This new monitor features 34-inch WQHD (3440 x 1440) 1800R curved RGB Tandem QD-OLED panel with 280 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time. It retains the coveted RGB Stripe Pixel arrangement that guarantees clear, supersharp text and highly accurate color reproduction. Plus, integrated BlackShield Film increases the panel’s hardness for 2.5X better scratch resistance and boosts perceived black levels by up to 40% versus previous-generation QD-OLED monitors.
With ASUS’ “Blackshield” film tech, this screen reportedly boosts black levels by 40% in well-lit environments compared to their prior QD-OLED panels. This allows gamers to enjoy deeper blacks and perceive higher contrast ratios. Additionally, this film increases the scratch resistance of ASUS’ screens by 2.5x, protecting them from accidental abrasions.
Below, we can see the impact of the RG Strix OLED XG34WCDMS’ RGB Stripe pixels in action. Note how colour fringing has been removed from the edge of the text below. This new sub-pixel arrangement enables sharper text and more accurate colour reproduction. This is great news for anyone who does text-heavy work or finds colour fringing very easy to notice.
Connectivity-wise, this screen supports DisplayPort 1.4 (with DSC), HDMI 2.1, and USB Type-C with 15W power delivery. Additionally, the screen supports 99% of the DCI-P3 colour space with a delta E of less than 2. Furthermore, it has ASUS’ NEO proximity sensor, which protects your monitor from burn-in by transitioning your screen to a black image when it doesn’t detect a user. Other features like pixel cleaning, screen move, and boundary detection also help reduce the risk of burn-in.
The XG34WCDMS is a visual powerhouse, it is VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black compliant, featuring a 99% DCI-P3 color gamut, true 10-bit color depth, and a Delta E<2 color difference for astonishing HDR performance—making it just as suited for photo and video editing as it is for gaming The built-in ASUS OLED Care Pro suite utilizes a Neo Proximity Sensor to precisely detect when a user steps away, automatically switching to a black screen to mitigate burn-in risk. Everyday usability is further enhanced by the DisplayWidget Center, offering automatic firmware updates and allowing users to effortlessly export, import, or even copy pro-streamers’ display configurations. Connectivity is equally robust, with the XG34WCDMS featuring DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, HDMI 2.1, and a USB-C port with 15-watt Power Delivery.
