XR341CK ACER MONITOR DRIVERS WINDOWS
The Acer XR Predator is not just a gaming monitor though, the screen works well when running Windows and the 34″ size is big enough to avoid the need for any scaling. In fact, many argue that the biggest gains are seen at this point with diminishing returns when going from 120Hz and higher. And, as the former owner of a 75Hz monitor I can confirm that this was a noticeable improvement – to me at least.

On the plus side, they do allow you to hit 75Hz which is actually around 20% higher. The problem with running at high resolutions like 3440 x 1440 is that you need a lot of bandwidth to carry all the information from your graphics card to your monitor, so whilst this is a game orientated monitor, the refresh rate is limited. The XR341CK has impressive latency ratings which is good news for gamers and also better than expected power usage given its size and resolution. You wouldn’t want to observe the colour degradation sometimes seen on TN panels when looking over at the edges of the screen. Wide viewing angles are important here due to the great width of the monitor. PerformanceĪs expected for an IPS based panel, colour reproduction is impressive out of the box, and as always, can be tweaked further if required. The monitor comes with all the modern connectivity options but note you’ll need to use the DisplayPort socket if you wish to take advantage of the FreeSync adaptive syncronisation technology. You also get a strip of blue LEDs across the bottom to provide that all important ambient glow – no serious battle station would be seen without one! It has an anti-glare coating which does the job without leaving the screen too grainy. The monitor has smooth tilt and height adjustments although both require some effort to move, probably just as well as this is not a light screen by any measure. The screen curvature should help in this respect. This is very subjective though and something most gamers need to experience for themselves. 34″ is about the limit in my opinion, it starts to get difficult to see in game events that you need to react to in your peripheral vision. Given the size of this screen you’ll likely need a deep desk for it to sit in a comfortable position.Īrguably this is an issue with all larger monitors, after a certain point there is limit to how much screen you can comfortably see when sat at your desk. There is a potential issue that is worth highlighting, the stand sits on three points and each needs to be well positioned on your desk, as a result you’ll find the monitor sits relatively far forward on your desk. And thankfully the monitor design is attractive, sleek, and sturdy.
This is a premium priced monitor so you would be forgiven for expecting a top quality product. There is a G-Sync version of this monitor which, as you might expect, is a little more expensive – that’s the price you pay for running with Nvidia’s proprietary technology. Right now this is a luxury item at a premium price, you’ll need a decent graphics card to get the most out of it and a large desk to seat it on!
The Acer XR Predator XR341CK is a 34″ 21:9 curved screen monitor that combines FreeSync, fast response times with an IPS panel. It used to be the case that we’d all be happy with a 24″ widescreen running at 1080p, but recently we have seen a new wave of technologies and concentrated effort in the game screen market. There is a growing focus on gaming monitors and manufacturers such as Acer are putting effort into developing tailor made monitors that meet all the needs of a demanding FallOut 4 player.
