Acer Predator XB273U F6: 1000 Hz Gaming Monitor Announced for 2026

If you've ever wondered how fast a gaming monitor can get, Acer just raised the bar. In January 2026, the brand announced the Predator XB273U F6—a screen that hits 1000 Hz refresh rate (at 720p), plus new QD-OLED and 5K models, a 6K display for creators, and an eco-friendly 4K projector. Here's what matters if you game or create in the UAE.

Predator XB273U F6: 1000 Hz Speed for Esports

The Predator XB273U F6 targets competitive gamers chasing the lowest latency. At its native 2560 x 1440 resolution, it runs at 500 Hz—already faster than most displays. Switch to 1280 x 720 (using Dynamic Frequency and Resolution Mode) and it reportedly hits 1000 Hz, pushing frame rates to where you might actually notice an edge in high-speed esports.

• 27-inch IPS panel
• 2560 x 1440 at 500 Hz; 1280 x 720 at 1000 Hz (DFR mode)
• AMD FreeSync Premium
• 95% DCI-P3 and 99% sRGB coverage
• 2,000:1 native contrast, 350 nits brightness
• 1 ms typical response, 0.5 ms minimum GTG
• Adjustable: tilt, swivel, pivot, height up to 5.9 inches, VESA mount
• Connectivity: 2x HDMI 2.1, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, audio out, 2x 2W speakers

This monitor isn't just about headline speed. It's solid on colour and viewing angles for general use, though the 1000 Hz mode only works at reduced resolution. Most UAE users will likely play at 500 Hz QHD. If you're into competitive FPS—think Valorant, CS2, or Overwatch—this could be a real advantage. But unless you routinely play at 720p, the huge number is more proof-of-concept than practical.

Predator X34 F3: QD-OLED Curved Brilliance at 360 Hz

For those after spectacular visuals and solid competitive specs, the Predator X34 F3 combines a smooth 360 Hz refresh rate with a curved QD-OLED panel. At 34 inches, it's built for immersive experiences without sacrificing serious speed.

• 34-inch curved QD-OLED panel, 3440 x 1440 at 360 Hz
• AMD FreeSync Premium Pro
• 0.03 ms GTG (min.) response time
• 99% DCI-P3, 10 bit (dithering), 1.07B colours
• 500 nit HDR peak brightness
• Ergonomic stand, dual 5W speakers, HDMI 2.1/DisplayPort 1.4

OLED typically means best-in-class colour, contrast, and true blacks. 360 Hz is serious speed, though not as headline-grabbing as XB273U F6's 1000 Hz in low-res mode. If you want esports smoothness and cinematic contrast, this is one to watch for UAE gamers—provided pricing is sensible.

Nitro XV270X P: 5K Resolution Meets 330 Hz Speed

If clarity matters as much as refresh rates, the Nitro XV270X P hits both. You get a 27-inch IPS panel at native 5K resolution (5120 x 2880) at 165 Hz, or switch to DFR mode for 2560 x 1440 at 330 Hz.

• 27-inch IPS, 5120 x 2880 at 165 Hz, or 1440p at 330 Hz
• AMD FreeSync Premium, 0.5 ms minimum GTG
• 95% DCI-P3, 1.07B colours, HDR400 (peak 400 nits)
• Tilt, swivel, pivot, height adjust, VESA mount
• HDMI 2.1/DisplayPort 1.4, dual 2W speakers

This model likely appeals to designers who also game, offering flexibility for both pixel-perfect work and high-speed play. If you swap between Photoshop and Counter-Strike, keep it on your shortlist.

Acer ProDesigner PE320QX: 6K Display for Creators

Acer's ProDesigner PE320QX targets UAE creatives who want maximum detail and colour accuracy. It's a 31.5-inch IPS monitor running 6016 × 3384 (6K) at 60 Hz, with broad colour coverage and ergonomic adjustments.

• 31.5-inch IPS, 6016 × 3384 @ 60 Hz
• 99% Adobe RGB, 98% DCI-P3, 1.07B colours
• HDR600: peak 600 nits brightness
• AI ProxiSense for presence detection, energy saving
• Reflection-free panel; HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, USB4 Type-C
• Dual 5W speakers, versatile stand

If your work demands accuracy—graphic design, photo editing, or pro video—this display ticks most boxes. The AI-powered sensing tech could be a gimmick or a genuine power-saver. We haven't tested it yet, so treat it with healthy scepticism until we know more.

Acer Vero HL1820: Eco-Friendly 4K RGB Laser Projector

The new Vero HL1820 projector is designed for home cinema fans and gamers who want big-screen 4K without the usual maintenance headaches. It uses RGB laser tech to hit 5,500 lumens, 30,000-hour lifespan (eco mode), and claims 106% BT.2020 colour.

• 4K UHD RGB laser, 5,500 lumens, 3,500,000:1 contrast
• 240 Hz refresh (1080p), 4.2 ms latency for gaming
• HDR support
• IP6X dust protection, 50% recycled chassis materials
• Built-in 15W speaker

Suited for both movie nights and plugging in a console for gaming. If UAE cinema rooms are your thing, this saves energy and delivers high-end visuals without changing bulbs often.

Pricing & Availability in UAE

Official UAE pricing and local release dates for these Acer models are not confirmed. Global reference prices (converted for context) are below. Expect a local premium—we'll update as soon as Gulf retailers announce specifics.

Official UAE pricing and where to buy: TBC. Monitor launches historically lag a few months behind western markets—Dubai/Abu Dhabi buyers may see units by late Q3 or Q4. For now, keep an eye on major retailers and Acer's regional channels.

Should You Wait for 1000 Hz in UAE?

The big question for UAE gamers: does 1000 Hz justify waiting, or will 500–360 Hz already be more than enough for real-world play?

Most setups here will barely max out 360 Hz even on top-end PCs, and esports benefits top out well before 1000 Hz. If you only play Valorant or CS2 and crave every advantage, the Predator XB273U F6 is the monitor to stalk. But for most people, last year's high refresh OLEDs and 5K displays likely still hit the sweet spot.
