Pros
Pro Excellent for gaming
Because of its responsiveness, motion handling capabilities, and picture quality, the Acer Z301CT is among the best gaming monitors on the market.
Additionally, the monitor comes with a bunch of gaming-specific features, such as G-Sync and FPS counter, and an integrated Tobii eye tracker, that can be used in multiple games and ppliactions.
Pro Exceptional picture quality
The Acer Z301CT offers the picture quality that only a couple of other gaming monitors can match. Its native contrast ratio, peak brightness, color accuracy, and gamma are superior to what the competitors offer.
The monitor’s premium quality AMVA panel displays eye-catching images, with intensively deep blacks, rich and vivid colors, and lifelike intermediate tones and highlights. The dark scenes look amazing thanks to the monitor’s native refresh rate, that is measured at 2856:1. Colors look crisp as the Z301CT can get up to 355 nits bright. The mid tones and highlights look saturated thanks to the panel's gamma, that is only 2.3% off from being ideal.
Furthermore, the monitor's overall color inaccuracies are so minor that the human eye can’t detect those.
Pro Excellent motion handling
The monitor does an excellent job of motion handling because of its low full pixel response time, integrated ULNB feature, and a highly responsive 144 Hz panel.
The monitor doesn’t suffer from ghosting because its four milliseconds full pixel response time ensures that fast-moving objects don’t leave overly long traces on the screen, as it allows each of the panel's pixel to change its color within only 4 ms.
The monitor’s ultra-low-motion-blur feature eliminates the motion blur as it makes the monitor strobe and behave CRT-like.
The overall motion looks genuinely fluid because of the monitor’s 144 Hz panel, which refreshes so quickly, that the image transitions look perfectly smooth to the human eye.
Pro Decent responsiveness
The monitor’s high responsiveness makes it feel like it’s an actual extension of your body, as it’s input lag of only 6.8 ms is too low to be sensed even in the fast-paced games.
The monitor’s input lag corresponds to the time delay needed by the monitor’s hardware to process a frame generated by a computer’s GPU.
Pro Has an eye tracker
You can use the monitor's integrated Tobii eye tracker in multiple games, including Assassin's Creed: Origins, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and many more. Currently, there are more than 60 games and applications that support Tobii eye-tracking technology.
The eye tracker itself is highly polished and accurate.
Pro Great for widescreen gaming
In the majority of new games, the Acer Z301CT will give you the advantage of having a wider field of view compared to those who play on 1920x1080 panels because of the monitor’s 2560x1080 resolution. It has a very noticeable impact in many FPS games, like Battlefield 1 and TF2, where the extended side view lets you spot your enemies faster.
