Welcome everyone I'm Ricky from tech talk and in today's new video we're
going to be unboxing and taking our first, look at a new monitor from
AOC this is AOC's cu34g2x that's the the model number for reference
it is a curved gaming monitor that comes from their g line
which is also a second-generation model as you can see
on the left hand corner moving your focus over to the right hand side at the
bottom we've got a couple of key areas which is
adaptive sync technology 144 hertz picture in picture or picture
by picture great for viewing multiple different
inputs also it offers 1500 r which is the radius of the curve of
your display 21x9 aspect ratio one millisecond
response time which is measured in mprt which is a more proven variance
it also offers hdmi and displayport connectability
so next step we're gonna get it unboxed and see which accessories come with our
display one thing i like with aoc monitors they
always give you an unboxing experience here on the top
just showing you how to take everything out of the box safely so you
actually protect yourself and protect the monitor really nice
simple clear instructions moving over to the
left hand side also it shows you how to add the column
and stand also about the adjustability which we'll
talk about and then how to connect up to your desktop pc so again
nice clear simple instructions so in the box we received a cd which is going to
have your manual and your driver on them a little bit of
information there just giving you further details we've got a uk
three pin plug we also have a displayport to displayport for
connection we also have a hdmi again for connecting
up another peripheral if you want to then also we have i want to say this is
a mic line because it's pink normally it refers to
a mic but 3.5 mil jack to a 3.5 mil jack there
so that's what we got inside also you do get a column and stand as well
as just mentioned here is the stand so quite a sharp design there quite pointed
so obviously front section back section and
then you have your column here with a plate
so again you can see the height adjustments there's also
swivel and tilt with this monitor so what we need to do is
actually put this in here so what you'll do is line up
simply put in at the bottom you're going to see a locking nut so this might be
already in here if it's not it's going to be
within your packaging as well so just make sure
you look out for that so just tighten this up you also have a
flat head there you could actually screw it in if you so wanted to
so there's our column and stand ready to go with our display and that's
what we're going to get out next before we connect the column and stand i
thought i'd just show you your display and the connectability here so we've got
some usb ports so we've got four you've got fast charge option there you
should also receive this cable so it have this connection that will go into a
usba connection and that connect up your usb to your
actual device obviously i don't have that one because
mine's a pressure unit so i'll see if i can dig one
out also along here you can find the buttons as well for controlling your
monitor preferred joystick here in the middle
but let's have a look at the connections we've also got along here
so having a look at our connectability so we've got hdmi one hdmi 2
display port one display port two and then a headphone jack here so that's
where you can connect in your headphones if you so want to
and then over this side we just have the power connection but i really like this
fiery red it has the sharp angles all the way around so what we're going to do
now is connect in the column and stand so i've just
pushed up the camera a little bit here so you can see
so with the column and stand just bring this in again you'll notice two teeth
up here at the top these need to go in first and then the other two teeth will
automatically lock in so put them two teeth in first
it does offer a vest amount of connection as well which is 100 by 100
you had a very strong click there that's thanks to a button that's built into
that square panel at the back so push that up and it releases but
let's put it in again so you can use this with a mount if you
want to but i'm going to use the column and stand provided
so that's now the column and stand connected which is great i like to see
here the rubberized feet so it isn't going to damage my desk or
the area where it's going to be standing so what we'll do is set this up and i'll
be back shortly welcome back our monitor is all set up
and ready to go and it looks absolutely stunning actually it's immersion it's
really good it really pulls you in you've got really dark colors there to
the far left the blacks through look really pinpoint black and as you can see
a very bright and vibrant color there in the middle so i'm really looking forward
to using this currently connected to my macbook pro
which is the 16-inch version for 2019 and that's running through a hdmi like i
said i keep trying to make my gaming machine or try
and get a gaming machine to really push it to its level and that's what i want
to do so i can do a bit of gaming through this
macbook actually it's quite powerful so i can try and sort of get windows on
there and have a look at gaming and i will
explore about gaming but now we're set up let's just go through a couple of the
key specs just before we finish off then of course in about three weeks time
i'll bring you my review after using it on a daily basis
then really putting it through its limits on its best features
and the best specs so it is a 34 inch wqhd
resolution so it's a wide quad hd resolution which is really nice to see
its actual resolution is 3440 by 1440 so it is quad hd resolution
it's a v8 display which means vertical alignment
and it is more suited towards gaming which means your colors will come alive
and it's very responsive and very fast as i mentioned it does
have a bit of ergonomic to the base so it offers a swivel a tilt
and a height adjustment and i go through them a lot more
during the review but it's nice that you can actually rotate or move your monitor
to wherever you need it to be it also comes with a vest amount so you
can connect a vest amount into this if you want to and you can
lose the stand i do really like stand though
it's got this bright sort of red at the bottom which i showed
then also at the back as well and striking red bright
stripes there from aoc looks really nice i've tried to add a little bit of red
light in the background but the colors really do pop and come alive and the 34
inches of one of the best displays for me it's a great size
it's quite compact actually it's sitting on the desk quite well
but i do have a large desk anyway so what we're going to do something a
little bit different i'm going to go over to aoc's websites and we're going
to go through the key details on their website
and just highlight what they are to you but also
show you the different colors and the levels that you're going to get from
this display and of course the link to aoc to go and
get further information about this monitor
will be in the description i've got my mouse here so
let me find my pointer so we're just going to scrub along here
and this is actually aoc's website about this monitor
so as you can see here they've got like a little blur which slams it up really
good a 34 inch curved gaming monitor with 144 hertz refresh rate one
millisecond response time and 21 by nine aspect ratio display
and it is the model that we mentioned it has the resolution as well as i
discussed there but all of this information will be put
in the description and you can go and check it out for yourself
but i thought we'd just come across here and have a little look as well
so freezing technology it offers the freesync technology amd freesync
technology which is really good and that helps with
gaming performance it offers ultra wide so let me just tap
on here so we've got the ultra wide and as i mentioned is 1500 r so the r stands
for radius and it's 1500 is the measurement around
the curvature 144 hertz refresh rates very fast
one millisecond response time which is the mprt version and as i mentioned
this is a more professional measurement of
response times it's really good to see that there so it means your games are
going to be quick fluid and smooth they've won some awards
and then down here at the bottom we've got some
pricing so there's different pricing here and it varies anywhere from the
prices you see on screen all the way up to about 530 pounds
depending so i'll put some of these links in the
description for you so to finish off i want to bring you over to my channel
