AOC has revealed two new additions to their monitor lineup, which seemingly tick most - if not all - of the right boxes. The only thing that differs in both the CU34G2 and CU34G2X is their maximum refresh rates: the CU34G2 can go up to 100 Hz, while the CU34G2X can refresh at up to 144 Hz. The rest of the specs are virtually the same: a 34" VA panel with 4K (3440 x 1440 resolution), 21:9 aspect ratio, 1 ms response times, 300 nits maximum brightness, 1500R curvature, and support for FreeSync.

In terms of color space, the CU34G2 wins out, covering 124% of the sRGB space and 92% of AdobeRGB, while the CU34G2X tightens the color space a smidge with 119% sRGB and 88% of AdobeRGB. I/O wise, both feature 1x DisplayPort 1.2 and 2x HDMI (only the CU34G2 uses HDMI 2.0, though). Both monitors also offer a quad USB 3.0 Hub and 1x Headphone out. The monitors will launch come January 2020 at attractive price points: $450 for the 100 Hz CU34G2 and $550 for the 144 Hz CU34G2X,
 
The CU34G2X is now listed in Amazon for $450.
 
It's really good to see these kind of monitors come down in price. The 3 year zero dead pixel warranty is definitely a big plus in my opinion.

    I have to say I was really in doubt when I got my AOC panel , as a backup, for when my Samsung went bad for the 2nd time...  BUT... I am still impressed by AOC quality on my monitor, so much so, I kept it as primary & gave the Samsung to my son .

    Not sold on curved displays, but I like everything else about this.
     
    I am very intrigued they are offering an extra 44hz for $100 more. I wonder if that is due to panel capability, a special panel upgrade, or if they use the same panel and the CU34G2 could be flashed to run at 144 too... 


    Have water, will cool.

    From the spec page it appears to have built in speakers, which would be great for my kid:

    So looking at the pix, I can't see them.  Do we know if it does?

    AOC made the 1080p panel for my Lenovo W520 from 2011, and it's still working well.
