Predator
Z301CT – First Curved Monitor with Eye-Tracking
The 30-inch Acer Predator Z301CT is the
pinnacle of gaming immersion, as evidenced by its win as the CES 2017 “Best of
Innovations” award in the computer peripherals category. The monitor’s
integrated Tobii eye-tracking technology adds to a gamer’s arsenal of control
tools, helping them to intuitively aim, shoot and explore. Intended to
complement, rather than replace, traditional PC gaming inputs, Tobii eye
tracking uses the gamer’s eye movement to create a new input modality. Pairing
eye tracking with mouse and keyboard or gamepad controls give gamers a richer,
more immersive experience as they are able to mimic actions that occur in real
life, such as looking for cover or aiming at a target. Camera angles also
automatically rotate as the gamer’s eye focuses on the edge of the screen, while
characters and game environments react as the gamer looks around. Tobii eye
tracking functionality can be found in over 45 titles like Elite
Dangerous, Deus Ex: Mankind
Divided and WATCH_DOGS
2™. The
games’ sounds and graphics will dynamically adapt depending on where the gamers
look. In addition, the ultra-wide Full HD (2560 X 1080) and 1800R curved screen
makes gaming more attractive and powerful.
Other key features include a rapid 200Hz
refresh rate and a fast 4ms response time. Wide 178 degree viewing angles and an
extreme-narrow frame provide maximum viewing area. For optimum comfort, the
display can tilt and swivel -5° to 25° and reach 4.7 inches (120mm) up and down
for providing the most comfortable viewing position. Two 3W speakers with DTS™
Sound deliver quality audio for deepening the immersive experience.
New Predator XB2
Series - Ultrafast 240Hz Refresh Rate
The Predator XB2 Series was built from
the ground up for
fast-paced, tournament-grade intensity. Boasting NVIDIA®
ULMB™
technology1, a fast 1ms response time and a rapid
240Hz refresh rate, the 24.5-inch Predator XB252Q and 27-inch Predator XB272
deliver an incredibly realistic in-game experience with fast-moving action,
sharp edges and dramatic transitions rendered smoothly without smearing or
ghosting.
Superb picture quality is made possible
with a Full HD 1080p resolution and a sharp 1,000:1 contrast ratio. The
ZeroFrame design is ideal for multi-monitor setups and an ergonomically-designed
stand lets gamers find the perfect viewing position with -5 to 20 degrees tilt,
+45 degree swivel, 90 degrees clockwise
pivot and height adjustment up to 4.5 inches (115 mm). The monitors can be
quickly released from the stand for VESA wall-mounting for maximizing desk space
and a cable clip keeps the desk clutter-free. They also come with two 2W
speakers.
All New Predator
Models
Outfitted with GameView technology,
gamers can swiftly toggle between three customizable display profiles to tweak settings
in-game without having to navigate the OSD menu, a significant advantage when
every second counts. Special settings include dark boost (black level
adjustment) to clearly see threats in the dark, aim-point assistance for hip
fire accuracy as well as the ability to select the on-screen refresh rate.
Featuring Acer EyeProtect, the new
monitors leverage flicker-less, blue-light filter, ComfyView and low-dimming
technologies to help safeguard the eyes from flickering visuals, screen glare, blue light emissions
and over-illumination, which may help reduce eye strain during long gaming
sessions. Powerful connectivity includes HDMI, DisplayPort v1.2 and a USB 3.0
hub (1 up/4 down).
