Predator X25

The Predator X25 is ready to deliver silky smooth, tear-free animation with its superfast 360Hz G-Sync ready 24.5-inch 1920×1080 IPS panel. With LightSense, the monitor adjusts brightness and colour temperature automatically depending on ambient light to provide you with the best viewing experience. Moreover, AdaptiveLight automatically adjusts the monitor’s backlights to suit the ambient light in the room. Just so you don’t overstrain, ProxiSense will remind you to take a break after a set amount of time spent at the computer.

The monitor is adjustable with -5 to -25 degree tilt, +/- 30 degree swivel, up to 4.7-inch height adjustment and +/- 90 degree pivot.

Predator XB3 Series

Acer’s new Predator XB3 series monitors are G-Sync compatible across the board, offering up to 240Hz refresh rates and up to 4K UHD resolution. The IPS panel delivers a wide 178-degree viewing angle, support for DisplayHDR 400 and a 0.5ms (G to G) response time.

The new Predator XB3 family features Acer AdaptiveLight which helps you stay comfortable during long gaming sessions. Ergonomically designed, they offer tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustment. In addition, RGB LightSense let you choose a variety of different lighting effects including colour, speed, duration, and brightness, and can be set to react to gameplay, music, or video.

The new line consists of the 31.5-inch Predator XB323QK NV, the 27-inch Predator XB273U GS and Predator XB273U GX, plus the 24.5-inch Predator XB253Q GZ.

Keeping things cool are three 4.7-inch Predator FrostBlade fans that provide up to 16 per cent more airflow and 55 per cent increased static pressure compared to previous generations. Meanwhile, the CPU liquid cooler fan keeps things frosty even if gameplay sizzles. Connectivity is expectedly fast with integrated Killer E31000G and Intel Wi-Fi 6 support.

Overclocking is a touch of a button away. The chassis comes with a convenient headset cradle, handles, and wheels. Additionally, it features an EMI-compliant edge-to-edge tempered glass side panel to showcase the colourful ARGB innards.

Two custom-engineered Predator FrostBlade fans keep things frosty, while the lighting on the fans and vertical light bars on the front of the case can be customised with PredatorSense software.

An optional EMI-compliant tempered glass side panel showcases the compact and colour RGB innards.

Meanwhile, built-in Killer E2600 and Intel Wi-Fi 6 delivers ultra-fast, uninterrupted connectivity.

These are paired with up to 64GB of 2666MHz DDR4 memory, a 1TB NVMe PCIe SSD, and two 3TB HDDs. Keeping things cool is Predator FrostBlade cooling.
