    The problem with leaving the packing film on things is that in many cases (not all, but I've seen this multiple times in my line of work) is if people leave them on but use that item, and especially if they handle it physically (like a camera) on a regular basis, little tiny bits of it come up, and they can actually contribute to making a device even more scratched. Pockets of gunk, and possibly abrasive stuff can get into those little nooks and crannies formed by the wear, and then voila, you have more scratches now.

    Hate to be a critic here, but I had that monitor for about 2 hours. What happened is I brought it back to microcenter almost immediately. I had a Acer 32 inch flat panel that only did 170 hertz refresh, had adobe 99% color gamut, had a 0.5 milliseconds response time, and it had HDR 600 ultra. So I replaced this monitor with the new 34 inch ultra wide, turns out that DCI-p3 color gamut is one of the most bland color gamut in monitors. So this is what I did,, I replaced it with an Acer Predator 32 inch flat panel that has IPS display, 0.5 milliseconds response time,, HDR 600 ultra, Adobe RGB 99% color gamut,, and oh,, yeah,, 270 hertz refresh rate. Now I can understand the 34 inch ultra wide nostalgia, it looks cool, but the screen is subpar. When I had this monitor for 2 hours,, I tried a few games like Destiny 2, Gears 5,, and yes,, even doom eternal. The 34 inch had light screen flickering, that was with G-sync turned on,, had the same results with it off.. If you ask me,, for 900 dollars, you would be a lot happier with that Acer 32 inch that does 270 hertz,, oh I forgot to mention that it does 270 hertz in 2k in 2560 x 1440p FOR 900 DOLLARS,, review that one will ya..

    If he wants to keep the protect foils on. It's best to occasionally replace them. They will trap dirt and build rust at the edges of the plastic film. You can buy sheets of the stuff quite chip on amazon. Just get a nice pilot knife and a good cutting matt!

    I got a refurbished x34P on sale for $700 a few years ago, and its been an absolute dream monitor. Would I upgrade to this for an extra 60hz and HDR 400? No. But after covid, if you see a lightly used one selling for less....consider picking it up if this is your first ultrawide. Acer has surprisingly good monitors at the high end.

    I am glad that the price of these full featured Ultra wides are going down. Back in 2015 I got an LG 34um88p for $550 from Newegg as an open box deal, originally 1,100. Over the past couple years, the 60 hertz refresh rate is kind of limiting me even though the rest of the monitor is excellent with IPS colors 10 bit color depth, etc. in order to get that extra refresh rate though, I would have to buy something that compromises against features I already have. Seems like this year might be the year that they'll finally have something that's equal to or better in every way compared to what I have, for a price that won't punish me down the line.

      ive been in the computer sales, building, and repair scene for 2 decades. acer for the longest time was basically a walmart brand. then around 2015, the shop i was working at got several of acers new high end monitors. and they were EXCELLENT compared to the competition, both in cost and quality. and im happy to say that their predator lineup just keeps getting better. yes, they (as well as everyone else) make some really cheap stuff that you should stay away from, but their better stuff is really that, it's just getting better. props
