It will retail for $2,500 and be accessible in North America within the upcoming quarter.
An extensive number of new items has been introduced by Acer at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024 in Las Vegas. One of these products is a 57-inch monitor that features a curve that is intended to expand your field of vision and make you feel more engaged in the setting of a game. The king-sized Predator Z57 sports a wide 32:9 aspect ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a Dual Ultra High Definition resolution, which is equivalent to 7,680 x 2,160 pixels when displayed. It is a MiniLED monitor that, according to Acer, is capable of achieving a brightness of up to one thousand nits, producing colors that are extremely accurate, and maximizing the contrast between light and dark for providing realistic visuals and dark situations with excellent picture quality.
Now, however, let’s return for a moment to that enormous amount of screen real estate. The picture-by-picture capabilities of the model allows you to split the display in half and show output from two independent sources, despite the fact that you can very well use the entire display for a single purpose. Due to the fact that it is equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports that are compatible with consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, you have the ability to play two games simultaneously if that is something that you would like to experiment with. In addition, you might make use of its picture-in-picture feature to display an output that is distinct from the primary one within a more compact inset window configuration. At the beginning of the second quarter of this year, the Predator Z57 will be made available in both North America and Europe, with prices beginning at $2,500 and €2,399, respectively.
If you are interested in purchasing a curved monitor but do not want all that real estate and believe that $2,500 is a bit excessive, Acer has also introduced a 34-inch display that costs $900 when it was shown at the event. In terms of resolution, the Predator X34 V3 is a 34-inch MiniLED model that features a 21:9 ultrawide QHD, which is equivalent to 3,440 x 1,440. The manufacturer claims that it features a refresh rate of 180Hz, which enables it to deliver fluid gaming experiences with little ghosting. During the second quarter of the year, the model will also be made available for purchase.
In addition, it appears that Acer is making yet another attempt to bring about the realization of 3D gaming with the Predator SpatialLabs View 27 motherboard. It is the most recent addition to the brand’s series of stereoscopic 3D displays that do not require the use of glasses; nonetheless, you are able to convert to 2D output on its 4K screen at anything time. Starting in the second quarter of the year, the model will be made available in North America for a price of $1,999. It will also be available in Europe within the first quarter of the year.
