Acer isn't slowing down and is hitting where gamers and home users love it most: high refresh rates, razor-sharp OLED panels, and features you won't find in a regular monitor. The new line of Predator and Nitro displays for 2025 is a blend of pure performance with the convenience of smart TV – and it looks like a serious battle for the market is on the horizon.
Predator X27U F5 and Predator X27 X – two approaches to uncompromising gaming!
Both new Predators feature 26.5-inch QD-OLED panels, which means deep blacks, excellent colour reproduction (DCI-P3 99%), and colour accuracy below Delta E 2 – in practice: the eye won't notice the difference.
X27U F5 is designed for fast-paced shooters – WQHD resolution and an absurd 500 Hz refresh rate. It also boasts a 0.03 ms GTG response time and VESA TrueBlack 500 certification.
X27 X targets gamers wanting to combine 4K UHD quality with smoothness – 240 Hz, the same response time, and a slightly lower HDR400 certification.
Both monitors support AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and will debut in Europe in Q3 2025 – X27U F5 is expected to cost 899 euros (about AUD 1,440), while X27 X – 1099 euros (about AUD 1,800). Of course, the final price in Australia may vary depending on the euro exchange rate and retail margins.
Nitro GA321QK P and GA341CUR W0 – monitors with... Google TV?
This is not a mistake. Acer has packed the Google TV system into its monitors, providing access to 400,000 movies, TV shows, and VOD apps. Sounds absurd? Maybe, but it works. These models are for those who don't want to connect a console or laptop to the monitor – everything can be operated from the screen itself.
GA321QK P: 31.5 inches, 4K UHD, 165 Hz, 0.05 ms (GTG), 99% sRGB coverage.
GA341CUR W0: 34 inches, Ultra-Wide QHD, 240 Hz, 1 ms (VRB), also 99% sRGB.
Additionally, it has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Google Cast, and built-in speakers. Perfect for a desk or living room – something between a monitor and a gaming television.
Nitro PG271K – mobile 4K for nomads?
Acer is adding another model – Nitro PG271K. This is a 27-inch portable IPS screen with 4K at 72 Hz, which you can switch to Full HD at 144 Hz with a single click. It has a foldable stand, VESA support, and costs from 499 euros.
Acer clearly understands that gamers and home users want more than just a "pretty screen". They want a multitasking device, fast, flexible, and with quality that blows you away. And it looks like this is exactly what they will get.
