Tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege ran smoothly and played responsively, and in a game where a few shots can kill you, I appreciated having the extra field of view for spotting bad guys. Wide angles aside, the game looked simply stunning at 3440 x 1440 resolution, from the reflective neon lights that litter each street to each gritty, lifelike character model.įortunately, I found the Predator to be just as dependable for competitive games as it was for cinematic ones. I found myself immersed in Rocksteady's version of Gotham City like never before, enjoying a wide view of the game's beautifully moody skylines as I glided from building to building. I had never been truly sold on the concept of a curved gaming monitor, but that all changed the minute I booted up Batman: Arkham Knight on the Predator. Once you're in the Predator's main menu, you'll be able to adjust finer settings - such as brightness, contrast and color - as well as control the system's external lights. Once you press a button, you'll see large tabs for activating Game Mode, switching profiles, activating overclocking and switching inputs.
Still, the monitor's actual menus are pretty intuitive. I accidentally turned the Predator off more times than I would have liked. The buttons are tiny and fairly close to each other, which sometimes made it hard to figure out how to move left and right or select a submenu. You'll navigate the Predator's menus using six small buttons hidden under the right side of the screen, a process that took some getting used to. I had never been truly sold on curved gaming monitors, but that all changed the minute I booted up Batman: Arkham Knight.
Placing a few USB ports and a headphone jack on the side might have messed with the Predator's sleek design, but I'd prefer the extra convenience. While the Predator's port selection covers all of the essentials, I didn't enjoy having to crane my neck to get around its massive display in order to plug my gadgets in.
