For connectivity, WiFi 6E with Killer DoubleShot Pro combo is given to it to ensure the online games won’t lose the packets as much.

And it churns nice visuals with Delta E<2 accuracy and up to 98% DCI-P3 wide color gamut besides the 175 max refresh rate and super low response time at 0.3ms.

Acer Predator GD711

Saving the best for last, this isn’t really a monitor but a 4K LED gaming projector – the Predator GD711. Optimized for both console and PC signal output, users can either choose the standard mode via selecting the 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution or go for the blazing 240Hz (PC) / 120Hz (consoles) refresh rate at FHD which is perfect for the people rocking the gamer + movie goers spirit. Featuring 125% Rec.709 color gamut, the color saturation and range is needless to say, brilliant.

The throw size is also pretty neat at a maximum of 300-inch with a recommendation of 2.70m for 100-inch and excellent airflow dissipates heat to keep the internals chilled properly for a rated 30,000-hour lifespan.
