Acer Unveils Several New High Refresh Rate Gaming Monitors (275Hz / 0.5ms)
Acer today announced new monitors sitting in the Predator and Nitro portfolios with three gaming monitors suited to a wide range of gamers, from elite professionals requiring top-of-the line technology to casual gamers who play for fun.
Additionally, Acer is the first to deliver TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe -certified gaming monitors that have been specially designed to emit less high-energy blue light than industry-standard LCDs.
"Our newest gaming monitors feature the industry's latest technology to give gamers smooth performance and comfortable ergonomics," said Victor Chien, President, Digital Display Business, Acer Inc. "Designed to appeal to the most power-hungry gamers, our Predator gaming monitors have proven their quality and reliability as a top choice of pro-gamers as well as those who just want to have fun. The new Predator and Acer Nitro monitors are available in a variety of designs and sizes to support just about anyone in the market for a gaming monitor."
Predator XB273U NX
The Predator XB273U NX gaming monitor is for gamers seeking a cutting-edge gaming experience. Packed full of the latest gaming and display innovations, the 27-inch monitor brings gamesto life with a WQHD (2560 x 1440) panel, 275 Hz refresh rate (overclocked) and up to a 0.5 ms response time (G to G), allowing it to deliver smooth and tear-free visuals even when fast-moving objects race across the screen. The HDR capable monitor covers 95% of the DCI-P3 spectrum to offer vibrant colors and deeper blacks, and its display is further enhanced by Acer's Agile-Splendor IPS[2] technology that makes crystal clear images possible even at wide viewing angles.
The recently launched NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer, a revolutionary system latency measurement tool that detects clicks coming from the mouse and then measures the time it takes for the resulting pixels (i.e., a gun muzzle flash) to change on screen, while NVIDIA G-SYNC provides tear-free gaming in addition to an expanded contrast ratio and color palette.
Predator XB323QK NV
The new Predator XB323QK NV is a 31.5-inch NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible UHD (3840 x 2160) gaming monitor with a rapid 144 Hz refresh rate. On top of the buttery smooth visuals that this technology entails, games look pleasantly vivid with the vibrant range of colors offered by the monitor's DCI-P3 90% Wide Color Gamut. It also includes Acer's Agile Splendor IPS and a VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.
Acer VisionCare 4.0
Both the new Predator XB3 series monitors feature Acer VisionCare 4.0, a comprehensive suite of technologies that help protect users' eyes during longer gaming sessions and tournaments. 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.
Both are among the first monitors in the world to be TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe certified. They rest upon Acer's ErgoStand, an innovative stand that gives users the freedom to adjust their monitor's swivel, pivot, tilt and height in order to find the perfect viewing angle.
Acer Nitro XV282K KV
The Nitro XV282K KV immerses users into spectacular worlds in incredible detail with its 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS panel, features a 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio to display sharp visuals and covers 90% of the DCI-P3 wide color gamut to allow for intense color representations. Also featuring AMD FreeSync Premium technology, the 144 Hz refresh rate panel boasts a 1 ms response time for speedy frame rendering. Additionally, the Acer Nitro XV282K KV comes with HDMI 2.1 and a cable for hassle-free support for the latest gaming consoles at 4K UHD 120 Hz with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate). The monitor has also achieved TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe certification and features Acer's new Agile-Splendor IPS technology to deliver clear images, even at wide viewing angles.
The new Acer Nitro XV2 series monitor features Acer HDR 400 and liquid crystal IPS for increased image quality, while Acer VisionCare 3.0 incorporates several technological innovations to help reduce eye strain experienced by heavy users such as programmers, writers and graphic designers. These technologies include LightSense, ColorSense, ProxiSense and BluelightShield Pro.

I am in the market for a new 1440p monitor so this one looks nice. Though would prefer 30-32inch than 27. I assume this is also with hdmi 2.1? 275hz is a tad overkill but nice to know it can go that higher for older games or e sport titles

You can get a 1440p 32" high refreshrate IPS monitor right now if you want, you have two choices, ASUS PG329Q or Acer XB323U GP both uses the same panel from au optronics. The main difference is that the Asus monitor has variable overdrive function and it has also ELMB-sync blur reduction mode, which allows you to benefit from the strobing backlight option to improve motion clarity in games, but at the same time as using G-sync/FreeSync, but the displayport is only v1.2 so 144hz and above the color space is limited to 8 bit while the panel itself is capable of 10 bit. The Acer lacks both variable overdrive and ELMB-sync, but it has a v1.4 displayport therefore it isnt limited to 8 bit above 120hz. I just bought the Asus PG329Q about a month ago and i`m really satisfied.

These prices have officially reached insanity for what they are. We're talking about a small screen using a technology that hasn't fundamentally changed in... realistically you could argue over 2 decades. You might as well buy a full blown OLED TV if your budget is "whatever I feel like" at this point, it's no longer the age of "TVs add 4 years of input lag". Yes there are 240Hz OLED TVs unless my memory is borked, and having true blacks for a real HDR experience is something no monitor out today delivers aside from the half an OLED one out.

Yeah, this monitor is dated and old. Not what I am looking for. having to use DP 1.2 limits it and basically makes it similar to my current monitor.
Don't care about overdrive personally, I think it's terrible tech that normally makes colors, ghosting or something worse. Rather have a nice panel that is 3-5ms out the box, if it goes lower with overdrive fine, but not something I care about. The same with ELMB not that bothered about, but most likely due to the fact I don't care about overdrive or having insanely low latency, not a pro gamer so not something that is required or needed.
It is a nice monitor, and fairly decently priced, but it is also very limited, which most likely explains the cost. right now display port is behind, with hdmi 2.1 taking the front for the first time in a long while it is currently what I am after a 200+hz ips 1440p monitor that is between 27-32 inchs with HDR 600, and although the monitor you listed fits a few boxes its the HZ i care more about as I already own a 144hz monitor. Also based on the video you sent me the HDR on this seems to be pretty meh and has some issues. Have a similar issue with the G7
