Acer draws the Predator X27, its ultimate gaming screen

To play well on PC, you need a good machine ... and also a great screen to enjoy the most demanding games. Acer and Nvidia have designed the Predator X27 to fill players looking for the perfect image. But be careful, it's expensive.

Are you looking for the ultimate gaming screen to enjoy your favorite PC games? Acer may have the one you need. The Taiwanese manufacturer has published - on the sly - on its website an entire page dedicated to its next monster, the Predator X27. And, on paper, he has everything from the ultimate monitor.

Here Acer signs its first 27-inch IPS 4K monitor (3840 by 2160 pixels) at 16: 9 ratio. Its refresh rate is announced at 144 Hz, with HDR 10 certification and it incorporates Nvidia G-Sync technology. Thanks to its foot and several integrated mechanisms, the slab is easily adjustable in height and can be moved both horizontally and vertically.

An eye tracking device is integrated into the screen (Tobii Eye Tracking technology) just like a light and color sensor. Thus, once activated, the screen would adapt the quality of the image to the environment of the player, on the fly.

Finally, in the box are three panels to be placed on the sides and top of the screen to limit glare and provide extra immersion in games.

Maximum brightness and contrast to the top advertised

By peeling the technical data sheet of the screen, we discover that the slab has more than one colorimetric advantage in its bag. It is certified 99% Adobe RGB, 100% sRGB and 96% DCI-P3. So much for lovers of beautiful pictures and photographers.

As for the brightness, it seems that the two sites (French and American) do not quite agree. The French version announces 600 cd / m2 maximum and the American 1000 cd / m2. No doubt the first gives the absolute value and the second the intensity recorded when the content displayed is compatible HDR 10.

The contrast ratio is given for 1000: 1 at both sites, and the response time displayed at 4 ms (gray-to-gray). HDMI and DisplayPort outputs are on the menu, as are two USB 3.0 jacks on the left side of the screen. We will also mention the presence of two small speakers.

The price ? This is where it may get stuck a little bit, Acer announces 2000 dollars in the United States: the pre-orders are open and deliveries will begin June 1 a priori. Contacted by us, Acer France could not give us information about its arrival or its price for France.

Finally, clarification that Asus already offers a monitor of this ilk in its ROG range, the PG27UQ, sold the bagatelle of 2500 euros in our country ...

Predator X27, one of the high-end displays put forward by Nvidia

As mentioned above, the Predator X27 monitor features Nvidia's G-Sync technology. As a reminder, this one harmonizes the rate of refresh of the slab of the screen and the number of images per second generated by the GeForce graphics card of a PC. It aims to limit the effects of tearing and slowdowns due to sudden drops in frames per second (fps). This technology is found on both PC monitors and some laptops.

So, to be simple, in the case of X27, with G-Sync enabled, 144 Hz = 144 ips maximum. If the 3D card only delivers 70 ips, then the monitor changes its refresh rate to 70 Hz.

This year, announcing CES 2018 in support, the GPU designer has also decided to put some of its development resources in favor of the image (HDR, G-Sync, etc.). is recently split from a small presentation.

During this event, Nvidia looked back at the G-Sync screen certification process and its efforts to encourage its partners to opt for Quantum Dots light panels.

Betting on the HDR 10 certification to sublimate the colors in the games and make sure to have a maximum of color certifications are also part of the guidelines proposed by Nvidia. To date, only a few titles are HDR-compatible, including Activision's Destiny 2, Square-Enix's Final Fantasy XV and EA's Mass Effect Andromeda.
