During the Next@Acer livestream, Acer unveiled multiple products - laptops for gaming and work, gaming desktops and of course, gaming monitors. In this news article, the company revealed three new Predator monitors - the Predator CG437K S, X38 S and the X28 for hardcore gamers and FPS fanatics. Here's what you need to know.

 

Predator CG437K S 

The Predator CG437K S is a massive 42.5-inch NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible gaming monitor with a UHD (3840x2160) resolution. For those who crave high refresh rates, you'd be glad to know that there is a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports that allow 4K 144 Hz with VRR. There is also a USB hub that offers a USB-B port, a pair of both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports to support an array of peripherals, plus a USB Type-C (PD30W) port.

Other notable features include RGB lighting strips, Acer ColorSense, Acer LightSense and Acer ProxiSense

To add on, the monitor has a built-in KVM switch that connects multiple PCs and the display is VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certified. That's not all, the peak brightness is 1000 nits and offers the highest accurate colour representation thanks to the Delta E<1 rating and 90% DCI-P3 colour gamut. Of course, NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatibility is available too. 

 

Predator X38 S

If you want more than that, this is where the Predator X38 S comes in. It's a 2300R curved UWQHD+ (3840x1600) monitor boasting a DCI-P3 98% wide colour gamut, Delta E<2 rated and VESA DisplayHDR 600 certified. The refresh rate can be overclocked up to 175Hz and the response time is as low as 0.3ms G-to-G. Measuring at a humongous 37.5-inches, the gamers can pre-set a customizable display mode to their preference alongside NVIDIA G-SYNC Esports Mode for competitive gaming at the lowest possible latency.

Another NVIDIA technology is the Reflex Latency Analyzer. It's a system latency measurement tool that detects clicks coming from the mouse and then measures the time it takes for the resulting pixels (i.e., a gun muzzle flash) to change on-screen, while the NVIDIA G-SYNC ULTIMATE enables smooth, fast-paced gameplay by eliminating screen tearing, minimizing display stutter and cutting down on input lag.

 

Predator X28

Last but not least, the Predator X28 is a 28-inch UHD (3840x2160) IPS monitor that is VESA DisplayHDR400 certified with up to 155Hz refresh rate (overclocked) + 1ms G-to-G response time. Like the monitor above, it also features NVIDIA G-SYNC, G-SYNC Esports Mode and NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer.

Of course, Acer LightSense, ColorSense and ProxiSense are pre-installed in the monitor to look good in any lighting. To also protect the user's eyes, BlueLightShield Pro manages high-energy wavelengths to selectively filter out blue light emissions while maintaining Delta E<1 colour accuracy. The Predator X28 is a TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe-certified gaming monitor.
