Acer’s 32-inch 4K monitor with G-sync turns games into living works of art

While $600 headsets like the Oculus Rift are trying to take gaming toward a VR future, 4K displays are looming on the horizon as the logical next step for high-end PC gaming.

For Acer, that future is right now. The company has a new $1,200 32-inch Predator XB1 XB321HK gaming monitor with top-of-the-line features and capabilities that make an $800 HTC Vive headset seem reasonable by comparison. At that price, the Predator doesn’t skimp on much, and it is easily the best argument I’ve seen for the benefits of 4K gaming.
