Acer Predator X45 curved OLED gaming monitor with 240Hz, and 0.03 ms

Introducing the Acer Predator X45—a convergence of cutting-edge features that meld seamlessly to redefine your gaming experience. The fusion of an 800R curvature, 1440p resolution, a lightning-quick 240Hz refresh rate, and a dazzling peak brightness of 1,000 nits results in a gaming monitor that stands in a league of its own.

Notably, this gaming marvel comes replete with a comprehensive array of video outputs, including the versatile USB Type-C, accompanied by a USB hub for added convenience.

The imminent release of the Predator X45 is upon us, marking Acer’s forward stride in the gaming monitor arena. Unveiled earlier this year, its debut is poised to occur before the close of June. In parallel, the Acer Predator X27U OLED (approx $1000 on B&Hphoto) takes the stage. The Predator X45 asserts its presence with a generous 45-inch screen, graced by the graceful curvature of 800R. This visual spectacle serves up a native 3,440 x 1,440-pixel array—entailing the impressive UWQHD resolution, accompanied by a pixel density of 83 PPI.

Impressively, the Predator X45 surges forth with a formidable 240 Hz frequency, which coalesces harmoniously with a nimble 0.01 ms (GtG) response time. These staggering capabilities bask in the radiance of a peak brightness that scales to 1,000 nits. This remarkable achievement can be attributed, in part, to the implementation of an OLED panel.

This panel further champions the cause of cutting-edge technology by embracing HDR10 and AMD FreeSync Premium, cementing its position as a pioneer in the realm of gaming monitors. However, it’s worth noting that the Predator X45 does not extend its support to NVIDIA G-SYNC or other HDR standards. Regrettably, Acer remains reticent regarding the maximal SDR brightness this display can attain.

In tandem, the Predator X45 mirrors its younger sibling’s array of inputs/outputs. Inclusively, it features a KVM switch, an exceptional DisplayPort 1.4, and versatile USB Type-C ports, in addition to two HDMI 2.0 connections. A USB hub completes this connectivity ensemble. An integral facet to underscore is the USB Type-C port’s capacity to deliver a substantial 90W via USB Power Delivery, all the while supporting the DisplayPort Alt Mode.
