Acer Predator Deals & Offers

thanks vm. I frequent the hardware subs and I learned something.

Do I need to say that's more expensive again?

What about the price? It is this low because it uses the cheapest, lowest quality parts. There are TN panel monitors significantly better in regard to input lag, ghosting for less than £50 more like the XF240H, ok for entry-level high refresh rate gaming and has Freesync support, but still unacceptable for colour reproduction. If you want a 144hz monitor and can only afford this, you're better off waiting another month or whatever to save the extra money for something that isn't one of the worst possible choices.

You're not teaching anyone here, it's common knowledge. The point is the price.

being a TN panel is relevant for anybody interested in image quality and accuracy. Anybody doing image or video editing as well as gaming wants more than a mediocre looking screen, whether or not its smooth as hell

No, the X amount off X spend. You can use them on anything, it was a £25 off £50+.

Yes but the 3 weeks going back and forth you mise well just go to the manufacturer and save the hassle, trust me ive been there

If you're talking about 20% off voucher I get them. Computer products are excluded along with most other useful items. I was going to get an rtx 2080 with it.

If this was a recent issue, flag it up on Resolver making sure you change your very email address on the account to the resolver email they give you. We managed to get a full refund and £140 compensation directly from them due to the stress they caused through mishandling our faulty item.

They can tell you what they like but your contract is with them. Probably would have bought this if I hadn't just spent my money off voucher on something else.

Also has fans to keep it cool a frikkin monitor at this price needs fans to keep it cool

Only 98 lol

What is wrong with these tech companies, first Nvidia now Acer, they want to kill the PC gaming or what....

Bleeding edge hardware with a fan, I wouldn't mind seeing an updated version of Asus PG279.

I really want all the specs on this monitor, preferably ultrawide, but this price is just insane for 27 inch. I bought the best ultrawide on the market a few years ago and it was £670, no way is this good value and it will inevitably half in price in a year. Once they have these specs in ultrawide for a grand i'll get it, until then i'll stick with my 3440 x 1440 ultrawide.

But we’re missing the point when comparing a disc to streaming, there not the same really, a 4K disc on a 4K player is head and shoulders better than any streaming I’ve experienced.

Oh dear.

I LOL'd at your last sentence, it definitely made my day! Don't get me wrong, I didn't vote the deal cold. If I were replacing my normal Blu-ray collection right now, I'd go for this, and yeah, the idea of watching 4k via the current streaming services, why bother?

Predator 1987 in 4k hahah

Fair play if you want to wait for a complete set but I want it now (arriving today in fact) and I want the full 4K experience, not a compressed 4K stream from iTunes. This is the cheapest way I can do that. Come on..come on! Do it! Do it! Come on..come on! Buy me! I’m here! Buy me! I’m here! Buy me! Come on! Buy me! I’m here! Come on! Do it now! Buy me!

Short answer: it depends. Some panels are able to increase their refresh rate as the resolution decreases. Others cannot. Multiple variables at play here. The safe bet is usually that you'll have to drop the resolution considerably to have a chance to gain anything, and unless it's a reported feature for that specific model, assume that it won't and rather just get the model with the refresh and resolution you actually want.

You know when monitors say 4K at 60hz.. does that mean if you were to do 1440p that would also be 60hz?

Haha, posted this monitor in May from scan for the same price, got -80° because "why would anyone pay this much for a monitor" :( Bought it though and I love it. Only down side is I see a bit of ghosting/motion blur, even at 120hz when playing fast paced games like siege or overwatch. Screen quality is amazing, and I've realised that EVERY monitor stand should have a handle on it to pick it out of the box

Amazon offer a pretty decent 3 year warranty for a token sum. Might be worth paying out for peace of mind. £54....... Amazon Protect 3 year Breakdown & Accidental Damage Cover for Monitors from £750 to £799.99 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01DO4DULO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_z2GTBb2TKXEW4

Cheers was waiting for an Amazon price match will get now!

Buy an iTunes gift card from Zeek for 5-6% discount. Then get 7% cashback from Quidco.

You can get a Logan digital code for £3 fiddy on eBay for Itunes, also a couple of other films in 4k. I know some people would prefer to buy off iTunes tho.

Logan.. such a depressing film!

Well that’s different, that’s telling porkies haha :p

Actually bud, I think you can do it a handful of times if you state “playback problems” as the reason, but id only use that if you absolutely needed your money back and other options were not available.

Nanana a Batman!

Got mine today and it looks great. I had to turn the luminescence right down and the LED thingy off but I'm really pleased with it. Lara never looked so good.

Your monitor should be on 10-20% brightness when in a dark room. (mine is on zero brightness at night). Used at these settings most monitors have no visible bleed.

My one.

Wonder what the price might be during the Black Friday deals.

Are you stupid?

Are you crying about giving 16p to charity? REALLY? 16P?

To be fair, they only earn £30k per year ... so we really shouldn't expect too much charity from them (shock)

If I remember it correctly, AVP was ridiculously hard?

Moans about having to give a small amount to charity, and then obviously buys it and moans again about what's included without reading things first :/

Ah like a traffic jam, when you're already late? (excited)

Would you like to spread this one round? (highfive) https://www.cnet.com/news/no-apple-didnt-delete-that-guys-movies-heres-what-really-happened/

This applies to all digital content you buy : https://www.consumerreports.org/consumerist/that-amazon-video-you-bought-you-may-not-actually-be-able-to-watch-it/

Is their any built in drm that could destroy your backup after a new iTunes app update? Like for example when netflix downloads expire? Or is there no way for them to di this? I'm assuming it's maybe possible if the downloaded film only plays through itunes and is formatted specifically for that media player.

As they say in their T’s & C’s they recommend you download and and backup your purchases. Granted you can’t currently download the 4K versions but that’s the studios stipulation of keeping 4K prices at HD prices.

£450.17

Currently £459.99 (y)

Errrr....no, you just run it at 16:9. It looks exactly the same as on a 16:9 monitor.

"no compromise" except the orange glow in the corners.

Great monitor. Managed to get it for £450 on Primeday. I reckon these will go down to that again on Black Friday, you never know though...
