00:00Hey guys, we're here at CES Island 24 with Acer to check out the brand new Predator Z57
00:0657-inch gaming monitor. This is a big deal. Let's check it out
00:09This is basically two 4k 32-inch monitors in one and it looks fantastic right now
00:15I'm playing Forza Horizon 5 and it's it's awesome. I'm loving it
00:19One of the benefits of having a monitor this size with the curve is that you actually feel really enveloped
00:24within whatever games you're playing. I feel it's best for racing games and
00:29First-person shooters so you could really see all the environments around you especially in a first-person shooter
00:33So nobody could sneak up on you and even though in racing games, you're mainly just focusing on the middle
00:38I feel that seeing the giant environment around you. It just helps you become more immersed and
00:44With this monitor specifically it has a 120 Hertz refresh rate, which I feel is really really good for
00:51Just keeping everything looking nice and smooth
00:53I can't speak about the the colors and brightness like, you know number wise
00:57But to my eyes, it looks really nice really colorful and it's just a pleasing experience
01:02Again, it's just super immersive
01:03I love these kind of monitors as great as these
01:06Super ultra wide monitors could be the main drawback is that if you're playing on a PlayStation 5
01:12Xbox Series X that most games since they're at 16 by 9 aspect ratio. You're gonna have like empty space on the side
01:19So that would that's one of the drawbacks
01:21This is really a monitor for PC gamers and even not all PC games have that aspect ratio
01:27So that's something to keep in mind if you're looking into getting this right now. We're looking at a q2 release date
01:32It's gonna set you back 2499. I know that's kind of pricey
01:36But considering you're getting again to 4k 32 inch monitors and one and you get such an immersive experience
01:42I think it's worth it, especially if you're like a true hardcore gamer
01:45But just remember not every game could take advantage of the aspect ratio
01:49But if you're playing games like racing games or first-run shooters that can take advantage, I think it's worth it
01:55Alright guys, so that was our first look at the Predator Z 57 57 inch gaming monitor, you know me
02:00I'm a big sucker for big gaming monitors and this is right up my alley. It's so awesome
02:05But that's just what I think I want to know what you have to say
