Acer GD245HQ/GD235HZ -- Full HD 3D Vision™-ready 1080P monitor -- first to market

TAIPEI, TAIWAN (January 7, 2010) -- Acer is the world’s first-to-market with the Full HD 3D VisionTM-ready 1080P monitor, GD245HQ/GD235HZ, featuring 1920x1080 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate that is perfect for 3D gaming, videos and other home entertainment uses. The Acer GD245HQ/GD235HZ is already shipping in Europe and will be available in the U.S. and Asia starting Q1, 2010.

Entering a new dimension, Acer’s 1080p 3D monitors aim to change the way users interact with images on their PC with full immersion and depth visual sensation/experience. The third dimension revolutionizes the concept of ‘user interface’, introducing the ‘depth’ factor to all visual surfaces, opening up the way for what Acer sees as a very important new trend.

The 3D experience is enabled by nVidia® 3D Vision™ technology, adding depth to the image displayed on the flat surface of the monitor thanks to a combination of three simple elements: a high performance display unit, a PC with a compatible graphics card and special 3D shutter eyeglasses.

The Acer GD245HQ/GD235HZ is both innovative and complete: a 16:9 wide panel with a resolution of 1920x1080, perfect for 1080p Full HD applications; a 120Hz refresh rate, essential for creating the 3D effect; a response time of just 2ms, the utmost in reactivity for real-time gaming; HDMI connectivity with HDCP support; a dynamic contrast of 80,000:1, optimized by Acer Adaptive Contrast Management technology offering tangible ‘visual’ benefits in situations in which images are unbalanced in light and dark hues.

While it is developed primarily to give gamers a better videogame experience, the GD245HQ/GD235HZ presents a futuristic style with clean and acute lines like those of sophisticated modern fighter planes to underline its strong character. It is also carefully designed down to the tiniest detail with a uniquely shaped pedestal that recalls the feel of today’s fast-moving, high-performance videogames. The multi-faceted base comprises a combo of bright metallic orange and black brushed metal to elicit a gaming atmosphere.

In Q309, Acer ranked No. 3 for LCD monitors in the EMEA, Pan America and Asia Pacific regions, according to data by DisplaySearch DisplaySearch Q309 data.
