Acer Z35P Monitor Does 3440x1440 at 120 Hz and G-Sync

Acer Z35P Monitor Does 3440x1440 at 120 Hz and G-Sync

Acer is releasing the Z35P Monitor with a native 3440x1440 resolution it can manage 120 Hz refres rates and is a G-Sync screen. The display is based on a 35” AMVA (Advanced Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment) panel.

The curved display offers a 3440 x 1440 resolution (21:9 UltraWide aspect ratio) with 1800R curve. The panel actually is a 100Hz refresh rate one, but Acer does some internal overclocking and made that 120Hz. G-SYNC has a variable refresh rate range of 30 – 120Hz. ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur) is not supported due to the backlight of the panel itself not supporting this modulation method.

The monitor offers 8-bit colour reproduction and is tagged with a 2500:1 static contrast ratio is specified alongside 178°/178° viewing angles and a 4ms grey to grey response time. Brightness output is 300 cd/m² maximum. It has a 100 x 100mm VESA mount and display outputs include DP 1.2 (supports G-SYNC), HDMI 1.4 and 4 USB 3.0 ports (plus upstream). 2 x 9W DTS speakers with ‘Acer True Harmony’ are also included for potentially quite decent sound output.

The monitor is available in the US for a rather steep $1100

After owning both 144hz and 100hz gsync monitors, i am certain that my next monitor will be 144hz or better without gsync. Tearing is hardly seen at 144hz anyway and there are multiple downsides to gsync such as, added cost, gsync scanlines, weird "waves" running down the monitor when gsync is active(seen more on some baggrounds than other). Freesync is even more crappy due to limited working range, added lag when hitting upper and lower sync range, at least its cheap.

Next monitor: 144hz with freesync disabled

I disagree

Even at high refresh rates tearing and stuttering is clearly noticable (to me at least).
Besides.. Even with a powerfull SLI setup you will be CPU limited before reaching 120+fps anyway. G-sync brings a clear improvement in comparison to a fixed refresh rate IMO. The only scenario where having a G-sync monitor has litte to no advantage is when your game runs at a fixed 144fps.

Why these ultra wide screen monitors?? Really don't get the point for gaming anyway but maybe for other types of work it would make sense.

I have a Samsung CF791 (3440x1440 100hz, no g-sync) - Honestly (for me personally) I don't notice tearing or stuttering in games much, but I think this is because currently my setup is really balanced and pretty much any game runs around 100fps - some games like D3 I just put a manual fps limit of 110 in game and that works great too.

Also I really feel it's a lot more immersive then a flat panel 16:9 screen, This for me is noticable when gaming on my 55" tv compared to the monitor.

In all fairness tho, I bought an Ultrawide cause of music production (and some video edeting/photoshop), which was my nr1 priority, and that's where it really shines.

They're not for everyone, but they are actually great for games too imo (apart from some games having minor issues in menu's or UI).
I even run older games like SimCity4 and Command and conquer Generals fine on it, altho then you have black bars left and right cause they run in 16:9.


Last point - They're to expensive for what you get, that's my only issue, but if you use them mostly for other stuff then pure gaming they're great :P
If you "must' have 4k you can get those 40+ inch (60hz) screens at around 5 to 700 euro's.

Your comment reeks of ignorance.

There is no turning back from FreeSync or G-sync. (I upgraded from static 144 Hz ASUS VG248QE to FreeSync 144 Hz ASUS MG278Q.)
