Calling fans of The Finals and any other first-person shooter games – this Acer Predator monitor is a must-have for any player after slick response times and high refresh rates.

Amazon has dropped the price of the Acer Predator XB323U monitor to just $580 (was $800), with 28% off MSRP. The 1440p, 0.5 response time gaming monitor has hit its lowest price since January, a sure sign of things heating up for Black Friday. That means this deal right now is knocking off $220 off the asking price.

If you’re in the market for a new gaming monitor, now looks like one of the best times to get this Acer monitor for a reduced price. Like last year, November looks like it’s one of the best months of the year to secure this monitor for a lower asking price. Our sister site WePC in their hands-on review of the Acer Predator XB323U monitor highlighted its immersive performance and minimal ghosting during fast-paced gameplay. In other words, don’t miss out on this monitor if it ticks your boxes.

You should consider this monitor if you want something to cope with fast-action gameplay that’s also good for productivity tasks. The combination of a 144Hz refresh rate and 1440p delivers a strong all-round performance without putting too much stress on your GPU. You’ll find the 32-inch display size is good for productivity tasks and provides ample screen real estate without straining the eyes.

As for the space it takes up on your desk, the base is a wide Y shape so double check you have enough space on your desk. You’ll be wanting to sit between 2-3 feet away to avoid straining your eyes too, so make sure the monitor fits nicely in your setup.

The actual display is recognised for its colour uniformity, great contrast ratios and brightness levels. With or without G-Sync enabled, the Acer Predator monitor looks great. For a slightly premium price, we can confidently say it’s justified.
