Spending $700 on a display can feel steep, especially for someone managing a multi-monitor setup that features a prominent ultrawide OLED. Yet a current promotion from Acer via B&H Photo is proving irresistible. The 39-inch expansive ultrawide OLED panel is now available for $699.99, marking a $500 reduction from its standard cost.
The Acer Predator X39 expands on the design of the X34 model by increasing the panel's height and width while retaining the 3440×1440 resolution. This choice may divide opinions, as larger screens often boost resolution to 5120 pixels across. However, it suits those seeking a more expansive view for text and images or aiming to sustain high frame rates without investing in a premium graphics card. With its 240Hz refresh rate and 0.01ms response time, the display demands substantial hardware to fully utilize its potential.
Key specifications also encompass an integrated KVM switch for handling several devices, an 800R curvature that emphasizes immersion (unsuitable for flat-panel enthusiasts), support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and a USB-C connection offering 90 watts of power delivery. These attributes position it as an excellent match for gaming laptops, a feature absent in many other OLED options.
This unit is brand new, not a refurbished item, and its pricing aligns with that of compact, lower-speed alternatives from a few years back, underscoring its value. Black Friday promotions are approaching in under two weeks, so holding off could yield further savings if a purchase isn't immediate. For more options, consider PCWorld's guide to top-rated displays.
