are my girl and I will monitor with more dead pixels. Overall I like this monitor I will up they in a later day to see if I get more dead pixels

Decent gaming monitor for the price
The display looks nice, no dead pixels or any specific issue there. I knew going in that it wasn't the brightest of monitors. It looks astounding in a dark room, but can have issue with certain game aspects in a well lit room. Solid black screens have a patchy look from backlight bleed. This is not unexpected for the type of monitor and in particular at this price point.
It works quite well with static pages. The only aspect that bothers me is that while you scroll on certain websites/text it will blink the text (I don't know a better way to describe) and it can be distracting to headache inducing according to what you have to do on it.
The frame rate and gaming feature are why I bought it. It's fast, works great with games I play, no issues outside the above mentioned brightness. Don't note any ghosting, tear, etc. It is G sync compatible which is a major plus for avoiding those issues.
The curved aspect is cool to look at, and curved are less expensive than flat. It takes up a bit more room on the desktop space with the curve and the stand, which put the monitor about 6" closer to me that I normally would place it. It's fine given the resolution as you cannot see pixels and such because of it.
Overall, for the price, and considering the warranty that AOC offers it seems a worthwhile purchase.

This monitor nearly doubled in price, and it is NOT worth it! HONEST USER REVIEW
I got this monitor off Amazon once and it was either stolen or lost. So I went and bought it from BestBuy personally to avoid shipping. It was $449.
Let me start off by saying that this monitor includes a TON of features for the price of $449.
*****HOWEVER*****
It sort of feels like most of the features don't actually work, or work how they're supposed to!
1440P? Check
34" Curved? Check
Looks great on my desk? Check.
Freesync? flickers brightness when enabled. useless.
OSD settings? Overdrive, motion blur reduction, etc ----- are all bad, most dont work right.
Fluid 144hz screen with minimal lag ----- yeah ok. This monitor has so much motion blur that I don't enable MB in games, the monitor has enough.
I've had it for around 3/4 months now, and honestly, it's not all bad. It is a huge upgrade from my last AOC 27" 1080p 60hz. The picture quality is very nice and 144hz is better than 60hz. I cant go back to a screen smaller than 34" ultrawide, or less than say, 120hz.
But anyway, I would never EVER pay $728 for this monitor. Better off getting a high-end name brand, such as Samsung or ROG, or Alienware.
Compared to the $700+ it now costs, I feel like I got a demo/trial version for $449. I highly encourage users to try out all the features and settings in games and if you don't have any problems, cool. If it takes too much tweaking, or things flat out don't work, just do yourself a favor and return this and get a real name brand one.

First impression is absolutely amazing
Some people in the reviews really tear this thing apart for color. I've had it for a few hours now and it's absolutely amazing coming from a 6 year old asus 24" TN panel 1ms 144hz. The TN panel's colors were so washed out at 144hz. It never bothered me, but now that I have this thing I see a monster difference in color depth. I don't really see backlight bleed like some say. Maybe I got lucky. I haven't even touched the monitors settings yet and the picture is just miles better than my previous monitor.
I'll be updating this review after a year or so, but my first impressions are good.
Some people are going to be picky, but this is a huge upgrade if you're coming from an older TN panel like me. If money isn't an option or you demand perfect color reproduction...by all means, spend more money. For a gamer like myself that plays mostly older games at 144+ fps, this thing is great. It's not perfect, I feel like I see some backlight flicker occasionally. It may be related to the gsync thing people have talked about. Maybe I can't maintain frame rates because I'm mining Ethereum and have the card underclocked. I honestly don't know as this is my first monitor that can do frame syncing.

Great Monitor, Non-Existant Customer Support
This monitor is wonderful, the screen is of great quality, and the picture adjustments allowed me to get it dialed in quite nicely. That said, do not buy it for anything above the MSRP of $430. There are better monitors available when you get up into the $550+ range, and you shouldn't give these price gougers your money because it just encourages their non-sense.
You also should probably find another monitor if you can even if you can find it for $430. AOC boasts a great warranty, and even one time accidental damage replacement (provided its within your first year of ownership). Unfortunately good luck getting ahold of them to start the RMA process. When my kid made the unfortunate mistake of busting my screen right down the middle, I called support the next day, got in contact with a human pretty quickly, and they basically told me that to submit for that kind of problem I needed to go online to submit a ticket. Alright, fine, I did. I then got an email saying someone would contact me in the next two business days. They didn't. I waited nine days before trying to submit another ticket, thinking it maybe just got lost in the shuffle of the season. As of writing this it has been a full two weeks without response. My computer has been unusable this whole time because I don't have another monitor lying around any more, and yesterday I ran out to goodwill to buy a temporary replacement and I'm still hanging on to hope that they'll respond at some point.
This is just to get in contact with someone so that we can START the replacement process. Even if they eventually respond and say that they'll uphold their end of the warranty against accidental damage, we'll still have a process whereby I will have to provide proof of purchase and damage, which then could take who knows how long for them to actually look at, and then they'll likely respond, sending me a shipping label so I can box up the monitor, ship it off, and wait for the new one to arrive. Even if they responded TOMRROW, that process would likely take an additional week if they get back to each of my responses within a reasonable amount of time. And I'm not under the impression that they will get back to me in a reasonable amount of time if their current response time is anything to go by. If the EVER decide to help me out here, its likely this whole process will take multiple months, all the while I'm on an ancient POS with a 4:3 screen ratio.
I would just buy a different monitor at this point, but I cant really afford that because this was a big purchase for me that I made because I've been working at home for a while now.
