Large, Responsive, G-Sync support, 4K support
Expensive, Lacks some features, May be too big for some people, while not big enough for others
The Acer Predator CG7 is a huge gaming monitor that brings certain features we'd expect to see in a gaming monitor to a TV-sized screen. It doesn't quite do enough to convince us to clear a space on our desks or ditch our TVs, but for some people it'll be...

Perfect size for desktop gaming, Excellent contrast, No calibration needed, HDR at 1,000 nits brightness, Great speakers, Good value,
144Hz requires two DisplayPort cables and sacrificing G-Sync Compatibility and HDR support, Expensive
The Acer Predator CG437K has some minor flaws, but its image is super-accurate with the best contrast we've seen short of an OLED screen. Its price/performance quotient makes it a compelling choice among premium gaming monitors...

144Hz refresh at 4K, AMD FreeSync 2 adaptive sync, NVIDIA G-sync Compatible, Brightest, highest contrast monitor we've tested, DisplayHDR 1000 support, Decent colour accuracy – but don't bother calibrating, Presets covering a good range of usage scenarios
Brightness and colour uniformity are mediocre, Not cheap
The Acer Predator CG437K is close to the must-have 4K gaming monitor right now, but partly because there's precious little competition. The ability to hit a 144Hz refresh in 4K is almost unique. We know there are more like this coming, but the CG437K is s...
The Acer Predator CG437K isn’t a terrible machine, but it has too many drawbacks to cost as much as it does. While the device’s impressive 1 ms latency is significantly less than what you’d find in even a high-end TV, the practical benefits may be limited...

Abstract: The Acer Predator CG437K S Gaming Monitor is huge. It's a 43'' monitor that you could probably use as a TV in your living room just as much as you could a desktop. You won't even be able to set it up on your own. If that's not enough it also comes at a ki...
Abstract: Gaming on a much larger screen has always had this almost unnatural appeal. Over the years, many enthusiasts likely have tried to hook up a PC to a much larger display for gaming bliss, whether it was a TV or projector via S-Video, component or DVI, or no...

Large, 4K Screen, Excellent Image Quality at Default, Impressive HDR Performance, FreeSync/G-Sync Compatible, High Brightness and Contrast, Highly Recommended,
4K 144Hz Needs Two DP Connections, 144Hz Operation Locks out HDR and G-Sync, Prone to Blurring
The Acer CG437K is a fantastic 4K 144Hz monitor and is a must buy if you are in the market for a high-end display with all the right features. The VA panel is capable of excellent color quality by default, while HDR performance is impressive, especially f...
