What customers say about "Key Specs"

Acer XR341CK Curved Gaming Monitor

All games, even older ones (Crysis 3, CoD Advanced Warefare) recognize the resolution immediately, and run at 3440x1440.
I use it for Gaming, Movies with 21:9 resolution, and video editing and the extra screen space makes all of that easier.
The item has amazing image quality and this is the resolution to have!
3440x1440 (21:9) is definitely a viable and beautiful resolution.
The support for this resolution is quite fantastic in modern games and with older games or 1080p ones it still looks impressive.

Acer XR342CK Curved Gaming Monitor

This monitor has a 75hz refresh rate and good enough resolution.
Not to big not to small just right! I did wish the resolution was a bit higher (I had 4/5k monitors before) but honestly I got used to it quickly.
This monitor is awesome. The resolution and brightness of this monitor makes in game graphics look great!
A good refresh rate, and the perfect resolution for its size.
Wide screen fills peripheral vision like no other monitor. Resolution is great.

What customers say about "Display"

Acer XR341CK Curved Gaming Monitor

Beautiful colors compared to my old Samsung TN Panel 27 inch monitor. No more nasty color shift.
The colors are vibrant and spot on.
Color is accurate (as measured by a Spyder meter) right out of the box.
The colors are fantastic, the ambient lighting is superb.
The colors and clarity are great, and it is amazing to game on.

Acer XR342CK Curved Gaming Monitor

Picture quality - it's very, very good. Rich colors, excellent contrast and sharpness.
I really like this monitor. The color is great.
Brightness is excellent. Mines at 70/100 and I like very bright and very white whites.
After calibration, colors are accurate and vibrant.
The colors are truly amazing, much better than the quantum dot 4k samsung I was using prior to this monitor.

What customers say about "Features"

Acer XR341CK Curved Gaming Monitor

The refresh rate is butter, and productivity features are everything I wanted.
This is definitely the perfect monitor for me. Strikes just the right balance between gaming performance and productivity.
This monitor has a great set of features working for and I really loved it.
Freesync applies to AMD cards only (there is another version of this monitor coming for Nvidia).
The adaptive sync/freesync feature reports a range of 30-75, but I frequently notice tearing when my framerate is still below the maximum.

Acer XR342CK Curved Gaming Monitor

A fantastic picture with decent refresh rate, solid construction, and nice additional features.
It has some gaming features such as Freesync which will be more viable in my opinion.
It's got plenty of great features—no need for me to go over what's explained in the description.
The speakers sound good enough, especially if you crank up the bass in Windows.
First monitor is amazing, my problem is the freesync feature and HDR do not work at the same time.

Inputs

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Acer XR341CK Curved Gaming Monitor

I had an adequate video connection this monitor has been nothing short of terrific.
Remember to use BizLink connections for 70+fps. Included BizLink cord is very short.
I like the USB hub on the back of the monitor and the ambient light os a nice touch.
The built in quick-charging USB 3.0 hub is a nice perk.
If you have a Nvidia card, you could run it in the display port as well at 75Hz, but i believe its better to do HDMI at 60HZ.

Acer XR342CK Curved Gaming Monitor

HDMI (at least cable I had, not one it came with) seems to be working at 75hz, at least thats what it is showing in games.
On both DP and HDMI the games automatically start at 60fps.
Multiple hdmi inputs allow me to watch cable and/or firestick on one side of the monitor while doing work on the other half of the monitor.
Connecting the 2012 MacBook Pro with an HDMI cable gives you the full resolution.
The bad part is I often lose the audio part of the HDMI on Windows PC.
