Acer Announces Two New Gaming Monitors, Touts Their ‘World First Designs’

[[Coi] Mr.CLuBBeR]

One is the world’s maiden G-Sync enabled IPS monitor and the other the first with an edge-to-edge frameless display

Acer has officially announced the 27-inch XB270HU gaming monitor that we told you about in November. Specs-wise, it’s not exactly what we had expected it to be, though. What we thought would be another TN (twisted nematic) panel display with G-Sync has, to our pleasant surprise, turned out to be the world’s first G-SYNC enabled gaming monitor with an IPS display. But it is not the only upcoming Acer gaming monitor to pack a world-first design choice.
A 27-incher with with WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution and 144Hz refresh rate like the XB270HU (pictured left), the XG270HU (right) is another sui generis monitor announced by the company. The XG270HU, which has a fast 1ms response time, is unique for its edge-to-edge frameless display — a world first, according to the company. Built from recycled ABS plastic, it features HDMI 2.0, DVI, and DisplayPort 1.2.
Both models will be available around the world in March 2015, the company said in its announcement, without disclosing their prices.
