The 43-inch 4K display is loaded with features and costs $1,500.
The Acer Predator CG437K is a Large Format Gaming Display (LFGD), not to be confused with Nvidia’s Big Format Gaming Display (BFGD), and is now available to consumers in the United States seeking a gaming monitor that checks nearly every box.
With its Predator CG7 gaming monitor, Acer wants gamers to embrace the titan. A 43-inch display with 3840 x 2160 resolution and a VA panel with a native 120Hz refresh rate that can be overclocked to 144Hz (via its two DisplayPort 1.4 ports). On the back is a USB-C port, but it only supports 60Hz.
The monitor is DisplayHDR 1000 certified, which means that it can reach a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits to provide “43 inches of pure, 4K glory bursting with HDR-infused color.” It features AMD’s Freesync technology on its three HDMI 2.0 ports and is compatible with G-Sync over its DisplayPort 1.4 ports.
Regarding response time, Acer indicates that the CG7 has a 1ms VRB (visual response boost) but did not provide a value for its native GtG (gray-to-gray) response time.
Four magnetic (removable) LED strips employ RGB Light Sense, which includes nine preset light patterns and can synchronize color with the action on-screen or to the rhythm of any music played through its two 10w built-in speakers for enhanced immersion.
The inclusion of an ambient light sensor, a proximity sensor for energy savings, and a remote control for accessing the monitor’s OSD settings enhance its usability, while 2 x USB 3.0 ports and 2 x USB 2.0 ports provide adequate connectivity for peripherals.
The Acer Predator CG7 features a detachable base with “concave areas for storing game controllers” and VESA mounting compatibility. The monitor costs $1,500 in the United States, but its availability in European markets is unknown at this time.
