ok..broke down and ordered it.

I already confirmed this with CSR 2 days ago and called them again prior to ordering. Same thing as what the other person told me last time.

Order now....then on 11/30 when deal is active, fill out the price adjustment form via Costco website (order #, amount paid, new promo price, etc). Then submit and they said price adjustments are honored as long it's under 30 days.

And this process is ONLY for online orders (so u dont have to return prod and rebuy).

I've looked far and beyond and under $450, this Acer is the only solid deal with HDR400, brighter VA panel, 144hz amd sycn (I have a gaming system incoming with a AMD 5700XT).

Even if the $350 deal may not work out, I'm gonna keep this. I already have the 32" non ultrawide Nitro series that Costco started carrying last month and it's pretty much same specs as this deal minus the ultrawide aspect.

With my Nitro order, I never received any shipping/tracking till the monitor showed up at my doorstop 4 days later so I expect the same. Upon delivery, then Costco email came thru as "delivered".

Pumped as I'm ascending my gaming level to the higher plane (upgrade from 16:9 screen with older RX580 to ultrawide screen plus 5700XT).

Anyone have this monitor yet to test? I'm only hesitant because IPS is better for FPS games. And UW is almost unplayable for Overwatch

I have the 32" Nitro (Costco exclusive as well) and I beleive this ultrawide is the same panel as all the specs are the same (hdr400, 144hz VA, amd sync).

For a VA panel, the banding is almost none and I play tons of CoD-MW and also the beta Cold War and zero issues with ghosting. And I upgraded from a 27" IPS panel.

If anything, VA is much brighter than IPS and Acer usually calibrates their premium monitors from factory unlike other brands. On my Nitro, I didn't had to do any fine tuning via my AMD card other than changing the monitor mode to "HDR".

Also keep in mind these newer monitors are optimized for freesynch so your video card settings dictate the efficiency on how the monitor will handle the games. And also display port VS hdmi. On my current Nitro, hdmi locks freesync to 100hz while display port goes to 144hz.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I just got the monitor, hooked it up and here are my initial impressions:

1. Works at 144 Hz on DisplayPort, I had a leftover cable from a previous LG monitor.
2. G-SYNC works. I am using an RTX 2080. I used the G-SYNC demo to verify this.
3. OSD has some gamer features like crosshairs, refresh rate display
4. Text is sharp. Visual Studio Code looks great!

I can test PiP/PBP later, I do see options for those on the OSD

Let me know if there are other questions!

How is the brightness and colors? I have an older 34 Ultrawide (Asus MX34VQ) and a Nano-IPS 27 HP from this year and the brightness and colors on the HP blow the Asus away. If this is bright and has non-muted colors, I am in.

They reduce your FOV in 21:9 so you're at a disadvantage in that game

I feel they are quite good. I'm not picky about color though, I typically keep my screens dim because I'm programming most of the time. I will test it out when I game.

Thanks for the info.

Would you please verify if the stand is height adjustable?

It is not. It is just a metal...tripod. Probably a cost cutting feature.

I knew this before buying and was planning to mount on my VESA arm anyways. The monitor comes with long risers to provide VESA mounting.

Could you elaborate on how you define IPS as better for FPS games?

Because many Esports players only use TN, around 24", 240hz, and 1080p. Which is what my last monitor was. But I'm getting old and slow, I just want to enjoy the experience, so I'm switching to this awesome deal.

I only meant IPS is better than VA (this deal) for gaming. Esports will always be TN 24". VA is slow on dark colors 20-30ms
