Tech Insider

I've been using Acer's 32-inch 4K-resolution XB1 monitor with Nvidia's G-Sync technology for a few weeks now, and I can safely say that it's a fantastic monitor.

Playing games in 4K resolution brings sharpness, clarity, and detail to my video games that my cheap $150 1080p monitor could only dream of. And after using a huge 32-inch monitor for a while, it's hard to go back to my old 24-inch monitor's comparatively minute size.

The inclusion of Nvidia's G-Sync technology makes for ultra-smooth gameplay that doesn't suffer from screen tearing or stuttering, too.

Its $1,300 price tag ($1,235 on Amazon at the time of writing) is likely a deterrent to most people, save for the most enthusiastic of enthusiasts. Yet, if you've poured a bunch of cash into a powerful gaming machine, there's little point in using a low-end or even middling monitor. 

If you want to do justice to your powerful PC parts and only the most advanced tech will do, that's where Acer's XB1 with 4K and N-Vidia G-Sync comes in. Check it out.
