The Acer Predator Z57 is an ultra-large gaming monitor with a resolution of 7680x2160 with 2,304 zones and a resolution of 32:9 DUHD.

The Acer Predator Z57 meets many requirements: 57" 32:9 DUHD with a resolution of 7680x2160, MiniLED backlighting with 2,304 zones, HDR 1000, 98% DCI-P3 color space coverage.

VA panel.

It uses a VA panel with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a curvature of 1000R. The refresh rate is not outstanding, but remember we are talking about dual 4K here. Even with a top-class RTX 4090, it would be difficult to achieve 120 fps on the latest high-load titles at this resolution.

Connectivity options are decent, along with the aforementioned KVM switch, but the lack of DisplayPort 2.1 support is a notable exception. There are twin HDMI 2.1 ports, DP 1.4, and four USB 10GB/s downstream ports (one of which is Type-C), and it supports 90W of power; it also has a 10W speaker.

I would gladly own such a beast of a monitor, but it would require a desk, room, and perhaps a home upgrade to accommodate it. It would be a good choice for a sim racing rig, as well as an all-around general purpose monitor. As someone who uses one of the more common 4K monitors for telecommuting, I still run into limitations when I have several browser tabs open, spreadsheets open, and Slack chats and email clients open at the same time. This would solve that.

Is the Predator Z57 a contender for the best gaming monitors list? However, the Sammy is priced at $2,499, $500 more than the Predator Z57, so Acer's challenger has the advantage in that regard.

It also competes with a nice 49-inch OLED option, although it doesn't have the overwhelming pixel density of the Z57; OLED monitors have inherently attractive properties, but if you're looking for pixel overload spectacle, the Z57 should be worth a look. We'll be getting our hands on one for review in the near future.
