OLED displays command premium prices, with ultrawide variants adding to the cost and larger models pushing it further. Currently, B&H Photo has slashed the price of the 39-inch Acer Predator OLED monitor to $699.99, delivering an $800 reduction that exceeds 50% off the list price.
The Predator X39 builds on the foundation of the Predator X34 by expanding the 3440x1440 resolution across a 39-inch panel instead of 34 inches. Key features include a 240Hz refresh rate paired with a 0.01ms response time for seamless gaming performance, USB-C input supporting 90 watts of power delivery to pair effectively with laptops, additional USB connectivity for a software-based KVM switch, and integrated speakers that are best avoided.
Its increased dimensions and sharp 800R curvature could limit suitability for productivity or professional setups. The substantial weight may require a robust mounting solution for stability. For users desiring an immersive OLED experience on gaming rigs or portables without committing to 4K, this screen stands out as a strong pick.
Those finding $700 beyond reach might explore other 1440p OLED options priced near $400. For broader recommendations, PCWorld's compilation of leading monitors offers valuable insights.
