Why not steal a name from another display manufacturer? HP have recently announced their new X34 display, which is confusing when Acer have a model with the same name! Regardless, the new HP X34 offers a 3440 x 1440 ultrawide resolution IPS panel with a fairly rare flat format (not curved), combined with a 165Hz refresh rate and adaptive sync to support VRR from AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-sync systems.

HP X34 Specs

Spec wise the 34″ ultrawide IPS panel offers a 3440 x 1440 resolution, 1ms G2G response time, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 400 cd/m2 brightness, 178/178 viewing angles, 8-bit colour depth and a standard 99% sRGB colour gamut. Adaptive-sync is used to support VRR and accommodate the high 165Hz refresh rate (FreeSync Premium certified). We can barely bring ourselves to mention the so-called HDR 400 “support” here, with only the 400 cd/m2 brightness spec being relevant. There is no backlight local dimming, no 10-bit colour depth and no wide colour gamut offered on this model.

For connectivity there is 1x DisplayPort 1.4 and 1x HDMI 2.0 provided, along with an audio output. The stand offers tilt and height adjustments.

Update 12/8/21: The screen is listed on HP’s UK store at a price of £399.99. Availability is expected in October 2021
