Acer Predator XR341CK 34" Curved Gaming Screen with G-sync

[5150Joker]

Well looks like my ROG may be going up for sale sooner than I thought! Acer seems to be on the verge of making my dream display sans OLED. It's going to be a 34" curved screen with 3440 x 1440 resolution featuring 144 Hz + G-Sync..do you see that? It's my drool.

Acer are set to release a couple of new gaming screens later this year in a large curved 34" size, and 21:9 ultra-wide format. There are apparently going to be two versions offered although we've not got the full spec or clarification of the differences yet. We know one model will be the XR341CK which we believe to have a 3440 x 1440 resolution. There is apparently going to be a 144Hz + G-sync and a non-G-sync option available although we're not sure of the product name differences. We haven't got confirmation of the panel technology being used either yet and product specs are still being finalised. There is suggestion from the information that we've seen that there will be a lower res 2560 x 1080 version as well, but again we're not sure of the details yet. More on these as we get them, but we're sure the thought of a 34" curved ultra-wide screen with 3440 x 1440, 144Hz refresh rate and G-sync is bound to be of interest to a lot of readers. Let's hope that's all true and works out.

These screens are expected to go in to mass production in Q2 2015 so availability is yet to be confirmed. No word on price yet either.

gonna have to imagine they wont be giving that away as most 21:9s come in at about a grand right now and only do 60 Hz

Dang...if only I had spare cash I would hold out for something like this. Sounds sweet.

Yeah the price isn't going to be pretty, I'm guessing $900-$1000 but I'd be pleasantly surprised if it was lower. Either way if the panel is solid and it doesn't have any QC issues, I'll dump my ROG Swift and grab it when the time comes.

No information about the panel type, that's a shame

I also hope they plan on making a FreeSync model too. I'm in the market for such a screen, so I want more options to chose from!

Pretty sure LG has a FreeSync version in the pipeline that's curved, at least I think I saw that somewhere. Also the original quote in OP does mention a non-GSync model so you may be in luck.
