It supports AMD FreeSync Premium, has a refresh rate of 144 Hz, and has a response time of 1ms. Supporting Xbox Series X and PS5, the device comes with IPS LCD technology and 28 inches in size while offering 3K UHD 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution.
Acer has also become the first to deliver TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe-certified gaming monitors that have been specially created to emit less high-energy blue light than industry-standard LCDs. The 27-inch Predator XB273U NX pictured above features a 2560x1440-resolution IPS display-PC gaming's sweet spot-but pushed to insane speeds. This massive increase in bandwidth is what allows the monitor to display games in 4K with a 120Hz refresh rate - you won't be able to hit the monitor's full 144Hz capability in UHD, however, but this is just a limitation of the HDMI technology.
The CES 2021 is here and that brings us with lot of new products and announcements. The company has introduced three gaming monitors that include Predator XB273U NX, Predator XB323QK NV and Acer Nitro XV282K KV all the features required for gaming to other professional needs. In addition to this, it has an NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer for pro gamers too which is a system latency measurement tool that detects clicks coming from the mouse and then measures the time it takes for the resulting pixels to change on the screen. Again Acer has deployed one of its Agile-Splendor IPS panels and this time it covers 90 per cent of the DCI-P3 spectrum, and has gained VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.
If you've moved beyond 1440p, Acer also unveiled a pair of 4K displays with speedy 144Hz refresh rates. Acer VisionCare 4.0 includes LightSense, for adjusting the monitor's screen brightness based on ambient lighting, in addition to AdaptiveLight, ColorSense and ProxiSense, a suite of technologies that measures environmental and ambient light to automatically adjust the monitor's brightness and color-temperature accordingly. It features Acer's Agile-Splendor IPS technology that makes crystal clear images possible even at wide viewing angles.
