Quality wise it's is superb. Really easy to setup and also has nice manual in case you feel difficulties in adjusting it. It is not height adjustable not it can be rotated. The 2 watt speakers are on the backside, it feels like low sound if you prefer to use it at a distance. I have been using it for past 7 months and I don't have any issues till now. HDR spectrum is visually good. It is full hd at 1080p, so with a large screen you may find it a bit low res, but that's noticible only if you are using 4k res for a long duration. Really nice product at a lower cost.

Goodfor the price.If you are already out searching for a good monitor, you might have already known that there has been a recent price drop on most of the monitors in India. Now, even after the price drop, this one, being around 15k, looked a little pricy, but it is worth it completely. The 2k resolution adds a lot of value compared to the alternatives I have looked online, and also the blue light filter is great, with room for adjustments to our liking. Now coming to the down sides it does not come with a lot of adjustments like height pivot etc it only have tilt adjustment but I think it should be fine as you can upgrade to a VESA mount to have those features there is a little bit wobble as well but again a VESA mount will solve this as well. One major concern is there is a little bit of light leakage from the corners I wouldn't call it screen damage or anything but it is slightly noticeable when the background is black for other colours it is not at all noticeable. PS: The pictures I am adding are taken while the blue light filter is at max

I will not talk about Gaming side of this monitor, cause first of all gaming is not the only purpose to buy a monitor. Creative Works and other aspect of entertainment are part of life. So in short as the monitor giving you 180hz, yes you can enjoy gaming. Now lets talk about the monitor why i think it its one of the best. The price point it comes in 17k, there are LG wide monitors between 17-20k price point, you can go for them if you don't trust Acer. But they will not provide you more than 100hz refresh rate, they will give 99 percent SRGB. Where in Acer you will get 100 percent srgb as well as good value of DCIP3 with impressive Delta Value (E<1). It comes out of the box Calibrated, as Delta Value is Impressive Color Accuracy is Top Notch. Lg will give you HDR10 most probably, Acer Providing you HDR400, which is better. Usually under 20k, companies doesn't provide us with True 8bit panel, they use 6bit panel with FRC technology to make the color pop out as 8bit. Yes normal people can't differentiate between FRC 8bit and True 8bit if they watch side by side in most cases. But the people who works with color grading they will need exact color re production from their photos or videos, true 8bit will give them advantage. Now another impressive part of this monitor is, the panel supports 10 bit color also. You have to sacrifice some refresh rate from 180hz to 120hz to enable the 10bit color. This monitor use FRC technology to support 10bit colors. Can you imagine in 17k you are getting such a panel and color accurate monitor. It's no brainer, even Asus Pro art, Benq can't provide you these much things in that price point. Build Quality is decent, the Stand is totally made of Metal and the monitor's body is made of Plastic which doesn't make sound or squeezed. They provided you nipple joystick to navigate the menu of the monitor as well as they gave some switches. So go for this monitor if you are a graphics designer, a video editor, a photographer, a videographer, a content creator or if you want a monitor to enjoy Movies and Series go for it.Let me give couple of Cons, the panel has backlight bleeding which is very minor. U can see that if you are watching content in dark room with Black or Dark scene going on. Maybe you can see very minor bleed of grey on top and down corners. If there is no dark scenes you can't find any bleed of light. Most of the panel under 20k has minor bleed and IPS glow, it's common. Bestselling monitor of Gigyabite also has that issue. That's where BENQ, ASUS, LG, SAMSUNG best at, in most cases you will not find any Bleeding and they comes more priced than this monitor. Another Con i will say if they could have provided a small usb hub and 3.5mm jack for head/earphones behind the monitor it would have been really helpful. Speaker is 'blaaa', not that good. Suggest to use Headphones, Earphones or speaker for sound. And for gamers u can find other reviewers for your specific query, if you need something more after reading my review. Peace.

Acer XZ306CX Ultrawide Curved Monitor – Disappointing After-Sales SupportI purchased the Acer XZ306CX 29.5 Inch Ultrawide 21:9 Curved Monitor on September 13, 2024, impressed by its sleek design, 1500R curvature, and immersive display specifications (2560 x 1080 resolution). Initially, the performance seemed promising, with vibrant visuals and smooth functionality. However, my experience took a sharp turn for the worse.Product IssuesAfter just three months of moderate usage, on December 30, 2024, the screen developed severe screen bleeding, accompanied by large black spots and black lines running across the display. Hardware failure can happen, and I was prepared to rely on Acer’s three-year warranty to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, Acer’s after-sales support turned out to be a nightmare.Customer Service Experience1. Contacted Acer India via Email:I sent an email describing the issue and attached both the invoice and photos of the defective screen. To my surprise, their response was dismissive—they labeled the issue as customer-induced damage without even inspecting the product.2. Called Acer India Support:Hoping for better support through phone calls, I was met with the same rigid stance. The team outright refused to provide assistance, neither assigning a technician nor directing me to service centers.Amazon to the RescueWhen Acer failed to honor their warranty, I turned to Amazon customer support. Thankfully, they reviewed my case, intervened, and successfully processed a refund for the product. Without Amazon’s help, I would have lost my money entirely.Final ThoughtsWhile the monitor’s design and specifications initially seemed appealing, the lack of reliable after-sales service and unprofessionalism from Acer India made this the worst purchasing experience I’ve ever had.Pros:• Good display specs (when functional)• Sleek, immersive designCons:• Screen failure within 3 months• No inspection or accountability from Acer India• Poor warranty handling• Unhelpful customer supportIf you’re considering buying this monitor, beware of Acer India’s poor warranty service. Unless you’re prepared to deal with unresponsive support, I suggest exploring brands with better after-sales service.Rating: 1/5The product failed, but the real disappointment was Acer’s unwillingness to support their customers.
