Acer to release 3D monitor

Acer have announced that they will be launching a 3D monitor – the Acer GN245HQ – in early February.

The device will have a resolution of 1920 x 1080 on a 24 inch backlit LED screen, it will support NVIDIA’s 3D vision whilst also featuring an infrared emitter compatible with 3D active shutter glasses.

This built in IR emitter frees up a precious USB slot for other use, as well as eliminating the need for yet another peripheral device.

It is this emitter that sets it apart from the other 3D monitors already on the market – such as the Asus G236HVG236HE and the Samsung SyncMaster devices – which are not equipped with this capability.

Other specifications for the GN245HQ monitor include a panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, full HD display and a 10000000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. The monitor also boasts an impressive response time of 2ms.

Dual DVI and HDMI 1.4a inputs will also feature on the classy looking, sharp angled device which comes in a piano-black finish, complete with an X-shaped stand.

As yet there is not confirmed price for the item but it is expected to retail at around £350 on its release next month.
