VERDICT

The Z35P offers fantastic visuals and performance, but it’s simply too expensive

THERE ARE A handful of ultrawide gaming monitors on the market, offering various configurations at differing price points. On paper, the Acer Predator Z35P has almost the same specifications as the AOC AG352UCG, yet costs around £300 more. Is it worth the extra?

The Z35P gets off to a good start on build quality and design. Finished in a brushed grey aluminium shell with red accents, it looks great. The bezels are thin, but have an eye-catchingly chunky design, which may be a desired taste.

TURN OF EVENTS

The metal stand provides plenty of flexibility: it can be adjusted in height, tilted from -4º to 35º and swivelled by 20º. A handle makes it easier to pick up. At the back, there are four USB3 ports, one of which provides fastcharging capabilities for smartphones.

The onscreen display is accessed through a set of buttons found at the bottom right-hand side of the monitor. The interface is easy to get around and provides plenty of options, including an ‘overclock’ setting that boosts the panel’s refresh rate up from 100Hz to 120Hz.

For connectivity, there’s one DisplayPort and HDMI input apiece, plus a 3.5mm headphone jack output. Two internal 9W speakers go impressively loud, without distorting.
