It is not often that I look at refurbished products, but this one is an exception. This product is offered directly from Acer on an eBay account and comes with a 2-year warranty (through a partnership between eBay and Allstate).

Coupled with the substantial discount, this is definitely worth a look. Acer has reduced the price on eBay to $369.99 from a list price of $558.99. However, if you apply coupon code "PICKCR4MOM" at checkout, the price drops even further, down to $314.49.

The monitor is built around a curved 34-inch VA panel with a 3440x1440 resolution (21:9 aspect ratio) and has plenty of on-screen real estate. Refresh rates are 144 Hz via DisplayPort and 100 Hz when connected via HDMI cable, with a fast 1 ms response time.

It is also certified as a FreeSync Premium Pro display, supporting variable refresh rates that keep the screen in sync with the Radeon GPU to maintain smooth operation and handle HDR content. On the latter point, peak brightness of 400 nits is sufficient to earn the DisplayHDR 400 badge and FreeSync Premium Pro designation, but HDR is truly appreciated at 1,000 nits on LCD monitors.

Still, it technically checks the HDR box, but you won't be buying it just for that. Other features include a 100,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, two DisplayPort 1.4 inputs, two HDMI 2.0 inputs, and a built-in 80W speaker.
