Kuycon has released the W34KB, a 34-inch Fast HVA monitor designed for users who need high resolution without sacrificing speed. This dual-mode display allows buyers to switch between a sharp 5K WUHD resolution and a faster 360Hz mode, addressing the common trade-off between clarity and refresh rate in ultrawide gaming. We see this as a practical solution for players who want crisp visuals for strategy games but need maximum frame rates for competitive shooters.
Fast HVA panel switches between 5K resolution and 360Hz speed
The panel operates in two distinct modes to accommodate different usage scenarios. In the primary mode, the screen runs at 5120 by 2160 resolution with a 180Hz refresh rate. Users can switch to a WFHD mode that boosts the refresh rate to 360Hz for smoother motion in fast-paced titles. The display achieves a 1ms response time in both modes to minimize input lag.
Specifications
- Panel Type: Fast HVA
- Resolution: 5120 x 2160 (5K WUHD)

Visual quality is supported by 10-bit color depth and broad color gamut coverage. The monitor covers 99% of the sRGB space and 98% of the DCI-P3 standard. It holds DisplayHDR 600 certification and reaches a peak brightness of 450 nits. The contrast ratio sits at 3300:1, which helps maintain deep blacks in dark scenes.
Connectivity options include a USB Type-C port that delivers 100W of power delivery. The rear panel also features two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 input. Additional ports include two USB Type-A downstream ports and a 3.5mm audio jack. The monitor supports Adaptive-Sync and includes a KVM switch for managing multiple computers.
Kuycon offers two chassis versions to suit different workspace preferences. The minimalist edition omits built-in speakers to keep the design clean. The honeycomb edition includes dual stereo speakers for users who want integrated audio. Both versions support Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes for multitasking.
