Acer Predator Z57 57"

Manufacturer: Acer

The Acer Predator Z57 is a large-format curved gaming monitor built around a 57.1″ Mini-LED panel delivering an expansive ultrawide viewing experience. Sitting in the gaming and ultrawide monitor category, it combines a sizeable physical footprint — 1314.5 mm wide and weighing 18.3 kg — with display characteristics aimed at immersive desktop use.

The panel outputs a resolution of 7680 x 2160 pixels at 139 ppi, paired with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. Brightness reaches 1000 nits typical with a contrast ratio of 100,000,000:1, and the display supports AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive sync. Connectivity includes two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort output, along with a 3.5mm audio jack and stereo speakers. Horizontal and vertical viewing angles each reach 178°, and the monitor includes anti-glare coating alongside support for color calibration.

Pros
  • The 57.1″ curved ultrawide panel provides an exceptionally wide field of view suited to immersive gaming and multitasking across a single screen
  • A typical brightness of 1000 nits combined with a contrast ratio of 100,000,000:1 allows for a wide range between light and dark content
  • The 7680 x 2160 resolution across the panel results in a detailed image with a pixel density of 139 ppi
  • AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive sync helps reduce screen tearing during gameplay
  • Both horizontal and vertical viewing angles reach 178°, maintaining image consistency across a wide range of positions
  • Color calibration is supported, giving users the ability to fine-tune display accuracy to their needs
Cons
  • At 18,300 g, the monitor is extremely heavy, making placement and repositioning physically demanding
  • The stand does not support tilt, swivel, or portrait mode, significantly limiting ergonomic adjustment options
  • VESA mount is not supported, removing the option to use third-party mounting solutions
  • There are no USB ports and no USB Type-C connectivity, limiting peripheral and device connection options
  • The EU energy label of G places it at the lowest efficiency rating, indicating high power consumption
  • Stereo speakers are present but there is no support for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or DTS Surround audio formats
Who is this for?

This monitor is well suited to users who spend extended sessions in immersive gaming environments, where the 57.1″ curved ultrawide panel, 120Hz refresh rate, and AMD FreeSync Premium combine to cover a wide visual field with reduced screen tearing. It also fits users engaged in creative or productivity workflows that benefit from wide horizontal screen space, such as video editing timelines or multi-window desktop setups, given the 7680 x 2160 resolution and support for color calibration. The 1000-nit brightness and 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio further serve those who prioritize strong image depth in a fixed, dedicated workstation setup.

Who is this NOT for?

This monitor is not a practical choice for users who need ergonomic flexibility, as the stand offers no tilt, swivel, or height adjustment, and VESA mounting is unsupported, leaving very limited options for repositioning. Those working in space-constrained environments will also find it difficult to accommodate, given the monitor's 1314.5 mm width and 18,300 g weight. Additionally, users who rely on a variety of peripheral connections will be underserved, as there are no USB ports and no USB Type-C output available on this display.

Final Verdict

The Acer Predator Z57 is a monitor built around a singular purpose: delivering an expansive, high-resolution gaming and workstation experience on a single screen. Its 57.1″ curved Mini-LED panel at 7680 x 2160 resolution, paired with 1000-nit brightness and a 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio, makes a compelling case for users who want visual scale and image depth in a fixed desktop environment. That said, the absence of ergonomic stand adjustments, VESA compatibility, and USB connectivity means it demands a thoughtfully prepared setup to work around its physical and functional constraints. For users whose space and workflow align with what it offers, the Z57 represents a technically substantial ultrawide display; for those needing flexibility or broad connectivity, its limitations will be felt from day one.
