Its flat 27-inch and curved 45-inch OLED gaming displays are nearly identical in terms of specs to LG’s UltraGear models for 2023. However, it’s not all apples to apples.The 27-inch X27U is wall-mountable, while Acer still doesn’t seem to know whether its curved 45-inch OLED will be yet.PC and console gamers who want brilliant picture quality and contrast will have two more OLED monitor options to consider in 2023, thanks to Acer.

Both the 27-inch and 45-inch models support VESA wall mounting.
