Both panels tout 1000:1 contrast ratios and 1ms response times.Īvailability of the XB252Q and XB272 commence in February and prices start at $550 and $680, in that order. For color, we have 100% of the sRGB color space covered, and 1.67 million reproducible colors.Īlthough bereft of the more astonishing features of the abovementioned model, both the XB252Q and XB272 do feature nVidia G-Sync and Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB). Maximum resolution for both displays is 1920x1080 at 240Hz. Both displays use a TN panel not surprising, given the 240Hz refresh rate. The Predator XB252Q is a 24.5” display, while the XB272 is a 27” version. The second additions to the Predator display line up are two different displays, with the only distinct difference being size.

XB2 Series Acer Predator XB252Q and XB272 The Predator Z301CT will be available beginning February 2017 with prices starting at $900. The relevance of such a feature will depend on how widely adopted it becomes among developers, to which Acer claims a 45+ game selection supporting the technology, including Watch Dogs 2 and Elite Dangerous.Īll of new Predator panels, including the Z301CT, will support nVidia G-Sync. Eye tracking can adjust camera angles and sound based on where the user is looking. Perhaps the most unique is the Tobii Eye Tracking technology, which is aimed at adding a new input modality. Connectivity offered is DisplayPort 1.2a, HDMI 1.4, 4x USB 3.0 ports, and audio output. The Z301CT features a swivel stand as well as VESA mounting support. Acer touts 100% saturation of the sRGB color space and 16.7 million reproducible colors. Resolution comes in at 2560x1080 and has viewing angles of 178°. The VA panel also contributes to the slower (in comparison with the XB2 series) response time of 4ms. The VA panel type doubtless affords the Z301CT the high refresh rate (200Hz) and contrast ratio of 3000:1. The Z301CT features a 30” display and utilizes an 8-bit VA panel.

In the usual race to claim industry firsts, Acer does so with the Predator Z301CT in exemplifying it as the first 21:9 curved display.
