Acer unveils new Predator gaming monitor with new revolutionary NVIDIA technology

Acer announced on September 4 that it will be expanding its line of Predator gaming monitors with two new 27-inch displays that will come with NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar technology.

NVIDIA announced Pulsar at the start of the year, and the new technology is an evolution of the company's G-SYNC technology, a piece of hardware dedicated to improving latency, motion clarity, and reducing motion blur to produce an overall crisper image. Pulsar is an evolution of that and with NVIDIA's partnership with MediaTek, the new technology is coming to MediaTek scales, removing the need for additional hardware.

Moreover, MediaTek is one of the market leaders in monitor scales, meaning the suite of impressive NVIDIA-created technology will be coming to more gaming monitors than ever before. So, what is Pulsar? The new technology is an upgrade to Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and dramatically improves the clarity of fast-moving images, which will benefit gamers who play competitive titles that benefit from high refresh rates.

The Predator XB273U F5 is one of the first three gaming monitors to come with Pulsar technology, and with a resolution of 2560 X 1440 (QHD), a 360Hz refresh rate, the XB273U F5 is teed up to be one of the best gaming monitors coming to the market. Acer claims the XB273U F5 will have "4x more effective motion clarity".

Additionally, Acer will be releasing the XB273K V5, a 3840 x 2160 resolution (4K UHD) gaming monitor that has a 160 Hz refresh rate and support for AMD FreeSync Premium technology.

Predator XB273K V5 will be available in North America in Q4 2024, starting at $499.99. Acer didn't reveal when the Predator XB273U F5 will come to market in the US, but reports indicate it will start at $899.
