Acer's 500 Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor drops to $509.99 in Newegg sale
The Predator X27U F5 combines a 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED panel with 500 Hz refresh rates and DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, now available at a 36% discount.
While component pricing remains stubbornly high across storage and memory, a significant discount has emerged on a premium gaming display. Newegg is currently selling the Acer Predator X27U F5 (model F5bmiippruzx) for $509.99, down from its $799.99 list price. This 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED monitor brings together a 500 Hz refresh rate and DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, delivering both speed and visual quality for demanding users.
The panel itself represents a later generation of QD-OLED technology in the 27-inch, 2560x1440 format, which enables the exceptionally high refresh rate and brightness improvements over earlier iterations. Acer has reused the Predator X27U name across product generations, so the F5 variant on sale represents the newer, improved version with better specifications than its predecessor.
Display capabilities
OLED technology inherently delivers near-zero black levels, infinite contrast ratios, and exceptional viewing angles and response times. The DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification distinguishes this model by guaranteeing minimum brightness of 500 nits in HDR mode and full-screen brightness of at least 300 nits. This certification addresses a historical weakness of OLED displays by ensuring consistent brightness across different content types and screen conditions.
The monitor achieves peak brightness of 1000 nits at 3% panel coverage, providing punchy highlights during fast-action sequences. The color reproduction covers 99% of the DCI-P3 gamut with native 10-bit color depth support. For variable refresh rate gaming, the display includes AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync Compatible certification.
Connectivity and design
The included stand offers height, tilt, and swivel adjustments for ergonomic positioning. The F5 revision omits a proximity sensor and certain accessories found in earlier versions, contributing to its lower price point. Connectivity includes USB-C alongside two DisplayPort 1.4 ports and two HDMI 2.1 inputs. A pair of 5W speakers complete the feature set.
