With CES 2026 underway, Taiwanese technology leader Acer has already revealed a variety of product launches. From innovative laptops to an electric scooter, there’s plenty of exciting technology to anticipate this year from the brand. We’re particularly thrilled about the new range of gaming monitors.
Acer showcased three monitors at CES on Monday, designed to meet gamers’ demands for speed, accuracy, performance, and style. Whether you’re after the absolute fastest refresh rate, breathtaking visuals, or a combination of both, the new arrivals are guaranteed to impress. Although they won’t be available for purchase just yet, we’ve compiled all the information we currently have, including pricing and availability timelines.
Make sure to keep up with Mashable’s live CES 2026 updates for the newest announcements throughout the week.
Acer Predator XB273U F6 gaming monitor
Kicking things off is the Predator XB273U F6, featuring a 27-inch, 2560 x 1440 QHD IPS display with an ultra-rapid 500Hz refresh rate that’s perfect for high-level esports. This refresh rate can soar to an impressive 1000Hz when utilizing the Dynamic Frequency and Resolution (DFR) mode, which reduces the resolution to 1280 x 720. Motion blur and ghosting? Unheard of. Additional specifications include a 2,000:1 native contrast ratio, 350 nit brightness, two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, audio out, and dual integrated 2-watt speakers, along with an ergonomic adjustable stand and a smart dial remote control for ease of use.
“With its 500 Hz refresh rate, advanced IPS technology, and 1000 Hz dynamic mode, it offers both speed and visual quality that redefine expectations for competitive gaming monitors,” stated Charles Wang, Senior Manager of Product Management, Digital Displays at Acer.
The Predator XB273U F6 will be released in spring 2026 starting at $799.99.
Acer Predator X34 F3 curved gaming monitor
For gamers who enjoy having their games envelop them, Acer has unveiled a new Predator X34 F3 QD-OLED curved gaming monitor. It boasts a more modest yet impressive 360Hz refresh rate, a 34-inch curved QD-OLED display with a native resolution of 3440 x 1440, a 0.03 ms gray-to-gray response time, and an 1800R curvature that provides stunning clarity, rapid responsiveness, and a truly immersive gaming experience. This monitor is perfect for both competitive gamers and content creators, as the 99% DCI-P3 color gamut, 1.07 billion color support, 500 nit peak brightness, and 1,000,000,000:1 Adaptive Contrast Management (ACM) ratio create breathtaking highlights, deep blacks, and vibrant colors. Other features include ergonomic tilt, swivel, and height adjustments, plus dual 5-watt integrated speakers.
The Predator X34 F3 will also become available this spring with a base price of $1,199.99.
Acer Nitro XV270X P gaming monitor
Lastly, we present the new Acer Nitro gaming monitor, the XV270X P. This 27-inch IPS monitor combines creator-level 5K resolution with esports-capable 330Hz performance. While that isn’t as high as the refresh rates of the other recently announced models, it still stands out as a strong contender. As noted by our colleagues at PCMag (which is also part of Ziff Davis), casual gamers likely won’t detect a significant difference beyond the 240Hz mark (at least on laptops). At a resolution of 5120 x 2880 (5K), it operates at 165Hz via HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4 for crystal-clear visuals. When fluidity and responsiveness are crucial for gameplay, it offers an impressive 2560 x 1440 at 330 Hz.
Additional features include AMD FreeSync Premium, a minimum 0.5 ms GTG response time, a native contrast ratio of 1,000,000,000:1, peak brightness up to 400 nit, a 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, dual 2-watt speakers, and an ergonomic stand with tilt, swivel, and height adjustments.
The Nitro XV270X P gaming monitor will be released this spring at a starting price of $799.99.
