Acer unveils 5 new monitors, including a 3D one, and plenty of fast gaming displays
Table of Contents
With Computex springing into action next week, we’re getting plenty of new hardware reveals already. That also comes from Acer, as it shows off a range of new gaming monitors, spanning a bunch of budgets and use cases, with a variety of specs on offer.
Firstly, there’s the Predator XB273K 3D, providing an immersive experience, bringing games to life at high 4K quality and a 180Hz refresh rate. Something I didn’t expect to see in the year 2026 was a new 3D monitor, but clearly, there must be some demand for a new one if they are coming out.
Then there are two 34-inch curved monitors for a different type of immersion into your media. With the Predator X34 F1 QD-OLED 1440p, 360Hz panel, the Acer Nitro XV345CKR P is a 4K mini-LED option with a dual mode available for changing resolution and refresh rate.

The last two are the Acer Nitro XV320QX and Nitro XV273U. The former is a 31-inch 5K monitor with dual mode available too, but on a flat panel. While the latter is a simple 27-inch capable of reaching 1000Hz in HD, so a fast monitor without the need for Pulsar.

New monitor specs and prices
This range of displays does sound rather interesting, considering having reviewed Acer monitors, they do provide an impressive experience on them with great specifications. Particularly, the 3D monitor sounds like something I’d want to try to see how viable it even is, but with onboard AI and eye tracking, it sounds like it can be a viable option, even.
While the others are still exciting in their own ways, considering the curved ones can offer their own impressive immersion. The first is a QD-OLED with great color accuracy and a fast refresh rate. While the XV345CKR P is a mini-LED that can reach 1000 nits with DisplayHDR, searing sight with many pixels, and fast speed too in dual mode.
Even the last two are great for speed and simpler displays. The XV273U F5 being able to reach 540Hz in QHD but jumping up to 1000Hz in HD is a great gaming option.
