Acer Predator X39 Reddit Verdict: Worth It or Wait for LG?

I've been rocking the LG for 8 months. Super beautiful monitor. I managed to get mine last fall for like $900 from another deal BBuy was running. Can't go wrong though - it's a top notch monitor!

Man the 3440x1440 39 inchers are such a missed opportunity. The 38s at 1600p were the optimal DPI, it's a bit sad there's no OLEDs that match that.

The blacks 🤌

Upgraded from a 1080p VA panel so im obviously blown away by this thing.

39" with an 800R curve? Sounds tight :) The specs on it look good. I've only had one Acer Predator (not ultrawide) and it was a great monitor.

From what I see it's the same panel as the 39 LG ultragear OLED. And if that's the case it's great, I own the LG 39 and I am thoroughly impressed.

I am 99% sure this is the same LG panel. If you plan to use arm - just brand preference. If you gonna use a stand - LG seems to be much more ergonomic

Too bad it has 800 curvature, that's too aggressive. I hope they have a 1800-2300 version optimized for content creators.

Wow this is really tempting… but I guess I'll wait another month because you guys are telling me to

I love it. I can't comment pictures on this thread but it's just the same as other OLEDs, has great blacks and fast response time. No dead pixels or factory damages / blemishes on my unit. Moving from a 1800r to 800r only took a few hours to get used to. Using DLDSR is great for this monitor, 5K2K is way better than the native resolution. Here's what I hate, manual/user profile don't save your settings. I have to import my settings every time I switch from HDR to my personal.

Yep, still going strong no issues still loving it

Got this monitor no regrets if youre in it for pure gaming just buy it on sale comparing it to the samsung oled 32" this beats it on pure brightness alone.

Perfect man. I dont have to turn my head left or right much to see the full screen when i seat about half a metre away. The 49" is wider than the 39", but shorter in height than the 39".

Got one myself last month. Love it! Hard to beat that price for a 39" oled

People who say the PPI is bad either don't own the monitor or haven't seen one in person. Sure, it's a bit less sharp than a standard display, but honestly, it's barely noticeable. I have the monitor myself, so trust me on that.

Holding up well man. No complaints at all.

Yep its still good. In my country it was about $500 cheaper compared to other brands like LG, so to me worth for more or less the same specs.

I've had the monitor for 3 months now and can only say: MEGA! I use it for iRacing. It's obviously great for any other game that supports widescreen too. Absolute buy recommendation from me!

I just got this one as well. It's my first OLED monitor—the colors definitely feel better than my MSI VA panel. I wish I got it at your price; I paid $700.

34" 3440x1440 versus 39" 3440x1440 — bad ppi at the bigger size. I don't know why people get the 39", you should just go for 49" instead if you want a bigger ultrawide.

Not bad for Php 43K and looks amazing as well. Sigh I can't wait to upgrade to a big screen OLED.

It has pixel cleaning but it's not automatic like the LG. Compared to the LG UWs, it has the same panels afaik. So you're paying more for the features that LG has, like automatic pixel cleaning when you turn off, multiple display source simultaneously, and more ports. But if you don't care about those things, go for the Predator! One factor that made me choose Acer is their extended 1+2 year warranty — everything is covered.

It's a good value monitor with the size

If it's the size you really want, yes. For $100 more, you can have LG 34 inch with 2 years of warranty and burn-in covered but you should be unlikely to need it unless you use your monitor a lot.

All the brands are using the same panel. But the experience isn't the same because of choices of different scaler chips and software, some of the brands using the same panel are absolutely atrocious. The Asus PG39WCDM is notoriously bad with heavy posterization, banding, contrast issues, etc in HDR. I received one for free, and it's still the most disappointed I've ever been in a display.

I got this LG 39" and I LOVE it coming from a decent IPS 27" panel which I had no real complaints about. The OLED colors just pop, blacks are great, I simply love the monitor.

The curve on this monitor is pretty steep, so keep that in mind. You have to sit directly in front of it and several feet away for it to not distort the image with curving. So far I'm thoroughly impressed with the panel. It's the first time I'm actually considering using HDR all the time. Colors are still great with it on.

I regret buying an HDR monitor. Windows HDR is so badly hacked on top. It messes up screenshots and screen recordings, some games will mess up the colors on the desktop when you close them and you have to sleep/wake the PC to fix it, etc.

Yes, it's matte! And coming from a previous-gen matte display, it's a BIG step up! I can't even notice the matte finish anymore. When it comes to text quality, you'll definitely notice a tiny bit of blurriness out of the box. Again, just a BIT! People online are way OA about the lower PPI — it's not ikakamatay levels of bad. OLED's text fringing is noticeable, it adds a bit of blurriness, but it's fixable.

I went LG out of all the five or so that are all the same panel but different manufacturers. Happy with my choice.

Currently $599 on B&H until 12/31. Just picked one up.

It dropped to $499.99 USD over new years

699$ on B&H just purchased it.

I turn mine off when I go to bed for the evening, but otherwise standby.

800R and 1440P at that size are definitely downers. Same issue that the 45" had. Glad the 5k2k exists now, but definitely pricy.

For my money, I'm considering the Predator. 800R is a bit too aggressive for me.

Down to $850.00 at CC. Very tempting. Was looking to replace my aging and scratched Acer pred 34 for my new sim rig. Originally interested in the LG 45" 1440p version, but the Acer at this price is compelling.

I have the LG 34gs95qeb and it has been an amazing monitor. Looks as good as an LG C series TV which is not a quality you get when you buy a Samsung QDOLED.

I'm gaming on that monitor right now and I really like it.

I also got a 39" on open box from Best Buy recently. Had no packaging and only came with the power cable but I turned it on in store and it only had 165hrs. Talked them into lowering it to the 'fair' condition price and got it for $550+tax

I just bought the LG 39 inch one from Costco for $799 for my racing sim build. It's been great so far. The Costco version also has built in speakers, if that matters to you.
