What customers say about "Features"

Acer XR342CK 34" Curved QHD Monitor HDR Ready with Adaptive-Sync

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.

ASUS MX34VQ Curved Monitor

Stable stand, beautiful silver/black design.
Very thin panel with near edge to edge matte screen.
The base secures to the monitor using a single screw, which is great when traveling.
The monitor is excellent, to play, to use all day on the computer, I really liked the change of game mode a reading mode.
No audio adjustment options, only volume control.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Acer XR342CK 34" Curved QHD Monitor HDR Ready with Adaptive-Sync

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.
