2024 appears to be the year that all the major PC brands have chosen to bombard the market with their ultrawide, curved gaming monitors, and that includes brands like ASUS. To that end, and right after I was done with its PG49WCD, I now have the smaller and, dare I say it, more enjoyable ROG Swift PG34WCD on my desk. x 1,440 pixels to match. Adding to that, it has a variable refresh rate of up to 240Hz, along with a 0.
The PG34WCDM is also a KVM monitor, supported by the ROG Smart KVM, allowing you to control two devices at the same time, without the need for a second pair of keyboard and mouse. For connectivity, the monitor comes with a DisplayPort 1.4 port, HDMI 2.1, a USB-C that supports 90W PD charging, and a USB-A port.At 34-inches, you don't feel the curvature of the PG34WCDM psychologically wrapping around your head as much as the 49-inch monster I reviewed recently, also made by ASUS.
Because the PG34WCDM is HDR-capable as well, the saturation and colour spectrum tend to get blown up or washed out by several notches. Personally, I turn it off because I don't like my whites and every other colour on the screen looking so washed out. But again, personal choice. The good news, in my eyes at least, is that this issue isn't exclusive to the PG34WCDM. It's an issue with virtually all wide OLED displays, so you're going to need to take note of this trade-off, if you're in the market for an ultrawide gaming monitor.Should I Buy It?
