Jumping to a QD-OLED display with a high refresh rate can get expensive very quickly, but Amazon has carved a sizeable chunk off one of Acer’s speedier Predator models.
As of Aug. 20, the Acer Predator’s 26.5-inch F5 QD-OLED gaming monitor (X27U model) has been discounted to $499.99 at Amazon. That’s $300 off its original $799.99 price tag, for a 38% discount. Sold and shipped by Amazon directly, free delivery is estimated for Aug. 25 at the time of writing, and it even comes with the retailer’s usual 30-day refund or replacement policy if there are any issues.
The Predator X27U F5 combines a 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution with a QD-OLED panel, delivering the deep blacks and punchy contrast OLED is known for. It’s especially great for competitive play, as its 500Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time are geared towards extremely high-frame-rate games like Fortnite and Counter-Strike 2.
Even when you’re playing the newest titles like Marvel: TOKON Fighting Souls, the included AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility help keep gameplay looking smooth and reduce tearing.
What’s more, this gaming monitor’s panel comes with another must-have feature: 99% DCI-P3 coverage and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, adding extra appeal for anyone prioritizing richer colors and stronger HDR performance alongside raw speed.
On the off-chance you’re willing to spend a bit more, the massive 57-inch Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 gaming monitor is still $650 at Amazon. For anyone looking for an extra cheap monitor to have on the side, Samsung’s 32-inch Odyssey G5 gaming monitor has never been cheaper.
