The XG129C is a 12.3-inch 720p IPS side display, while the XG34WCDMS is a 34-inch 3440 x 1440 QD-OLED monitor with 280Hz refresh rate.
Asus said the smaller screen targets streaming, editing and PC monitoring, includes a one-year AIDA64 Extreme subscription, and offers 125% sRGB and 90% DCI-P3 coverage.
