Should you’re searching for a decent gaming monitor that received’t break the financial institution, there are dozens of choices on the market for you. One which usually doesn’t exist within the “reasonably priced” bucket is Acer’s Predator XB323U, a 32-inch mannequin with 1440p decision and a 170 Hz refresh price. It’s at the moment $349.99 at Woot, whereas Amazon sells it new for $575.
I already hit on the specs that matter probably the most, however there are different qualities that make this a standout monitor at this worth. You’re getting an IPS panel, which rises above TN panels by way of distinction, correct shade manufacturing, and extensive viewing angles. It will possibly attain as much as 600 nits of peak brightness in case you are utilizing HDR, or as much as 400 nits throughout regular use.
Along with its comparatively speedy 170 Hz refresh price by way of DisplayPort (in different phrases, displaying as much as 170 frames per second in case your system is succesful sufficient) it boasts a 1 ms response time, letting its pixels change shade sooner than you possibly can doubtless discover.
Another issues price figuring out is that the XB323U might be mounted to a monitor arm by way of its commonplace 100 x 100 VESA mount, in case its very edgy stand isn’t doing it for you. The monitor has a single DisplayPort 1.2 port, two HDMI 2.0 ports (supporting as much as 120 Hz refresh price at 1440p), plus a bunch of USB ports to attach equipment to. This monitor will get additional factors for together with HDMI, DisplayPort and USB cables within the field, and it incorporates a 3-year restricted guarantee from Acer.
