Been keeping an eye out for a price drop on this monitor as it seems like a good price for the size. Next cheapest price is $539 at Centrecom.

It also looks like they have open box for $399 available too.

    2560x1440 on that size is a joke.

      Reality is only 3% of people on steam play at 4K, not many people can run 4K. More than 60% still play at 1080p and I'd say out of this 60% a lot of them have 27 inch monitors which has a slightly better pixel density then this so it would be comparative for average gamer.

        It's not just about the resolution, there is nothing wrong with 2560x1440 itself, but there is something wring with it on a 38.5 inch screen

        A lot of them are on laptops or ancient PCs playing old games. Steam data is pointless for identifying desktop monitor trends.

        Also you're completely off on the pixel density assessment…

        4k had been viable for ages. It's just for some reason people expect ray tracing too. Turn one or two settings off max and bingo it's fine (unless you want 200hz)

          I agree you'd want 4k with this size monitor it's definitely a budget option, 4k associated extra costs just turns people off it especially with newer titles after looking at benchmarks a 4070ti is almost becoming a minimum for 4k (I personally prefer to have 100hz+ over higher res and having to play below 80fps). 1440p seems to be the sweet spot for most people just due to the extra associated costs for little benefit to the average consumer.

    But it is cheap…may be good enough for office/productivity use?

      For productivity, You can spend less and still get a 32" 1440p 144hz monitor which is around $300-ish.

      eg https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/812295

      There's also the Dell S3422DWG for $473, which is an ultrawide (more pixels on the side = 2 windows open side by side)

      • lookingforadeal7 on 18/11/2023 - 12:15

        Yeah I personally had a 32 inch monitor and was probably the perfect size for me any bigger and I'd have to sit a decent length away from it would suit people who mainly use controller.

      You're better off with a 32" 4K I reckon

    I loved the "tech reviewer" review. Every new section started with " based on our analysis we found…"

    https://www.techreviewer.com/tech-specs/acer-xz396qu-pwmiipp…

    They begin "As PC gamers…"

    I suspect they moonlight as NPCs when the lab they were coded in is not working.

    "Analysis" was a pretty heavy duty term for " …that in the manual, it said…"

    Looks like a nice buy tho, especially the open box offer.

    PPI is slightly worse than a 1080p 27 inch monitor for reference.

    • MA87033 on 18/11/2023 - 12:16

      Must be horrible then

      • itscyanide on 18/11/2023 - 16:20

        Depends on viewing distance and what you're using it for.

        The PPI is indeed about the same as 27" @ 1080p, but it's also about the same as 55" @ 4k, which is perfectly fine for TVs.

    At this size really should be 4k
