Great monitor. Definitely worth the sale price.

I picked up the monitor when it was on sale with a 25% discount and I have not been disappointed. Great colour with a good refresh rate and resolution. It works fine at 75 Hz with a Nvidia GPU as long as you use a modern display port cable (which was not included).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent 34" Ultrawide Monitor when at 399$

Bought my first ultrawide 34" monitor mainly for work at 399$ during sale in Feb/March 2020. Enjoyed it so much that I just got a second one during boxing week. Don't focus on the "gaming" branding on it, it's also an excellent productivity tool. 1440p resolution, 1ms response, 75hz refresh rate, what's not to like? Better specs than the similarly priced 1080p LG.

Acer CB2 34" Ultrawide 1440P (CB342CK)
on November 29, 2019

Since no one review for this monitor just yet. I'll give it a shot.
Just bought this from Best Buy Black Friday today, tried it on this afternoon. The monitor has very good height and tilt adjustment, with build in speaker. The silver stand was strong and stable, capable for full swivel. Keep in mind this is not a curve monitor, it's just flat but fine for me.
Color not that vibrant but satisfied, it'll be much better once have it tune up. Using included HDMI cable and just 1060Ti card have max 75HZ refresh rate, very happy. 1440P resolution also adjusted itself, no need manual setup.
If you're not an extreme gamer than I believe this monitor is a good buy for everyday usage with office productivity, movies and gaming. Hope this monitor last just like other 2 old Acer monitors I have. Cheer.

Good monitor but defective

The menu keeps popping up. I researched the problem and it may be a faulty circuit board causing the menu buttons on the monitor to press by itself.
great monitor but because of this, the monitor has become useless. For the price, these things shouldn't happen!

Awesome all around!

I got this monitor when it was only $399 at Best Buy and I couldn't be happier. I was able to overclock it from 75hz up to 102hz, so that in itself took care of one of the issues I had with this monitor to begin with. But 102hz is now a far cry from the 60hz I had prior to this. So happy. The second cool thing is, I am able to use a 4K resolution while playing Call of Duty, so this monitor actually has a 4K screen downscaled to 1440p. I have no issues with this monitor whatsoever, and love the ultrawide... I have a 28" 4K 60hz monitor (overclocked to 71hz) to the right of it, and a 26" 1080p 75hz monitor to the left of it. I'm not so sure it's worth it at its current price of $599, but it absolutely was at $399 (or it could have been $499, but it certainly wasn't $599 a couple of weeks ago).

Acer ultrawide 75hz

This monitor is very good, the size is perfect and the graphics are very good. the only bad thing about it which is not even very bad is the 75hz, this only means the frames won't be as good when playing for a very long time. this monitor is perfect for everything and has many ports that you can plug your laptop or any gaming device into.

Affordable Option if You Overlook Viewing Angle
on July 24, 2021
Posted by: Jingo
from Toronto
I was looking into an ultrawide instead of a dual monitor setup and decided to give this a try because it is very reasonably priced. Generally speaking, this monitor is quite average and produces decent results. However, you need to consider the viewing angle and whether you can live with it.
- Viewing Angle: The viewing angles are quite bad and are only good for the person sitting directly in front (even then there can be slight distortion on the edges)
- Viewing Angle: The viewing angles are quite bad and are only good for the person sitting directly in front (even then there can be slight distortion on the edges)
Otherwise, the monitor can be a great deal for someone. I only returned it because I felt it wasn't enough space on one monitor and I either need to go bigger or use a dual setup.

Impossible to get this thing working right.

Ever since I bought it... some days it works, and other days it doesn't. The button panel under the monitor does not work as the manual says.
