Both monitors are treated with a Quantum Dot film, which allows them to achieve a wider, brighter and more accurate colour range and also Tobii eye-tracking technology. The Predator X27 features a 4K resolution (2160x3840), a refresh rate of 144Hz, 4ms response time and a peak brightness of and impressive 1000nits. It also s 99 percent of the sRGB colour space and 384 local dimming LED zones for better contrast and deeper black levels. The monitor also features a diamond cut metal stand with tilt, swivel, and height adjustments.

The Predator Z271UV features an 1800R curved which offers a much more visible curve compared to most curved s (usually 3000R). Since we sit a lot closer to a PC monitor as compared to a TV, the more pronounced curve should help offer a wider field of view. The monitor also features an edge-to-edge design, which makes it useful for multi-monitor setups. It also boasts of a colour gamut of 125 percent of the sRGB spectrum. It also has a native 3ms response time and a refresh rate that can be pushed to 165Hz. There are two 7W speakers with Acer’s TrueHarmony technology for better audio.
