Acer CB342CUR Ultrawide Curved Monitor with 1ms, AMD FreeSync

The 34-inch large curved monitor CB342CUR from Acer comes with an IPS panel in a wide 21:9 format with a “ZeroFrame” design. Acer names a UWQHD resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels, Vesa DisplayHDR 400, and Radeon FreeSync for the new Acer monitor.

With the CB342CUR, Acer has introduced a 34-inch large curved monitor that is advertised with AMD FreeSync, USB-C, and UWQHD resolution. The new Acer curved monitor has a UWQHD resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels, is certified according to DisplayHDR 400, and therefore comes in a 21:9 format. Acer mentions 75Hz as the refresh rate for its curved PC monitor. As response time, Acer does not give the CB342CUR a value for the gray change (GtG) but the less meaningful MPRT of 1 ms.

Thanks to a stable base, the ultra wide curved monitor can be tilted, swiveled, and adjusted in height. Via a USB Type-C connection, peripheral devices such as smartphones, tablets, or notebooks can be connected to the Acer curved monitor, and the display, data transfer, or charging of the device can be accomplished with just one cable.

The Acer CB342CUR 34-inch ultra wide curved monitor has been priced at £962 and is available to buy via Amazon.co.uk online store.
