Wish I could give this 3.5 stars
I purchased this in June of 2020 and it took until the beginning of August to receive it (stock issues). The monitor is spectacular and helps me play any game I want and the picture is crisp. I see no blur at all on anything I play on it. The monitor is really top of the line even if the warranty service is not that great.
Why 3.5 stars - At 7 months the monitor picture went completely dead, couldn't even see the monitors display settings. Calling them at first was hard to get someone on the phone, I would call and after 15 minutes of holding it went to a machine where I never got a call back. I used their online form to contact them and finally got someone to help asking for pictures and information, I sent everything within 30 minutes. Called them back a few days later after not hearing anything and finally got someone on the phone. They explained to me that they had not received my information (although I had replied directly to the email). I sent the information again and still they didn't get it. They had to send me another email (from the same email I replied to) so I could send the information again for a third time, they finally got it. This whole situation took 6 days. From there it was was me calling to hound them over and over until I finally got an RMA 8 days later. Once I got the RMA I thought I would have my new monitor within the week, wrong. The entire thing took a total of 24 days to finally get the new monitor. This would have been much worse if I wasn't calling them every other day to keep on them. This to me is a horrible experience especially since I had to use my old monitor and go from 3440x1440 back to 1920x1080 and a smaller screen. Made gaming and work more difficult.

Best bang for the buck that I could find
I use a triple monitor setup for my PC gaming, so I bought three of these. I purchased the G2 model with only Full HD (1080p), but I got the 240Hz models that are curved. I have to say that these are very impressive for the price. The curve really works great when you line three of these monitors up, bezel to bezel. The curve is almost perfectly continuous across all three monitors, creating a great immersive gaming experience.
They have adaptive sync and can refresh up to 240 times per second, so they are basically made for gaming. I only have a 10xx series Nvidia GPU, but it does support adaptive sync and the current Nvidia drivers allow these monitors to quickly be enabled for adaptive sync usage. I had to adjust the refresh rate in the Nvidia Control Panel in order to remove the refresh limits, but after doing so my games are running buttery smooth with no ghosting or blur. I LOVE IT!!!
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I see no dead pixels on any of the three units I purchased. They came packaged well and were completely undamaged upon arrival. They came with a DP and an HDMI cable too, so that's nice.
The only negative thing I have to say is that there is some backlight bleed through that is apparent when the screens are dark and the room is also dark. But as soon as something is displayed on the screens the bleed through around the edges is not noticeable. For $300 each, I really can't complain. I'd buy these again, and again, and again. And the adaptive sync works great with Nvidia GPUs even though these monitors are not officially approved by Nvidia. I think they soon will be though.

Buy this monitor if you see it at $259.99!
I purchased this product at $259.99 and I would buy it again at that price.
FreeSync flickering
This has never happened to me once! I've been using the monitor for a few weeks and it's a non issue. I'm using an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and have not tried NVIDIA. But if you have an newer AMD graphics card like I do, I recommend this monitor!
Ghosting
I barely notice the ghosting. When I'm looking for it, I can see it on text, but it's not noticible in game (except a little with moving text) and I don't think it should be an issue for most people.
Darker blacks
I've never used VA before. My two most recent screens are a 1080p 144hz IPS on my Acer laptop and a 1080p 75hz IPS on my Asus monitor. To be honest, I can barely tell the difference. VA has a little bit darker blacks.
Backlight bleed
This montior does have backlight bleed just like an IPS. My Asus monitor has almost none but it's also smaller. Expect some backlight bleed with this monitor. If there was a monitor that guaranteed ZERO backlight bleed but cost more, I'd buy it, but backlight bleed exists at higher price points too. It's a roll of the dice. Luckily, you can only see it during dark scenes and sometimes not even then!
Dead pixels
MY monitor has NONE! I hate dead pixels and the reason I went with AOC is because their warranty is second to none on paper. I hope I don't have to use it but it's amazing to have.
1500R Curve
I have never used a curved montior before and was suspicious. However, I like the curve because I barely notice it while using it and it does make for an impressive look!
The stand
It's the best. I have always had to look down at monitors but this is not as issue with this one!

You can't get better than this puppy.
Using the Hardware Unboxed recommended settings this beauty offer's the same quality that $500 monitors give.
I wanted 1440p, but considering the cost I said "screw it", let's go here. I won the lottery as well: no dead pixels, back-light bleed is gone after lowering brightness to 90 with contrast at 42.
red: 45
green: 50
blue: 42
overdrive: strong
freesync: on (I have a 5600xt) using display port I reach the 144hz. I've also tested to get 3.23 ms on response times.
I bought when they updated saying that it would be in stock. Then after 30 minutes the whole shipment was bought out before they arrived. You have to be quick with these... If you can get it, do it.

Not bad for the price... but not good either. Lots of blur
I purchased this monitor for video editing and gaming. I want the wider screen mostly to extend my video editing timeline. I don't need to work with anything extremely color accurate so this monitor was good for the price.
The colors are decent but the monitor is rather dark. Areas that should be pure white were at times an off white or gray-ish even after boosting the brightness and gamma.
The motion blur was a lot more than I anticipated. With the monitor being a VA panel I figured there would be some motion blur, but this was way too bad for my liking. Scrolling through dark websites would lead to text blurring out. The black areas have a very difficult time refreshing.
It is 144hz but with the slow response time of the VA Panel, the higher you set the FPS the more blur there was. It ran best (but still had noticeable blur) at 100HZ but then that defeats the purpose of the monitor.
This was my first VA panel as I typically game on a TN and IPS. Maybe it is a typical VA blur but to me it was too much.
I returned this monitor and purchased the LG 34GK950F-B. Same specs but it is an IPS monitor and it is amazingly better. It is also about double in price though. For me it was worth the upgrade.
If the blur and a darker panel doesn't bother you, then go for it. Its not awful and the blacks are really black and colors look decent. The blur just ruined it for me personally.

Almost good but can't recommend
Pros:
1. Great price (~$430 when I bought) for a curved 34" 3440x1440 144hz 1ms monitor.
2. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the stand. Better stand than most monitors at this price point.
Cons:
1. As many others have observed, some games have flickering with adaptive sync turned on. My flickering issues were resolved by switching to a 1.4 VESA certified DisplayPort cable and capping the H-Rate at 215hz. Not a big deal, as 1.4 VESA DP cables are only like $10-15.
2. AOC says this is 300 nits brightness but it's not. It appears to be in the mid-200s at best.
3. I had a dead green subpixel out of the box. I'm not going to bother returning it (and I'm not sure I'd even be able to), but I'm very disappointed at the quality control for a monitor that costs almost half a grand.

Good but Not worth it at current pricing.
I was lucky enough to get this for its regular price at $180 and I'm gonna assume that because this monitor is soo popular that they felt that they can jack the price up..At this point this is going for more than the Benq mobiuz 25 and seems to be going out of stock fast regardless of the price hike..Not sure why people are paying up to $270 for this when you can get better at that price. The reason this monitor is soo popular is because of what you get for the price at the time. It's not worth it over $200. With that said if you can get it for under $200 then we're talking good value for money right there. Colors are great with this being my second ips panel in terms of color I prefer this over the benq mobiuz 25 which I sent back in favor of the AOC. G2 runs smooth. Not as bright as I think it should be in certain cases and I feel like the contrast is lacking..Keep in mind that AOC changed the original panel they were using for this model so it's not quite the same monitor that became soo popular in the first place. What I appreciate the most is that there is actually a desktop app I found where you can adjust the settings. Long story short it's a good monitor under $200 if you gonna spend more than that there are better options out there.

Nice For Gaming. Not sure about curve.
AOC CU34G2X 34" Curved For gaming,this monitor rocks. Alot of games support 3440x1440. World of Warcraft/Warships, Division, Wildlands, etc. The features for this price point are impossible to find elsewhere...maybe a few more years and others will start coming down in price. Viewing the monitor at 3 feet or more, the curve is kind of annoying. But at 2 Feet and closer, it feels like it makes sense. I ran a free web based monitor test, and so far, all pixels are good and response times are as expected. I'm ok with the stock color settings. I'm keeping the original packing materials in case anything goes wrong and I need to rely on the manufacturer warranty.
Mounting the base to the neck can be done with hand tightening nuts they include on the base. Mounting the monitor to the neck didn't require any tools. Super easy set-up.
For comparison in the photo, the monitor next to it in the photo is a 24" 1920x1080 Acer.
I enabled G-Sync and the adaptive sync appears to be working. To see the monitors resolution and refresh rates, navigate to the "extra" menu selection. I can see that "Adaptive-Sync" is set for V.Frequency. On an ASUS ROG SWIFT 27 144hz monitor, i only need to click the menu button to see the details, without having to navigate to a different menu area. ** Update: Although the Adaptive Sync is enabled, I can see that the refresh rate doesn't quite compare to normal G-Sync. If you are expecting super smooth and clear visuals with fast movements, recommend getting a real G-Sync monitor if you can afford it. ***
The monitor controls are clumsy, but workable.

Impressed for the price
While I am not much a gamer, I do appreciate a good display, especially a moving one. Getting into 3440x1440@144Hz has been a whole new ball game of getting the right ports, right cables along with KVM switches and cheap usb-c hubs (and even pricer ones) that can't pull those specs, that came as surprise. I ended up connecting my Lenovo X1 Extreme (Gen 1) with a usb-c to display port cable, plugged directly into the laptop usb-c port which got me all 144Hz.
Coming from a 16:9 1080p @ 60 Hz monitor, this is night and day, so much more real estate (more then double the pixels) and so much smoother.
The game I did play with this monitor was buying it. I got one for $449 in July 2020. It seems that when amazon is the seller they where selling for either $439 or $449. However they where rarely in stock. Due to value of this monitor 3rd party sellers seem to be in stock since they are selling with their best prices around $560-$580. Even saw a used one go up in the high $400s and get snatched within hours. For me once I decided to go with this monitor I just kept a tab open on my browser, hit refresh thought the day (once every 30min-1hr), be ready to hit that buy now button when the price drops it will not last long. On one of those price drops I paused to long and the stock was gone by the time I hit the Buy It Now button. When it say "hurry only 3 left in stock" they are not kidding. I eventually got it caught the price drop on another day, smashed the buy it now button, 2 days later I was in business.

Freesync not working. Not that bright.
This is alright. I love the design looks good, the little red is a nice touch, but compare it with just a brighter screen with more accurate color and you'll see a huge difference, even the new gigabyte for just a little more has a much more accurate and brighter picture. I got them side by side as I couldn't decide by videos. Also, AMD Freesync is not activating with this AOC monitor says it's not supported since the update with AMDs new drivers maybe they lost their Freesync badge as the Gigabyte is still working with Freesync. Also, some of these reviews are fake use Fakespot to detect them. Im glad I made the camparison, as I was happy with this until I saw something better for not much more.

Disappointing
I was expecting this monitor to perform significantly better than my slightly smaller monitor that is nearly 20 years old. The curve is nice and the bigger size is nice but that's about it. The contrast and color quality seems about the same and the frame rate and refresh rate seems about the same too. I don't think this monitor is actually 240hz or that the response rate is 0.5ms because it seems worse. Keep in mind, this old monitor I am replacing was on sale for $100 at the time of purchase nearly 20 years ago so it was not that high end at its time so for this monitor being $300 I'd expect a big jump in quality but was completely disappointed when I turned it on. And actually when I first turned it on it actually looked worse than my previous monitor. Like I thought my computer froze or something because the windows background looked worse with pixelation which was barely noticeable on my old monitor. So basically the other only good thing is that its brand new so it looks better even though the contrast, color, brightness etc. is about average and not as amazing as advertised

Locked out!
I rarely give negative reviews, but I never was able to get this monitor to work for more than a few minutes. It arrived on time and very well packaged in foam, looked like it was factory new. I was eager to use it as it comes with 2 Display Port Inputs; unusual for this type of monitor. I have 3 machines, two with Display Ports and one Hdmi. It worked right out of the box for 10 minutes using Display Ports. When I attempted to switch over to my Windows 10 Tower, Hdmi 1.4 with the OSD, it went downhill fast from there. The OSD menu is a horizontal strip along the bottom of the screen using left and right arrow to navigate and up and down to select. That in itself is not a problem except that the menu buttons are tiny and slightly recessed behind the lower front bezel edge. I struggled to use the buttons with my fat fingers and had to increase the timeout and still had some difficulty navigating the menu. I spent enough time that it should have gotten easier with familiarity, but it remained clumsy and unwieldy. I hesitate to make a big deal out of it, but I've used dozens of monitors, some more user-friendly than others and never had this much trouble. If everything else was working it would not have been a problem as once it's all set up, you probably would not need it to use the Menu except to switch inputs. Because of the problem I was having, I spent some time trying in vain to switch to HDMI when finally I couldn't get a menu screen at all. I suspect that it may be some OSD setting about DDC/CI or hardware that may be simple to fix. with 20/20 hindsight I should have used the Factory HDMI cable before returning it. but there is no good reason to be totally locked out from the OSD Menu as it never has been a problem with any other monitor, so I decided that for this reason alone I didn't want to mess with it. To have this occur right out of the box is probably rare and it did start out just fine, so there's no reason to assume that this product would not work well for a majority of users.
The specs for this monitor are really good, and I suspect that if used with Display Port on a single PC, it should work out well for gaming. I never got that far as the HDMI was inconsistent, and with the on/off LED indicator lit, (i.e. the monitor is powered on), and three active inputs, when I tried to switch between the them, the menu screen would not come up at all and I was unable to use the monitor with a blank screen with no way to access the menu. Now the Display Ports are also down. Recall that it did work for a while. The picture was good and I was pleased for as long as it lasted, before I started having problems. My Hdmi cables were labeled 4k cables I bought at Best Buy so I assumed they were OK so I didn't use the cable that came with the monitor, as mine worked fine with the same setup on another 21:9 monitor. That I could not get access to the OSD menu is a sure indication that the monitor is not recognizing the HDMI input. No input signal, no OSD. No OSD no way to switch input back to a working display port, Catch 22! I believe this to be a design flaw in the menu system that could be averted by having a little red reset button providing a means of mechanically resetting the system to a workable default state. A real manual with enough information to avoid trouble would be nice.
I tried all the usual steps to breath some life into it, Power cycle, check cables with another monitor etc. Power PC's off/on. Nothing to be done. Dead in the water. Bad cable? Maybe something to do with DDC/CI but at this stage you absolutely must be able to use the menu, again, Catch 22! I've used a lot of devices that got poor ratings from others, where they were 5 stars for me. Certainly not all the same products will be unusable. This is the first time in twenty years of online purchases that I've had a fatal failure, so I consider myself fortunate and am not upset. Because I had a problem does not mean it's inevitable that others will have the same experience; so I rated it with three stars instead of one.

Astonishingly Bad
I have had a TN panel for the past few years and was excited to make the switch to an IPS because I've heard they have deeper colors, are brighter, and have better viewing angles. I turned this monitor on and instantly noticed that the colors are much deeper than my TN panel, but darker. I messed with the contrast, brightness, and colors for hours trying to find good settings and I just couldn't find anything that wasn't either washed out, or vibrant but dark and hard to see. Also it really bothered me that the viewing angles on this monitor are absolutely horrible. After spending about 3 hours playing various games and looking at several test images, I couldn't get it to a comfortable balance. It's about then that I noticed a small dead pixel on the right side of the screen. So needless to say, this display got returned, and this was my first and definitely my last AOC monitor. My monitor of choice is still the HP 25x.

Fits my desk, my gaming style, and my budget nicely!
Pros:
The monitor itself looks and feels great. I have a red/black Rocinante-themed gaming rig and the look of this monitor compliments it well.
The panel itself performs very well. Playing Red Dead Online with all settings on ultra is amazing, and it’s 2k resolution really puts the beauty of RDO on display.
The curve is just enough to feel immersive, without being annoying or messing with viewing angle too much.
The included stand is super solid while remaining unintrusive. Fair amount of height and angle adjustment gives you options for positioning.
For the price, this monitor is a steal, when compared with other brands’ similarly featured offerings in the same class.
Included 1yr damage protection and 3yr dead-pixel replacement are a nice bonus, as well.
The Cons:
Panel of the first monitor had a prominent vertical line in it on the left side. Return was processed quickly by Amazon and I had a perfectly functioning replacement in a couple days.
Panel can tend to wash out a bit in a bright room or if facing a window.
Similar circumstances can also lead to excessive glare.
Overall, I love this monitor. Fits my desk, my gaming style, and my budget nicely!

Xbox One Owner
I wanted to write a review from the perspective of an Xbox One S owner. First, it's important to know that this monitor has stronger output capabilities than an Xbox can put out. You won't get the full 144hz with an Xbox, but you will be able to get the best out of your console's capabilities. Upon turning everything on, my console immediately recognized this monitor as a Freesync device and recommended I enabled freesync on the Xbox (variable refresh rate). Once enabled I could easily toggle between 60hz and 120hz, and chose 1080p as my resolution. These are the strongest settings for the console. My immediate reaction to the color and brightness wasnt very good, but after adjusting the monitors color and brightness I was actually very very pleased with how it looked. I've had this monitor for a few days and I'm already really happy with it -- especially at it's price. Would reccomend for anyone looking for a budget monitor with great specifications.

Great Monitor!
Item arrived in perfect condition and came factory calibrated with a detailed sheet. It comes included with all the cables that you need for it to operate. No dead pixels or screen bleed.Upgraded from a Samsung 27" CFG70 1080p 144hz monitor. Blacks are deep and impressive compared to my previous monitor. The OSD is kinda clunky but I don't need to change anything so i won't knock it for that fault. It's Huge!1500R is very noticable vs 1800R curvature and more immersive. I got lucky and bought it here from Amazon at MSRP, don't buy it for anything higher then $449.00! I had to check consistently for two days and eventually caught it, and they sellout really fast. Don't give up hope if you really want the item. It's well worth it, especially for it's price!

Excellent choice monitor (unless you're running a multi-thousand dollar rig)
I love my monitor. It has great color and clear picture quality. Now when I bought mine right after the new year it was 180 dollars. Since then it has gone up by nearly 100 dollars. In fact it jumped about 2 weeks after I bought it, I had planned to buy a second one if it turned out to be a good monitor, which, it did but sadly the price jumped. I am looking at the curved version and may get that for my main screen and shift this one to my secondary for stream and recording monitor.
I really have nothing bad to say, the stand is fairly solid, though I put mine on a desk mount so I don't grade a monitor by the stand quality, as long as it has VESA mounts I likely wouldn't care if it didn't come with a stand.
In summary, if you don't have thousands of dollars to buy the latest and greatest state of the art equipment this monitor is a great choice. I would recommend watching to see if the price goes back down if you have time to wait.

Great panel, no backlight bleed and no dead pixels
First off I currently have a LG 43UD79-B 43" 4K 60hz monitor, it's BIG so i thinking of downsizing and really wanted the 144Hz for gaming and the curve for immersion.
The First thing i did when i got this was check for backlight bleed and dead pixels. The panel I got was absolutely perfect and looked amazing. The 144hz made games look really smooth. The curve was great too, really immersive.
The only downside was the buttons instead of joystick and no remote control, making switching between input sources cumbersome. For example i switch between my personal PC and work laptop multiple times a day. with my old monitor it's just a click of the remote control, with this one i have to find the correct buttons to press on the bottom of the monitor.
Unfortunately I did end up returning this because i use a lot of windows for my work (MS Teams/outlook/chrome/intellij), and going from a large 4k monitor to this i was losing over 33% of my usable screen workspace. I also realized i can run my games in widescreen mode on the LG 43" monitor at 3840x1440 effectively giving me a 38" widescreen display with black bars on top and bottom (but only at 60Hz. Keep in mind the LG was $650 and this is only $439. For most this monitor is currently the best bang for your buck, and the panel is amazing. IMO if you are coming from a 16:9 27" or smaller monitor I would highly recommend this monitor unless you have a need to go larger.

Great budget 34 inch ultrawide.
I think that the only drawbacks for this monitor would basically be the brightness. Otherwise, it's fairly good and a great value at the time of writing this.
I am using a 1070ti with this monitor and having no issues with g-sync and have installed the drivers from AOC.
Keep in mind that the games you play need to support this spec and not all of them do.
Competitive games tend not to have support, especially fps, overwatch and valarant for example.
With regards to productivity, I have this set up to have my 2560x1600 monitors x 2 at work, to come in remotely at 1920 x 1440. Monitor sits about 2 feet away and I am loving this set up eveen though things are little small.
I think a 38 inch may be the sweeter spot for work productivity if you are going to have side by side screens on it, but the price points for 38 inches with 144 hz is a different league.
Some people might have issues with the curve if they need precision work, but I have no problems with it. And for hitscan which requires good aim and quick reflexes, I don't see any degradation of accuracy. So I think objectively this needs to be tested to see if it truly has impact - which I don't see.
people with gsync issues seem to either not install the AOC drivers or are maybe driving the monitors rates too slow (under 60). I think if you are buying this for the 144 vrr, your range would really be higher than 60 all the time, so keep this in mind as well - need to have the right CPU/GPU (and at times ram) to keep the frames at an acceptable level.
So overall, outside of the brightness 4 stars.

Awesome monitor once you get the settings right.
I work from home and needed a monitor that would also work well for gaming. This was one of the few 144 Hz, 1440p monitors that I could find. Stack that on top of AOC's no dead pixel guarantee, adaptive sync, and the $450 price tag, this thing looked irresistible. When I got it set up, I immediately noticed that it had a yellow tint to it and was dreading the return. It was right next to two other monitors and was pretty dang noticeable. After playing with the settings a bit, I got the yellow tint to go away. It's won't get bright as my other monitors but the maximum brightness level is perfect in my opinion. Also, adaptive sync works perfectly with NVIDIA cards. Games are buttery smooth, I couldn't be happier.
These are the settings I changed:

Eco Mode: Standard

Mid-Tier Monitor, Nothing Snazzy But Gets the Job Done.
The monitor settles comfortably in the "Not too bad, but nothing overly special" bracket- it features good specs, with the included benefit of being curved (although the topic of curved being "better" or not is still under debate) and features a 165hz refresh rate, a bonus for people who play reaction-based games (FPS, etc.) It comes with an HDMI 2.0 cable, with a DisplayPort 2.0 cable as well. It does not support DVI cables that some older graphics card still feature today.
This monitor will require quite a bit of configuration of the settings from factory-settings to ensure it correctly demonstrates colors. If you are looking for monitor that you can simply connect to your PC and enjoy right out of the box, this is not the monitor for you. There are plenty of other reviews that give their settings that do a fairly good job, but I would strongly recommend you test it out on your own to see what you like.
However, please do not be fooled by the "1ms MPRT" response time. That is a common marketing tool to give the impression of an "quick" 1ms response time, but specifically used on VA panels to make them seem faster. It is not a true 1ms response time.

Dim! Am I nuts?
I am not using this monitor for gaming, and that may be part of the problem. I got this for my home office now that I'll be working from home for the foreseeable future (COVID-19...). The price was right for a mid-range ultrawide, and wanted to give the curve a shot. The display is not bad, but VERY dim. I've been playing with the settings, and taken the advice from some of these reviews, but no matter what I do, the monitor is very dim. It'll do what I need it to do, though.

First monitor flicked at lower refresh rates. Replacement monitor sent from Amazon was a return.
The first monitor I got seemed fine at first, but when I dropped to lower refresh rates, its brightness would flicker and was very difficult to look at. At higher refresh rates, it would mostly work, but had an odd dullness to it, but in games, worked well. Every so often, it would also flicker its brightness, but not as often.
I requested a replacement and Amazon had it shipped out quickly.
The replacement came and was clearly someone else's return as it had a label that indicated it was sent from another store to Amazon, and the tape was haphazardly spread over the seam of the box where the tongue fastened the box. Again, absolutely, positively, a return.
Now I'm going through the return process for that one as well.
