This Monitor is one of the worst out of all the 4K high refresh ones. Also its very buggy and switching between SDR and HDR is so annoying. Calling it "The Only Monitor You'll Ever Need" is a biiig stretch.
Great video! I got this monitor and I hate the big stand it comes with. I'm definitely getting the monitor stand you showed in the video with some spacers, washers and screws. I think If you're only using this monitor for gaming and web browsing leaving it on HDR preset is fine. I just set and forget it.
That OSD though. It's so painfully slow to do anything at all. This monitor, despite how beautiful the picture is, only made through one day on my desk; all because of that terrible and sluggish OSD.
I already got the old Acer Predator x27 (ips 144hz fald and all), considering having this as a secondary, but idk about the color accuracy? Are the colors good?
@@DetroitFury I am expressing that this Acer monitor is outdated, considering that far superior OLED monitors have been announced for release this month, with another batch coming next month. At its current state, purchasing this Acer monitor is not advisable, even though it is priced at $550 or $750. Here are the reasons why: - It possesses one of the slowest grey-to-grey response times among all 4K 144Hz+ monitors. - It exhibits one of the highest input lags among all 4K 144Hz+ monitors. - Its grayscale performance is among the poorest when local dimming is enabled, which is the main feature of this monitor. - The firmware is plagued with numerous bugs. - The OSD (On-Screen Display) is notably slow and sluggish. - It lacks an auto switcher for SDR and HDR mode, necessitating manual adjustment of at least two settings every time you want to switch. - To add to the drawbacks, it exhibits a considerable 20ms input lag in HDR mode, equating to a 3-frame delay. Consider a scenario where you are playing at 160fps; incorporating the 20ms input lag results in an effective input lag equivalent to 61.53fps. This monitor cannot be rightfully labeled as "The Only Monitor You'll Ever Need." While it's true that there is currently no other monitor offering this specific package, the compromises and annoyances associated with this monitor are not worth the investment. For MacBook/Laptop users, the convenience of a USB-C with DisplayPort + 90W charging is appreciated, providing a satisfying one-cable solution. In this context, I would have preferred the slightly more expensive Philips Evnia 8000 34M2C8600, 34". Although it lacks 4K resolution and the desired pixel density, it stands as a much better overall monitor. However, it's worth noting that the OLED monitors set to release this month and the next month are closer to meeting the criteria of "The Only Monitor You'll Ever Need" - boasting 4K 240Hz, OLED display, USB-C, and 65W/90W charging capabilities.
@@DetroitFury thanks found it changed my mind on the monitor now though you should do a video on gaming monitors like the headset one budget -mid and top tier I want a 4k curved 🤙🏻 brought the Acezone A-spire from your videos got it for £130 new in box

Where did you buy the longer screws and spacers sir?

What kid of spacers did you use for the mount?

Is there a 32inch model?
I don't believe with this same model
@@DetroitFury but you never mentioned hdr 1000 + Local Dimming? , thats the main reason to buy this monitor
Monitor is already outdated + has some heavy flaws that are not fixed yet
No wayyyyyy
name one monitor that has everything this offers including 90watt fast charging at this price point?.....you almost have to pay double
