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.


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.

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.

There is some black smearing when you have white text on the black background but this has no impact on how things look in game.



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.


Highlights:
1. This VA panel is good. Black level is just great for high contrast scene, such as those in movies and games. It simply smashes IPS monitors that I had. Color is good enough for home use, and it's accurate according to online reviews.
2. The panel is fast enough for gaming. I played CODMW on this and LG 27GL83A and you can definitely tell the LG is faster and more fluid in motion. But the difference isn't big enough to give you edges in this game. Conversely the field of view is much wider on AOC and probably gives you better gaming experience at the end. But you will need a beefy GPU (e.g. RTX 2070S) to maintain high FPS on this AOC 34.
3. The monitor is great for productivity work. I find the texts easier on eyes and the color is not over saturated. I have used LG 98% DCI-P3 monitor and I get this 'color fatigue' due to bright red/yellow/green color. This VA panel strikes a good balance in this area and it's a much better tool for reading and work.
Overall it's a very good monitor and I highly recommend it.
Monitors used in the past:
iMac 5K, Dell P2715Q, LG 34GK950G, LG 27GL83A

the brightness is horrible for a HDR monitor.
mine arrived with a dead pixel and yet they say they do colour calibration on the item in factory and yet they are unable to find dead pixels.

Sometimes pressing ESC or ALT+ENTER will fix the Black Screen for a bit, but unfortunately the black screen always seems to happen at just the wrong moment in games.
I initially thought it was a combination of monitor settings, AOC G-Menu, or NVidia settings. The monitor just doesn't work well in fullscreen. Tried Modern Warfare, Apex Legends, Marvel's Avengers (Beta), and Doom Eternal. They all exhibit the Black Screen behavior to some degree.
Disabling the G-Sync setting in NVidia helps, but doesn't cure the problem. I've bought a high-quality expensive DP cable here from Amazon and still no luck. I guess this monitor is just a dud. Another friend has the same monitor with this issue at all...


When you go to AOC's US website, there are 5 choices for driver download and the option for "Screen + Driver" currently has a broken URL link. Just download the "Driver" only option. Unzip it in Windows and install the INF file. This will allow you to be able to adjust the monitor using all the OSD functions built into the monitor.
Additionally, their whites aren't as white as other monitors but I just got used to it. I've tried all the adjustments and fine tuning using the OSD and NVIDIA settings and the white is still not has good as an LG IPS monitor. Overall, it's a good value but frustrating experience for users trying to set-up and fine tune the monitor. The driver should be included with the monitor instead of customers having to go and search for it on their website with broken links.


As far as the physical aspects go, the stand is large, as you would expect, but you can tell AOC did their best to make it as unobtrusive on your desk as possible. The matte screen is super nice as well, and unless you have a window directly behind you, there should be any glare. There is almost no bezel, but there is still quarter inch or so black strip around the edge of the monitor, which I hardly notice. I’m not super in love with the silver stand or red accents, but that’s what I get for buying a gaming monitor.
I was a little concerned about my laptop being able to handle the resolution, but it does just fine, and I can run Fortnight and Paladins at max settings (granted I have a fairly new Thinkpad X1 Extreme). No dead pixels, and I pretty much have the brightness all the way down because I stare at it for 10-15 hours a day. Be aware that some games may not allow you to utilize the full screen, as the producers feel it gives you an unfair advantage, and most movies won’t fit the full screen. There are quite a few newer titles on Amazon Prime video that fit though, which is pretty cool.
All in all, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The other options I was looking at were nearly double the price. Unless you have a $5k gaming PC and really appreciate the fine details of a display, this is, in my opinion, the way to go. I doubt you’ll find anything better than this for under $1k


The stand is nice, and installs without any tools, it doesn't wobble, and you can raise lower and tilt it. Has a nice cable management hole in the center of it. I'm really glad I chose this monitor to go with, it's probably the best investment I've bought for my PC in a long time. The only fault that I can find with this monitor is the lack of joystick to navigate the settings, it is a little tedious the way the button layout is but I will not be using that part much anyway.


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.
