Customer Ratings & Reviews

Clear picture and graphics loving it so far hoping it stays that way

Excellent quality and easy set-up. Going widescreen is something I can't go back on now, all the extra space in a singular model has a lot of benefits for productivity software.

This item has exactly what I needed to work. As a music producer, image clarity is very important to me.

As described. Used for additional office monitor instead of gaming purposes. Nice color.

Wonderful monitor, I use for video/photo editing/production. Accurate colors, very solid build, solid stand, adjustable height/tilt,

Easy to use, connect and great quality in the display.

Great monitor. Good picture quality. Just to big for desk. Had to get a smaller one.

My son love it, very confortable to play or to work

It’s great for gaming and if you work from home. When I play everything is clear.

its a nice monitor only gripe is that the base gets in the way but if you mounted it on a monitor arm then youll be fine but that just me

Great monitor for pc gaming, I couldn’t get to run 120fps on ps5 tho

Price/Performance Monitor, really liked it! Good for gaming!

This was even better than I expected! It gives gamers a whole new experience with it wrapping around vs a flat screen.

My kid likes it and the screen colors look great..

Bought in tandum with the OMEN desktop, Was a little pricey, but the visuals are amazing.

My Grand Daughter picked this for her school school monitor. She call to tell us it is the best gift for my class and easy on my eyes.

good quality product. built in speakers. great value for the price

Screen is good, but the speakers is of bad quality, unfortunately.

HP’s Omen 34c 34” curved monitor checks off a lot of boxes and most gamers of any stripe would be pretty happy with it. The design looks great and the ergonomics (tilt and height adjustments) are similarly well-thought out. It looks great as a display as well, and there are only a few things that I can quibble with. The monitor packaging is very well done in that it easily allows you to attach the base without removing the monitor from the box. I found that a thoughtful touch, and it allowed the monitor to be up and running in very short order. Packaged alongside the monitor and power cord was a DisplayPort cable, manuals, and the monitor’s calibration report detailing its factory color calibration. The monitor itself is a 34” 3440x1440 WQHD VA panel. VA panels are generally characterized by their excellent contrast ratios, which can allow HDR to pop and helps the relatively modest brightness levels (HDR 400 rated) which don’t match what you might find on something like a higher end TV, which can reach eye-searing brightness levels several times that level. Still, the combination of good contrast, wide color gamut (95% P3 colorspace), and decent brightness allow for a relatively satisfying HDR experience. HDR gaming is a mixed bag on PC, but I was able to tell a difference in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, with the sun in the background looking brighter and punchier in the HDR presentation. The monitor’s 21:9 aspect ratio and 1500R curve (which means the arc, if completed, would be a circle with a radius of 1.5 meters) provide a wonderful sense of immersion. I didn’t notice any odd reflections coming from the curved space. The WQHD resolution strikes a good balance between resolution sharpness and allowing for higher frame rates out of graphics cards that aren’t at the bleeding edge. This is especially true for people who play online competitive games and who often turn down their graphics settings to enable high frame rates, which this monitor is capable of supplying with its 180Hz maximum refresh rate. I had a little trouble with my laptop that had a 5070 Ti reaching that level via HDMI: it was stuck at 100Hz, and I’m not sure if that’s a limitation of the HDMI ports or if it was an issue with my cable which is otherwise 4K/120Hz capable. Using a desktop with an RTX 4060 Ti and DisplayPort had no problems at 180Hz. Despite this monitor being a FreeSync Premium monitor, both Nvidia cards engaged variable refresh rate, with Windows reporting a range of 50-180Hz. Connectivity consists of 2 HDMI ports and 1 DisplayPort along with a 3.5mm audio jack. There are no USB ports to serve as a hub, which would be nice but isn’t necessary. There are included stereo speakers but like most flat panel displays with speakers, one must temper expectations. The sound is certainly usable, but I suspect most gamers will prefer a more immersive solution to match the visual experience. Gaming was really nice and predictably smooth with such a high refresh rate. The 4060 Ti isn’t a powerhouse, but high settings and DLSS easily allow for 100+ FPS in a variety of games at this resolution. The aforementioned Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was my favorite game on this monitor, as the 21:9 aspect ratio was amazing with those vast landscapes, and the sense of immersion was qualitatively superior. Overall, this is a fine monitor. The curved ultra wide display is very immersive, and the high refresh rate allows for smooth gaming. This allows for a broad appeal to both single-player aficionados and those who like fast paced competitive online games. While the HDR brightness could be better, the fact that it is factor calibrated for color accuracy is a very nice feature which lends versatility beyond gaming. And HDR gaming is still good, if not the best for highlights. Recommended.

As a student who is constantly working with documents side-by-side, this 21:9 ultrawide has been an absolute game-changer. This is my first one, and I can confidently say it's a more efficient way to work than any dual or triple monitor setup I've used. I move the mouse far less, and everything feels more cohesive, making it easier to get more done. I'm never going back to a standard dual monitor setup for productivity. For work, the visual experience is top-notch. The 3440x1440 resolution makes text incredibly crisp, and the 99% sRGB coverage means colors are accurate and consistent. For gaming, however, it's more of a mixed bag. The VA panel provides good contrast, but since it's edge-lit, the blacks aren't perfect and there's some noticeable backlight bleed. The biggest head-scratcher is the inclusion of HDMI 2.0 ports, which holds back the monitor's full performance. Overall, this monitor hits an excellent sweet spot. I’m giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. As it's a fantastic productivity machine that you can also game on without breaking the bank. Just be aware that if gaming is your absolute top priority, a dedicated non-ultrawide OLED would be superior. But it has a lot of “meh” qualities to it that a 5-star monitor wouldn’t have. Last, it's held back by a baffling port selection and some of the typical drawbacks of a VA panel. That said, my rating is based on its MSRP of around $550. If you can find this monitor on sale for under $400, I’d fully recommend it. As it provides excellent bang for your buck. Pros: • Screen Real Estate: The 3440x1440 resolution and 21:9 aspect ratio make productivity a dream. I'm never going back. • Size & Immersion: At 34 inches, it's the perfect size. It's big enough for easy multitasking without being so wide that you constantly have to turn your head. The gentle curve really helps with immersion and readability. • Smoothness: The 180Hz refresh rate makes simply navigating your computer feel exceedingly smooth (just be sure to use DisplayPort). • Great Controls: The navigation joystick on the back is responsive and easy to find. The on-screen menu is feature-rich and clearly explains what each setting does. • Thoughtful Details: It has a dedicated power button and the ability to turn off the power LED. It also turns on quickly. • Adaptive Sync: FreeSync Premium is a welcome addition for smoother gaming on AMD (and compatible NVIDIA) cards. • Good Stand: Comes with a sturdy, fully adjustable stand right out of the box. Meh: • VA Panel Performance: For a VA panel, the response time is decent, but I do notice some minor motion smearing in fast-paced scenes. Found Level 3 being the best which is not what default is set too. • Contrast & Backlight: Contrast is acceptable, but being an edge-lit panel results in significant backlight bleed and prevents truly deep blacks. • Brightness & HDR: At 400 nits, it's bright enough for most environments but doesn't get bright enough for impactful HDR. The HDR performance is nothing special. • Color Gamut: 99% sRGB is good, but for a brand new monitor in 2025 at this price, I would have preferred a wider color gamut (like 100% DCI-P3 or NTSC) for richer profiles. • Built-in Speakers: They exist. They sound OK and get plenty loud where you don’t NEED headphones or dedicated speakers. But will probably want them. Cons: • Baffling Port Choice: It comes with two HDMI 2.0 ports, which max out at 100Hz at this resolution. This makes no sense. The only way to get the full 180Hz is by using the single DisplayPort 1.4 connection. • Viewing Angles: As expected from a VA panel, the picture changes dramatically when viewed from off-axis. • VESA Mounting: While it is VESA mountable, the port is deeply recessed and the monitor is quite heavy. Be mindful that not all mounting arms will work easily. • Warranty: A 1-year warranty is disappointing for an investment of this size.
