Review: Acer's 6K Touchscreen Display Turns Your Mac Into a Giant iPad, Sort Of
Acer recently came out with a new 6K 31.5-inch display, the ProDesigner PE320QXT. It's a touchscreen display that's able to work with a Mac using touch drivers, and it's aimed at professional creators. It's fun to use, but there are some compromises, and this is not the display to get unless you really want touch integration. This is a big, heavy display. It's thicker than my Apple Studio Display…
Acer has recently released a new 6K 31.5-inch touchscreen display called the ProDesigner PE320QXT. This display is designed for professional creators and offers a large 6016 x 3384 resolution, which allows for crisp text and sharp visuals. However, the display has some compromises and is not the ideal choice unless touch integration is a priority.
The ProDesigner is a heavy and thick display, likely due to the touch layer, and it weighs about 22 pounds. Its design is reminiscent of a monitor from the 2000s, with thick bezels and button-based controls. Despite its size, it offers excellent color quality and clarity when used alongside a MacBook Pro, thanks to the 6K resolution. However, the brightness is limited to 400 nits, which may not be sufficient for bright office environments.
The display uses an IPS panel and connects to a Mac via HDMI or USB-C. It has no native macOS app for controlling brightness, so third-party software is required. The physical controls on the display are not very ergonomic, and adjusting brightness can be cumbersome. The stand allows for a tilted position, making it suitable for drawing and sketching, but it lacks height adjustment and swivels 360 degrees.
The display offers 90W passthrough charging, which is not enough to fully charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro, but it is sufficient to keep it charged.
