In addition to their powerful new desktops and laptops, Acer has also introduced a new monitor and keyboard designed to give gamers and professionals a competitive edge. The Predator X27U F8 monitor and Predator Aethon 550 TKL keyboard are all about precision, speed, and style.
Predator X27U F8 Monitor: Ultrafast 720 Hz Refresh Rate for Competitive Gaming
Acer’s new Predator X27U F8 is a top-tier monitor for elite gamers who need the fastest response times and a beautiful display. This 26.5-inch OLED monitor features a WQHD (2560×1440) resolution with an astounding 720 Hz refresh rate. That’s not a typo. Thanks to Dynamic Frequency Resolution (DFR), the monitor can switch between WQHD at 540 Hz and 1280×720 at 720 Hz, which optimises performance for different gaming scenarios.
Beyond its incredible speed, the X27U F8 delivers stellar visuals. With a 99% DCI-P3 colour gamut and VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black certification, it produces deep blacks and stunning contrast for a truly immersive experience. It also comes with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, ensuring buttery-smooth gameplay. The monitor is also highly adjustable, with a tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustment range, and includes a variety of ports, including two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 2.1, and a Type-C port with 90W power delivery. It also comes with built-in 5W speakers.
Predator Aethon 550 TKL Keyboard: Precision Meets Personalisation
For gamers who want accuracy, adaptability, and style, the new Predator Aethon 550 TKL keyboard is a significant upgrade to any gaming setup. This keyboard offers tri-mode connectivity, allowing you to switch effortlessly between wired, Bluetooth-enabled, and 2.4 GHz connections. It also boasts an impressive battery life of up to 150 hours with the lighting turned off.
The Aethon 550 TKL is built with hot-swappable switches, available in both blue and red options, which gives you the ability to personalise your tactile feedback. The 80% tenkeyless (TKL) layout saves desk space without sacrificing functionality.
