Gigabyte AORUS MO34WQC2 34″ Ultrawide 240Hz OLED Gaming Monitor Review

There’s a fair bit of competition in the OLED gaming monitor market these days, but one that really grabbed my attention is the AORUS MO34WQC2. If you’re running a flagship graphics card, you’ll only get the best from it with a high resolution or high refresh rate display, and the AORUS MO34WQC2 hits a sweet spot with both. Boasting a stunning 34-inch QD-OLED curved display sourced from Samsung, it features an impressive 3440×1440 WQHD resolution and an ultrafast 240Hz refresh rate. However, even with an RTX 4090 in your rig, maxing out that refresh rate at that resolution is a big ask in the latest AAA games, but with features like FreeSync, you’re going to be able to enjoy every frame you can throw at it, that’s for sure.

Obviously, being OLED it has a couple of key benefits, such as delivering vibrant colours and perfect blacks thanks to its impressive 1.5M:1 contrast ratio, and HDR True Black 400 support. There’s an extremely fast response time, a key benefit of OLED panels. Plus, content creators will also appreciate the wide DCI-P3 99% colour gamut and VESA ClearMR 10000 certification for smooth, blur-free visuals.

Beyond its impressive display, the MO34WQC2 comes packed with features. AMD FreeSync Premium ensures tear-free gaming, while GIGABYTE’s Tactical Switch and Game Assist tools offer in-game advantages like counters and on-screen crosshairs. Black Equalizer 2.0 helps reveal hidden enemies in shadows, and the built-in KVM switch simplifies multi-device setups.
