Acer has unveiled its latest high-performance gaming monitor, the Predator X27U F8, at IFA 2025. The new display features a 26.5-inch WQHD OLED panel and supports refresh rates of up to 720Hz.
The launch follows Asus’s recent announcement of the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W, which also supports up to 720Hz refresh rate, signaling a growing push toward ultra-high refresh OLED panels in the gaming monitor segment.
Acer Predator X27U F8 Specifications
The Predator X27U F8 uses Dynamic Frequency and Resolution (DFR) technology to switch between two performance modes. It runs at 540Hz while outputting at 2560 x 1440 and reaches up to 720Hz when scaled down to 1280 x 720. The monitor also delivers a 0.01ms pixel response time, ensuring minimal motion blur and virtually no ghosting during fast-paced gameplay.
Acer has confirmed that the screen covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and achieves Delta E<1 color accuracy. The monitor carries VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification and supports peak brightness levels of up to 1,500 nits. The OLED panel includes an Image Retention Refresh system to help reduce burn-in and extend display longevity.
In terms of connectivity, the monitor includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB Type-C port with 90W power delivery. The display also features a built-in KVM switch, allowing users to control multiple connected devices using a single keyboard and mouse.
Acer has added support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, which enables smoother visuals and reduced latency during HDR gaming sessions.
The stand supports tilt, swivel, pivot, and 150mm of height adjustment. The monitor is also compatible with 100x100mm VESA mounts for users who prefer custom setups.
For eye comfort, Acer includes Eyesafe 2.0 and VisionCare 2.0 features, along with technologies like BlueLightShield Pro, flicker reduction, and low-dimming support. The matte anti-glare coating ensures clear visibility even under bright lighting.
