Score Big Savings: Acer’s Stunning 34-Inch Curved Monitor Goes Down to $200 at Newegg

If you’re looking for an excellent deal on a budget gaming monitor, the Acer Nitro 34 is currently available for one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen. The Nitro 34 (EDA343CUR Hbmiippx) typically retails for $270, but Newegg currently offers the monitoron sale for a low $199.99 .

That price includes a large 34-inch curved UWQHD panel (3440 x 1440) with a 1000R curvature, a 1 ms response time, and an anti-glare coating. You’ll also find Acer’s ZeroFrame design, which features minimal bezels around the display panel. Despite the low price, you’ll even find support for RGB lighting, which is a boon for gamers who like a dash of color on their hardware.

The only significant compromise is the maximum refresh rate, which is 100 Hz with AMD FreeSync support. We would have liked to have seen at least 144 Hz, but that’s probably too much to ask for a panel of this size that’s dipping into sub-$200 territory.
