14 DAY TRIAL // Acer has a new monitor listed, for the price of 299 Euro, $394 according to exchange rates.
Envisioned for designers, researchers and office workers, it has a considerable screen size (27 inches in diagonal), but the rest of the spec sheet is pretty generic, minus the contrast ratio at least.
To elaborate, the dynamic contrast ratio (DCR, mostly relevant in bright/dim scenes and the transition between them) is 100,000,000:1.
That said, the TN panel has a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and viewing angles of 170/160 degrees horizontal/vertical.
Also, the response time is of 5ms and the maximum brightness is of 300 cd/m2, which is more or less decent.
Finally, the Acer V273HL monitor boasts D-Sub, DVI and HDMI inputs. Look up your local retailer to see if it is available for order yet.
