EgyptFrom 1000Hz to QD-OLED: A Deep Look at Acer’s Most Powerful CES 2026 Displays
6 min
Acer introduced a range of new monitors and a projector designed for gamers and creators.
The Predator XB273U F6 elevates gaming with a staggering 1000 Hz refresh rate at reduced resolution.
The Predator X34 F3 features a stunning curved QD‑OLED display with 360 Hz refresh and vivid colours.
The Nitro XV270X P offers versatility for gamers and creatives with a 5K display at 165 Hz.
Acer’s Vero HL1820 projector showcases sustainability with 4K HDR output and energy-efficient design.
In a scene familiar to fans of competitive gaming—where a round is decided in the blink of an eye and the difference between winning and losing is a fraction of a second—major companies are pushing hardware limits even further. In this context, Acer has unveiled a new generation of monitors and projectors, led by the Predator XB273U F6 with a refresh rate of up to 1,000 Hz. This announcement feels less like a simple tech update and more like a clear signal of a new direction in the world of high-performance displays.
Acer Is Betting on the Obsession with Speed
Launching a monitor with a 1,000 Hz refresh rate is not a random move. Acer clearly understands that the esports market is less interested in higher resolution and more focused on faster response and near-zero latency. The Predator XB273U F6 targets this audience specifically through a mix of a QHD IPS panel and Dynamic Frequency and Resolution technology, which allows temporarily sacrificing resolution in exchange for unprecedented smoothness.
What truly stands out is not just the number, but the idea behind it. The shift from a race for higher resolution to a race for higher frame rates reflects how professional players’ priorities have changed—visual fluidity and response time have become decisive factors in competitive performance.
QD-OLED Enters the Stage Confidently with the Predator X34 F3
On the other side, Acer introduces the Predator X34 F3 as a different kind of balance. This isn’t only about speed, but about the complete visual experience. The 34-inch curved QD-OLED panel combines accurate colors, deep contrast, and a 360 Hz refresh rate, making it suitable for cinematic gaming just as much as for competitive play.
This approach shows awareness that a large segment of users no longer separates gaming from content consumption or even creative work. One screen, multiple roles, with minimal compromises.
Nitro XV270X P — A Smart Attempt to Bridge Two Worlds
The Nitro XV270X P feels like a carefully considered middle ground. A 5K resolution for those who love detail, and high refresh rates for users who don’t want to give up fast performance. Acer’s use of DFR mode here suggests a practical understanding of users who switch between design, editing, and gaming throughout the same day.
This model in particular reflects a broader trend in the monitor market: the boundaries between categories are no longer clearly defined. The gamer may also be a content creator, the designer may spend hours gaming, and a single device is now expected to satisfy both.
A 6K Display for Creators and a Projector Reflecting Acer’s Eco Identity
Alongside gaming-focused displays, Acer also presented the ProDesigner PE320QX, a 6K monitor aimed at designers and professionals who rely on color accuracy and fine detail. Its support for modern ports like DisplayPort 2.1 and USB4, along with smart power-saving features, signals that productivity and sustainability are now part of the technical equation.
The same applies to the Vero HL1820 projector, which not only delivers a bright 4K RGB laser image but also positions itself as an environmentally conscious product through reduced power consumption and the use of recycled materials. Here, Acer attempts to balance high performance with environmental responsibility—without a heavy marketing tone.
