2. Product Overview and Features

The Gawfolk GF340H is a high-performance ultrawide gaming monitor designed to enhance your visual experience with its advanced features.

Key Features:

• 34-inch Ultrawide Display: The 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio provides an expansive display area not found in traditional 16:9 monitors. This enhances situational awareness in FPS and simulation games, and significantly improves work efficiency for remote work or video editing by allowing multiple windows to be handled simultaneously. Enjoy cinematic scope without black bars when watching movies or streaming services.
• High-Speed Response and High Refresh Rate: Achieves 1ms (GTG) response time, minimizing ghosting and input lag. With 120Hz refresh rate support, it maintains smooth visuals even in fast-paced genres like FPS and fighting games. This performance meets the demands of sports scenes and professional gamers, providing a comfortable playing environment.
• FreeSync & G-Sync Compatible: Compatibility with AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync effectively reduces image tearing and stuttering. It synchronizes rendering with the GPU output, enabling a stable gaming experience. This ensures comfortable operation for both PC and home console gaming, reducing eye fatigue during long play sessions.
• HDR & Wide Color Gamut: HDR support and 99% sRGB wide color gamut deliver rich color expression and deep contrast. Details in dark areas are clearly rendered, providing a realistic and immersive picture quality for movie and photo viewing. It is also suitable for video editing and creative work, performing broadly from work to entertainment.
• Rich Connectivity and Comfortable Setup: Equipped with HDMI 2.1 x2, DP 1.4 x1, and Audio Out terminals, allowing connection to a wide range of devices such as PCs, PS5, and Switch. VESA mount (75mm x 75mm) compatibility makes it easy to set up with monitor arms or wall mounts. Tilt adjustment from -5° to 15° ensures optimal viewing comfort for extended use.
