It likely won’t win over anyone who isn’t too keen on 3D firstly, but those searching for some additional quasi-3D content beyond the typical fare now have a brand new way to consider within the sort of Acer’s 27-inch HR274H monitor. It not just incorporates a set of passive, polarized 3D glasses, but what Acer describes as its own “chip-based solution” that promises to transform all 2D content to 3D in real time (it’s switched off and on at the monitor itself). Unfortunately, there isn’t any word yet as to how well the effect works, and the monitor’s specs are otherwise decidedly ordinary for the rather high $599 ticket — you’ll just get a TN panel with a typical 1920 x 1080 resolution. Additional details are available within the press release after the break.
New Lightweight Flicker-Free Polarized Glasses Make Viewing Vibrant 3D Imagery Easier and cozy Than Ever
SAN JOSE, CA, Nov 29, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — Acer America Corp., the number 1 provider of 3D displays worldwide(1), today introduced the Acer HR274H, a 27-inch 3D monitor featuring new advances in 3D technology. Featuring Acer’s innovative chip-based solution, the recent monitor can convert any 2D content to 3D, allowing anyone to observe their favorite movies, videos, photos and games in 3D.
With crystal clear 1920 x 1080 resolution, it’s the ideal monitor for advanced 1080p full HD gaming on a computer, Blu-ray Disc(TM) console gaming, widescreen movie playback and multimedia and productivity applications.
“The Acer HR274H delivers the best level of realism available for fans of 3D games, TV programming, movies and photos,” said Chris White, senior director of product marketing, Acer America. “Every detail is so clear, bright and rich in color, immersing yourself to your favorite game or movie hasn’t ever been so utterly exhilarating.”
Through a single HDMI cable connection, the HR274H monitor easily connects to any 3D-enabled PC, Blu-ray(TM) player, game console, cable set top box or camera. 3D enthusiasts can then enjoy a broad collection of high-quality 3D content, including greater than 550 full-HD 1080p 3D games, greater than 100 Blu-ray 3D movies and thousands of 3D videos and photos from YouTube and 3DVisionLive.com.
3D for everybody Acer’s innovate chip based solution easily converts any 2D content to 3D in real time. There isn’t any extra software required; the feature only must be enabled via the on-screen-display. This permits regular movies and standard photos and videos to be enjoyed in a wholly new way. Besides, it really works with any graphics card, so popular PC games can now be viewed in eye-popping 3D.
Lightweight Polarized Glasses Reduce Eye Strain Acer incorporates a set of polarized glasses that deliver vibrant 3D imagery without straining the eyes. Further, the glasses don’t require batteries and are product of composite materials for a light-weight comfortable fit, which makes viewing 3D content more straightforward and comfy than ever before.
Film-patterned retarder (FPR) technology inside the Acer display and glasses enable a flicker-free 3D viewing experience. This reduces eye strain, fatigue, and headaches by separating left/right images so just one image reaches the left or right lens at a time. It also eliminates ghosting, for the reason that display and glasses needn’t synchronize. Slightly larger than first generation 3D glasses, they offer a much wider viewing area and increased external light blocking.
High qualiy moving images and a crystal clear viewing experience is supplied through 2ms response times and a powerful 100 million:1 contrast ratio.
Eco-Friendly The Acer HR274H monitor uses LED backlight technology, minimizing environmental impact while offering superior performance and sturdiness. White LEDs don’t contain the toxic substance mercury, making them safer for our surroundings. Additionally they consume less power and are harder than CCFL lamps, leading to big savings. Additionally it is RoHS compliant, ENERGY STAR(R) certified and is packaged in recyclable materials.
Pricing and Availability The 27-inch Acer HR274H 3D LCD is obtainable for U.S. customers at leading retailers with an MSRP of $599. It features a three-year parts and labor limited warranty(2).
