ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDN review
A 34-inch 3440×1440 360Hz RGB-stripe QD-OLED with DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 and 90W USB-C; Tom's Hardware found it one of the brightest, sharpest, and quickest OLEDs available.

Quick verdict
The PG34WCDN is ASUS's take on the 5th-generation RGB-stripe QD-OLED ultrawide. Tom's Hardware measured about 500 nits SDR at a 25% window and 1,300 nits at a 1.5% HDR window, reported record-low input lag for a 21:9 monitor, and found colors accurate out of the box. It adds full-bandwidth DisplayPort 2.1 and 90W USB-C.
Its only con in Tom's Hardware's review was the lack of speakers, but it is also one of the pricier ultrawides we cover.

What independent testing reports
| Metric | Reported result | Conditions | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| SDR brightness | About 500 nits | 25% window | Tom's Hardware, March 28, 2026 |
| HDR peak | 1,300 nits | 1.5% window | Tom's Hardware, March 28, 2026 |
These are third-party results, not our tests. Different outlets use different methods, so compare numbers only within the same source.
Motion, response, and latency
At 360Hz each frame lasts about 2.8 ms on a sample-and-hold display. Tom's Hardware described input lag as record-low among 21:9 monitors. We did not find a documented blur reduction mode.
Image quality and HDR
Tom's Hardware measured about 500 nits SDR at a 25% window and 1,300 nits at a 1.5% HDR window, with accurate color out of the box. The RGB-stripe layout and 1800R curve suit both games and documents.
Connectivity, PC, and console notes
DisplayPort 2.1 at UHBR20, two HDMI 2.1 ports, USB-C with 90W, and a USB 3.2 hub with three downstream ports.
OLED care and warranty
ASUS OLED Care features include logo and border protection, pixel refresh, and pixel orbiting. ASUS's US policy covers panel burn-in for 36 months on newer OLED models.
Warranty: Tom's Hardware lists a 3-year warranty; ASUS's US policy covers panel burn-in for 36 months on newer OLED models. Source: ASUS (ROG USA), October 7, 2024, checked September 30, 2026.
Alternatives worth comparing
MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36
34″ · 3440×1440 · 360Hz · QD-OLED (5th gen, Penta Tandem)
360Hz RGB-stripe ultrawide with 98W USB-C and KVM.
Alienware AW3426DW
34″ · 3440×1440 · 280Hz · QD-OLED (5th gen, Penta Tandem)
Same panel family at 280Hz for less, with fewer ports.
Questions buyers ask
Do I need a DisplayPort 2.1 GPU?
No. Without UHBR20 the monitor uses Display Stream Compression to reach 360Hz.
Final recommendation
Choose the PG34WCDN for a no-compromise bright, fast ultrawide with full connectivity. The MSI X36 is similar with KVM, and the Alienware is the value choice.
