Editor’s Summary
Acer announced the 43-inch Predator CG437K P large format gaming display (LFGD) is now available in the United States. Featuring a trifecta of the best technologies, including a giant 4K screen, up to 144Hz overclocking and VESA-Certified DisplayHDR™ 1000 certification, it’s the ultimate monitor for hardcore PC and console gaming enthusiasts seeking bigger and brighter gameplay.
The ultra-high definition (3840 x 2160) 4K VA panel delivers sharp images, while a 1ms response time and up to a 144Hz refresh rate (120Hz native) via overclocking helps gamers respond quickly to gain an advantage over opponents. Leveraging AdaptiveSync and NVIDIA® G-Sync® compatibility, it syncs to the frame rate of the system’s graphics card to eliminate stuttering, resulting in uninterrupted game play, so gamers can best focus on the task at hand. In addition, the CG437K also supports a variable refresh rate (VRR) via HDMI to provide smooth gaming on Xbox One consoles.
With a wide color gamut of 90% of the DCI-P3 color space, low Delta E<2 color accuracy and VESA-Certified DisplayHDR™ 1000 certification, colors are richer and blacks deeper, creating more vibrant images that pop with supreme contrast and color accuracy. The Predator CG437K P not only packs a giant display, but carries dual 10-watt speakers that deliver immersive and lifelike audio.
Futuristic, Flexible Design
The Predator CG437K P was designed with sleek angular details and refined panels for a futuristic, yet understated look and feel. It comes with four magnetic LED light strips offering 9 different modes with special lighting effects that can be attached to the back and programmed to gameplay, music or video. The solid metal stand is sleekly sculpted, yet strong and rigid to support the large panel, while the detachable base has concave areas for conveniently storing game controllers.
A bundled remote control and VESA mount compatibility affords the enjoyment of gameplay, movies and more from the comfort of the couch. Excellent connectivity includes a variety of ports, including Type-C, three HDMI, two DisplayPort 1.4, two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0. With USB Type-C, gamers can view their favorite mobile games on this huge display with friends using joysticks and smartphones via Bluetooth.
Power-Saving Technologies
A light sensor detects the room’s light level and automatically adjusts brightness to optimize visual comfort. With its built-in proximity sensor, the Predator CG437K P is able to detect if someone is within range. It wakes up when a person is close and enters a power-saving mode when they leave the area. If no one is detected for an extended length of time, the display enters standby mode.
Pricing and Warranty
The Predator CG437K P gaming monitor is available in the United States for $1,499.99 MSRP.
Acer displays are backed by professional, high-quality technical support and a standard three-year parts and labor warranty.(2)

About the 2 displayports, the manual states:
"DP1 + DP2: AMD Gfx card can support max Timing resolution (3840x2160-144Hz), Not Support (AdaptiveSync & HDR)".
Question 1: How am I suppose to use the 2 displayports at the same time, unless I have 2 graphic cards? I actually do have 2 gpu - Does that mean that I just put on dp cable in on gpu and the other dp cable in the other gpu? The manual does not say what they expect to be "in the other end" of those 2 displayports.
Question 2: As I wrote, I have have 2 gpu's (2x Nvidia RTX 2080ti). But the sentence from the manual only mentions AMD cards. It that because AMD cards have a limitation or is it because only AMD cards can use the 2 displayports at the same time?
What you see on page 10 of the User's Guide means the following:
If you use 1 DP you can get up to 120Hz (G-Sync compatible, AdaptiveSync & HDR).
If you use 2 DP (overclocked) you can get up to 144Hz (you do not need to have 2 graphics cards, most graphic cards bring 2 display ports).
Graphic cards must be AMD to get the 144Hz and when at 144Hz overclocked AdaptiveSync & HDR will not work.
So with your Nvidia RTX 2080ti, you will be able to get up to 120Hz only.

So does that mean that even if I connect the 2 displayports at the back of one of my RTX 2080ti to the monitor, it won't make a difference? I will in all circumstances only be able to run 120 hz?

Here are the conditions: (you can refer to the user guide manual page 10)

Thanks a lot for the answers. It does not makes sense to me though. With 2x 2080ti I have more than enough power for 4k at 144 hz. Of course it's a nice-to-have thing when it's only 24 hz difference at the price of HDR and sync. But why is 144 hz only supported on AMD cards?
Thanks,
Acer-Manny
Yeah, but why?

I really can't find any information on this. Wondering if the VA panel is RGB or BGR?

Importing one from the US is too cost prohibitive in terms of import taxes on top of the unfavourable exchange rates
Will it support Xbox One X at 1440/120hz with VRR on?
Acer - Manny is actually wrong on this one.

I was going to buy it from B&H but they have a notice that this CANNOT BE CANCELED AND IS NON-RETURNABLE! Well what if I run into an issue? I won’t buy this $1500 item from a store that doesn’t have my back. At least with Amazon they will exchange monitors for dead pixels etc.. Will this ever be available at Best Buy?
Is there a production delay or manufacturing issue going on?
ACER TAKE MY MONEY. Seriously though, how do I get this thing?
