Acer has expanded its Predator gaming monitor line for hardcore gamers with four premium models designed to make gaming more immersive than ever with wide curved screens, spectacular picture quality, and smooth performance. The new monitors include a pair of 2304-zone MiniLED models, with the flagship Predator Z57, the largest of the group with a 57-inch DUHD (7680x2160) at 120 Hz display, and the Predator X34 V3 with a 34-inch panel, an immensely popular size for PC gamers. In addition, the powerful 39-inch Predator X39 and the 34-inch Predator X34 X with bright OLED displays offer smooth and captivating visual experiences with up to a 240 Hz refresh rate and blazing-fast 0.01 ms pixel response time.

Predator Z57
The massive 57-inch Predator Z57 with a DUHD (7680x2160) resolution at 120 Hz is a gaming goliath for conquering the fiercest battles. Leveraging the 2304-zone MiniLED technology, it provides superb picture quality and brightness when showing dark scenes and black backgrounds. The wide 32:9 aspect ratio and 1000R curvature draw users closer to the gaming environment and increases their field of vision when playing or working. In addition, top-of-the-line VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification ensures that it achieves up to 1000 nit brightness, produces highly accurate colors, and maximizes light and dark contrast to illuminate fine details, a total difference maker during intense gaming sessions. Combined with a wide DCI-P3 98% color gamut, the Predator Z57 creates visuals so realistic, it will thrill even the most experienced players.




The ultra-wide viewing area is ideal for multi-tasking along with productivity-enhancing features, which include picture-by-picture that splits the screen in half to showcase output from two different sources simultaneously, and picture-in-picture that divides the screen with displays on the main screen and another in an inset window. Two HDMI 2.1 ports support the latest consoles (PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series X), while a DisplayPort 1.4 port also provides fast and reliable connectivity. The Predator Z57 is also VESA-compliant for hanging on a wall to save desk space and its base is elegantly sleek, yet robust and offers adjustable height, tilt, and swivel to suit individual preferences. This model also has two powerful 10 W speakers to amplify sound effects.

Predator X34 V3
The Predator X34 V3 has a 34-inch curved MiniLED display with a 21:9 ultrawide QHD (3440x1440) resolution to support avid gamers with smooth performance and a broad view of the action for a competitive advantage. The 1500R curvature deepens immersion and improves peripheral vision, while the high DCI-P3 94% color gamut and VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification showcase titles in vibrant color and luminosity. A fast 180 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms (G-to-G) response time support fluid, uninterrupted gameplay with minimal ghosting. Excellent connectivity via two HDMI 2.0 ports and DisplayPort 1.4 lets players connect to the gamut of sources available today. The Predator X34 V3 can also be hung on a wall and has an adjustable height, tilt, and swivel to optimize viewing comfort. In addition, two 5 W speakers provide quality audio for games, music, and movies, and a wall mount is provided, making it ideal for console gamers.

OLED Models: Predator X39 & Predator X34 X
Acer's newest OLED models include the 39-inch Predator X39 and the 34-inch Predator X34 X, enabling high contrast for incredibly detailed images and ultra-fast refresh rates and response times for the smoothest possible performance. They also support accurate views, even at tight angles of up to 178 degrees. Both deliver UWQHD (3440x1440) resolution with up to a 240 Hz refresh rate and 0.01 ms pixel response time, ensuring gameplay is smooth and free of stutter and lag. The 800R curvature broadens the peripheral view and amplifies the line of vision to deepen engagement. A broad DCI-P3 99% color gamut supports a vast array of colors and shades, while VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 showcases details often hidden in the shadows so no details are missed. These new models are also Eyesafe 2.0 certified, and default to image retention refresh to help prevent eye strain.

Key Features in All New Models
All new models feature AMD FreeSync Premium that smoothly renders fast-paced action scenes without screen tearing and flickering. They also have a USB Type-C 90 W PD port to deliver display, data transfer, and device charging simultaneously, and a built-in KVM switch for swapping sources without having to reconnect peripherals.

Asus will sell maybe 12 of these monitors and make almost no profit.

The company that introduces a 28" 4K panel at 75Hz for less than £250, will sell billions and make hundreds of millions.

Why companies continue to concentrate on massive unrealistic resolutions and massive unrealistic refresh rates, amazes me. It's like they don't want to make money.

But that is because they haven't hired you yet! Let me message them right away to fire their marketing and research team and get you a job instead.

I'm looking forward to the Predator X34 X test.

Eh, I use a 7680x2160 57” panel as a daily driver for gaming / working. It’s amazing for productivity. I wouldn’t say it’s unrealistic.

Acer's profits are OK, rose from Q2 to Q3 2023 by 44%.

To quote from their financial presentation "...all segments of the company's PC business recorded a sequential growth in 3Q 2023. The notebook increased by 19.4%, the desktop rose by 27.8%. The Vero segment, which provides eco-friendly products, had a 28.2% growth. The gaming segment, which comprises laptops, desktops, monitors, and the group subsidiaries business, registered the growth of 29.7%."

So why would they change what they are doing?

Do you know what CES is? It’s basically one week of marketing spotlight to showcase the most extreme nonsense . Which item do u think will draw a bigger crowd - a cheap 4k panel reasonably priced or some gigapixel RGB thing with features too many to fit on one sheet? That’s why these halo products exist to create buzz. Half the shit at CES won’t even make it to full production. Those cheaper panels will come they’re just not the priority rn with CES happening

expecting CES to showcase reasonable products it’s like expecting supermodels to wear normal clothes on the runway… not gonna happen

It's cool that mini led is becoming more common but most displays, i.e. some previous ones from Acer, have a lot of firmware problems controlling the FALD backlight.

Yeah, there's a good reason Acer have the lowest score in Australia for products. High in specs, low in quality and support. Last brand I would ever touch. Even Asucks is preferable.

Okay *looks at system specs* It doesn't surprise me, a very powerful (and expensive I might add) is needed, and even so, I believe some GPU intensive games would require upscaling to run well enough at that res. I'd gotten a first gen 32:9 1080P 144Hz Samsung monitor years ago, and my humble but decently powerful rig can manage 3840x1080 natively with relative ease, good enough for now, will look at a 34" - 38" 21:9 UWD monitor should my Samsung die on me.

Still, I'm a believer of Acer quality, I have a 34" Acer XR341CK 3440x1440 75Hz monitor (bought years ago around the time it was first launched IIRC) and it's still doing a bang up job on my 2nd gaming rig.

Even if I had the cash I'd hold out on getting one until I saw some reviews.
The last few Acer monitors I looked at didn't have the handy joystick thingie on the back for navigating the OSD and getting around the menus felt like the bad old days.

Here in Belgium I had an issue with my Acer predator monitor, one of the dimming zone was too bright. Took contact with them and everything went flawlessly, they sent an UPS driver at their cost, changed the panel, sent me the monitor back. It was really a good experience (i was kind of scared when the issue happened, having read a lot about them). But everything went really smooth. Screen is still alive and working like a charm.

Why would they be re-branded, that's not how it works.
Yes, Acer is buying panels from Samsung, LG Display, AUO, BOE, Innolux, CSOT or whoever, but they tweak them, make custom display controller boards and custom housings. This is why not all monitors with the same display panel perform the same.
By your logic, then everyone that don't make their own display panels are just rebranding. That would make all the graphics card and motherboard makers rebranders as well...

So still no DP 2.x on any of these new displays, thanks but no thanks.
You got a DP 2.0 graphics card?

Yeah, there's a good reason Acer have the lowest score in Australia for products. High in specs, low in quality and support. Last brand I would ever touch. Even Asucks is preferable.
I would not, had nothing but issues with my expensive Asus ROG monitor, got the internal power board replaced once and the display panel twice, once because Asus engineer that replaced the power board got dust behind the original display panel...

Yes, procured a 7800XT recently for photo editing(Helicon) needs. Monitor is next thing in my upgrade list, planning to dump my dual displays for either single ultrawide or a 32" 4K screen.

I'm pretty sure the panel is from Samsung, but for the rest, I have no idea and as you can see, even from the product page, Acer hasn't been too forthcoming spec wise.

I guess it's DP 2.1 as DP 2.0 was superseded before it even launched.
That said, it seems like there are no display drivers with DP 2.x input readily available, which seems to be affecting all of the monitor manufacturers.

I own the samsung G9 57" and its the best monitor I have owned. 28" is way too small of a screen hardly anyone wants a tiny screen like that.

These will sell juuust fine. Not to mention, that anything under 100, but rather 120 Hz is a tasteless joke, and not just for gaming, which, by the way, these displays are clearly geared towards.


Spartanjet:

I own the samsung G9 57" and its the best monitor I have owned. 28" is way too small of a screen hardly anyone wants a tiny screen like that.
Not everybody wants neck pain prematurely or has the eyesight of a Tyrannosaurus, you know. Had a 32", which wasn't nearly as big, and it basically just collected dust for a year, so we parted ways.

Another high data bandwidth monitor without DP 2.1 port? So disappointing...

It looks like monitor vendors are really lazy and they are waiting for Nvidia to release 5000 series GPUs with DP 2.1 ports.
They will come back with the same and similar monitors next year at CES and shout: "We now offer DP 2.1"
What a nonsense...

You got a DP 2.0 graphics card?

He'd still have a point even if he didn't, monitors last more than GPUs

I guess it's DP 2.1 as DP 2.0 was superseded before it even launched.

Not exactly, DP2.1 is an update over 2.0 and VESA says every device they certified for 2.0 also met the updated 2.1 standard

At least VESA has the cables ready for you now...

They already existed, I guess cheaper ones can now be made available.

That said, it seems like there are no display drivers with DP 2.x input readily available, which seems to be affecting all of the monitor manufacturers.

I doubt it, more likely chicken and egg problem: someone needs to go first but nvidia dropped the ball so monitor manufacturers allowed themselves to continue to drop theirs

Longer passive cables as per the press release.
