Our take on the Acer Nitro 34 QHD 2K Gaming Monitor

The Acer Nitro 34 is a 34-inch ultrawide gaming monitor with a 3440x1440 VA panel, a 240 Hz refresh rate and a 1 ms response time. It supports AMD FreeSync Premium over DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI, so it suits fast shooters and racing games on a wide curved screen. Its VA panel gives deep blacks and strong contrast but shows more smearing in dark scenes than a fast IPS rival. Against other 34-inch ultrawides it trades some color accuracy and viewing angles for a much higher refresh rate.

What reviewers say

Owners of Acer Nitro ultrawides generally praise the smooth high-refresh gaming and the immersive wide screen. The common complaints are VA ghosting in dark scenes and colors that need tuning out of the box.

What people mention

ContrastPraisedDeep blacks and strong contrast are called out as the panel's best trait.

Questions and answers

Is 240 Hz worth it on an ultrawide?: Yes if you play fast shooters and your GPU can push high frame rates at 3440x1440. Otherwise a 144 Hz or 165 Hz ultrawide is easier to drive and still smooth.
Does FreeSync work with Nvidia cards?: FreeSync Premium works with AMD cards over DisplayPort. Many Nvidia cards also run it as G-Sync Compatible, but check the driver support list for your model.
Is a VA panel bad for gaming?: No. VA gives deep blacks and high contrast, which suits dark games and movies. The trade-off is slower pixel transitions in dark tones, which can smear.
What connections does it have?: It has DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI inputs. Use DisplayPort to reach the full 240 Hz refresh rate.
Does it need a strong GPU?: For high frame rates at 3440x1440, yes. A mid-range card handles desktop work and slower games, but fast shooters at 240 Hz need a high-end GPU.
Is it good for work as well as gaming?: The wide screen suits spreadsheets and side-by-side windows. For color-critical photo or video work, an IPS panel with better accuracy is the safer pick.
