abasalutely amazing quality

I found it quite difficult to find many reviews of this monitor so figured it would be worth taking the time to leave a user review of this product.I previously owned the Alienware AW3423DWF OLED ultrawide however experienced burn-in after just over one year of usage so wanted to find an alternative which was something a bit better than your run of the mill IPS ultrawide. I have now owned the AG344UXM for six weeks and have not experienced any of the issues highlighted in other Amazon reviews (please note to filter reviews for this model [34 inch QHD 170hz]). I can only assume there was previously a bad batch.POSITIVES- USB-C port with PD allows charging of devices through the monitor - I think it's 90w or 100w. Either way, I am able to charge all of my devices without needing separate cables/plugs. Good charging performance on S24 Ultra, HP Elitebook and Steam Deck.- Image quality and colour vibrancy comparable to OLED without the risk of OLED burn-in. Much better colours than a standard IPS monitor.- FreeSync implementation works perfectly, no issues whatsoever.- VESA mountable - note that the monitor is quite heavy and thicker than most other flat Ultrawide displays so make sure you have a decent arm which can support the monitor weight of around 10KG without the stand. I personally use an Ergotron LX which works great.- 170hz refresh rate is plenty quick enough for pretty much everything apart from eSport titles.NEGATIVES- I needed to do a lot of tweaking in the first few days/week of usage until I was happy with the picture - this is probably just personal preference however unlike this one, previous monitors I've used were fine out of the box.- When using the USB hub, I would occasionally have to power off/on the monitor for it to "kick into life". I don't know if this was a setting not set right or if simply a design flaw, but it occurred enough for me to stop using the built-in hub for this purpose. This would be a major annoyance and flaw if I was using the KVM functionality of this display.- Draws around 100 watts of continuous power on average, but this is to be expected considering the specification of the display.Overall I'm very happy with the monitor. There are a couple of negatives but it gets the basics spot-on and the negatives aren't too much of a drawback all things considered. I fully recommend this monitor if you're considering an OLED (or just a high-quality IPS display) but have concerns around burn in and longevity. I paid £600 for this which I think is a great price all things considered.EDIT: Still super happy with the monitor 6 months on - I recommended one for my partner when the price dropped under £400 a couple of months ago.

I had this monitor installed all of 2 hours before an issue developed with the panel developing a one pixel horizontal line which was present from the PC bios through to typical use.Luckily, I picked this monitor up for 380, which is less than half of the current list price and if I were to have shelled out over 800 quid for this, I'd be more than disappointed.Props to Amazon returns as they had it picked up by 11am the following morning and currently going through the refund process.The panel itself appears to be really good, although I never got to game on it or experience the 300hz due to trying to troubleshoot ( not that I should, Id expect a product for 800+ to work out of the box), and had to pack away to return. HDR is 600 not 400, which is great.Unless AOC refresh this and improve quality control, I would avoid.

I bought this monitor for 239 pounds on black Friday of 2023, which was quite a discount from the 429 original price, I was deciding between this and a BenQ EX2710q which had great speakers and was cheaper but I decided to go with the giggles and buy the Porsche one because it's Porsche and of course I got to buy the cool one. And for what it offers to stand out from the others, I am quite happy with it. It however took quite a bit to ship (1-2 months) with no estimated date which worried me as I had no idea when it would arrive. But when it finally did, it arrived in a huge box due to it's stand.Speaking of its stand, I think it speaks for itself, which stands out, all metal and is built well but takes a bit more space on the desk compared to normal stands. And the monitor isn't boring looking too, with a big Porsche Design logo on the back and the Porsche Design text on the front, RGB on the sides which isn't too bright and more for if you were looking behind it to appreciate, but I keep it off. Headphone hangers on either sides which is a really nice plus, and almost every port you need with: 4 USB ports, 2 HDMIs, 2 Display Ports and headphone jack passthrough. It has all the bells and whistles of a monitor that you would want.In the box it came with: The power brick. 3 different region based plug type power cables (EU,NA,UK) , HDMI and DisplayPort cable, 3.5mm headphone passthrough cable, and a crazy surprise of a USB drive with the manual and drivers, and also with the Porsche Design logo and neat looking which looks pretty cool!The speakers that is comes with are okay, not good for music but fine for watching content, I have it set to 50 volume, DTS sound to Game and with TruVolume to On, which sounds best to me.It also has 10 bit colors which is a nice extra, and goes up to 400 nits and HDR, while not good for HDR standards, still is decently bright and works well enough. Great colors and looks great for watching if you are okay with IPS displays (with dimmer content).However one thing which slightly annoys me is that I noticed when gaming that it does have a bit of ghosting when I am using it, I am not too knowledgeable with displays but I have turned off Overdrive (which reduces the input delay I believe) which does improve it but is still somewhat prone is ghosting, it may be because that it is not running at full framerate in some games. But I would assume that IPS displays would be not as bad compared to VA panels. I think MBRT would improve this but some settings are a bit confusing so I won't say too much on this topic. But it does seem more prone to ghosting than your average gaming monitor.But besides that little thing, the design, all the bells and whistles on this thing, the extra usb drive that is really nice, the HDR, the colors (I'm not an expert on anything so don't quote me on that) are pretty good. Highly recommended if you want a unique, special monitor that stands out from the crowd and wouldn't mind spending a little more for the design then you won't regret it, 8.5/10Edit: And now the monitor is unavailable..

Just fantastic, for the price you get amazing image quality, I use it with my ps5 pro and man, its just lovely

The best monitor i have ever owned, super bright love the hdr rating 1000? amazing picture quality - i have found that there is a whine from it very very rarely (like twice since ive owned it) i fixed that by turning the monitor on and off (thats only happened twice in 6 months?) amazing monitor

Grainy screen coating. Local dimming causes obvious artifacting and lots of unwanted fluctuations in brightness of different objects on screen.

Be careful with Amazon pricing - they pump this up to 800 periodically. Don't pay more than 600 for it
