New Displays Target Gaming and Creative Work
Acer announced four new monitors alongside a laser projector designed for gaming and home cinema environments. The gaming lineup includes the Predator XB273U F6, Predator X34 F3, and Nitro XV270X P, each offering different combinations of refresh rate, resolution, and panel technology. A 6K ProDesigner PE320QX monitor expands the company’s offerings for creators who need high color accuracy and detailed visuals. The Vero HL1820 RGB laser projector rounds out the announcement with a focus on energy efficiency and 4K UHD playback.
The Predator XB273U F6 is a 27‑inch gaming monitor built for esports players who prioritize speed. It features a native 500 Hz refresh rate and can reach 1000 Hz through Dynamic Frequency and Resolution mode at 1280 × 720 resolution. Motion clarity remains a central focus, with the panel designed to minimize blur and ghosting during rapid gameplay. Its 2560 × 1440 IPS display supports wide color coverage, a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, and 350‑nit brightness for consistent image quality across broad viewing angles.
Connectivity includes dual HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4, audio out, and integrated speakers. The stand supports tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments up to 5.9 inches to accommodate different setups. Users can also rely on VESA mounting for additional flexibility. Acer’s Smart Dial remote provides quick access to brightness, volume, and other settings without reaching behind the display.
Predator X34 F3: QD‑OLED Immersion
Acer’s Predator X34 F3 combines a curved 34‑inch QD‑OLED panel with a 360 Hz refresh rate for smooth motion and high contrast. Its 3440 × 1440 resolution and deep blacks contribute to a more immersive gaming experience. A 0.03 ms minimum response time helps reduce motion artifacts, while AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support maintains fluidity during demanding scenes. The monitor’s color performance is enhanced by a 99% DCI‑P3 gamut and 10‑bit color (via dithering).
Brightness peaks at 500 nits, and the Adaptive Contrast Management system reaches a 1,000,000,000:1 ratio for improved detail in highlights and shadows. Ergonomic adjustments include tilt, swivel, and height movement up to 5.9 inches. Dual 5‑watt speakers are built in for convenience. The display connects through DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 ports to support high‑refresh‑rate output.
Nitro XV270X P: 5K Resolution Meets 330 Hz Speed
The Nitro XV270X P is a 27‑inch IPS monitor designed for users who split their time between gaming and creative tasks. It offers a 5120 × 2880 resolution at 165 Hz through HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4, delivering sharp detail and vibrant color. When higher responsiveness is needed, its DFR mode enables 2560 × 1440 at 330 Hz for smoother motion. AMD FreeSync Premium, a 0.5 ms minimum response time, and a 1,000,000,000:1 contrast ratio support fast‑paced gameplay.
HDR400 certification allows peak brightness up to 400 nits, and the display covers 95% of the DCI‑P3 color space. Connectivity includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, audio out, and dual 2‑watt speakers. The stand supports tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments up to 5.9 inches. These features make the monitor adaptable to a wide range of desk configurations.
ProDesigner PE320QX: 6K Detail for Professional Workflows
Acer’s ProDesigner PE320QX is a 31.5‑inch monitor aimed at creators who require high resolution and accurate color. It supports 6016 × 3384 resolution at 60 Hz across HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB‑C, ensuring compatibility with modern workstations. The panel covers 99% of Adobe RGB and 98% of DCI‑P3, offering 1.07 billion colors through an 8‑bit + FRC configuration. A 4 ms response time and a 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio help maintain clarity in fast‑moving content.
The display is VESA DisplayHDR certified, with HDR600 mode enabling peak brightness of 600 nits. Acer’s Reflection‑Free panel reduces glare, improving visibility in bright environments. Viewing angles reach 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically, maintaining consistent color from different positions. Ergonomic adjustments include tilt, swivel, and height movement up to 4.72 inches.
Connectivity options include HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, USB‑C input with 100W power delivery, and USB‑C output at 15W. AI ProxiSense detects user presence and automatically enters sleep mode when the workspace is empty, reducing energy consumption. Dual 5‑watt speakers are integrated for convenience. These features position the monitor as a flexible tool for hybrid work and studio setups.
Acer’s push toward higher refresh rates reflects a broader industry trend, as competitive gaming increasingly demands displays capable of extreme responsiveness. Interestingly, the 1000 Hz milestone reached by the Predator XB273U F6 aligns with research suggesting diminishing perceptual returns beyond several hundred hertz, yet esports professionals continue to seek every possible advantage. This new lineup shows how manufacturers are experimenting with both resolution and speed to meet diverse user needs.
