Efficiency, Uniformity and Gaming
Power consumption is a fraction higher than average, and do note that this increases with the 120Hz overclock enabled. Running at the highest available refresh rate saw peak power consumption climb to 53 watts.
Colour uniformity
Uniformity can be a weak point on large panels, but the AG352UCG6 does well with regards to colour, with minimal variance across the display.
Luminance uniformity
Luminance uniformity is more fickle, with our review panel showing a variance of almost 20 per cent in the top corners.
Gaming Experience
Gamers making the transition from, say, a regular 1080p panel to a 35in ultra-wide display with a 3,440x1,440 resolution and 120Hz G-Sync are in for a treat. The size, resolution, subtle curve and framerate smoothing make for a immersive and silky-smooth gaming experience, yet there are a few caveats that may deter pro gamers.
VA panels often struggle to match the response times on offer from TN alternatives. In order to compensate, AOC has a well-implemented array of overdrive settings that noticeably improve pixel response, but cranking overdrive all the way up to strong will introduce some inverse ghosting. Medium is our preferred overdrive setting for this monitor, with good response and minimal ghosting, however TN remains the better option for those who are particularly susceptible to pixel lag.
Ultra-wide gaming can nonetheless be a visual feast - Forza 7 in particular looks fantastic - but the UWQHD resolution remains a niche solution that isn't guaranteed to be supported by all games, and those that do take advantage of the resolution often continue to display menu screens with black bars either side. You win some, you lose some.
