Acer has announced a slew of new gaming monitors forCES, including a 57-inch dual-4K monster. Other models include 34-inch and 39-inch OLEDs, plus a 34-inch mini-LED panel.
But let’s kick off with the beast, the Acer Predator Z57. Acer isn’t saying it, but we very much suspect this is based on the very same 57-inch as theSamsung Odyssey Neo G9 G95NC , which we reviewed late last year.
The headline specs look near enough identical and include a 57-inch 32:9 aspect panel using VA technology. There can’t be too many panel suppliers offering such a beast.
There are a few details differences, however. Samsung quotes 2,392 zones for its mini-LED backlight, while Acer puts its at 2,304. The two panels may still share identical hardware, just implemented slightly differently.
And remember, you need DisplayPort 2.0 to run at 240Hz on the dual-4K monitor, which excludes all existing Nvidia graphics card. Anyway, our main reservation with the Acer is pricing. It’s being pitched at the same $2,499 MSRP as the Samsung panel, despite the lower refresh rate spec, which doesn’t make much sense. We’d like to see the Z57 slip well below $2,000 to make it interesting.

Acer isn’t quoting any further specs, but we understand both the Acer Predator X39 and Acer Predator X34 X use LG WOLED rather than Samsung QD-OLED panels. LG’s latest WOLED panels have closed to gap slightly to Samsung for full screen brightness, so these could be pretty sweet gaming monitors, albeit pretty pricey at $1,499 and $1,299 respectively.

The latter looks particularly expensive given the you can grab the cheaper ofAlienware’s two 34-inch OLED monitors for $800 with QD-OLED tech. OK, the Alienware 34 AW3423DWF only runs at 165Hz, but still, is 240Hz worth an extra $500?
Finally, the Acer predator Predator X34 V3 is another 34-inch ultrawide, but this time with LCD tech and a mini-LED backlight. It also sports 2,304 zones (which has us wondering how Acer counts its zones, given its the same figure as the 57-inch Z57 monster), runs at 180Hz and has DisplayHDR 1000 certification, so should be pretty punchy. Acer hasn’t priced this particular panel up, but based on the other models, it’s not going to be cheap.
