Acer screens have seemingly sometimes QC issues, but not this screen.

It is a very beautiful and solid built screen in the Predator theme. Firmly built with nice (if you like) foot of solid metal in black/red, a bit flashy, but that is a gaming monitor. The bezels are not particularly thick or thin but standard. As possible, they seem to be thinner because the screen just is so great.

The screen may not horizontally but vertically, and to the front and rear tilt.

The OSD is controlled via buttons at the bottom right and is very nice where one can set in terms of colors, brightness, gamma etc. G-Sync profiles are useful to enable you to separate games own brightness/color profile/setting.

The screen is very bright and has excellent viewing angles and beautiful colors with just a slight ‘IPS glow’. With a specified 4ms is the screen very good for gaming for an IPS screen, and ghosting is minimal. By an overdrive setting # default to normal one can the pixels even faster use the extreme setting, if necessary.

The maximaleverversingsfrequentie is 60Hz. 60Hz seems to be today, maybe not much but it is nice to play (if you gets) and certainly not inferior drama (for’twitch’ gamers want to sometimes exaggerate and say that anything less than 120Hz is not more playable).

The G-sync to work between 30 and 60Hz, and covers nearly the entire playable spectrum. In the upper right-hand corner you can the refreshfrequentie show without additional software. Your refresh rate with G-sync than your framerate.
The monitor overclocking may not. 60Hz is the max and even 61Hz results in a black screen.

A USB3 hub is in the screen built in with the ports on the left side, but the supplied cable is too short if your PC is to the right of the screen under the desk, because the connection is way to the left.

The manual gives the basics again and says what is what, but then few off. Thus, there is a Wide setting on ‘1:1’, ‘Full’ or ‘Aspect’ can be put, but I have no idea how or what that does because everything looks the same.

Himself, I sat on the rocker between an UltraWide and a UHD, but I am for this gone without any regret. You can yourself also UltraWide resolutions set in Windows and then if you 3840×1646 set, you also have 21:9 and effectively even in a higher resolution than the UltraWide monitor. This is absolutely beautiful, and super useful if you for example World of Warships play. In an ‘artificial’ 21:9 resolution, there are also less pixels to be controlled (24% less), so you get more fps out of your video card can pump.
That’s what I call Win-Win-Win

The price is firm, but it is also the only one of its kind for now -> 32″ IPS with G-Sync.
I bought it at Alternate.de where he with 1090,- a lot cheaper than in the Netherlands.
