This document serves as the user manual for an AOC Gaming LCD Monitor, model CU34G2XP/BK, providing comprehensive instructions for its setup, adjustment, and maintenance. The monitor is designed for an immersive gaming experience, featuring a curved display and various game-centric functionalities.

Function Description

The AOC Gaming LCD Monitor CU34G2XP/BK is a high-performance display unit primarily designed for gaming and multimedia consumption. It functions as an output device for computers, displaying visual information through its LCD panel. The monitor supports multiple input sources, including HDMI and DisplayPort, allowing connectivity with various devices such as PCs, gaming consoles, and other multimedia players.

A key feature of this monitor is its support for AMD FreeSync Premium, which synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with the graphics card's frame rate. This technology aims to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, providing a smoother and more fluid gaming experience. The manual details compatible AMD graphics cards and processors that can leverage this function, ensuring users can optimize their setup for FreeSync Premium.

The monitor incorporates an On-Screen Display (OSD) system, which allows users to access and modify various display settings directly on the screen. This OSD is navigated using a set of hotkeys located on the monitor's bezel, providing intuitive control over picture quality, color, game-specific enhancements, and other system parameters.

Usage Features

The CU34G2XP/BK monitor offers a wide range of features designed to enhance the user's viewing and gaming experience:

Adjustability: The monitor stand allows for adjusting the viewing angle, including tilt (from -5° to 23°) and height (up to 130mm). This ergonomic design ensures users can position the screen to their personal preference for optimal comfort and viewing. The manual emphasizes the importance of holding the stand when adjusting the angle to prevent toppling and warns against touching the LCD screen during adjustments to avoid damage.

Connectivity: The monitor provides multiple connection options, including two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 with Quick Charging, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 upstream port, two HDMI inputs, two DisplayPort inputs, and an earphone out jack. This extensive connectivity allows users to connect multiple devices simultaneously and easily switch between them. The manual provides clear instructions on how to connect the monitor to a PC, including power and signal cable connections.

OSD Settings: The OSD menu is divided into several categories, offering granular control over the display:

• Luminance: This section allows adjustment of contrast, brightness, and various "Eco modes" (Standard, Text, Internet, Game, Movie, Sports, Reading, Uniformity). It also includes Gamma settings (Gamma1, Gamma2, Gamma3), DCR (Dynamic Contrast Ratio) for enhancing contrast, and HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode adjustments (DisplayHDR, HDR Picture, HDR Movie, HDR Game).
• Color Setup: Users can fine-tune color temperature (Warm, Normal, Cool, sRGB, User) and utilize DCB (Dynamic Color Boost) modes (Full Enhance, Nature Skin, Green Field, Sky-blue, AutoDetect) to optimize color reproduction. Individual Red, Green, and Blue gain adjustments are also available.
• Picture Boost: This unique feature allows users to create a "Bright Frame" on the screen, adjusting its size, brightness, contrast, and position. This can be useful for highlighting specific areas of the screen during gaming or other applications.
• OSD Setup: This section controls the OSD itself, including language, timeout duration, DP Capability (1.1/1.2/1.4), OSD position (horizontal and vertical), volume, and transparency. It also includes a "Break Reminder" feature, which can alert users to take breaks after continuous use.
• PIP Setting (Picture-in-Picture) / PBP (Picture-by-Picture): This allows users to display content from two different input sources simultaneously on the screen. Users can select the main and sub-screen sources, adjust the sub-screen size (Small, Middle, Large), position (Right-Up, Right-Down, Left-Down, Left-Up), and audio source.
• Game Setting: This is a crucial section for gamers, offering various game modes (FPS, RTS, Racing, Gamer1, Gamer2, Gamer3) optimized for different game genres. It includes "Shadow Control" to adjust dark areas without overexposing bright ones, "Low Input Lag" to minimize delay, "Game Color" for saturation adjustments, "LowBlue Mode" to reduce blue light emission, "Overdrive" for faster response times, "Frame Counter" to display the vertical scanning frequency, and "MBR (Motion Blur Reduction)" to reduce motion blur. The AMD FreeSync Premium function can also be toggled here.
• Extra: This section includes input selection, an off-timer, image ratio adjustments (Wide, 4:3, 1:1, and various simulated screen sizes), DDC/CI (Display Data Channel/Command Interface) support, and a reset option to restore default settings.

Hotkeys: The monitor features dedicated hotkeys for quick access to frequently used functions:

• Source/Exit: Switches input sources when OSD is closed.
• Game Mode/<: Opens game mode function and navigates left in OSD.
• Dial Point/>: Activates/deactivates the Dial Point menu and navigates right in OSD.
• Menu/Enter: Displays OSD or confirms selection.
• Power: Turns the monitor on/off.

Wall Mounting: The monitor is VESA-compatible, allowing it to be mounted on a wall using a separately purchased wall mounting arm. The manual provides step-by-step instructions for removing the stand and attaching the wall mount, along with important warnings regarding screen damage during installation.

Maintenance Features

The manual provides essential guidelines for maintaining the monitor to ensure its longevity and optimal performance:

Cleaning: Users are instructed to clean the cabinet regularly with a water-dampened, soft cloth. For the screen, a soft cotton or microfiber cloth, damp and almost dry, should be used, ensuring no liquid enters the case. Crucially, the power cord must be disconnected before cleaning the product to prevent electric shock.

Safety Precautions: The manual outlines several safety measures to prevent damage to the monitor and ensure user safety:

• Power: The monitor should only be operated from the specified power source. It is equipped with a grounded plug, and users are warned against overloading power strips or extension cords. Disconnecting the unit during lightning storms or prolonged non-use is recommended.
• Installation: Users are advised against placing the monitor on unstable surfaces and to use only manufacturer-recommended stands or mounting kits. Objects should never be pushed into the monitor's slots, and liquids should not be spilled on it. Adequate ventilation space around the monitor is crucial to prevent overheating.
• General Handling: Users are warned against exposing the monitor to severe vibration, high impact, or dropping it during operation or transportation.
• Troubleshooting: A dedicated "Troubleshoot" section helps users diagnose and resolve common issues such as the power LED not being on, no image on the screen, fuzzy pictures, flickering, or color defects. It suggests checking cable connections, power supply, video card settings, and monitor drivers.
• LED Indicator: The manual explains the meaning of the LED indicator: white for full power mode and orange for active-off mode, helping users quickly understand the monitor's status.

By following these instructions, users can ensure safe operation, optimal performance, and extended lifespan of their AOC Gaming LCD Monitor CU34G2XP/BK.
