Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The AOC CU34G2XPD/BK is a 34-inch curved ultrawide gaming monitor at £249.90, sitting at number 6 in our guide to ultrawide curved gaming monitors. It is a 3440 x 1440 VA panel with a 1500R curve, listed with HDR400 and FreeSync Premium, a 130 mm height-adjustable stand, a removable stand and VESA 100 x 100 mounting. It carries 4.5 out of 5 from 561 ratings.
The reason it is worth reading the listing closely: AOC's own text does not agree with itself. The product title says 180Hz; the very first bullet point says "144 Hz refresh rate". The title says HDMI 2 x 2.0 while the fourth bullet says 2 x HDMI 1.4. The contrast ratio is listed at 1,000:1, yet one of the reviews on the page quotes 4,000:1, and that same review quotes a price of £199 against the £249.90 shown here. None of that makes the monitor bad — it makes the copy unreliable, which is exactly why it sits where it does in the guide. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing; we have not tested the monitor ourselves.
