AGON by AOC - one of the world's leading gaming monitor and IT accessories brands - proudly announces the launch of the AGON PRO AG346UCD, a cutting-edge 34-inch (86.4 cm) curved gaming monitor. Adding to its impressive W-OLED and QD-OLED range under its top-tier AGON PRO line-up for gaming enthusiasts, this new model features a QD-OLED panel, 175 Hz refresh rate, and UWQHD (3440x1440) resolution. The AG346UCD sets a new standard for immersive gaming experiences, in particular with wide, expansive RPG or story-driven games, as well as sim racing, flight simulators, and action-packed titles.

QD-OLED excellence meets high-performance gaming
The AGON PRO AG346UCD boasts a 34-inch (86.4 cm) QD-OLED panel with a gentle 1800R curvature, offering an ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio and a sharp 3440x1440 UWQHD resolution. Effectively a wider, panoramic version of a 27-inch display with the same height, the AG346UCD fills users' peripheral vision. This combination provides an expansive field of view, perfect for racing simulations, flight simulators, and immersive action games. It's also great for games played from the first person perspective such as shooters and RPGs, as the 21:9 aspect ratio allows for a wider field of view. The monitor's smooth 175 Hz refresh rate and incredibly fast response times of up to 0.03 ms GtG ensure fluid gameplay and near-instantaneous pixel transitions, giving gamers a responsive experience in fast-paced scenarios.



With its DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification and 10-bit color depth displaying 1.07 billion colors, the AG346UCD delivers exceptional visual fidelity. The monitor's QD-OLED technology provides unparalleled contrast ratios, perfect blacks, and vibrant colors, making it an excellent choice for gaming enthusiasts, creative professionals and streamers alike. Content creators, video editors, and graphic designers will benefit from the monitor's wide color gamut, offering impressive sRGB and cinema-grade DCI-P3 coverage. The large gamut coverage together with accurate color representation is crucial for photo editing, color grading, and digital art creation. For streamers, this translates to creating vibrant live content, with games and media displayed in full visual splendor and accuracy they need to deliver. Whether creating professional content, streaming, or gaming, users can rely on the AG346UCD to showcase visuals as intended.

To ensure user confidence in this cutting-edge technology, the AG346UCD comes with a 3-year warranty that covers OLED burn-in2. This warranty, combined with built-in OLED care features, demonstrates AGON by AOC's commitment to product longevity and customer satisfaction.

"The AGON PRO AG346UCD represents a significant leap forward in immersive ultrawide displays," says Cesar Acosta, Gaming Product Manager at AGON by AOC. "By combining a QD-OLED panel with a high refresh rate of 175 Hz and our signature gaming features, we're offering simulation enthusiasts, FPS and action/adventure game lovers an unparalleled visual experience - vivid and accurate colors, super-fast response times and an exceptional contrast. It's also great for streamers with high color accuracy. Truly it's one monitor for everything."

Tailored for immersive gaming experiences
The AG346UCD comes equipped with a range of features designed to enhance gameplay across various genres. Compliance with VESA Adaptive-Sync technology and support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro eliminates screen tearing and stuttering even with HDR enabled, while the monitor's low input lag ensures immediate responsiveness. Gamers can fine-tune their experience using AOC's G-Menu software, which provides easy access to gaming-centric features such as Game Colour (saturation adjustment), Shadow Control (black level adjustment), and Dial Point, a customizable crosshair overlay.

The monitor's ergonomic stand offers 130 mm of height adjustment, tilt, and swivel options to ensure comfort during extended gaming sessions. Connectivity options include 2x HDMI 2.0 ports, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB hub with 3 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports for convenient peripheral connections. Two integrated 8 W speakers provide robust audio output for a complete multimedia experience.
