Gigabyte AORUS MO34WQC2 34″ Ultrawide 240Hz OLED Gaming Monitor Review

OSD
The OSD is simple enough to operate, with a thumbstick hidden under the bottom bezel of the monitor, you can easily bring up the quick menu, or access the full setting menu.
It has all the usual stuff, and there’s Black Equilizer to make your games darker, or cheat a little and brighten your games to see enemies in dark areas… shhhh.
There’s a full suite of calibration options and a lot of built-in profiles, although largely I found them all to be lacking and opted for the Standard setting for pretty much everything. However, this menu locks out in HDR mode and you simply have “HDR” with no brightness options.
The monitor supports KVM, and you can switch this up in the menu and assign things to your display inputs.
There’s also the option to turn off the power LED, and adjust how the Type-C port behaves.
The monitor has built-in OLED care, and when the monitor is asleep it will do a pixel refresh. I took this picture when I got it, and after about 10 days of testing, it said it had performed 17 pixel refreshes, and honestly, I never saw it do anything, so it’s unlikely this will ever be something that would get in the way of your daily work.
The monitor includes pixel cleaning, static control, pixel shift, APL stabilisation, logo and corner dimming, which all help prevent screen burn. To be honest, on some monitors, I notice the pixel shift, but it never bothered me at all on the MO34WQC2. I couldn’t see a difference with corner dimming on or off, so I left that on, and the sub logo dim wasn’t aggressive either, so really, just leave it all on, it’s not a bother at all.
