Acer Expands Its Predator Gaming Portfolio with Three New HDR Monitors | TechPowerUp
 
Acer has expanded its line of Predator gaming monitors with three new VESA DisplayHDR -Certified models: the Predator CG437K S, Predator X38 S and Predator X28. The new monitors target different niches by offering something that will excite a wide variety of gamers, whether weekend warrior or seasoned professional.

The Predator CG437K S is a massive 42.5-inch NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible gaming monitor with a UHD (3840x2160) display that strives to provide players with the most flexible experience possible, containing a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports that support the latest game consoles[1] and allow for 4K 144 Hz with VRR using only a single cable. A USB hub offers a USB-B port, a pair of both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports to support an array of peripherals, plus a USB Type-C (PD30W) port for good measure. Additionally, a built-in KVM switch simplifies the lives of those who juggle multiple PCs. Once users are all set up, the monitor's 144 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms VRB response time provide satisfying gameplay.
 
The monitor's VESA DisplayHDR 1000 Certification ensures that games look excellent for enthusiasts and that footage appears true-to-life for content creators. Outstanding local-dimming, peak 1,000 nits brightness and high contrast ratios help all of the details come to life, while the monitor's Delta E<1 rating and 90% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut provide highly accurate color representation. Completing the experience, NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatibility keeps the monitor and GPU in lockstep, allowing for buttery-smooth gameplay with no stutters or tearing.

A monitor that makes statements, the Predator CG437K S comes with RGB lighting strips that can be synced to music and media. It also features a range of thoughtful technology that allows the monitor to adjust to each user's environment: Acer ColorSense adjusts the screen's temperature to match the ambience of the environment, Acer LightSense detects ambient lighting and adjusts the monitor's brightness settings accordingly, and Acer ProxiSense automatically wakes the monitor when users are nearby or dims it when they aren't.
 
The Predator CG437K S will be available will be available in North America in November starting at USD 1,799.99; in EMEA in November starting at EUR 1,599; and in China in October, starting at RMB 9,999.

The Predator X38 S will be available will be available in North America in September starting at USD 1,999.99; in EMEA in September starting at EUR 2,199; and in China in August, starting at RMB 14,999.
 
The costs of all electronics including monitors continue to rise. I personally believe these monitors are overpriced.

    I agree, nice looking monitors but out of my price range.

    Old me had a negative perception of Acer but a few years ago I got the 49" super ultrawide monitor from Acer and it was a great monitor. I might have to buy one of these once they become available given my positive experience.
     
    4k at 144hz will require a monster GPU tho

    Damn I wish I had known earlier. I would have definitely waited for the Predator CG437K S. That thing not only looks great but has the specs that I want.

    These look beautiful, but this technology is going to have to come down in price before its adoption become more mainstream.  It looks promising, but that price range is not realistic for most people.  It will be interesting to see how many years it will take for that tech to come to a more affordable price point.

    Yeah the price will have to come down if they want more then 2% adoption rate for 4K.

    That x38 S is insanely overpriced.  You can get the LG version now for almost half.

    I'm pretty excited about the X38S, even if it does seem overpriced. I prefer an ultrawide over the 43" model they just announced. I'm hoping the resellers drop below MSRP pretty quick. Dell did with the Alienware model and LG did with their 38" variant.

    Are any of these monitors worth it over the Alienware 25 240hz monitor or should I just stick with trying to get me one of those

    Not to rag on the brand but I've always figured Predator is very much overpriced for what you get.. comparing to what you could get for an Argon or just an AOC
