Acer has released three new monitors in its Predator series aimed at gamers, but which could also be interesting for video work: the 42.5-inch CG437K S with HDMI 2.1, the 37.5-inch UWQHD+ X38 S model with up to 175 Hz refresh rate, and the 27-inch X28 with up to 155 Hz.
All three new monitors have DisplayHDR certification for HDR content playback and several technologies that help them change their display depending on the environment: via Acer ColorSense, the screen&s color temperature adjusts to the ambience of the environment; via Acer LightSense, the monitor&s brightness settings are adjusted accordingly to the ambient lighting; and via Acer ProxiSense, the monitor automatically wakes up when users are nearby and otherwise saves energy via dimming.
