Asus has just announced a new curved ultrawide ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM that offers a unique combination of a high refresh rate, ultra-low response time, and very high luminance. The combination should make this a hot product to watch among the best ultrawide gaming monitors and best curved gaming monitors.

The ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM is a 34-inch curved ultrawide monitor offering a 3440x1440 resolution and an 800R curvature. It also offers a variable refresh rate of up to 240 Hz with Nvidia's G-Sync technology and a 0.03 ms response time — which is extremely low, even for OLED panels. Furthermore, the monitor boasts a peak brightness of 1300 nits (albeit on only 3% of the screen), which is higher than most LCDs on the market and unique for a gaming OLED monitor.

An interesting peculiarity of the display is that it comes equipped with a special custom heatsink to keep the operating temperatures of the panel lower and reduce the risk of burn-in.

For those seeking versatile connectivity, the ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM is equipped with a wide array of ports, including DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and a USB Type-C port, which not only serves as an additional display input but also delivers up to 90W to the host supporting USB Power Delivery. This diverse range of ports makes it possible to connect the monitor to desktop PCs, laptops, gaming consoles, smartphones, and other compatible devices.

To make it easier to use multiple devices connected to a single display, it fully supports picture-in-picture (PIP) or picture-by-picture (PBP) modes. To make things more comfortable, the ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM comes with Smart KVM that now only allows users to control multiple devices using a single set of peripherals but also allows swift file transfers between the two connected devices using USB 3.2 connectivity — eliminating the need for extra hardware or specialized software. 

For now, Asus has not disclosed the price or availability of the ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM. But given the unique capabilities of the display, we expect it to be priced accordingly.

    Finally! This is the monitor I've been waiting to upgrade. Now just one step away from my end game.. a curved dual 40"/4K monitor, aka a 72" 7680x2160 OLED, and make it at 240hz too! 😂 Samsung is launching a 57" like that so I have hopes the big brother will show up someday

    Anyways hope this 34" from Asus hits the $800 mark by next year.. not that I think any monitor should cost more than $500 but I could say the same about GPUs and look where we are today....

    Now this baby + 7900 XTX and by 2025 the dual 4K and a 5090. End gamesss ppl!

    it depends on where you live actually ... and which company is providing the service ... sadly it is not like before , the service can differ alot from place to place nowadays because most are giving service contracts to smaller companies. This can happen to "any" brand today outside direct sale only companies like Dell or Apple

    Never had a single problem with the over 20 Asus products I’ve owned. You sure you know what you are doing? Human error is not covered on warranty

    Funny, Asus products are so reliable that I’ve never had to interact with Asus customer service. Are you sure you know what you are doing? Human error is not covered in warranty

    not human errors , they present you with millions of reasons so they call their defect a "human error" ...
    I had a laptop once with faulty screen , they refused to replace it just because one of the rubbers that protects the screen from scratches was missing , while the screen itself was defect with dead pixels and a lot of bleeding. simply because a small rubber was missing they used it as an excuse.

    How long after you received the laptop did you take to call customer service?
