Because size totally matters, the Predator CG552K is the company’s marquee superstar at this year’s event featuring almost 1.5 metres of pixels to upgrade your gaming HQ in compliance with the cyberpunk future.
The monitor supports up to 4K rez at 120 Hz with a 0.5 ms response time, and includes a built-in proximity sensor to automatically power up or shut down when it detects a user entering or leaving its space. Three HDMI 2.0 ports, two DisplayPort v1.4 ports, a USB Type-C port, and two USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports boost its expansion opportunities into the ultimate dystopian surveillance operations centre. Or, you know, whatever.
The Predator CG552K provides the ultimate viewing experience with a giant 55-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) OLED panel with millions of individual pixels to deliver spectacular picture quality with higher contrast. The VESA Certified DisplayHDR™ 400 panel supporting up to 400 nits brightness makes images pop, while Delta E <1 colour accuracy and 98.5% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut provide lifelike colour. An excellent choice for console gamers, it supports a variable refresh rate (VRR) via HDMI for smooth gaming on supporting devices. The Predator CG552K is also Adaptive Sync compatible, providing smooth gameplay and helps gamers stay focused. It also lets them make every second count with up to an incredibly fast 0.5 ms (G to G) response time via overdrive and a 120 Hz refresh rate.
It’s expected to launch this holiday season, and although a local price aren’t confirmed, its EU price is €2,699 – that’s approximately R43,000, but with import costs and other things, that’s probably going to go up significantly. Ask Santa, maybe.
