Its curved, ultra-wide panel, with a 21:9 aspect ratio, is of a type more commonly seen in gaming monitors—as is its maximum 100Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync adaptive sync technology. It’s an unusual hybrid of traits, and though it’s not cheap, the monitor is superb for bridging the gaming and creative worlds.
COLOR ACCURACY AND MUCH MORE
The matte-black PA34VC has a 34-inch screen (measured diagonally). Overall, it’s 16.8 by 32.1 by 8.8 inches (HWD), including its stand. The height increases to 21.2 inches when the stand is fully raised. The monitor is ergonomically friendly; in addition to the more than 4 inches of height adjustment, it can be tilted from 5 degrees downward to 23 degrees upward and swiveled 30 degrees in each direction.
The base is T-shaped, with a horizontal front bar that extends 22 inches along the bottom, most of the monitor’s width. The middle of the stand is bisected by a beam that connects in back to a cylindrical shaft, which connects to the panel’s cabinet near the top. The panel’s bottom bezel is 0.6-inch tall; the side and top bezels are so thin that the PA34VC can be thought of as effectively frameless, which makes it a good candidate for use in a multi-monitor setup.
The PA34VC’s IPS panel has a native UWQHD resolution (3,440 by 1,440 pixels), which works out to a 21:9 ultra-wide aspect ratio. Pixel density comes to 110 pixels per inch (ppi), lower than 4K monitors such as the ViewSonic VP2785-4K (163ppi) and effectively matching the ViewSonic VP3881 (111ppi). Generally, the higher the pixel density, the sharper the image.
