Acer Predator Deals & Offers

yeah a minor difference, mostly to do with the range that the syncing works. it's not a huge deal but the monitors im looking at are only like £20 less then this and I would pay the extra for Full gsync

Is there a difference? I thought nVidia were supporting freesync these days.

Is this fully Gsync or just a compatible freesync monitor?

Most OLEDs cant reach 1000 nits and that do can only do so very briefly. Not really comparable to a monitor with real always on HDR 1000 or a QLED that has real HDR 2000+ unless you play in a dark room. Don't worry about any of this while you have a PS4. The best initial upgrade you could make to latency and frame rate performance would be buying an Xbox One X. Or a PC. If you really want to know the details, see: https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/asus-rog-swift-pg43uq-review.html

Thanks for explaining. I saw some of the higher end ones reach 1k. How much is the difference in input lag etc, I generally play PS4 on my tv and never really notice any lagging as such. What’s freesync/gsync?

The LG you linked is a 31.5 inch monitor, this deal is a 24.5 inch. That's like a 7 inch difference in size. Good deal though, a friend recently asked me about getting a bigger monitor, it might be his cup of tea.

G-sync and Free-sync. Both.

Not g sync ?

Wow 100% adobe and G-sync 144Hz. This is crazy price.

I would suggest to go for this one instead: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lg-ultragear-32gk650f-quad-hd-315-144hz-freesync-va-lcd-monitor-30268-at-currysebay-with-code-3457116

Also spent many many hours on Avp2 as a child. It was my favourite online PvP game.

I spent many hours playing the original avp online, circa 2000? Brilliant game and hours of online fun. May get this just for the nostalgia :D

Even better on Fanatical. It's £2.88 with 5% off code (FREFeW0lnGkezFxOj)

Even better (highfive)

Just bagged it from Game billet for £2.99

Sold out now :(

Yeah. Sub £1000.. is what I'm looking for. There was a Lenovo for sub 1k.

Way too expensive for a clunky 17". Would expect/hope to see something in 14" or 15" at this sort of price

I bought my ProteusVI from PC Specialist last Year, which was a good spec for the price, so might be worth looking on there too. I7 8750H RTX2070 144hz IPS Screen Corsair 32Gb DDR4 2666 2TB Intel 660p SSD 2TB Firecuda SSHD Killer AX 1650 wifi Master Gel thermal paste Was about £1500

Lucky you, my first one achieved-216° (lol) (lol)

Hi seven324 Don't get me wrong this was a good deal but not quite as expected As the picture of the original listing shows it doesn't state "Loot-crate Specific Variation" or the fact there were only two of them It mentions "Blind Bags" it mentions "Alien Vs Predator" and I accept it only shows pictures of two out of the 12 - I looked into how many in the series before buying and decided to play the odds I ordered 35 as I thought that was the minimum for free delivery - later realised it was just £25 for free delivery Yes I opened every single one My discussions with Loot Crate were interesting - I used humour explaining my excitement followed by disappointment - even sent pictures My first email was not replied to - I allowed time for them to respond taking into account home working due to Covid etc etc etc and resent my email 15 days later and got a response Their first offer was for me to keep one and an extra 5 for family and friends - return the rest and they would refund full amount and return p&p Fair offer which I thanked them for but not exactly practical and would have cost them more - when I pointed this out they sent a refund of £10 - I accepted this and put it down to a "life lesson" There are so many more important things going on to argue the toss If you click on the link now the current listing is so much more reflective of what is available so it looks like they listened It also indicated that other buyers did actually return stock?

There aren't 12 in this series, though? There are 12 in the normal Alien Vs Predator Titan series, but this is a lootcrate-specific variation, which was limited to just the 2. Very disappointing if this is only the Predator figure though as there was definitely the option to get either of them when it was in a Lootcrate, would have prefered a Xenomorph. Did you actually open all 35 or does it show on the box?

Are they blind box or not? Lootcrate definitely had both the Alien and Predator in these boxes, but the comments here suggest it's only the Predator figure.

Ok here is a picture of the original listing There are actually 12 in this "Blind Bag" series and the picture shows two variations I Ordered 35 assuming "incorrectly" that they were truly blind bagged and I would play the odds of getting more of the 12 than just 35 of exactly the same one Looks like I was not the only one and some have been returned Although after my feedback they have now changed the listing I would not use this company again

These are back in stock mine came today I was surprised it’s bigger than a standard blind box figure

OOS now 😥

its a flat clicker!

Why change your responses to try and make yourself look like you came off better? If you can’t be proud of what you wrote the first time, maybe you shouldn’t have posted it.

Snowflake ;)

Just a heads up for anyone considering this deal, Currys are also doing a Nitro 7 which has a better build quality than the Nitro 5 with an i7-9750H processor, Nvidia 1660Ti 6GB card and a 144hz panel for about £150 more if you go through topcashback.

That lenovo ticks every box but the single channel ram is just keeping me from pulling the trigger

I would say the lenovo is much better, much better cpu and better price, more ram...

Great deal Thats one of the fastest mobile processors there are. great for the price. Few will need anything better than that and with stadia/geforce now etc you wont need much more, ever graphic card wise. Cpu will last for years.

Was seen in Birmingham branch, I'll pay a visit within next couple of days I can have a look and report back here.

Works perfectly on my rig but my pc is top of the range won it recently in a competition worth £3000 has an i9 processor and a graphics card is nvidia something called a Geforce RTX 2080TI TURBO and 64gb ram i believe its a pretty top of the range machine every game i have played is smooth ands much better than my xbox for sure but yeah this game cant see me playing it as much as other games of the same style but no problems with it. No idea what predator ip is so cant really give much more info hope that helps bass! Haha looks like ALV removed his post you stuck him good no idea whay folks are complainin except for the fact the game is a bit one dimensional it plays fine!

Yeah it doesnt have longevity of play not that i am an expert on playing this sort of game as I am mainly WOT but World War Z is a better bet!

Played it for 3 hours today, and its mediocre. Just too shallow. The Predator/Alien ip's are getting embarrassing to the point of a laughing stock.

How rude why do folks on here have to be so confrontational why couldnt you have been polite? Have manners and common decency suddenly disappeared these days? Says at the bottom to go easy as this is my first post as well lol Nice one ALV! I dont smoke. Its working perfectly fine on my rig so it must be you who is smoking something. I was being sarcastic about the testing obviously as it seems a lot of people are complaining and why have they not put the minimum specs on the website! Free weekend to see how it goes for real - of course its part of the testing it may not be beta or alpha but you dont think they are going to be using it to evaluate their marketing and sales forecasts? You clearly have no idea what "porting" from one completely hetereogenous computing environment to another means - i dont know any that have worked perfectly on different hardware or even platforms! Try googling Hardware abstraction/Fragmentation and operating system resource contention! If you had bothered to post your pc specs that would have been more polite and encourage a debate , comparison and help us to work out if there is a possible hardware problem but jno you just make fun, how sad! I used to be a systems and games programmer you just play them bit of a difference but back to playing with your joystick!

Yeah but what are your pc specs processor memory and most importantly gfx card? The game seems to be designed for core i9 and top graphics cards? If you understand games programming you will understand how the coding functions ie if interrupts are used for the subroutine that detects key presses or if its just in the main core of the coding and how quickly the redraw routines work if they are synced to the hardware, if you have a slow processor then non irq generated keypress routines will be affected as will all the other routines. Compare it to World War Z i can actually play that on my core i5 laptop , try Predator and i cant even move the character like 3 frames per second its totally unplayable! Have you actually checked the minimum specs for the game? Go on have a look lol There arent any - because they are obviously using this weekend to find out how many people cant play it on their current rig as i said above - its obviously because they built the game using top of the range machines so a lot of folks are going to be SOL! I used to work in the industry and a lot of the games companies are so lazy they dont cater for us users with ancient pc's! The standard of games programming, in fact any kind of programming is 100 times less than when i was programming machine code back in the 1980's - guys like David Braben and Jeff Minter dont exist anymore!!!

Do you work for Webuy? Anyone know of they are any good?

A few used 17" ones with better specs than this: https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=slaphp17cd002421b https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=slapcybpowtra31701b https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=slapmsigf759sc66a https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=slaphp17an01366b https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=slapasugl703g65b https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail?id=slapleny9101000b

Your deals are both 15.6 inch screens

We bought this a couple of weeks ago with 10% TCB - it runs our sons' games (Fortnite/Planet Coaster etc) on maxed out graphics very nicely. Lovely big screen and good sound. We'd recommend it.

My son plays on a hp pavilian i5 9300h gtx1650 and its great, he plays tonnes of new games at decent frame rates on medium/high settings no problem, i have helios 300 i7 gtx 1660ti and id be happy with the 1650 after trying it

People who buy ultrawide monitors to game are an almost complete opposite category to people playing CSGO competitively. If you have any ambitions of playing in any sort of tournament, then 24" 1080p 144+hz is your target, because any larger means you'll need to move your head to focus at screen edges/corners and 24" is the standard tournament size, so you'll have to get used to that anyway.

Tell that to the people who go ultrawide.

27 inches usually too big for a game which really takes advantage of 240hz, like CSGO, since too much of the screen is outside of central eyeline focus.

I like the Predator brand. It’s cool right? I want one but one that compliments my Pro & my X. That sounds funnier than expected (lipstick) . Which should I get?

For someone that has played on a 27 inch 1080p screen, its lacking. No question about it you're going to notice its pixilated. Still decent but at that size I would really consider 1440p

Seen several offers here and on eBay that let you get a 1650 GPU for around the £700 mark (the 15% off HP laptops at AO.com offer, and the recently-expired Lenovo flash sale).

...got this one 2 years ago for £660 from AO, so don't think it is worth the same kind of money now (skeptical)

Massively over priced for a 1050 ti. £500 tops

Seems a little too pricey for a 1050Ti equipped laptop. I would have hoped for a 1060 at least for this price.

I wouldn't want a 1050ti for a gaming PC now. Would definitely want something more powerful

Yes, agreed. Played about 4 games then uninstalled and back onto Warzone. Got landed with Predator first game; no idea what i was doing but great fun....for about 5 minutes then the novelty value wore off. Trying not to be too critical as part of the point of these is to give them something to polish off and work on before the full release, but my initial thoughts were: - Graphics wise it looked like an early PS3 game, especially some of the vegitation and undergrowth when moving. - Marines firepower seemed very OTT. From my games as part of the four man squad i felt guns were all absolute beasts with little to no recoil. - Controls in general were quite awkward and clunky. Plenty things to work on and improve. It might work out as a success and no doubt the drawing power of the franchise will sell itself but initial overall impressions not great. Will be a tenner or on PS+ within six months......

I got playing it anyway and it's a no from me - it is glitchy - it even reported that they are aware of long waits (an actual popup in the game). Clunky, poor AI, it plays like a beta. No clear direction. I gave it a try, played 3 sessions as the marine and decided it best to delete it. (I also hated the fact that you had to click past the advert to buy it - before I had even played it!) *Spoiler alert* Oh and I downed the Predator who started the countdown - there is no way you could outrun the blast radius, there is also no way to kill the Predator from a far enough distance to remain out of the blast radius!

Well, this trial has cemented my decision. It's a no from me dawg. 8)

Cold, cold, cold, it might be just an age verification thing, but it's looking for my credit card details. Nope, no way, free trial is a free trial, I ain't entering my credit card details....

Agree - I went and bought that too! It was something to do with the licensing? They then gave the game away, grrr, there is a very similar style game too, can remember what it's called though (Found it - Dead by daylight - plays very similar to Friday 13th!). Anyway as long as they didn't mess the franchise up I'll give it a download (If I can find space on my PS4 - I just downloaded a huge CoD:Warzone update!). Heat added, thanks for the heads up!

The joys of autocorrect (y)

Acer*

Wooooo Sheffield.

I have this monitor. Build quality is poor, it has terrible clouding and backlight bleed. The screen is coming away from the frame in places, allowing the backlight to shine out between the screen and bezel. Pixel response time is awful. You get ghosting, smearing and all that 24/7. Trying to watch a movie on it is just painful.

Comes with 6 months Spotify for new accounts also.

Where from? :)

Nice, all good to hear (y)

Update (I can feel you from across the internet) opened up the laptop, had a small piece of plastic from the case cover where it pops onto the base resting on too of the speaker. Was causing the distortion. Took it off and now it's perfect. Lossless audio file tested and it's a really great set of speakers for a laptop. So absolutely nothing to complain about this laptop apart from noise when gaming (desktop stuff is quiet), but yeah, gaming laptops, and the look of the laptop, which is gamery. I'm going to look for a debrand skin. The screen is brilliant. The brightness, whites, contrast ratio, blacks, and colours are so much better than my other lg ips. I'm honestly surprised how good ips panels are getting these days. I'm definitely glad I went with 17 inch...15 would be too small for god shooters and tarkov with its inventory system. The frames are excellent in tarkov, it's noticeably easier to get headshots with the frames and 144 panel, and the temps stay under 85 for the CPU and like 70 or so for the GPU...gonna undervolt it even more and see if I can reduce these further. Yeah, totally pleased with it overall.

I wish it was more (lol)

Hopefully that's all she can feel across the room lol.

I've got several CRTs, consumer and broadcast, largely from before 'retro' was cool and cost a bomb. I've also repaired a ton of CRTs and related electronics over the years. An adaptive sync monitor and a CRT are completely different beasts, neither is 'better' than the other and these kind of conversations are often reductive and misinformed.

Yeah, but that Sony monitor costs more than double this one. I’d kill for one though - the digital foundary vids on it were great

adapters can cause latency, the only reason to buy a crt is for the faster response times so if you add an adapter that will cause latency then it sorta defeats the whole point

Ever heard of an adapter

And what graphics card will you use to feed it component or SDI ? Your trolling right ?
