Acer has had a busy couple of days at CES 2020 so far, earlier today we covered a range of new laptops including Intel Project Athena devices and an industry-leading 300 Hz 1ms response panel in the Predator Triton 500. Acer has added more monitors to its Predator series too in the form of 32-inch and 37.5-inch models, as well as a gigantic 55-inch OLED monster.

Following the launch of the Predator Triton 500, a 300 Hz panel equipped laptop, new monitors have been added to its Predator gaming display series.

A 144 Hz refresh rate means the Predator X32 will provide gamers with smooth gameplay in fast-paced titles. 10-bit colour with accuracy of Delta E <1 and 99% AdobeRGB and 89.5% Rec2020 colour coverage makes it perfect for gamers and content creators alike.

Acer has also introduced the Predator X38 37.5-inch UWQHD+ display with a 3840×1600 resolution and an immersive 2300R curvature to increase the peripheral view.

KitGuru says: Impressive specs in these new monitor announcements from Acer. The 55-inch OLED looks very interesting as it could be a big hit for living room and console gamers looking for an alternative large display to LG TV’s that supports adaptive refresh rates and Nvidia G-Sync.
