Huge banks of monitors in Eyefinity are no stranger to the enthusiast end of the PC market, but the latest monitor from AOC still manages to stand out from the crowd despite the fact that it is just a single screen. The new U3477PQU is an absolute monster of a display, clocking in a 34″ wide and running a WQHD panel that is sure to make cinema enthusiasts giddy with delight.
The display can churn out 1.07 billion colours, something that should reflect well from the 4.95 million pixels that its UltraWide Panoramic 21:9 cinema display offers. With a resolution of 3440 x 1440 and a 60Hz refresh rate. this screen is going to offer some serious resolution real estate to improve productivity, movie watching gaming and more. You can even split the display to game on one side and watch a movie or work on the other.
Other bonuses come in the form of two 3w speakers, a slim bezel design, high-grade IPS panel with up to 178 degree of both vertical and horizontal viewing angle, a luminosity of 320 cd/m2, 5ms response time, USB 3.0 ports, DisplayPort, HDML and MHL functionality. The whole thing comes backed up by a 3 year warranty and will set you back £499 (MSRP) incl. VAT, that’s a lot of money, but given the feature set on offer I think it’s incredible value for money.

They really need to stop putting speakers on high end monitors….
Who’s going to buy this monitor?
Gamers – Will have a headset or a decent surround sound setup
Graphic Designers – highest chance ot use inbuilt, but I’d suspect they would atleast use a 2:1 or 2:0 setup through the 3.5mm
Animators (can’t think of a better name) – Will have profesional sound systems.
It does look really nice.
Smartphone manufacturers should use a screen this size in a new style of phones called “phonitors”. Heavens knows they’ll find a steady stream of misty eyed morons going gaga over it. 😀 Make it and the fools will buy it.
Then again maybe Rockstar will hear of my idea and use it in a radio commercial in the next GTA game…
Nice monitor, but I already got the 34″, 21:9, 1440p LG monitor. And it was worth it, perfect single monitor alternative to the multi-monitor setups.
