Acer is pushing deeper into high-end gaming displays with two new QD-OLED monitors: the Predator X32 X2 and Predator X27U X1. These new panels aim to blend the ultra-fast performance gamers need with the kind of color accuracy and contrast that content creators crave — all wrapped in the vivid glow of quantum dot OLED tech.
Big specs, deep blacks
Leading the pack is the Predator X32 X2, a 31.5-inch 4K monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate and a razor-sharp 0.03ms response time. It’s built for speed, but it’s also tuned for cinematic visuals: 99% DCI-P3 coverage, 10-bit color, and up to 1000 nits of brightness in HDR mode. Thanks to per-pixel lighting from the OLED panel, contrast reaches a staggering 1,500,000:1 — perfect for those deep blacks and punchy highlights OLED is known for.
You also get AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support, which should help keep fast-paced gameplay smooth and tear-free. For connectivity, there’s a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, audio out, and dual 2W speakers. Console players aren’t left out either — the X32 X2 plays nice with both the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Acer’s also added some quality-of-life touches: an anti-glare coating, BlueLightShield Pro for eye comfort, and an adjustable stand that supports tilt, swivel, and height changes. It’s VESA mount compatible too.
Smaller sibling, same OLED punch
If you want something a bit more compact, the Predator X27U X1 shrinks things down to 26.5 inches with a WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440). It keeps the 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time and still delivers the same QD-OLED visual punch — including the high brightness, wide color gamut, and DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification.
The X27U X1 even steps things up in audio, with beefier 5W speakers compared to the X32 X2’s 2W setup. Like its larger sibling, it also supports picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture modes for multitasking setups.
Pricing and Availability
The Predator X32 X2 starts at $999.99 in North America and €1,199 in Europe, with a China release planned for Q2 at 5,999 yuan. The smaller X27U X1 is already available in the US for $599.99, with global availability rolling out over the next few months.
In related news, AOC recently launched a new 27-inch Fast IPS gaming monitor with a 200Hz refresh rate, priced under $160. Meanwhile, Asus has introduced a 31.5-inch 4K QD-OLED monitor featuring a 240Hz refresh rate and Thunderbolt 4 support.
