Gigabyte Aorus MO34WQC2 preview – a 34in ultrawide, 240Hz OLED

The Gigabyte Aorus MO34WQC2 is considered one of a number of new 34-inch ultrawide OLED gaming displays to be arriving in 2024, after an entire load of them have been introduced at CES 2024. This Gigabyte one goes to 240Hz and packs in a 3,440 x 1,440 decision, plus it contains KVM performance, so you may join the display, keyboard and mouse to a number of units and have all three swap which gadget is being linked.

On present at CES 2024, we received some transient hands-on time with the panel to see the way it holds up and discover out if it’s set to be a best gaming monitor contender when it turns into accessible later within the 12 months.

By way of styling, the MO34WQC2 is a bit on the boring facet. It has fairly a chunky decrease body chin and equally hefty stand, with each elements being completed in a very underwhelming-looking black plastic. There’s simply little or no finesse to the externals of this panel.

Nonetheless, the stand provides top, rotation and tile adjustment and the aforementioned connectivity is first rate. We didn’t get an opportunity to see the KVM switching in motion however imagine it’s accessible when utilizing a USB-C connection, regardless that a USB-C enter isn’t listed on the show’s inputs. In any other case, you get two DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1.

The previous is an older commonplace than some shows however is ample for the three,440 x 1,440@240Hz bandwidth required by this panel. In the meantime, the inclusion of HDMI 2.1 means you’ll be capable of hit the identical figures over HDMI, even when consoles can’t output at such a excessive body charge.

The decision right here is identical as most present 34-inch ultrawide panel and it’s a super steadiness of sharpness and display measurement, with a 110 pixels per inch pixel density. Nonetheless, due to the marginally odd sub-pixel association – the mix of pink, inexperienced,and blue dots that makes up every pixel – of many OLED panels, this panel isn’t as clear as present LCD gaming displays with the identical decision/display measurement. It gained’t matter for gaming and video however textual content can look fuzzy, so it’s not nice for desktop work.

We don’t but have a worth or actual launch date for the MO34WQC2 however would count on it to reach within the subsequent couple of months are retail for round $800.
