Up to 1000 Hz refresh rate! Acer presents the fastest gaming monitor ever

Acer has renewed its offering of high-performance monitors aimed at gamers and content creators. The new range, divided between the Predator and Nitro families, introduces diverse hardware solutions ranging from 3D visualization without the need for visual aids to the use of extremely high refresh rates supported by dynamic scaling logics. All models presented include support for tearing reduction technologies, with compatibility spread across AMD FreeSync Premium, FreeSync Premium Pro, and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible.

Predator Line: Solutions for Immersiveness and Competitive eSports

The first model presented is the Predator XB273K 3D, a 27-inch display based on an IPS panel with a native resolution of 4K UHD (3840x2160 pixels) and a refresh rate of 180 Hz over both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. The technical peculiarity of this device lies in the integration of an eye-tracking system assisted by a locally executed artificial intelligence model. This architecture allows the conversion of standard 2D video streams into stereoscopic 3D images without requiring native assets. The management of the three-dimensional component is delegated to the proprietary SpatialLabs 3D Hub application. In terms of panel specifications, the monitor boasts a brightness of 400 nit, a 95% DCI-P3 color space coverage, and a minimum response time of 0.5 ms GTG.

For the strictly competitive environment, Acer proposes the Predator X34 F1, a 34-inch monitor in a 21:9 format characterized by a curved panel (1800R) with QD-OLED technology. Structurally, this model implements Penta Tandem technology, which is based on a five-layer blue light emission configuration designed to enhance luminous efficiency and mitigate panel wear over time. The display operates at a resolution of WQHD (3440x1440) with a refresh rate of 360 Hz and a response time of 0.03 ms GTG. The technical sheet highlights chromatic precision with a Delta E.

Acer Nitro Series: 5K Resolution and DFR Standard Adoption

The Nitro range introduces DFR (Dynamic Frequency and Resolution) technology, a system that allows complementary variation of the spatial resolution and temporal refresh rate of the display to adapt to different usage scenarios. Here are the monitors presented at Computex:

Acer Nitro XV345CKR P: A 34-inch curved monitor featuring a VA panel with a 5K WUHD (5120x2160) resolution and a Mini LED backlighting system structured on 1344 independent dimming zones. Leveraging DFR technology, the display can operate at 180 Hz at maximum resolution or switch to WFHD (2560x1080) mode to achieve 360 Hz. It is certified with VESA DisplayHDR 1000, with 95% DCI-P3 coverage and a native contrast of 4,000:1.
Acer Nitro XV320QX: A flat 31.5-inch model based on Fast IPS technology, addressing both content creation and gaming. The native resolution is 5K (5120x2880) with a refresh rate of 165 Hz, but the DFR switching allows lowering the resolution to QHD (2560x1440) while raising the frequency to 330 Hz. It features DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 inputs, a response time of up to 0.5 ms GTG, and Acer HDR400 certification. It comes with the physical control system Acer Smart Dial and an infrared remote control.
Acer Nitro XV273U F5: This 27-inch display with a Fast IPS panel aims to maximize frame rate fluidity. At a native resolution of QHD (2560x1440), it supports a maximum refresh rate of 540 Hz. By enabling DFR mode, the resolution reduces to the HD (1280x720) standard, allowing the panel to reach a refresh rate of 1000 Hz. The monitor supports VRB Pro technology for motion blur reduction and offers VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification. Aesthetically, it stands out with a two-tone casing featuring a white back and base contrasted with black front bezels.
