Acer’s Latest Gaming Monitor Burns at 1,400-nits

Gaming monitors have been getting awfully expensive as top-tier models began promising up to 1,000-nits in peak brightness and a 4K picture paired with a high-refresh rate. Now Acer is upping the ante yet again with a 32-inch gaming monitor that hits a peak brightness of 1,440-nits.

The Predator X32 is Acer’s latest G-Sync Ultimate gaming monitor and it’s the biggest 16:9 model we’ve seen from this series so far, leapfrogging over the previous 27-inch Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ and Acer Predator X27. It packs a mini LED panel with 1,152 zone local dimming spread across its UHD (3,840 x 2,160) resolution display.

Additionally, the Predator X32 features a 144Hz refresh rate. It also supports 10-bit color and a color accuracy of Delta E <1, so it covers 99% of the AdobeRGB and 89.5% of the Rec2020 color gamut.

A lot of modern 4K TVs pale in comparison in peak brightness and local dimming zones compared to this VESA DisplayHDR 1400 certified gaming monitors. In fact, most of even the highest end TVs only hit a peak brightness around 1,000-nits and few offer more than 500 local dimming zones.

Of course, we’ll have to see just how gorgeous this gaming monitor actually look later this week and whether it’s as impressive as its specs suggest. The biggest bummer is this gaming monitor won’t come to market until the second quarter of this year—so roughly between April and June—and it costs a mind-blowing $3,599.

The Second Ever 55-inch OLED Gaming Monitor

The Predator CG552K is the largest gaming monitor Acer has ever introduced but given that it features a 55-inch OLED display, you might think of it as more of a 4K TV than a computer screen.

This new 55-inch Acer Predator OLED display in the first of its kind—after all Alienware introduced its own 55 OLED Gaming Monitor last year—but it offers some improved specs. Namely, the Predator CG552K offers up a 0.5ms response time and its G-Sync compatible so you’ll get the full benefit of variable refresh rate technology when playing with a Nvidia-powered gaming PC.

The screen is also DisplayHDR 400 support certified, so the panel can achieve a peak brightness of 400 nits while covering 98.5% of the wide DCI-P3 color space. Lastly, the Predator CG552K supports a refresh rate of 120Hz with overdrive support, which is impressive for a 4K display such as this.

What is the run time of Motorola battery?

Motorola batteries have two main ratings on them: Volts and Amperes. Because size and weight of batteries is limited when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings with Volts and Milliamperes. One thousand Milliamperes equals 1 Ampere. When buying a battery, select batteries with the most Milliamperes (or mAh). Batteries are also rated by Watt-Hours, perhaps the simplest rating of all. This is found by multiplying the Volts and the Amperes together. For example:

  • 14.4 Volts, 4000mAh (Note: 4000mAh is equal to 4.0 Amperes).
  • 14.4 x 4.0 = 57.60 Watt-Hours

Watt-Hours signifies the energy needed to power one watt for one hour.

ZOTAC introduces new mini PCs ahead of CES 2020

We’ve already seen a few announcements from big companies ahead of CES 2020, but smaller hardware vendors also have things to show off. ZOTAC, the Hong Kong manufacturer of PC components as well as its own PCs, has expanded its lineup of mini PCs ahead of the event.

There are plenty of new products, starting with a brand new line called Inspire Studio, which is aimed at media creators. It’s a white box with a desktop variant ZOTAC’s own variants of GeForce RTX SUPER cards, as well as 65W 8-core Intel processors up to a Core i7, though the generation is not specified. The PC has 32GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, a 2TB HDD, dual Ethernet connectivity, and Wi-Fi 6 support. It comes with Windows 10 Pro.

Next up us the new ZBOX edge line, an “ultra-thin form factor”, which has up to an Intel Core i5. There are two devices in this line, starting with the ZBOX M series edge MI643. It’s 1.12 inches (28.5mm) thick, one of the thinnest with an Intel Core processor. The chassis has plenty of ventilation holes, and it can be mounted on a wall with VESA mounts. It has 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5, and dual gigabit Ethernet ports. It has up to 64GB of DDR4 memory and has two M.2 SSD slots for storage.

Then there’s the ZBOX C series edge CI341, which is similar, except it’s passively cooled. It’s slightly larger, with 1.26 inches (32.1mm) of thickness, and it’s not as powerful, with a Celeron N4100 processor.

ZOTAC is also renewing the MAGNUS lineup with GeForce RTX SUPER graphics. In addition to desktop-size of its own RTX SUPER cards, the MAGNUS EC72070S and EC52060S have 45W Intel Core i5 or i7 processors – also lacking any sort of generational denomination currently -, and up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM. The MAGNUS EN92080V opts for an RTX 2080, but comes with an Intel Core i9 processor instead.

The ZBOX nano lineup is also getting a refresh, and for the first time since 2015, there are models available with AMD CPUs. The two models are the ZBOX M Series MA621 nano and the ZBOX C series CA621 nano, which are the same except the M series model is actively cooled, while the C series model relies on passive cooling. They’re both powered by the AMD Ryzen 3 3200U with Radeon Vega 3 graphics, or by your choice of 10th-generation 15W Intel Core processors, all the way up to a Core i7.

Finally, ZOTAC is announcing the VR GO 3.0 backpack PC, featuring an RTX 2070 GPU and an Intel Core i7 processor. It comes in a similar design to the VR GO 2.0, but now with support for SPECTRA 2.0 RGB. The backpack uses sweatproof material to make maintenance easier.

All of these products will be available to check out at CES 2020, but ZOTAC’s announcement didn’t include pricing or availability details.

MSI launches the 27″ Optix MAG272QR Gaming Monitor, 1440p & 165Hz

MSI has added a new monitor to the current line of MAG gaming displays, the Optix MAG272QR. This monitor features a VA panel with a WQHD 2560×1440 resolution and a speedy 1 ms response time. This faster response time, along with the higher resolution and a 165 Hz refresh rate, makes this monitor a good choice for gamers for a price of $349.99.

The Optix MAG272QR is a fantastic 27-inch, 1440p monitor for $349.

The features of this monitor are:

165 Hz refresh rate This monitor offers a refresh rate of 165 Hz, which has an increased benefit in fast-moving game genres such as FPS (or first-person shooter), fighters, and sports. These types of games require swift and precise movement, which an ultra-high refresh rate monitor will give you an advantage.

This monitor also offers AMD Freesynce technology, which syncs the monitors refresh rate to your AMD GPU, which eliminates screen tearing and screen stuttering.

WQHD resolution This 27″ monitor has an excellent resolution of 2560 x 1440, and this allows for much finer details while playing the games or watching movies.

Being just 2 ft away from the monitor, you will see a significant increase in picture quality if you are moving up from a 1080p monitor.

Mystic Light The Optix gaming monitor’s RGB lights provide a soft ambient light that can be synced with other MSI products that offer RGB lights.

These lights can be changed and selected through both the MSI app and the software itself.

Gaming OSD Ease of use This software allows the player to control the monitor’s settings using the keyboard and mouse.

Link to profile This software also allows specific settings to be saved as presets and linked to certain games, and this means that the next time the game is loaded up, these settings will be set, creating much less work for the end-user.

Hotkey This software allows for the brightness level, crosshair, and the blackness tuner to be configured in-game by setting a hotkey.

Split window The split window software allows more than one window to be open at any given point.

Remote display The remote display features allow you to not only turn your monitor on and off from your phone but also allows you to change the input from the same app on your phone.

Those are just some of the features of this monitor, and the Optix MAG272QR is a monitor that would be perfect for any gaming setup as long as you can afford the $349.99 on Amazon.

Intel Xe DG1 GPU might not be so discrete a graphics card after all

One of the most important specs for the first Intel Xe discrete graphics card, the DG1, has now been confirmed by development kit listed on the EEC database. The post confirms the rumoured 96 execution units previously speculated as the base configuration for the initial Xe GPU, the same as has been found in the upcoming top Tiger Lake processors.

The Intel Xe graphics cards are launching this year. It’s pretty wild being able to type that safe in the knowledge that it’s probably true. The first of the Intel Xe discrete GPUs will appear on the the DG1 card expected to be released in the summer. And, with the latest iterations of development kits looking closer to final launch spec cards, it definitely seem like Intel is still on track to deliver by the middle of 2020.

Interestingly, the latest listings (via Komachi) don’t just detail the individual DG1 cards going out to developers in the wild, there are also two full software development platform kits too. One with an eight-core CPU and another with a six-core chip inside it. And that could suggest something far more interesting than Xe’s DG1 being just another low-end graphics card…

The solo DG1 developer kit makes sense, enabling folk to create software or driver stacks for their systems that work with Intel’s new discrete GPU. But why would Intel need to ship out software development platforms (SDP) with both an eight-core and a six-core CPU? My suggestion is that it’s because these are unreleased processors designed to work especially well with the new GPU architecture. Maybe those are engineering samples of eight- and six-core Tiger Lake CPUs, and maybe the Xe GPU isn’t always quite as discrete as we once thought.

We’ve previously seen Intel developers talking about having to rewrite driver code to support multiple GPUs, which has lead to speculation that multi-GPU support could be the killer feature for Intel’s Xe graphics card. If you can double the available GPU hardware by seamlessly linking the DG1’s 96 execution units with a Tiger Lake CPU’s own 96 EUs then you’re looking at a far more tantalising gaming prospect.

That could make both the Tiger Lake CPUs and Xe GPUs far more attractive options if they’re both better together. A 192 EU graphics pool could make for a genuinely powerful array for high-end 1080p gaming. It probably needs to be said that this isn’t really a desktop platform – Intel’s Tiger Lake is the successor to the current 10nm Ice Lake mobile range. But pairing these laptop chips with a Xe GPU could make for a genuinely powerful little gaming ultrabook setup.

The Intel DG1 chip is said to be designed with a 25W TDP, and if that little extra juice enables you to double your graphics array you could end up with some tasty little notebooks with serious gaming chops. And if Intel wants to wrest the mid-range gaming laptop market away from either Nvidia or AMD then offering the Xe GPU for a bargain price to bolster design wins seems like a smart play.

A 96 EU discrete DG1 card on the desktop, however, is going to look like pretty weak sauce. Dropped into a standard PC it’s not exactly going to set the world alight, and with the Gen12 Xe GPU architecture not filtering into desktop processor graphics any time soon, any potential multi-GPU shenanigans Intel wants to pull in the laptop space aren’t going to work on the desktop.

So maybe DG1 is a mobile-only part? That would make a whole lot more sense than shipping an add-in board that no-one wants.

But all this potentially positive Xe promise is predicated on Intel actually being able to get multiple graphics chips working together seamlessly. And that’s something neither AMD or Nvidia have been able to do successfully in all their years making GPUs.

Making the dividing line between discrete and CPU graphics invisible is the vital component in taking the burden of support away from game developers… which is where the other two graphics giants have placed it since effectively retiring both SLI and Crossfire. And that approach has basically killed any reason for creating a dual-GPU system today.

If Intel can’t make the 192 EU pool of graphics goodness appear as a single addressable graphics chip, however, then Xe’s multi-GPU feature will end up being DOA. Intel might be able to convince (read: pay) one developer to code support for the feature, but without a larger install base it would struggle to encourage other devs to spend the time and money necessary to factor it into their games.

And then it will just be another one of those Intel features that gets championed around launch, and is never seen again…

HUAWEI MATEBOOK D15 RYZEN EDITION GOES ON SALE FOR 3999 YUAN

After announcing it almost two months back, the Huawei MateBook D15 Ryzen Edition goes finally on sale today in China at the price of 3,999 yuan; around $570 at the current exchange rates.

The MateBook D15 Ryzen Edition packs a large 15.6-inch FHD display with a screen ratio of 87%, an screen aspect ratio of 16: 9 and ultra-thin 5.3mm bezels around the display. Meanwhile its entire body has a thickness of 16.9mm and a weight of about 1.62kg.

Inside the larger screen variant – there’s also a 14-inch model – we find an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor. The chipset is then paired with 8GB of RAM, an ultra-fast 256GB PCIe SSD, a 1TB HDD and a Radeon Vega 8 Graphics graphics card.

Additionally, MateBook D15 Ryzen Edition supports a multi-screen collaboration feature that allows it to interact with mobile phones in real time across platforms. The mobile phone interface can indeed be operated on the computer screen to enjoy the rich application ecosystem of Android. Plus there’s also drag and drop system to transfer files, pictures and whatnot.

It is also worth noting that the MateBook D15 series utilizes a dual hard disk design. There’s a solid-state drive that can be used to install the operating system and daily software; meanwhile the mechanical hard disk should be used to store large files such as pictures and videos. Basically anywhere you do not need ultra-quick loading times.

Finally, the MateBook D15 Ryzen Edition comes pre-installed with genuine a Windows copy and genuine Office Home and Student Edition; at least in China. This bundle is itself worth about 748 yuan, around $107.
