Acer Predator Deals & Offers

Soem people don't realise using the word underrated, is opposite to what they mean. Overrated is the word you're looking for.

Two is awesome, just the whole war zone shoot out bit where Danny's character rams the car in to save those cops. Ending is great when the predators show him respect and give him a gun.

It's done full 80s mode with robocop tracking down the predator in a full shoot out that wipes out 5 city blocks. 1st ago was pretty good but the bishop thing was a little weird.

Blasphemous words against the awesome Danny Glover (devil)

Predators was not bad but a long way behind 1&2 - 2 is so underrated it's a joke

Lol Fair enough, Hotdeals must have auto added them tags when I updated the info last night and I just didnt notice. XD

I Is it because physical media is dying in an increasingly digital entertainment marketplace?

Downvoted as tagged gaming laptop &... isn't.

Ah yeah - I think you're right. Just looked new and funky to my old eyes. Thanks!

Theres a reason this is cheap...just saying...

You can do your own colour correction along with downloading a specialised colour profile specifically for the model and tweak from there. That's what i did and it made it look much much better. It is a TN panel though so blacks are pretty shit

I own this monitor. It's very rarely cheaper than £450. This deal is fookin scorchio folks

I bit! Cheers this looks to be just what I've been looking for. Had to sign up for prime again though but think it was worth it for this price.

THIS IS HAWWWWWWWT. Should be several hundred degrees of hotness

Ummed and ahhed for ages over this or the IPS version and have gone for this thanks to amount of people having issues with bad IPS glow and BLB on the IPS model. Knowing my luck I'll get a crap TN panel now :/ I've used 60hz IPS monitors for the past 10 years, hopefully going back to TN won't be a mistake...

@alexwise yeah I got it on Thursdays it's mint condition

Hi, have you received your monitor? How was the condition?

Got mine today, think i won the panel lottery. Zero dead pixels, no dust under the screen and backlight bleed only a tiny bit visible on the lower right.

I have the TN version of this and love it. IPS should only be better!

The xb271hu's are known to have a white balance with a tad too much green resulting in a yellowish cast. If yours is slightly yellow, easy fix, open the monitors menu, click on Color, Color Temp - User, Click on "User" which will open up the white balance settings and drop the green value a little. I used a colorimeter on mine and ended up with R100-G95-B100. Without a colorimeter I would grab a piece of white paper and use that for reference.

Brilliant game. I tried playing the original AVP2 over the weekend. Really hasn't stood up to the test of time, but was worth the 10 minutes I played.

It is

This was the older one, i think 2010. I have it still installed and it is such a great game, multiplayer still some games to be had and infestation mode is a great laugh!

Do not confuse this with the terrible Colonial Marines. This is a good game, none of the campaign missions are particularly long, but the 3 together make for a decent enough SP experience. The graphics are decent, and the environments are really nice. And it's always fun being the predator or alien! When will Weyland-Yutani learn

Its cheap, im in :)

I know I'm so gutted. You understand as someone who clearly lives for Hot Uk Deals. HAHA!

Almost messed myself I thought it iwas 1440p

Its COLD not HOT

Its VA not TN!

It'd be ok except they've cut that chunk off the corner , spoils it a bit imo.

You trolling right? do you not follow pro cs? and understand basic resolution? your trolling, very funny lol. im being batied, but im on a 21:9 monitor so you must laugh at 16:9 players who dont have 21:9 correct

I laugh at 4:3 players, they get killed by people that they'd see with 16:9.

It is 49" diagonal, but 32:9 ratio, so 1080 on the vertical is not terrible, but I would still prefer 1440 myself. Yes, the AW3418DW and the X34P both use the same panel, which is a LG LM340UW4 panel. There a several comments about a new model coming out, but I don't think so. Other than the LG 950G, with the newer LM340UW5 panel, I don't know about any new 34" UW monitors expected soon. I don't expect the X34P to get superceded in 2018. Don't get confused by the new 144Hz 4k monitors, which cost over £2k, and are not direct replacements for these 34" UW monitors.

Does it have freeview?

I'd never pay this for a tv

No, it's the 2010 game (going by the image and the fact that it links to the 2010 game). There was Aliens vs Predator for the PC in 1999, made by Rebellion, and then Aliens vs Predator 2 in 2001, made by Monolith. Rebellion came back to make this reboot for PC and consoles in 2010. The original is also on Steam but AvP2 isn't (probably some complicated licensing issue). Yes, it's the original that's always discounted to 99p. I've got it on my wishlist but never bought it because I doubt I'll actually play it but I get a notification about it every sale. Checking price history, I think the lowest it's ever been on Steam is £2.49, although it has been £1.99 on GMG and only 83p on Nuuvem (although that might have been region locked).

I'm guessing this is the early 00s version????

Thanks for this, gonna have to purchase

My bad then. I think I got confused with the older version. Heat

AFAIK, this game has never been this cheap (always discounted to 1.99). It has been cheaper once though, but that was 4 years ago on a site that used to sell games at the price rate of South America.

Lol miles worse due to the curve I have a PG348Q and love it but you shouldn’t get the bleed you do for a £900 Monitor !

It's worse?

Move over to a IPS Ultrawide then you can moan about backlight bleed lol.

I had this Monitor and was the dogs nuts lol, but got the urge for ultrawide so sold it to a mate for £550 last year and got a PG348Q, But in all honestly this one is still better than my new one lol. Ooo and to add Acer has a top notch RMA Service. I had a Thunderfly get stuck in the screen and they covered it so got a new panel put in !

Have some heat..paid 528...earlier in the month and gotta admit the back light bleed is a pain.. but this HotUKDeals and not a review....this is hot hot hot

That would be a Terabyte. Lowercase b = bit.

Completely agreed! I didn't even notice that it was a refurb. I hold my hands up, bad deal

Would be 'ok' if brand new, but a refurb for £1200 with those specs is not great tbh.

The 6700 is perfectly fine for gaming and will be for a while yet. The SSD is a bit measly for the price though.

A 1 TB HHD is standard in pretty much every gaming laptop.

Awful blu ray transfers. Not all 35mm works for HQ conversion

They are pre-orders, won’t be out until August.

What won’t work? the first two films were shot on 35mm film so a proper 4K remaster is entirely possible

There is a new 4K remaster of Predator available on AppleTV and it looks fantastic so the UHD should use that.

Stick Around !!

Yep....I believe that dependant on the quality of the negative (as it can vary a lot) that 35 mm can actually support up to 8k with the original Ben Hur being a specific example. Analogue is the future!

The Blu-ray with it will be. As for the 4K - we have to wait and see

Actually looking at the Special Features list having a sneak peek of 2010's Predators (and not The Predator) I'm going to guess this is the Ultimate Hunter Edition again. So get ready for the waxiest 80's badasses

That site is a joke - anyone in the know knows that.

£10 more and a far less interesting case in exchange for 2 extra films which, let's be honest, suck compared to the original. How many people can there really be clamouring to watch Predator 2 in 4k?

Only thing putting me off buying one other than the price of course is their new offerings but god knows when they'll be out... Pretty sure nvidia has stated recently not to expect them any time soon...

Got mine paired with a Ti and it's a fantastic combo 8)

I got mine last week, absolutely love it. Just make sure you have a GPU strong enough to drive it in today's games ! I have a 1070 and it's got me thinking about upgrading to a 1080ti lol

You've just got yourself one hell of a bargain there.

Mine has just been dispatched :)

Thanks, been told it's not a blown pixel - looks like screen damage given the size of the bad area. Really frustrating.

You will probably get the monitor he is returning. They'll send it straight from his house. ;)

Damn sorry to hear that hopefully you can get it sorted out Amazon are usually great when it comes to returns etc... Mines is due tomorrow fingers crossed its fine and that I actually like it :)

I would recommend complaining to Amazon CS. You may get a gift card credit.

It arrived this morning and was clearly not new (manufacturer tape cut, parts not packaged correctly, finger prints all over the screen). Had a blown pixel and was likely returned by another customer. Currently waiting on an ETA for a new unit - told I may have to wait two days for their process to go through. Total cluster****.

It's a bargain for 144hz. Heat.

Shame no IPS but cant complain at this price and no speakers. No that it’d sound good but its a good feature to have

The best you can get at this price. I got this monitor for £160 and it was well worth it. You can clearly see the difference between 60hz and 144hz just make sure to take advantage of the extra hz that your machine can pushout over 90 fps comfortably. 144hz also only works over DVI-D ports.

Incredible price. Bought

Is this any good for gaming?
