Connectivity

In terms of video inputs, the Viotek GNV34DBE2 is equipped with a pair of DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 ports. Next to them is a 3.5-millimeter audio output, which you can use to route the sound to your headphones.

Just in case you're interested in the time it takes the monitor to switch from one input to the other, as well as to display a picture after you press the power button on your PC case, measurements of those parameters are below.

Power Consumption

The power supply unit is integrated, so there's no external power brick we need to deal with. A simple IEC power cable will be enough to power the Viotek GNV34DBE2.

I've used the Brennenstuhl PM 231 E power meter to determine the power consumption of the monitor at various brightness levels, as well as in Power Saving mode, which it enters as soon as the PC goes to sleep. My power consumption measurements are summed up in the chart below. They've been made after resetting the monitor to factory defaults.



The power consumption is well within expectations for a 34" ultrawide monitor. What this graph also shows us is that the brightness curve has a relatively linear progression as we go from 0 to 100%, which oftentimes isn't the case with inexpensive monitors. Every 25% of brightness within the OSD roughly corresponds to 70–80 cd/m² of actual added brightness.
