The 34-inch 21:9 genre has long been gamers’ favorite for immersive play and a VR-like experience. But 27-inch 16:9 screens have dominated in the speed category. Bringing these two elements together was inevitable, and Asus has done it here with its ROG Swift PG34WCDN. Like all ROG displays, it makes existing premium technologies even better with evolutionary upgrades.
The two main points in the PG34WCDN’s favor are its RGB Stripe panel and 360 Hz refresh rate. OLEDs were sharp already, but this one is a bit sharper. It’s especially useful for productivity when small fonts and symbols are rendered more clearly. The high refresh rate is a welcome upgrade to the 21:9 category, which previously seemed stuck at 240 Hz. I expect to see similarly speedy screens from other companies soon. The PG34WCDN sits among the quickest monitors I’ve ever tested, thanks to its record-low input lag and super-fast panel response.
All this goodness doesn’t come at a budget price, but that’s not what ROG Swift products are about. The PG34WCDN delivers the latest technologies before anyone else in a fully engineered, sorted display. If you want the very best OLED monitor currently available in a 34-inch 21:9 WQHD format, definitely check it out.
