The AOC 34″ UWQHD monitor (sku CU34E4CW, EAN 4038986112963) is a superb all-round monitor with carefully considered features for its broad target audience. It offers an excellent opportunity to maximise sales and customer satisfaction.
For resellers and managed service providers (MSPs) tasked with the role of recommending a monitor for customers, look no further than the CU34E4CW. The monitor not only offers considerable value for money, but comes with a five-year warranty, and is worth a closer look, so here are some tips on how to sell it.
Target audience
👤 Professionals who spend “9 to 5” in front of a screen
👤 Screen workers who multitask or use MS Office and social media frequently
👤 Hybrid workers
👤 School, college and university administrators
👤 Medical practitioners
👤 Retail managers
👤 Web developers and data analysts
👤 Anyone seeking increased privacy, immersion or less eye strain compared to their current monitor.
Curves are in
Curved monitors are designed to match the natural shape of human eyes, which brings practical benefits in comfort, immersion and productivity. The CU34E4CW offers a 178°/178° viewing angle, which equates to a display offering excellent, near-total clarity from almost any position, with the first number (178°) being the horizontal angle (left/right) and the second (178°) the vertical angle (up/down) ensuring a crystal-clear viewing experience. For those customers less interested in the dynamics behind the curvature of the CU34E4CW, just use the words Immersive Viewing, and they might get the picture.
The curved screen subtly wraps the image on screen around the eyes’ field of vision, pulling the eyes’ focus towards the centre, and thus work, or gaming, feels more engaging and the user tends to feel more focused.
Reduced eye strain
Curved displays keep every part of the screen at a more consistent distance from the users’ eyes. This leads to less refocusing between centre and edges and reduced eye fatigue during long sessions. The AOC 34″ makes an ideal desk companion for any customer that embarks on all-day desk work like finance, coding or data-heavy roles.
Recently, in UC Advanced magazine, Paul Butler, AOC’s regional sales director UK&I, discussed the increasing importance screen manufacturers, buyers and end users are putting on eye comfort. On the issue of eye comfort for end users, Paul commented, “It’s become absolutely critical. Digital eye strain has become a major workplace health issue with the shift to hybrid working making it a permanent concern rather than a temporary one. Computer Vision Syndrome is now widely recognised as affecting many office workers who spend extended periods in front of screens. For manufacturers like AOC, eye comfort has moved from being a nice-to have feature to an essential specification that customers actively demand, and procurement departments specifically look for.”
What customers want
Paul adds that the key factors are refresh rates, blue light management, and ergonomics. “Higher refresh rates like 120Hz are making a massive difference – smoother visuals mean less eye strain,” he says. Good news – the CU34E4CW has that. For those not in the know, the average refresh rate for standard work monitors is 60Hz, which is adequate, but higher rates like 120Hz provide noticeably smoother scrolling and less eye strain, offer a better experience for all-day use, make motion clearer and ultimately increase productivity.
AOC’s Anti-Blue Light technology reduces the intensity and strength of shortwave blue light from computer screens, while still maintaining true colour and clarity. Research regarding blue light from computer screens has shown it can cause temporary digital eye strain, leading to dry eyes, headaches, blurry vision, and fatigue, and it can disrupt sleep by suppressing melatonin.
“Hardware-based blue light reduction is crucial rather than software filters that compromise colour accuracy,” adds Paul. “But eye health is not our only concern: seating position matters as well. Proper height adjustment and viewing angles are vital. The stand design matters enormously as it helps maintain a proper posture.”
The AOC CU34E4CW stand offers substantial ergonomic features, including significant height adjustment (a generous 18cm for those short and tall), as well as tilt and swivel functionality. It includes a thoughtful cable management opening for routing pesky cables to de-clutter desks and is VESA mountable, supporting VESA 100x100mm mounting for alternative setups.
5MP Win Hello Webcam
The webcam is a built-in feature of the AOC CU34E4CW 34-inch curved ultrawide monitor, eliminating the need for additional hardware. It’s a pop-up unit, and the user can push it back neatly into the unit after use, if so desired. The 5-megapixel (MP) webcam has a high resolution, offering QHD (2560 x 1944) video quality for clear video conferencing, and includes advanced sensors for a secure, hands-free login via Windows™ Hello facial recognition.
Additionally, there are a built-in microphone and two 5W speakers, ensuring a seamless audio and video experience without the need of external periphery.
Connectivity
The monitor offers one-cable connectivity and versatility with USB-C, HDMI and a DisplayPort. This means that users can choose any make of laptop without requiring a matching docking station. Just another real saving this monitor offers. The 90W USB-C connection can simultaneously transfer high-resolution video and charge a device’s battery via USB power delivery.
The monitor has a Smart KVM switch, enabling the user to switch between multiple devices and control them using only a single keyboard and mouse.
