Acer Predator X27U review: a gaming OLED monitor that has speed on its side

A black Acer Predator X27U monitor sitting on a sunny grass field.

Acer’s Predator monitors have always been fast, and have always sat at the leading edge of technology when it comes to things like backlights and HDR. And while it’s taken Acer a while to release an OLED Predator, it’s finally here in the shape of the X27U, which is more than a minor upgrade over the old X27 LED-backlit model. 

Fast and bright, with OLED colour reproduction and 1440p resolution, it’s a screen that’s going to be attractive to a lot of people, but it’s also quite expensive and, if it’s pure size you’re looking for and the refresh rate doesn’t matter so much, then there are other options worth exploring.
