Acer has announced new high refresh-rate monitors, allowing you to game with the framerate you want without straining your eyes thanks to special technology.
Announced as part of their CES 2021 lineup, these monitors are part of both Acer’s Predator gaming brand, as well as their Nitro line of products.
Predator XB273U NX (USD1099.99)
Display | 27″ |
Resolution | WQHD (2560 x 1440) |
Refresh Rate | 275 Hz |
This monitor is the height of luxury, sporting a 27-inch WQHD display supporting up to 275 Hz to ensure you get a smooth game experience. On top of that, it also has a lightning-fast response time, clocking in at 0.5ms so you’ll never have to worry about not getting the visual information you need on time.
Predator XB323QK NV (USD1199.99)
Display | 31.5″ |
Resolution | UHD (3480 x 2160) |
Refresh Rate | 144 Hz |
If breaking 250 fps isn’t as important as a big display, then look no further than the Predator XB323QK NV. This laptop trades the high refresh-rate of the XB273U NX for a much bigger display, along with a superior resolution.
That’s not to say it’s a slide projector, as the monitor still supports up to 144 Hz meaning you’ll still be able to do all your best gaming on it. But this will certainly be a grand way to watch your favorite shows in between matches, thanks to its DCI-P3 90% Wide Color Gamut.
Keeping Your Eyes Safe With Acer
Both of the Predator series monitors sport the new Acer VisionCare 4.0, a series of features to keep even the most determined gamer’s eyes safe from extended use.
Acer Nitro XV282K KV (USD 899.99)
Resolution | 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) |
Refresh Rate | 144 Hz |
While it may look similar to the Predator XB323QK NV, the new Acer Nitro monitor’s defining feature is its HDMI 2.1 support. This means it can support consoles like the PS5, being able to run it without using an older HDMI 2.0 cable. Thanks to its above stats it can also keep up with the PS5, being able to run games at 4K 120fps without a worry.
On top of that, you also get gorgeous colors thanks to its DCI-P3 90% Wide Color Gamut, so this really is the monitor you’re going to want to go with your fancy next-gen consoles.
