Acer Predator X27 Release Delayed

Earlier this year, Acer unveiled the monstrous Acer Predator X27 monitor. The Predator X27 boasts a 4K, 144Hz, HDR, quantum dot, G-Sync 27-inch display. As such, the monitor stirred up quite a buzz. While the display’s release date wasn’t announced, many expected a 2017 launch. However, Acer revealed that the Predator X27 isn’t coming to market until 2018.

Acer Predator X27 Release

Rather than put the Predator X27 delay in a press release, Acer put it in a tweet. Furthermore, the tweet was in response to a question rather than a standalone declaration. As such, the tweet – written last week – became buried.

The tweet reads:

“The Predator X27 is currently expected to release in 2018 Q1.”
