Right now, the Acer store is selling a 31.5-inch AOPEN HC1 curved 1440p
display for $230. That’s a savings of $70 off the MSRP and
better than you’ll find elsewhere right now.
We haven’t reviewed this monitor, but it has a 4.5 star rating on Amazon and over 1,000 user
reviews. This VA panel monitor has a 178-degree viewing angle, a 4
millisecond response time, and a refresh rate of 144Hz. It’s
rocking FreeSync, of course, which allows for buttery smooth gaming
visuals when the graphics card and display sync their refresh
rates.
For ports, you get DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI. The DisplayPort
is necessary to hit those maximum refresh rates and don’t forget
you’ll need to manually activate that refresh rate inside
Windows.
This monitor also has a maximum brightness of 250 nits, which
should make visuals pop. While this monitor doesn’t support HDR,
the reality is that any display below 1,000 nits isn’t offering
true HDR anyway.
If you want to upgrade your video game experience without
changing your graphics card, this is the most cost effective way to
do it.
