London Acer monitors enter a new dimension, now available in 3D. And they’re going to change the way we interact with images on our PC or TV and offer us a new and different vision: full immersion, with the depth we experience in real life every day. The third dimension revolutionises 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. And so here is the Acer GD245HQ, along with the Aspire 5738DG notebook and the H5360, the X1261 and the X1130P projectors: a 23.6” 3D LCD display particularly well-suited for gaming applications and viewing films, literally projecting the user into the scene for a sensation of full immersion. The three-dimensional experience is made possible 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 capable of handling it, a PC with a compatible graphics card and special 3D shutter eyeglasses.

Acer will make sure its new GD245HQ has everything. It 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, optimised by Acer Adaptive Contrast Management technology offering tangible ‘visual’ benefits in situations in which images are unbalanced in light and dark hues.

The Acer GD245HQ is perfectly suited to the successful Acer Aspire Predator series: a line of desktops designed specifically to offer an outstanding gaming experience, with a body featuring original aggressive design containing all the latest generation technologies the most expert gamers demand to get going on new challenges of unmatched intensity.
The 3D shutter eyeglasses with two lenses synchronised by the processor are an essential part of stereoscopic nVidia® 3D Vision™ technology.
Every image is rendered twice, once for the right eye and once for the left, so that it is offset in relation to its ‘double’. The GPU sends this information to the Acer GD245HQ, which works at a frequency of 120 Hz, and shows even-numbered frames to the left eye and odd-numbered frames to the right eye. All the 3D glasses do is synchronise with the monitor frame by opening and closing the right or left lens in synchronicity with it (and therefore at a speed of 60 Hz per lens), so as to create the illusion of observing a stereoscopic scene with real depth, making the videogame into a true 3D environment. The glasses work via a special battery-powered infrared transmitter linked to the PC via USB port.

“Just a few simple elements can revolutionise the way people interact with machines, in the visual sphere too,” says Phil Gaut of Acer. “The Acer GD245HQ is only the first step toward a new trend on the market. We’re convinced that the future trend of these screens will be anything but flat, and everything leads us to believe that they will soon change the way users think and act.”

While it was developed primarily to give gamers a better videogame experience, Acer also carefully considered the design of its GD245HQ. A futuristic style with clean, severe lines like those of sophisticated modern fighter planes underlines its strong character. It is carefully designed down to the tiniest detail, from its metallic copper colour to the particular shape of the pedestal recalling the feel of today’s fast-moving, high-performance videogames.
