Acer X34 OLED: The Beautiful and Curvy Gaming Monitor

Jeni_Odley · November 12

Standard flat-screen computer monitors have been around since the early 2000s and have become a staple in many households around the world. Curved monitors have gained popularity over the past few years, offering gamers and movie lovers an immersive experience that brings fantasy worlds to life. Sure, games and movies look great on flat screens nowadays, but curved screens add extra depth to viewing, taking advantage of our ocular and peripheral vision to offer captivating visuals.

Why are curved monitors better for gaming?

An immersive viewing experience is one of the oft-mentioned benefits of a curved gaming monitor. The display’s curves wrap around our field of vision, creating a more engaging visual experience. This design of this curvature mimics the shape of our eyes, meaning we can more easily focus on our media of choice. It also reduces the risk of eye strain over prolonged viewing periods. Let’s take a look at some more reasons why a curved monitor may be better for gaming.

1. Realistic 3D content

Curved monitors deliver on-screen depth and dimensionality, which helps content appear three-dimensional and more realistic. The world around us is not flat, so viewing media on a curved monitor makes it appear similar to the real world. This is particularly useful for gaming, as it gives gamers an enhanced sense of distance and positioning within the gaming world, which can improve their performance.

2. Wider viewing field

Curved monitors direct light to the viewer’s eye from different angles, allowing us to cover a larger field of view. Moreover, curved monitors also appear bigger, which creates a mesmerizing viewing experience. With curved monitors, viewers can absorb on-screen information without excessively moving their heads, which makes watching our favorite movie or playing games more comfortable.

3. Less distortion

Distortion creates blurry images and poor viewing quality. Flat monitors tend to have higher levels of distortion, especially with larger screens, as pictures are enlarged. Curved screens reduce distortion by taking advantage of light projection, and limiting distortion by aiming everything at the viewer, whereas flat monitors project images in a straight line. An added bonus is that curved monitors also reduce the impact of external lighting, minimizing glare and creating great visuals in all light conditions.

Are OLED monitors good for gaming?

Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) is a display technology used in television, smartphone, and tablet screens. Traditional LED and LCD screens require a backlight to light up pixels, whereas OLED screens generate light via organic compounds that give off light when an electric current is supplied. Individual pixels can be switched off with OLED displays, achieving deeper blacks, creating more vibrant colors, and enhancing energy efficiency.

OLED monitors are great for gaming, as they provide outstanding image quality and more expressive colors. An OLED monitor creates crisp and responsive visuals, making the gaming world appear more realistic and enhancing the overall experience.
