I have the monitor in use with a 27".
In my opinion, side by side is not possible because the AOC is too wide.
That's why I got the following mount: NewStar FPMA-D550DVBLACK.
My 27" is above my AOC and that works well, but of course it's a matter of taste.
I have been waiting for this monitor since 19 March and the delivery date has been extended several times. I.e. it is not even in stock at the supplier.
The monitor is generally compatible with an Apple Mac Studio as it has DisplayPort and HDMI, which are suitable for connection to Macs. However, there is no specific information about possible problems or limitations when using it with a Mac Studio. You can connect the monitor to a Mac without any problems, but it might be helpful to adjust the display settings to get the best performance.
The height of the screen is approximately 33.4 cm (333.72 mm) without the stand. The screen diagonal measures 86.36 cm (34 inches). Height adjustment of up to 13 cm (130 mm) is also possible.
The monitor is 367.5 mm high, measured from the base to the top edge of the screen. The exact height may vary depending on the setting of the height adjustment mechanism, which offers an adjustability of 130 mm.
Yes, you can connect a graphics card with DisplayPort 2.1 to this monitor, which uses DisplayPort 1.4. However, the image quality will not be improved by a DP 2.1 cable compared with a 1.4 cable, because the limitation comes from the monitor port itself, which only supports DisplayPort 1.4. The DP 2.1 cable will be compatible, but it will not be able to exploit the advanced features of DisplayPort 2.1 with this display.
To achieve the full 180Hz refresh rate with a laptop, you need to ensure that your laptop's graphics card supports this high refresh rate and that you are using a compatible connection method. The AOC CU34G2XP monitor supports 180Hz via DisplayPort, so using a DisplayPort connection is recommended. If your laptop only has HDMI ports, it may not reach the full 180Hz, as HDMI typically supports up to 100Hz or 144Hz for this monitor, depending on the specific HDMI version and laptop capabilities.
If your laptop supports DisplayPort output via USB-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode, you might need an adapter to connect to the monitor's DisplayPort. However, not all USB-C ports support this feature, so check your laptop's specifications first.
There are no major problems or specific incompatibilities between the AOC CU34G2XP/BK display and NVIDIA graphics cards, including the RTX 4070 Super.
Here are some key points to consider:
- The display supports DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 connections, which are compatible with most modern graphics cards, including the NVIDIA GeForce RTX series.
- The display uses Adaptive-Sync technology, which is compatible with AMD FreeSync, but does not specifically support NVIDIA G-Sync. However, as of 2019, NVIDIA has opened up G-Sync compatibility with some FreeSync monitors, so it could work with some setups, but this is not guaranteed.
- For optimal use, make sure your graphics card is powerful enough to handle the display's UWQHD (3440x1440) resolution and 180Hz refresh rate.
To sum up, your RTX 4070 Super should work without any major problems with this display, but you may need to adjust some settings to optimise performance.
