[Update] Asus In Addition To Acer Delay Feature-Rich 4K 144Hz Monitors Alongside Hdr Until 2018

These monitors can't larn hither fast enough.

When Acer announced its decked out Predator X27 monitor end April, it referred to the display every bit a "jaw dropping showstopper." We'd last difficult pressed to debate otherwise based on the spec sail alone, though whether or non the hype lives upward to the billing is something we'll pick out to hold off until adjacent yr to detect out. That's because Acer is delaying the launch of this bad man child until the start quarter of 2018.
Same goes alongside Asus as well as its ROG Swift PG27UQ that was announced simply about the same time. After seeing a Twitter shipping service for Acer announcing the delay of its Predator X27, nosotros reached out to Asus to encounter where it stood alongside its ain beastly 4K monitor. Sure enough, Asus told us that its monitor volition unloose adjacent yr every bit well. Drats!
Neither fellowship said why it's taking thence long to convey these much anticipated monitors to market, as well as neither i had an exact unloose appointment to share. Regardless, waiting until adjacent yr is a bummer because we're actually looking forrard to these monitors.
To recap, the Predator X27 sports a 27-inch panel (Anandtech says it's an IPS panel) alongside a native 4K resolution (3840x2160) at a blazing fast 144Hz. Beyond those specs, Acer ticks simply nearly every box you lot could desire when shopping a gaming monitor. Here are some highlights:

• HDR10 support
• Nvidia G-Sync support
• Nvidia's ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur)
• Tobii eye-tracking technology
• 384 individually controlled LED lighting zones
• 100 pct coverage of the sRGB coloring space
• 1,000 nits brightness
• 4ms answer time

This is a beastly monitor that should last capable of delivering some amazing visuals alongside splendid coloring reproduction, brilliant whites, as well as deep blacks. That is, if the actual surgical physical care for matches the specs. Gaming should last buttery shine too, cheers to its 4ms answer fourth dimension as well as incorporating G-Sync into the mix.
The spec sail for the ROG Swift PG27UQ is virtually the same, correct downwardly to the release of LED lighting zones. Our estimate is Acer as well as Asus are sourcing the panel from the same manufacturer as well as and then slapping their ain custom firmware as well as on-screen display (OSD) controls.
Beyond the exact unloose date, the big interrogation hither is price. Given the resources allotment of features, nosotros suspect these monitors volition sell for N of $1,000, as well as mayhap inward the vicinity of $1,500. Assuming prices are comparable, the winner powerfulness last the i that tin larn to marketplace first.
