AOC, through its gaming brand AGON, has teamed up with Porsche Design to launch the PD34, a 34-inch curved monitor aimed at esports enthusiasts and gamers looking for premium performance and design. This new co-branded monitor boasts advanced display technology and a sleek aesthetic, inspired by Porsche’s iconic 911 series.
This latest release follows the successful launch of the Porsche Design AOC AGON PD27 in November 2020, which marked the beginning of the partnership between AOC and Porsche Design in creating high-performance gaming monitors with sleek, automotive-inspired aesthetics.
High-End Display for Gamers
At the core of the PD34 is a 34-inch QD-OLED panel with an 1800R curvature, offering gamers a more immersive experience. The monitor supports an impressive 3440×1440 resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth visuals even in fast-paced action scenes. The monitor’s 0.03ms gray-to-gray (GtG) response time ensures ultra-fast transitions between frames, reducing motion blur and ghosting for a better gaming experience.
With peak brightness reaching up to 1000 nits and a static contrast ratio of 1.5 million:1, the PD34 delivers exceptional brightness and detail, especially in dark scenes. Its VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 and ClearMR 13000 certifications further enhance the quality of the display, ensuring deep blacks and vivid colors.
Impressive Color Accuracy
When it comes to color reproduction, the PD34 excels with a wide color gamut. It covers 139% of the sRGB spectrum, 99.3% DCI-P3, and 97.8% Adobe RGB, ensuring vibrant and true-to-life colors. The monitor also boasts a color accuracy of ΔE<2 under the sRGB standard, which makes it suitable not only for gaming but also for professional content creation.
Eye-Friendly Features
To protect users’ eyes during long gaming sessions, the monitor includes anti-reflection, low blue light, and flicker-free technology, reducing strain and offering a more comfortable viewing experience.
Built-in Speakers and Connectivity Options
The PD34 comes with dual 8W DTS-certified speakers, providing decent sound quality for those who prefer built-in audio. However, the real highlight is its extensive connectivity options. The monitor includes:
- 2 HDMI 2.1 ports
- 1 DisplayPort 1.4
- 1 USB Type-C upstream port with 65W power delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode
- 1 USB Type-B port
- 3 USB 5Gbps ports
Additionally, the PD34 supports the KVM switch function, allowing users to control multiple devices using a single set of peripherals, which is a big plus for those who multitask across different systems.
Porsche-Inspired Design
The design of the PD34 is a nod to Porsche’s timeless style. The PD34 builds on the legacy of the Porsche Design AOC AGON PD27, which debuted in November 2020, continuing the trend of delivering high-performance gaming monitors with a luxury design touch. The back of the monitor is inspired by the radiator grille of the Porsche 911, while the sandblasted cast aluminum stand mimics the steering wheel and spokes of the 911. For added flair, the monitor comes with RGB lighting that offers 15 customizable modes, allowing users to match their setup with the rest of their gaming gear.
Pricing and Availability
The Porsche Design AOC AGON PRO PD34 is now available in the UK for £999. With its premium features and Porsche-inspired design, it’s positioned as a top-tier option for serious gamers and professionals looking for style and performance in one package.
This collaboration between AOC’s AGON and Porsche Design showcases how form and function can come together to create a product that’s both powerful and visually striking.
