Gigabyte AORUS MO34WQC2 revealed as early example of new Samsung QD-OLED panel with 1440p resolution and 240 Hz refresh rate

The AORUS MO34WQC2 has taken a step closer to being released, having been hinted at in January. While Gigabyte mentioned the monitor during CES 2024, it shared hardly any specifics. Likewise, it was unclear what the AORUS MO34WQC2 would look like.

Now, Gigabyte has answered both of those questions. However, it remains to be seen when the AORUS MO34WQC2 will be available or for how much. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the AORUS MO34WQC2 resembles the AORUS MO34WQC, another 34-inch monitor that nears release. Behind the similar appearances and names lies a different QD-OLED panel though, which TFTCentral has previously described as 'Gen 2.5'. By contrast, the MO34WQC utilises an older Gen 1 panel that lacks the newer pixel structure of Gen 2 successors that improves text legibility.

With that being said, the AORUS MO34WQC2 misses out on the Pico inkjet production process and Quantum Enhancer advancements of Gen 3 QD-OLED gaming monitors like the Alienware AW2725DF and Alienware AW3225QF. Still, the AORUS MO34WQC2 does combine its 3,440 x 1,440-pixel resolution with a 240 Hz refresh rate, as well as 250 nits SDR and 1,000 HDR peak brightnesses. On top of that, the monitor has 0.03 ms GtG response times, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, VESA ClearMR 1300 certification and the following ports:

• 1x 3.5 mm headphone jack
• 1x 3.5 mm microphone jack
• 1x Displayport 1.4
• 2x HDMI 2.1
• 2x USB 3.2 Type-A downstream ports
• 1x USB 3.2 Type-A upstream port
• 1x USB Type-C (Alternate Mode; Upstream port; Power Delivery up to 18W)
