Computex 2024: ACER - Predator Z57, GPUs, monitors, laptops and more

Leo and the KitGuru gang are over at Computex 2024 in Taipei. Today they spent a few hours at the massive ACER booth. It was very noisy, and we had to apply some voice isolation filtering to remove background noise. If you are listening on high end audio equipment you may hear this, so apologies in advance if that is the case. Both ACER and Thermaltake locations were massively busy and the noise levels were off the charts.

Please report spam / bots as you see it, we are being hit quite hard lately and are removing it as we see it. Let us know what you think of that ultra mega insane wide ACER screen - The Z57 looks to be the ideal panel for a flight sim or racing gamer......

[@hothardwareforthewin-he4fz]

Thanks for removing the spam and bot comments

[@Everychillitsjustlife-cz8zz]

Spam and bots galore everywhere on KZbin atm

[@Praireboy-hg8ip]

Cracking coverage. Well done on the voice fixing too. I heard that event was drowned out with music as well. Remarkable editing

[@lucifersheadscarf6988]

Wow amazing job on the voice noise isolation !! I saw other footage of this stand and and I couldn’t even hear the presenter

[@lovingthehardwarethisyea-py1xp]

I’d love to have heard the before

[@rufusmctavish1164]

ohhh those monitors look divine. Sad I cant afford an OLED just yet.

[@Praireboy-hg8ip]

Very few people can

[@harleylover9446]

this is ACER's problem continually - the disconnect between the wonderful engineers and designers and the marketing team who cant tell the difference between Horizon Dawn at ultra settings and something like COD. 🧐

[@iamahappybunny7640]

It’s too many marketing people involved and not a group of gamers who know how to set these things up for the show. The bigger the company the bigger the disconnect.

[@hothardwareforthewin-he4fz]

I just don’t think the show people know what they are doing so they just get a triple aaa game

[@jamesjessenden7838]

That 480hz screen looks interesting. Smooth panning shots would look so fluid at that refresh rate.

[@thetechdevil-jn1vo]

Hard to get that kind of frame rate with anything but causal games

[@hairsprungdutchtechnique9626]

good to see some acer coverage not many covered their booth. bet it was loud

[@KitGuruTech]

Mega loud

[@Linuxdistro15-ih8ox]

They like to play a lot of Music which is good for people but not so good for press

[@philipjfry628]

OMG I want one of those DUHD monitors! Sony need to get their act together and start supporting these types of resolutions on the PS5. Gran turismo on that would be amazing.

[@KitGuruTech]

Dont think that will ever happen on consoles im afraid - designed for tv formats !

[@inlovewithmycar7085]

I love their monitors, the rest I can give or take. good coverage dominic, thanks !

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks for watching!

[@UnitedAlgorit-el4hy]

That Z57 is my dream product. iracing on that would be just out of this world

[@theonlyredspecial]

Great coverage ❤

[@4thofjuly-fk4oq]

well done on this coverage, sound quality is good

[@KitGuruTech]

thanks appreciate the comment !

[@sortingoutthebills-dy6td]

Imagine having a high refresh monitor on show and running a very intense AAA game like Horizon Dawn at 40fps. face palm.

[@lucifersheadscarf6988]

Strange choice of game for a high refresh monitor

[@bobsmithson8592]

Those monitors look spectacular. 😢

[@lovingthehardwarethisyea-py1xp]

i love those screens, that Z57 has been on my wishlist for a while.

[@iamahappybunny7640]

Yeah it’s stunning. But I don’t have the desk for it

[@rossdev]

Great stuff guys, really good coverage! As a casual sim racer, I'm liking the Z57, but my existing monitor (49" Odyssey G9) is finding the limits of my desk and my neck from craning side to side 🤨

[@Maxverstappenracing-dz3pt]

49 inch is massive. 57 inch. I’ve no idea what kind of desk could take that comfortably with speakers beside it 😂

[@rossdev]

@@Maxverstappenracing-dz3pt Yes it's a big 'un, the 57 is a beast altogether, would be fantastic for sim racing though! I've an Ikea desk and it would just about house the 57 but no room for anything else then 😂

[@KitGuruTech]

It’s a good point. We often see people in the movie theatres at the front and the heads are moving side to side constantly. A big tv is different as you aren’t sitting so close. I guess for flight sims and racing a lot of what happens at each side of the screen is more peripheral boundary movement and you wouldn’t need to turn your head all the time. I think 😀

[@rossdev]

@@KitGuruTech Yes that's very true, triple screens are very common in sim racing where the side screens are as you say for peripheral vision. I forgot about the native resolution of the Z57 (7680x2160), for me that would be GPU upgrade time too!

[@geofftatesmate7748]

Yeah likely needs a 4090. Even then that’s a tall order at max settings in aaa games.

[@boltsandbraces6261]

Z57 looks amazing, bigger than my tv in the living room!

[@KitGuruTech]

It’s massive 🤐

[@QuentinStephens]

Ordinarily I'd say "More!" but it's over now. Thank you for your hard work and excellent coverage.

[@KitGuruTech]

Much appreciated!

[@lucifersheadscarf6988]

Sounds like you had enough the way you worded that. Thanks but no more ! 😅

[@Linusfikfaps-ez2qg]

Good noise editing was really good

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks!

[@kaylee.snyder]

You guys have the best content!

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks !

[@gogopowerrangers6596]

those monitors are very impressive. 😮

[@Darknightsandwetdays-lb9ko]

Z57 is just mind blowing ❣

[@Iloveyoutube-oh4ug]

Check out the price 😂

[@MikhailBukhta]

I like the tie ins with people like Steve Burke

[@Maxverstappenracing-dz3pt]

Great job Dominic ! Your monitor knowledge is good

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks!

[@geofftatesmate7748]

I like Dominic’s panel reviews. Always well detailed

[@Linuxdistro15-ih8ox]

That oled looks nice. Can’t wrap my head about the z57 size however. That’s just fing insane

[@KitGuruTech]

It’s pretty large 😎

[@dreschaffhausen5693]

Those auto 3d monitors are very cool when are we seeing them come to review?

[@4thofjuly-fk4oq]

Thnk they are already available but expensive

[@ivanterelya4135]

So many people at these events, its scary

[@boltsandbraces6261]

Z56 is next level keep coming back to this but I just checked and it’s a few grand and not available yet.

[@KitGuruTech]

Availability is said to be soon in various parts of the world.

[@Linuxdistro15-ih8ox]

I think you meant z57

[@Maxverstappenracing-dz3pt]

Z57 is my dream monitor. Bit too big but I’d make it fit 😂

[@KitGuruTech]

A sledgehammer comes in handy

[@thetechdevil-jn1vo]

Love that massive monitor 👀

[@KitGuruTech]

Yes, we think everyone does !

[@justindavis7600]

That z57 looks incredible but you would need to factor in a 4090 and have possibly one of those 2 grand Corsair desks to support it properly. I’ve been trying to find the physical weight of it everywhere but it’s not listed.

[@iamahappybunny7640]

My g9 neo is so heavy the monitor arm barely supports it. This will be heavier by a significant margin I’m guessing.

[@KitGuruTech]

what monitor arm are you using ?

[@iamahappybunny7640]

Really need to get an oled monitor

[@KitGuruTech]

Yes it’s the way to go. Funds permitting 👌🏻

[@jennie2644]

Was a lot of videos up at these events

[@_3Jlou_DeDywKa_]

Time to start saving

[@Necromancerbob-zp7us]

I need an oled monitor. Still deciding which one. I’d never be able to fit that z model on my desk. Same size as the tv in my living room

[@therealdealman]

Kitguru and Gamersnexus do some great stuff from events

[@stickyfingers9710]

Some great looking monitors. Shame they seem to have no clue what a high refresh game is mind you 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@cryptosaving39]

Waiting for CES coverage now

[@user-uv8qn1br8q]

Z57. For me. Time to sell a kidney.

[@lucifersheadscarf6988]

Amazing how they messed up that game selection

[@golosovIla]

Not long time CES!

[@kiankit]

Acer should make Nvidia gpu too.. love those design.. i would buy it if its Nvidia..

[@Magnisus]

They should redesign that garbage stand for monitors.

[@geofftatesmate7748]

Great screens. Not so sure about the laptops yet. Qualcomm needs to be proven. And i am done with Intel.

[@Itsameamario-ns3se]

Acer. Really need some help with marketing.

[@RainbowSunset-uq2hs]

Acer always have dead pixels for me. Went through 4 of my last lcd before I got one that was one hundred percent right.

[@KitGuruTech]

Did you buy direct ? Did you have any warranty issues or problems ?

[@gogopowerrangers6596]

It’s been a pretty common experience for a lot of acer monitors in recent years Kitguru.

[@pseudologue5965]

Acer, instant skip

[@Maxverstappenracing-dz3pt]

You Missed some cool monitors !

[@pseudologue5965]

@@Maxverstappenracing-dz3pt It's just my prejudice on the brand, I have so many bad experience from their products in the past. Laptops, pre built work PCs, PSUs. I see Acer I just skip it. Hopefully the new monitors are good

[@RainbowSunset-uq2hs]

I get it tbh, but i am a fan of their screens. even though i had a few with dead pixels they replaced in the end

[@azeaze9572]

Acer 👍❤️👏
