Computer monitors have surely evolved a whole lot lately, but it seems that Acer has decided to really take everything to a whole new level by releasing their DX241H monitor, that's actually capable to surf the web even in the absence of a PC attached to it.

Also dubbed the Acer Web Surf Station, this very innovative PC monitor packs both wired and wireless networking options, and a built-in proprietary web-browser, that can be easily accessed via the remote control accompanying the display, that slides open to reveal a full-QWERTY keyboard for users to input web addresses.

Furthermore, the new PC monitor from Acer will also enable users to easily share their multimedia content via the clear.fi technology, that offers fast and easy access to certain pre-selected photo, video or audio sources, in a very fast and seamless manner.

Now, leaving aside its web-surfing capabilities, we'll also have to mention that the Acer DX241H also offers some pretty impressive display-related capabilities, given the fact that the 24-inch display solution delivers Full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels) in a 16:9 aspect ratio.

The contrast ratio isn't too shabby, either, since we're talking about around 80,000:1, and the same goes for the response time, set at just around 2ms, which makes this thing quite well-suited for gaming purposes.

Similar to most of the other monitors from Acer available on the market, the DX241H comes filled to the teeth with all sorts of connectivity interfaces, whether we're talking about VGA, HDMI or USB, while the built-in memory card reader will also make it a lot easier for users to view the photos they've just taken, without requiring the presence of a computer.

Given the advanced features it's capable of providing, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the DX241H PC monitor from Acer is slightly more expensive that the other 24-inch monitors available on the market, being available for pre-order as we speak for around 300 Euro.
