Acer's 57-inch Predator Z57 Lands in Retail
For those unhappy with the resolution of most ultrawide displays on the market, Acer's new addition to its Predator line should please most of you, as it has a DUHD resolution which is better known as 7680 x 2160 pixels, aka dual 4K. The Predator Z57 also sports a 2304 zone MiniLED backlight which equals 1152 zones on a standard 4K display. Thanks to the MiniLED backlight, the Predator Z57 also gets a VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification. However, the 120 Hz VA display panel might not be to everyone's liking, alongside the 1000R curvature.
Other features include support for AMD FreeSync Premium, 98 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space, an HDMI 2.1 port, a USB Type-C port with 90 W USB-PD support, integrated KVM support, but seemingly no support for DP 2.1. The stand offers height, tilt and swivel adjustments and the display also sports a pair of built in 10 W speakers. Acer hasn't released the full specs of the display, but it retails for US$1,999.99 and can be ordered from Acer in the US now with Europe seemingly following shortly.

It's a really immersive experience for a select few games (racing, multiplayer FPS), but there's too many issues with 32:9 to use it as a general purpose gaming display, in my opinion. I went back to 55" 4k 16:9.
I'd love a really large 21:9 screen with 5040x2160 resolution, high refresh rate, and great HDR, but no such display exists yet
I also think this super ultrawide 32:9 are kind of dumb but someone must be buying them otherwise they wouldn't continue to make them. 38/40 are in a bit of a niche and most people settle for the similar and cheaper 34'' so we're shit out of luck.They were immediately discounted, as usual with Dell, 1800$ right now on Dell US without applying any promo codes people usually use.
Seriously why businesses put 2 x 1k mini-led back light into this 57" monster when they can make 2x4025QW with it!
