Acer has released a new 24" Full HD LCD display with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the firm claims this is a world's first.
The widescreen aspect ratio of P244W monitors makes them perfect for gaming and multimedia applications. Magnificent display technologies within include Acer Adaptive Contrast Management (ACM) that dramatically improves the gradation and detail, especially for dimmer and brighter scenes. The P244W supports a superior contrast ratio up to 20,000:1. These adjustments are focused at the input image directly to produce ultra-sharp images, at the same time, power is used more efficiently. A rapid response time up to 2 ms gray-to-gray permits immersive graphics and video display. The key benefit of this overdrive technology is the clear improvement of the gray-to-gray level, which is the most important factor in the moving-picture viewing experience.

The P244W carries a striking, shiny black bezel with a polished black base and gleaming silver arm. Convenient touch-sensitive OSD (onscreen display) further maintains the clean, streamlined look.

Acer strives to take the lead in compliance with the latest technology standards. The P244W is compliant with the most up-to-date Microsoft Vista® operation systems, supports HDMI™1 for projecting HD movies and high-impact gaming. Acer eColor Management enables color adjustments with great simplicity.
