Acer XZ342CK Pbmiiphx Certified DisplayHDR400 Ultrawide Screen, 3440X1440, High Dynamic Range & Curved Design Review

Lately I've been using a 24 inch 1440p 144hz monitor and ALSO a 4k TV to play a lot of games. Flight sim is the biggest @ 4k.4k flight sim on a 50 inch tv is crazy! But my 2070Super didn't give me the frames I wanted. Also, the slow response times of TVs make it so fast that games like Horizon Zero Dawn just don't feel right compared to a 144Hz 1ms panel. Well, I said to myself, I'll buy a 3080 and everything will be fine. But then of course I couldn't believe it. So I decided to split the…

I bought this item a few weeks ago. The first screen I got had a few dead pixels, I had one dead pixel and I started the return process. The pixel is so small but I still demand my screens to be perfect. There should be no compromise on dead pixels, no matter how small, we pay a lot for screens and there shouldn't be a problem when they arrive. Don't be afraid to return a monitor with dead pixels, this could be a sign of a larger problem that can get worse over time. After making a return…

First of all, I'm going to keep it mainly because I don't want to hassle with packing and shipping it back. But I probably won't buy again. I bought it when it was barely on the market and hardly anyone was talking about it. I should also mention that I've switched from an ASUS VG248QE, so I'm incredibly spoiled for motion blur, which is plentiful by comparison. it's simple." and the answer is yes, the backlight occasionally blinks white. I only seem to see it out of the corner of my eye in…

Ultrawide, 1440p, FreeSync, 10-bit color, 400 nits, DisplayHDR400, 144Hz, 1ms response time. At this price it doesn't get any better. I don't know, maybe it's just because I upgraded to this beast from two 23-inch 1080p IPS monitors, but it's an amazing upgrade. "But why is VA better than IPS?" You can ask that and trust me I was concerned about that too when I upgraded, but my previous monitors were only 250 nits ten times better. Ghosting is a little noticeable in darker color schemes, but…

First I need to pass this on to Acer so they ship their monitors in the correct shipping boxes. The box that this monitor came in didn't look particularly fancy with all sorts of pretty graphics, but it was made out of very thick and sturdy cardboard. As soon as you open the box (it wasn't easy), you're greeted by two very large pieces of styrofoam, each taking up a full side of the box. These are thick and very strong pieces of foam with a monitor in the middle. You really have to be a…

This monitor is excellent! I use it for software development and video editing. It has speakers that are probably equivalent to standard laptop speakers, but lack bass and are side-firing as they are behind the monitor and project from behind. I don't buy monitors for their speakers so having them is a plus for me. The monitor stand and tilt are great! One hand can raise or lower about 5-6 inches! You can also lean up/down with good reach. This is a great feature when you want to change your…

I've had this monitor for a few days now and I really love it. I just bought a flat Samsung 34" Ultra Wide VA (SJ55W) from Costco which I had problems with so I returned it and the difference was better with Acer day and night. The option to enable gsync is shown , and when I enable it, it works without flickering. I've already played Rocket League and THPS 1+2 for several hours and everything went smoothly with no problems. Both games run smoothly at 144 Hz at 3440 x 1440 x 1070 and really…

As a disclaimer, I'm not a digital artist and generally my eyes don't see super nice OLED displays unless it's my phone. I also use a VESA mount, so I can't comment on the quality of the monitor stand that came with it. Also, I'm not interested in HDR content. I think it's fair to say that given this price range, most consumers won't buy it and expect great HDR performance. This monitor perfectly highlights the perfect storm that has been shaped over the years by the latest advances in display…

The price and date I'm looking at is @:$449, July 11, 2022. I think this is a relatively good monitor. I mainly use it for lower quality games (Valheim, Divinity 2, Sims 4, Ck3) and nothing too graphically intensive. I don't notice any strong blurring (there is, there is with all LCDs). The responsiveness is enough to play MOBAs like LoL and I don't feel suffocated by the monitor. The brightness is easily adjustable but I keep it between 0-20 depending on the daylight. If you have windows open…

I love this monitor and highly recommend it for gaming. When testing the performance of this fast monitor, I didn't experience any distortion, flickering or ghosting with my graphics card and driver. The screen's pixel density delivers sharp, crisp images, and with a 144Hz refresh rate, the pixel response time is something to judge. Excellent color quality, customizable settings and easy calibration. The contrast shows very bright white and dark black, with no noticeable black light showing…

It's huge, and if you're used to small, flimsy monitors, you might save your money. It's so big and masculine that most games won't even allow the full aspect ratio (Overwatch 2) because they're made from the soybeans. I drink white monsters and play like a boss on my monitor and so can you as long as you can handle the side effects which include testosterone spikes and can make women more attractive with your high definition curve monitor.

I bought one of these for my wife to replace two displays on a crowded desktop. That's my feedback! I ordered a second one a day later!

really like the size of the monitor. concerned about peripheral vision loss, but that's not a problem. Was also concerned about the gsync to freesync switch but didn't notice anything notable. One thing I'd like to say is that increasing screen size means lower pixel density, and I can see that, but that's to be expected and not a big issue.

I've transitioned from a 55 inch 1080p TV to this for gaming and it's crazy how much better gaming looks, love it so far Thanks for attention.

Great monitor with low response times and a good refresh rate. Definitely one of the cheapest on the market Thanks for attention.
