Predator X32 X2 and X27U X1: Revolutionize your gaming with QD-OLED and 240 Hz 🔥🎮
Acer’s QD-OLED gaming monitor lineup continues to expand with the arrival of two new models: the Predator X32 X2 and the X27U X1. Quantum Dot technology combined with OLED panels allows for more vibrant colors and higher peak brightness levels compared to WOLED monitors, and Acer is taking full advantage of these developments. 🎮✨
The Predator X32 X2 is a 31.5-inch monitor that offers a 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution and an impressive 240Hz refresh rate. Both the maximum resolution and refresh rate can be utilized via DisplayPort or HDMI connections. If you don’t have the best gaming graphics cards that can handle 4K at 240Hz or you prefer a smaller monitor on your desk, the Predator X27U X1 may be more to your liking. This model swaps the 31.5-inch QD-OLED panel for a 26.5-inch one with a WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution and keeps the same 240Hz refresh rate. 🖥️🌟
