The product Acer plans to provide to the events was recently showcased at the Acer Middle East Annual Press Conference. The Acer Predator line has earned countless industry awards and accolades for giving a competitive edge to gamers, a huge leap considering that the high-performance Predator line was launched last year. The Acer Predator XB241H sports a brilliant 24-inch Full HD 1080p display featuring NVIDIA G-Sync, a quick 1ms response and up to a fast 144Hz refresh rate rendering fast-moving actions and dramatic transitions without smearing or ghosting. Furthermore, for enthusiasts and professionals who like to push gaming to the outer limits, the Predator XB241H can be overclocked up to 180Hz. It also provides wide viewing angles with accurate colors up to 170 degrees horizontally and 160 degrees vertically, so no targets are missed.
But that’s not all, the Acer Predator XB241H also features GameView which lets gamers quickly and easily toggle between three customizable profiles to tweak settings in-game without the need to navigate an OSD menu, a significant benefit when every second counts. Other settings include the ability to adjust black levels to ensure every threat is seen, aim-point assistance to get a lead on opponents and perfect the shot, and the ability to select the on-screen refresh rate.
Acer EyeProtect leveraging flicker-less, blue-light filter, ComfyView and low-dimming technologies prevents glare and allows the user to reduce blue light emissions, which may help decrease eye fatigue during long gaming matches. VESA wall mountable, the Predator XB241H maximizes desk space and the stand can be adjusted up to 5.9 inches and tilted from -5 to 35 degrees for more comfortable viewing. Powerful connectivity is enabled via HDMI and DisplayPort.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Acer to the game as a partner as we get ready to celebrate the competitive pinnacle of 2016 and crown a new World Champion,”
– Jarred Kennedy, Riot Games.
