Acer has unveiled a host of new products in its expanding Predator and Nitro gaming portfolio with the launch of four new gaming monitors that bring games to life, a next-level gaming chair and a complete set of gaming gadgets.

“Our battle-tested Predator gaming monitors have proven their quality and reliability as a top choice of pro-gamers and tournaments around the world,” said Victor Chien, President, Digital Display Business, Acer Inc. “We are now waterfalling our experience and technology to our Nitro series to make premium gaming experiences more accessible to users.”

The new Predator XB273K gaming monitor is for gamers looking for an incredible gaming experience. It brings games to life in ultra-high definition (3840x2160) immersion and features a rapid 144Hz refresh rate that provides wonderfully smooth images and tear-free gameplay when fast-moving objects buzz across the screen. NVIDIA G-SYNC eliminates screen tearing by adapting to the frame rate of the outputting device, resulting in buttery smooth gameplay that offers an unparalleled gaming experience. The IPS3 display panel features a wide colour gamut of 90% of the DCI-P3 colour space for vibrant colours that pop out and deeper blacks.

The Predator XB273K is ideal for users who want to be engrossed in gaming worlds. The monitor’s shielding hood lessens distractions during periods of concentration, and it features the Acer ErgoStand design that gives users the freedom to swivel, pivot and adjust height for maximum adaptability and viewing comfort. The XB273K is also designed to be easy on the eyes, featuring Acer VisionCare – a suite of technologies that help protect eyes during longer gaming sessions.

The new Acer Nitro XV273K monitor delivers extremely high refresh rates and ultra-high resolution, offering outstanding casual gameplay at affordable prices. These new IPS UHD monitors with AMD Radeon FreeSync1 satisfy gamers’ need for high-resolution gaming through a blazing fast response time of up to 1m and Visual Response Boost (VRB) for smooth, tear-free gameplay that doesn’t break the bank.

The Acer Nitro XV273K 27-inch monitor delivers true-to-life colour, and resolutions of 4K Ultra High-Definition (UHD) for a totally immersive gaming experience with ultra-wide viewing angles.

Boasting AMD Radeon FreeSync, the new Nitro monitors’ frames sync with the PC’s graphics cards to support dynamic refresh rates, eliminating screen tearing and minimizing lag. Integrated Visual Response Boost (VRB) decreases blur in fast-moving images to achieve the effect of a 1m MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time). With up to 144Hz refresh rates, the new Nitro XV273K monitor also includes High Dynamic Range (HDR) VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification for better contrast and colour accuracy and more vibrant colours.

The Acer Nitro gaming monitors come in three configurations: two In Panel Switching (IPS) models for wider viewing angles and colour accuracy, one in UHD and one in WQHD, and also a Twisted Nematic (TN) WQHD monitor for gamers wanting high brightness and power efficiency –

● Nitro XV272U P (IPS, 27” WQHD 144Hz, DCI-P3 95% WCG)

● Nitro XF272U P (TN, 27” WQHD 144Hz, DCI-P3 90% WCG)

Acer VisionCare with Flickerless, BlueLightShield, ComfyView and low-dimming technologies make viewing more comfortable during long periods of gaming. Outfitted with a VESA mount, the monitors can be hung on a wall to free up desk space, leaving more room for gaming controllers, mice and more. In addition, a ZeroFrame design maximizes viewing area and supports near seamless multi-monitor setups.

The all-new Predator Thronos reimagines the gaming chair for a new level of gamer. Its steel structure is 1.5 metres tall and comes in menacing dual-tone black with white or blue accents. It puts the gamer in the game through deep impact vibration, where the chair vibrates upon in-game impact. The chair is adjustable and includes an ergonomic seat design, foot rest, and a cabin that reclines up to 140 degrees. The overhead brace supports three 27-inch gaming monitors and a space for a Predator gaming PC. Integrated with a Predator PC and triple Predator monitors plus gadgets, the Thronos becomes more than a gaming chair – it’s a gamer’s cave.
