Acer introduces three new monitors with high refresh rates. It concerns two 4k models with a refresh rate of 144Hz, one of which is aimed at consoles with HDMI 2.1 support. There will also be a 1440p model with a 275Hz panel.
The Predator XB273U NX is a 27 “1440p monitor that can be overclocked to a refresh rate of 275Hz and has a specified gray-to-gray response time of 0.5ms. It is a monitor with an IPS panel that provides 95 percent of can display the DCI-P3 color space. Nvidia G-Sync is supported and so is NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer. That is the name for a set of techniques to ensure fast response times. According to Acer, the XB273U NX ‘hdr- capable ‘, but there is no further explanation such as a specification of the maximum brightness or further clarity about a possible certification via the VESA DisplayHDR label.
Further comes Acer with the Predator XB323QK NV, a 31.5 “4k monitor with a refresh rate of 144Hz and Nvidia G-Sync support. It is again an IPS panel. This model includes the VESA DisplayHDR 400 label, which provides maximum brightness. of 400cd / m² is possible. It is a monitor that meets the minimum requirements to enable a somewhat acceptable HDR display. Furthermore, the XB323QK NV can display 90 percent of the DCI-P3 color space and there is support for Acer VisionCare 4.0 The latter is the marketing term that Acer uses for a number of techniques to help protect users’ eyes during longer gaming sessions or tournaments.
Finally, there is the Acer Nitro XV282K KV. This is also a 4k monitor with an IPS panel, the most eye-catching feature of which is support for HDMI 2.1, which allows the monitor to capitalize on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X’s ability to display 4k images at 120fps. can display. Variable Refresh Rate is also possible, although this is not yet supported by the PS5. The 144Hz screen supports FreeSync Premium, has a response time of 1ms and supports ‘Acer HDR 400’. The latter probably means, just as with the Predator XB323QK NV, a limited form of HDR, whereby the maximum brightness does not reach too high values and the backlight is not very suitable for it. This would be striking because at previous reporting reasonable hdr capacities were still assumed in the form of a DisplayHDR 600 label and a brightness of 550cd / m², but these elements are not mentioned by Acer at the moment. The Nitro XV282K KV also has VisionCare 3.0 and can display 90 percent of the DCI-P3 color space.
