here at next at Acer they revealed the next king of the displays this is the
0:07
predator x27 and it's got pretty much everything
0:11
you could possibly imagine it runs at 4K
0:15
resolution it runs at high refresh rate
0:18
144 htz it's got support for hdr10 it's
0:22
got quantum dot it's got local dimming
0:26
support it's got a demo that just finished running so I'm going to start
0:29
that again it's got g-sync I mean it
0:32
slices it dices it's got a thing that keeps the ambient light away from the
0:37
panel so that you can stay completely focused on your game what doesn't it
0:52
have browse privately and securely with
0:55
tunnel bear the simple VPN app try tunnel bear for free at the link in the
1:00
video description for your money what you are
1:04
getting is a 27in monitor that
1:07
represents the best of the best in
1:11
pretty much every possible category so
1:14
the one that I've got right here has got two inp points in points got two inputs
1:20
it's got HDMI 2.0 but then you're limited to um 4K 60 HZ and g-sync
1:26
doesn't work or you can fire it up with display play Port 1.4 so that's when
1:32
you're going to get HDR 144 HZ refresh
1:35
rates g-sync and the native 4K
1:38
resolution the most impressive thing about this though is that while they are
1:42
marketing this as a gaming monitor so it's got specs like 4 millisecond gray
1:47
to grade response times it's an IPS type panel it actually also features 99
1:54
something they're not sure yet this is not the final display but 99 plus%
1:59
coverage of the Adobe RGB color space so
2:03
this is really not that far off what you would expect to use for Mid to high-end
2:09
content creation I guess at $2,000 you
2:13
should be able to have your cake and eat it too but uh you don't always take that
2:16
kind of thing for granted other features include Toby ey tracking if you're into
2:20
that sort of thing personally I'm not but if you guys love it I'd love to hear
2:24
from you in the comments let me know does Toby would you pay an extra 150
2:28
bucks to have Toby ey tracking on your product would love to hear from you guys
2:31
about that and it's got a completely redesigned stand gone are the orange
2:38
accent so no more kind of Splash of color it's all black and gray and
2:44
gunmetal except for the RGB lighting yes
2:47
my friends I don't think it's working on this one yet but the redesigned stand
2:50
has kind of a new angular look it has an all black look and it's got RGB lighting
2:55
along with the usual adjustments so the only thing missing is Pivot but we've
3:00
got height tilt and swivel does it look
3:05
impressive yes yes it does and this isn't even the finished product either
3:09
