CES is upon us, meaning manufacturers are coming out of the woodwork with various new gaming monitors. Acer is joining in on the festivities with its new Predator X323QX, a 31.5-inch gaming monitor that supports Nvidia’s G-Sync Pulsar Technology (combining Adaptive Overdrive and Pulse Modulation to improve clarity and reduce motion blur). More uniquely, the monitor sports a 5K resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio, rather than the ultrawide panels we’re more used to at resolutions above 4K.
Rather than using an OLED panel, which is becoming increasingly common in high-end gaming monitors, the Predator X323QX uses tried and true IPS tech. The 10-bit panel sports a resolution of 5120 x 2880 and features a gray-to-gray response time of 0.5 ms. A maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz is supported, and Acer says that it can accomplish that refresh rate at native resolution over the HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4 interface.
