Acer HS244HQ 3D Monitor with HDMI 3D

2010-11-18 - Manno

Particularly well suited for gaming and enjoying movies, 3D displays are evolving rapidly and are now entering the era of HDMI 3D, that will bring true 3D gaming and 3D home theatre to the home.

Acer’s new HS244HQ 3D monitor is the first on the market to deliver Full HD 3D imagery via HDMI 3D connectivity for enhanced stereoscopic entertainment and learning. Blu-ray movies, digital TV, games, learning and even 3D photography: the Acer HS244HQ brings you an entire world of 3D experiences, setting the standard for enhanced 3D multimedia, literally projecting the user into the scene for a sensation of full immersion.

Thanks to HDMI 3D connectivity, the HS244HQ display breaks free from the PC and lets you enjoy 3D TV broadcasting via a set-top box, the best in 3D movies via Blu-ray Disc player, stunning digital pictures from a 3D camera, and immersive 3D games using a HDMI 3D game console or a PC with 3D HDMI capability. This monitor is also ready to let you appreciate new learning materials that will literally transport you in the middle of an archaeological site, around the universe or inside the human body.

What’s more, Acer’s active shutter 3D technology presents brighter, more comfortable 3D visuals and considerable power savings compared to other solutions. With currently available 3D shutter technology, the monitor brightness dramatically drops to 16% of normal when in 3D mode. This can cause discomfort or dizziness, especially when watching 3D images for extended periods of time. Acer’s solution ensures three times the brightness, thus alleviating the issue. Plus, Acer’s unique and patented backlight modulation saves 50% more power than other 3D displays without this technology.

The new Acer 3D monitor comes with Acer 3D glasses, featuring advanced active 3D shutter technology, and built-in IR emitter to offer greater convenience. An integrated IR emitter means you can connect the monitor to a set-top box or Blu-ray Disc™ player via HDMI and enjoy 3D broadcasting or the latest 3D movies.

Along with enhanced 3D technology, the HS244HQ packs high-end monitor features, to ensure the best viewing experience: an exceptional 12,000,000:1 contrast ratio for stunning picture quality, Full HD resolution (1920x1080) perfect for 1080p Full HD applications; a 16:9 aspect ratio, ideal to watch every bit of a movie with no black stripes and the same splendour of a theatre screen; a 120Hz refresh rate, essential for creating the 3D effect and a response time of just 2ms, the utmost in reactivity for real-time gaming. Plus, the panel is 60 cm (23.6”) LED backlit and supports Full HD resolution with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, far exceeding the mandatory requirements for Full HD 3D movies, games and TV.

Acer 3D glasses feature advanced active shutter 3D technology and a built-in IR emitter in monitor for great convenience. Ideal for home entertainment, multiple pairs can be used at once for group enjoyment

And appaarently no Dual-DVI connector, so you can't play games at 60Hz and the native resolution....

[DmitryKo]

I'd think they do have Dual-DVI for 120 Hz gaming, but let's wait for more information, CES 2011 will definitely bring more news.

Apparently not, just 2 DVI 1.4a ports, there are more details over on the 3D vision blog.

[DmitryKo]

The blog might say whatever they want, but there is nothing in the slides or the PR that suggests HDMI only.

[cybereality]

In the absence of any other contradicting reports, I am going to take Bloody on his word. It appears this model is HDMI only, which IMO is a total fail. Who wants to replace their big-screen HDTV with a 23" PC monitor? Any PC gamers will obviously want the full 1080P 3D or 120Hz 2D. Without DL-DVI this monitor is DOA.

I do not think they are targeting hardcore PC gamers. There are a lot of "hardcore gamers" would would fall for a small TV they can plug right into their 360 or PS3 with little to no hassle.
