😟🥳Acer Predator XB273U F6: Here Comes True 1,000Hz, With a Catch
The biggest news-breaker of this lot is the Predator XB273U F6. This is a $799 panel with a 27-inch QHD (2,560-by-1,440-pixel) display based on IPS technology (note, not OLED). It has a maximum 500Hz refresh rate at its native QHD resolution, but the big difference here is that the monitor has an alternate refresh rate mode that's geared toward extreme esports and competitive play.

The alternate mode operates the monitor at a peak 1,000Hz refresh rate at 720p. For those not in the know, serious esports competitors sometimes opt for running their games at low resolutions (and, sometimes, low detail settings) to maximize frame rates in twitch-style shooters and similar games in which fast response is everything. Until this point, gaming monitors to date top out at 500Hz or slightly higher with panel-overclocked settings; this 1,000Hz true native refresh rate is the first of its kind we've seen in the flesh (though, of course, CES is still young).
