It's a feature-packed model with VRR support, HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, and a wide range of extra features for gamers and office users alike.

Games feel responsive thanks to its incredibly low input lag, and its VRR feature works with any recent graphics card to reduce tearing.

The HyperX OMEN OLED 34 isn't a good choice for console gaming. While games look and perform amazingly, there are some significant compatibility issues with the PS5, and it's even worse with the Xbox. You can't take full advantage of either console, as it's limited to 4k @ 60Hz with the PS5 and 1440p @ 60Hz with the Xbox. If that's okay with you, though, then games do look fantastic thanks to its crystal clear motion handling, low input lag, and fantastic picture quality.

The HyperX OMEN OLED 34 is a good office monitor. It has good text clarity with no color fringing thanks to its new RGB Stripe panel technology. Text is clear and crisp, and the screen is incredibly uniform. It also has a fantastic viewing angle, so the sides of the image don't shift or fade if you're sharing the screen with someone else. Unfortunately, there's a high risk of burn-in, though, especially with static elements like the taskbar or borders around windows.

Popular Monitor Comparisons
The HyperX OMEN OLED 34 is a premium OLED monitor with fantastic picture quality, stellar motion handling, and a superb selection of extra features for both gaming and productivity. It faces stiff competition from other monitors with fifth-generation QD-OLED panels, like the MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36, Dell Alienware AW3426DW, and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDN, and unfortunately, there's not much that sets it apart from those models. It delivers similar picture quality to the other models, but like the Dell, it lacks a BFI feature and unlike the MSI and ASUS it lacks DisplayPort 2.1.
For other options, check out our picks for the best ultrawide gaming monitors, the best curved gaming monitors, and the best high refresh rate gaming monitors.
The MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 and HyperX OMEN OLED 34 are extremely similar overall, as they share the same underlying panel. There are a few connectivity and design differences between them, though. The MSI supports DisplayPort 2.1, so you can reach a higher refresh rate over DisplayPort without relying on compression. The MSI also has much better console compatibility, so it's by far the better choice if you plan on pairing the monitor with an Xbox or PS5.
The HyperX OMEN OLED 27q and the HyperX OMEN OLED 34 are very similar overall, and the best one ultimately depends more on your personal preferences than any performance metric. The 34 is roughly the same height as the 27q, but it fills more of your field of view. This is better for multitasking and delivers a more immersive gaming experience, but it may be less suited for certain genres. The 34 also uses a more recent QD-OLED panel with an RGB Stripe layout. This results in better text clarity and no color fringing.
The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDN and the HyperX OMEN OLED 34 are extremely similar. They share the same panel and offer nearly identical picture quality, but the HyperX is slightly more accurate out of the box. The ASUS, on the other hand, has better connectivity, since it supports DisplayPort 2.1 and can reach a higher refresh rate over DisplayPort without using DSC. Finally, the ASUS has much better console compatibility, so it's definitely the better choice if you plan on ever pairing it with a PS5 or Xbox.
The Dell Alienware AW3426DW and the HyperX OMEN OLED 34 are extremely similar overall, and most of the differences between them boil down to features and connectivity. The HyperX offers better USB-C Power Delivery, as the 15W support on the Dell isn't enough to keep your laptop or MacBook charged while working. The Dell also has a lower refresh rate, so motion isn't quite as smooth. On the other hand, the Dell has better console compatibility, so if you plan on gaming with a PS5 or Xbox, it's by far the better choice.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
