acerNitro XV340CKP 34 Inch Ultra-Wide Quad HD Gaming Monitor (IPS Panel, FreeSync, 144 Hz, 1 ms, HDR Ready, DP, HDMI, Height Adjustable, Black)

Can’t fault this monitor, yes the price is slightly higher that in Asia or the states but that’s the UK for you. I have always admired Acer for their monitors and have used them for years, always been consistent for me.I dual screen this monitor with a 2 year old Acer Nitro XF270HU , this has less ips back light bleed and has the least I’ve ever seen on an IPS panel.I may have been lucky with the panel lottery as there are no dead pixels or light uniformity issues.I can comment on the speakers as I don’t use them but I imagine they are naff like they are on all monitors.Colours were rubbish out of the box but have now got it calibrated and looks brilliant, so make sure you take time to fiddle with the settings.Great buy, great specs, great screen ratio, I use this for work and for some games mainly FFXIV and Destiny 2 both which support 3440 x 1440 resolution, and boy do they look glorious.Not many reviews out there on this new monitor, so had to research what I could find on YT and the internet, took a plunge but glad I did and can’t recommend this enough.

Absolutely brilliant. Worth the money, picture is crystal clear combined with the Xbox Series X. Everything flows so smoothly at 120fps. Couldn’t fault this monitor. Good stand, great picture, all round great 👍

I upgraded from 2 x 27" monitors to this ultrawide when it was on offer and I don't see myself ever going back. It is much more immersive, it has loads of screen real estate and it's perfect for gaming.Due to its size and the fact that it is a flat panel, you will need to sit a bit further away from it for the best results. At this size of monitor, a curved screen would make much more sense.The 144Hz refresh rate and IPS panel make for an exceptional gaming experience but you will need a beefy system to actually get 144FPS in modern titles.With the included USB cable, you can control the monitor's OSD via the software, but I found the experience to be less than ideal. It seems to be a bit buggy and at times it outright stopped working and I had to reboot my system because half of the screen wasn't working.The flaw in the monitor is the HDR effect, which quite frankly doesn't work well on Windows and the colours look washed out.There is a bit of backlight bleed, as you can see from the picture, but to be honest, it doesn't bother me that much and in games it is unnoticeable.The stand is sturdy and offers height, tilt and rotational adjustment and you can replace it with a VESA 100 mount if you want some extra space on your desk. I will be changing the stand soon as well.Whilst it has integrated speakers, they sound awful, so It's highly recommended to invest in a pair of decent ones.In terms of connectivity, you have 2 x DisplayPort, 2 x HDMI, 2 x USB 3.0 and audio pass-through.The screen looks good, apart from the backlight bleed mentioned above, there are no hotspots, it's uniform and there are no dead pixels (of course, this is a bit of a lottery with monitors, so your mileage might vary.

This monitor provides excellent Refresh rate, Image quality and even a HDR mode if your into it. If your not too fussed about having the most jaw dropping resolution and prioritise FPS then this is a must.Not only is it cheap for price however build quality is great and packaging too (so you know it will come in one piece)

Fantastic picture but the 60hz refresh rate is hard to game with after playing 240hz. Really nice picture and colour though. Good to play story/single player games and just for general Interneting.

Unlike it's predecessor, the XV240YP includes both a HDMI and DisplayPort cable in addition to a much better stand allowing better usability. It also increases the refresh rate to 165Hz.I haven't noticed any dead pixels or significant backlight bleed, all in all it's a very worthy upgrade from my 2015 144Hz TN Panel.

Broke after just over a year. Support has been non-existent, weeks to get a reply, and no follow up. Have been told 3 times that they forward a shipping link for DPD to pick up for repair, both via email and over the phone. Sadly only have the financial ombudsman route to go through now at some point.There is an inherent problem with the monitor that tons of people have raised online but Acer does not seem to care, believe it's to do with the power supply dying over time. The display just fades to black randomly. Sometimes it works for a couple of hours without issues before fading to black, other times the screen just stays black from boot.When it works, you're not going to get better for the price.

Very happy with the screen quality, the stand/pole works pretty decently as well so you might be able to put off getting a separate monitor pole for it. Little reminder that this offer Free-Sync and not G-Sync in case that's something you're after with your GPU choice.
