Acer Predator Z301C is 30inch Curved VA Panel with 200Hz Refresh and GSYNC

Acer Predator Z301C is 30inch Curved VA Panel with 200Hz Refresh and GSYNC

Okay, the refresh rates are just getting dim-witted. I mean who needs 200 Hz unless you have bionic eyes? Acer a new 30" ultra-wide model in their Z1 gaming monitor series. The Predator Z301C comes with a 2560 x 1080 resolution and 1800R curvature.

The panel is VA, and supports an up to 200Hz refresh rate. It is a little uncertain if that is overclocked or not, but the panel used is a AU Optronics AMVA panel and that could be a native speed. Whether the VA panel can offer response times fast enough to make this 200Hz refresh rate practical, and whether you can power a screen with this resolution at that kind of refresh rate reliably is another question of course. NVIDIA G-sync supported for them nice dynamic refresh rates.

"The 30-inch high-res curved monitor with 2560x1080 resolutions and 178° wide viewing angle provide a full-fledged audio-visual entertaining and gaming experience. It equips dynamic stand design composed by various triangle elements and armor-shaped layer with black dot pattern. The powerful accent color highlight and crafted hairline brush express the truly high-tech and sci-fi image. Inspired by futuristic spaceship, there are various concrete angles and overlapping triangles appearing in different perspectives of the Predator Z301C to create a sharp and dynamic visual effect and to convey an aggressive message. Also, the masculine stand is composed by various triangle elements, creating a great contrast with the smooth curved display. The concrete-angle design with powerful confident linear elements of rear give a super sleek and high performance image. The extreme-narrow frame provides the maximum viewing area in minimum dimension. The cable management hole helps users to organize accessory cables easily and neatly. It can be tilted from -5° to 35° and reached 150 mm up and down for providing the most comfortable viewing angles to users."

The screen offers a 4ms G2G response time, 3000:1 contrast ratio, 100% sRGB coverage and 178/178 viewing angles. We would expect to see DisplayPort and HDMI inputs. There are also 2x 7W DTS speakers included. The design looks to be similar to that of the Z35. Currently there is no mention of a release date.

Hmmh 2x 1080 for that 200hz. I like high refresh rate monitors but we don't have cards to drive them especially in newer games.

Games where you utilize most of benefits of High refresh rate are usually lighter as they are competitive multiplayer games. And part of popularity is availability to masses.
(That's impossible without lightweight design.)

I do sacrifice some things to reach as stable 144fps as possible.
But even Overwatch which does not exactly favors GCN does that with little visual sacrifice.

3 of these mounted vertically 3240x2560...not sure the curve panel will be forgiving in this orientation.

more hz=less lag(in overall)
so y, more hz in this case helps.
Need to wait 4 tests of this monitor, then we will see how it works in games.

... its not aimed for competitive players, its for consumers who tend to enjoy in-game graphics.


So this. I am fed up to the back teeth with IPS/TN washed out blacks and terrible colour because of the wishy washy black/contrast level.

This monitor may not be the ultimate solution but it's far better than the above as far as I'm concerned for making graphics pretty again like back in the CRT days.
