Acer ED340CU 34-inch UW-QHD VA Gaming Monitor 180Hz 3440x1440 with 1ms Response Time (Renewed)

I bought the ED340CU refurbished in "excellent" quality and it definitely did arrive in excellent quality. It still had original packaging, manuals, and cables that appeared untouched. No dead pixels or damage to the screen whatsoever.For $197 (what I paid for this monitor) this thing is really unbeatable. I have two other ultrawides that were each roughly $1000; one for my racing sim rig, and one for my home office setup. I bought this cheaper screen to take to work as they will not provide ultrawides to employees. So I'd like to think I have a pretty good understanding of how this screen compares to other ultrawides.With all of that said, for the money you pay for this screen, you get a lot of value. When compared to my other screens, which were 5x the price, it doesn't have incredible color accuracy out of the box, and does have some screen tearing/ghosting, and a bit more backlight bleed than I'd typically tolerate. But most people will probably not notice these things unless they have used a very high quality screen, or are particularly sensitive to these sorts of things.I found I can get much better colors -- similar to IPS panels I have next to this screen -- by adjusting some of the monitor settings. And if you're on Windows, you can open up the 'Display Color Calibration' application to dial it in even more. The gamma setting within this app made a MASSIVE difference when combined with the monitor settings. It could probably be improved even more with a proper display calibration tool and ICC profile, like a Spyder + DisplayCAL.A casual gamer will probably have no issues using this monitor, and it's also perfectly suitable for office work. If you're planning on doing competitive gaming -- especially competitive shooters -- I would recommend spending a bit more money to get a nicer screen with less tearing/ghosting, but otherwise this thing is an incredible value and I would recommend it to essentially anyone looking to save some money.

Great graphics for games that eat allot, it does have built in speakers just have to have the correct driver for it with you graphics card, and it is wall mounted. Definitely the best bang for buck.

Pros: Picture is great, price was great , condition was great ,resolution, refresh rate, curved.Significant noticable improvement coming from a 75hz refesh rate with the higher refresh rate with gaming , web browsing.Cons: the built in speakers stink

Would highly recommend this! Added bonus it has loud speakers on it…. Most monitors I’ve had for gaming don’t have that.

Surprisingly Actually much better than I thought since I was downgrading from a 49in Samsung QHD curved 280Hz monitor, and before that it was the 38in Alienware QHD curved 165Hz monitor. This one is pretty light for its size but overall feels sturdy enough. I would give it a 5 star but there is definitely something wrong with the HDR on this monitor. When I turn the HDR on, it makes the picture very bad with a pink tint to the screen. other than that, everything is great.

So far works! what I needed for regular home use.

As expected

Great quality
