14 DAY TRIAL // The recent movement on Acer's part has mostly been focused on the PC market, with ultrabooks getting a special mention, but the company has not forgotten about its other business outlets, like monitors.
The display industry has reached the point where saying it is varied would be a massive understatement.
Of course, though this means that there are screens for mostly everything, it also implies that some sectors invariably stand out.
The 3D display segment is one of the display market's branches that has garnered a higher level of attention over the past year than the others.
As it happens, Acer has a stake in this field, and it looks like the latest invention of the sort to leave its labs has shown itself.
In fact, the item has already been unleashed upon prospective customers living in Europe, according to this particular report at least.
Measuring 23 inches in diagonal, the GR235H, as the monitor is called, features a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (widescreen).
So far, there is nothing that actually makes the device stand out much, since Full HD is something of a standard nowadays.
What Acer does have to brag about is the fact that it was able to give the 3D panel a dynamic contrast ratio of 100,000,000:1.
Furthermore, the Adaptive Contrast Management function is present (automatically controls the contrast ratio), as is a pair of HDMI ports.
As for actually enabling the 3D effect, the company chose FPR (Film-type Patterned Retarder) technology, reliant on 3D polarizing glasses.
Other specifications include LED backlighting, a response time of 2ms and a black bezel, plus a stand that is more or less shaped like an X.
With a warranty of two years, the Acer GR235H boasts a recommended price tag of 222 Euro and should already be shipping.
UPDATE: Fixed the price (erroneously said 22 instead of 222 Euro).
