Product Overview
Cooler Master GM34-CW is a mainstream 34-inch UW-QHD ultra-wide 1500R-curved gaming monitor in Cooler Master's 2020 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit VA panel that reaches 144 Hz maximum refresh rate.
Notably, this monitor supports HDR up to DisplayHDR 400. Its 1500R curvature provides a more immersive visual experience. In terms of color reproduction, one can expect above average performance.

Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.
