What customers say about "Connectivity"
Acer XR342CK 34" Curved QHD Monitor HDR Ready with Adaptive-Sync
- HDMI (at least cable I had, not one it came with) seems to be working at 75hz, at least thats what it is showing in games.
- On both DP and HDMI the games automatically start at 60fps.
- Multiple hdmi inputs allow me to watch cable and/or firestick on one side of the monitor while doing work on the other half of the monitor.
- Connecting the 2012 MacBook Pro with an HDMI cable gives you the full resolution.
- The bad part is I often lose the audio part of the HDMI on Windows PC.
ASUS MX34VQ Curved Monitor
- 3 HDMI and 3.5mm PC audio output are huge pluses and rare.
- Plug and play. The monitor auto-selects inputs with connected devices.
- No input lag when playing games. Amazing numbers of connectors.
- Connection options are excellent. Highly recommend.
- Connecting via HDMI to a Windows 10 PC is wonky at times.
