Well as title really initially i was thinking of the Gigabyte M34WQ but after a couple of reviews mentioned a 34" flat panel can be to wide to see the edges clearly got me looking at curved which then i had my eyes on a Alienware AW3423DWF OLED at £780 but reading a topic earlier i was thrown a curveball of the AOC Agon 34" AG346UCD thats a more reasonable £550. Interested in your thoughts or anyone that owns either monitor.

I say buy whichever 34 inch ultrawide oled you can get the best deal on. All use the same panel anyway, so performance is pretty similar on all.
I have the AOC and it is an excellent monitor. No regrets on my purchase.

I have the Philips Evnia 34" OLED and it's spot on tbh, paid around £500 for it which is a cracking price.
I believe the AOC and most other OLED monitors in that price range pretty much use the same panel, if looking for an OLED right now I'd argue 34" ultrawides are easily where the best deals are.
Are there better monitors? Absolutely, but not to the point they're worth spending 50% more on in my opinion.

I'd have bought the Phillips, but it was out of stock everywhere when I decided to pull the trigger. So ended up with the AOC instead.
£500 for the Phillips is a great deal.
I think quite a few people caught onto the prices tbh, if able to buy now I'd suggest anyone to do so on the AoC as I suspect growing demand is going to result in prices rising in the near future.
The Evnia is back in (limited) stock last I checked, but for £650 + for the black, and £580 + for the white.

Thanks ill compare the prices and go with the best deal, it did appear they all used the same panel but was unsure i think theres a Gigabyte version also. Makes the Alienware one seem a bit expensive when compared to the others if they all have a 3 year warranty. If going for the Evnia ill have to stump up the extra for the black version.
If the AOC is £550 I'd just go for that if a black frame is a necessity.
There's honestly not much difference between them, the backlighting is nice on the Evnia but it's not worth £100-150 over the AOC.
