Acer Announces Clear Gaming Monitors and 240Hz Projector at CES
Acer has appeared at CES 2026 with a display lineup that boasts impressive versatility. This includes an impressive laser RGB projector capable of performing both roles of a 4K HDR home cinema projector (BT.2020 wide color gamut 106% coverage) and a 1080p 240Hz gaming beast. The display trend of allowing users to choose priorities between resolution and refresh rate is proving useful to a wide range of consumers and is becoming increasingly common in ultra-high refresh rate monitors.
Let's look at the specifications, impressions, and most importantly, prices and release dates. The products below are all scheduled to launch in the U.S. in Q3 2026, except for the projector.
Acer Gaming Monitors at CES 2026 (Up to 5K or 1000Hz)
Acer Predator XB273U F6 IPS Monitor: 1000Hz at 720p or 500Hz at 1440p
Key Specifications
-- Resolution: 2560x1440 (1440p QHD) or 1280x720 (720p HD)
-- Refresh Rate: 500Hz at 1440p or up to 1000Hz at 720p (AMD FreeSync Premium support)
-- Panel Type: IPS (DCI-P3 95% wide color gamut coverage)
-- Brightness: 350 nits (SDR)
-- Price: $799.99
Acer's entry into the 1000Hz refresh rate competition shows a reasonable price point, but it's not entirely new to the market. Previously announced, this monitor was primarily displayed at CES 2026 to compare with other Acer displays, but there's a reason it draws high popularity. For games that don't rely on analyzing far-field subpixel details, it makes sense to prioritize smoothness instead of halving the resolution, and between 720p and 1440p, clean 2x integer scaling is possible, preventing blurring caused by the display.
Acer Predator X34 F3 QD-OLED Monitor: The Beauty of 34-inch Curved 360Hz Ultrawide
Key Specifications
-- Resolution: 3440x1440 (Ultrawide 1440p QHD)
-- Refresh Rate: 360Hz (AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support)
-- Panel Type: QD-OLED (DCI-P3 99% wide color gamut coverage)
-- Brightness: 350 nits (SDR), 500 nits (HDR)
-- Price: $1119.99
One of Acer's strongest offerings for gamers and one of the high-end kits, the price point is reasonable considering the impressive ultrawide 360Hz Quantum Dot OLED. While OLED isn't as bright as IPS or mini-LED, the nearly infinite contrast ensures that 500 nits of HDR performance is still very strong. It supports full ultrawide, prioritizing the immersion of gamers. It's expensive, but most products at CES and high-end equipment are generally so. For players who don't want to compromise on resolution and refresh rate at the display level, it's a very well-balanced option with an ideal form factor for both gaming and movies.
Nitro XV270X P IPS Monitor: 5K 165Hz or 1440p 330Hz for High-Resolution Monsters
Key Specifications
-- Resolution: 5120x2880 (5K Ultra HD) or 2560x1440 (1440p QHD)
-- Refresh Rate: 165Hz at 5K or up to 330Hz at 1440p (AMD FreeSync Premium support)
-- Panel Type: IPS (DCI-P3 95% wide color gamut coverage)
-- Brightness: 350 nits (SDR), 400 nits (HDR)
-- Price: $799.99
Another powerful Acer gaming monitor is, surprisingly, a 5K Nitro model. However, the Acer Nitro XV270X P has a key limitation: it must be lowered to 1440p to reach 330Hz. Nevertheless, 165Hz at 5K is an impressive figure, and even more so for an IPS panel boasting this level of color reproduction. The price is also attractive, making it an ideal alternative to the Acer Predator XB273U F6.
Acer Launches ProDesigner PE320QX 31.5-inch Professional Monitor with 6K Resolution
Key Specifications
-- Resolution: 6016x3384 (6K Ultra HD)
-- Refresh Rate: 60Hz
-- Panel Type: IPS (DCI-P3 98% / Adobe RGB 99% wide color gamut coverage)
-- Brightness: 400 nits (SDR), 600 nits (HDR)
-- Price: $1499.99
Among Acer's new products, this monitor is the most expensive and clearly targets the professional market. It offers an incredible resolution of 6K and industry-leading DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB coverage. HDR also reaches a practically useful level (sorry to DisplayHDR 400 monitors) at 600 nits. For professionals who want HDR color grading or high-resolution content work, the Acer ProDesigner PE320QX is a strong contender.
Acer Vero HL1820 4K RGB Laser Projector Supporting HDR and 1080p 240Hz
Key Specifications
-- Resolution: 3840x2160 (2160p 4K) or 1920x1080 (1080p True HD)
-- Refresh Rate: 60Hz at 4K or up to 240Hz at 1080p (AMD FreeSync Premium supported)
-- Panel Type: RGB Laser Projector
-- Brightness: 5500 RGB laser lumens, 2000 ANSI lumens (1600 ANSI lumens in ECO mode)
-- Price: TBD
The last product to be introduced is the Acer Vero HL1820 4K RGB Laser Projector, which is very versatile for both gamers and movie enthusiasts. Unfortunately, the specific price has not yet been announced, but considering that it is a gaming-grade 4K projector, it is likely to be priced quite high. However, it promises 4.2ms latency during 1080p 240Hz gaming and uncompromising image quality at 4K. For those looking to build a legitimate home theater that can double as a powerful single or multiplayer game room, this product is worth keeping an eye on.
