Acer has announced the release of two 27-inch LCD gaming monitors. Both new products use backlight modules based on quantum dot technology (Quantum Dots). Important advantages of this technical solution compared to currently widely used LED backlight modules are a wider color gamut and reduced power consumption while maintaining the same brightness level.
“Our line of gaming monitors has been expanded with two new models created using Quantum Dot technology. Modern gaming reality is closer than ever to the real world,” said Victor Chien, president of Acer’s monitors and projectors business group. – Predator X27 delivers stunning visuals with 4K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate and Acer HDR Ultra technology. Our new Acer Predator Z271UV will also delight fans of computer games, because the curved display will convey the finest shades of any color and enhance the effect of presence.”
The Acer Predator X27 monitor screen has Ultra HD resolution (3840×2160 pixels). Maximum brightness is 1000 cd/m2, pixel response time (GtG) is 4 ms, viewing angles are 178° on both axes. The color gamut of this model covers 99% of the Adobe RGB space.
This display features Acer HDR Ultra technology for maximum contrast and high dynamic range, while advanced local dimming divides the screen into 384 sections and lets you control the backlight in each section.
The maximum frame refresh rate at 3840×2160 resolution is 144 Hz. Support for NVIDIA G-Sync image synchronization technology has been implemented.
The design of the standard stand allows you to adjust the height and angle of the screen, as well as rotate it left and right.
The Acer Predator Z271UV monitor screen has a curved shape (curvature radius – 1.8 m) and a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels. The color gamut of this model covers 125% of the sRGB space. The pixel response time is as low as 1ms (GtG) and the maximum frame refresh rate is 165Hz. This allows for high image clarity even when displaying fast moving objects. Support for NVIDIA G-Sync image synchronization technology has been implemented.
To connect video sources, the Acer Predator Z271UV monitor has DisplayPort and HDMI inputs. The display panel housing has a 4-port USB 3.0 hub. To reproduce sound, there is a built-in stereo speaker with a power of 2×7 W with Acer TrueHarmony technology.
One of the interesting features of the Predator Z271UV is the built-in Tobii controller, which, using non-contact optical sensors, can track the user’s gaze direction. If this function is supported in the games you are using, this makes it possible to control the movement of the sight, camera or virtual character using your gaze.
The design of the standard stand allows for height adjustment (within 120 mm) and screen tilt angle (from –5 to 25°), as well as its rotation left and right (up to 30° in each direction).
Both new products feature a suite of Acer VisionCare technologies, which includes Flickerless (to eliminate backlight flickering), BluelightShield (to reduce the intensity of the blue component in the spectrum of light emitted by the screen) and ComfyView (providing gradual dimming of the screen). These solutions make it possible to minimize the load on the user’s visual apparatus and thereby provide the most comfortable conditions during long gaming battles.
Acer Predator X27 and Predator Z271UV monitors will go on sale in our country in the third quarter of this year. Retail prices of new products will be announced separately.
