Acer is a reputable global technology company known for its affordable and dependable computer hardware, such as laptops, desktops, monitors, and peripherals. They serve both casual users and professionals, making them a popular choice for those looking for quality technology solutions at accessible prices.
Earlier today, Acer launched its latest
gaming monitor in the Chinese market, the XV242F, now available for purchase on
JD.com. This monitor features a slim bezel design with a 24.1-inch TN panel and
FHD (1920×1080) resolution. Its standout feature is an ultra-high 540Hz refresh
rate when connected through DisplayPort. This high refresh rate, coupled with a
1ms (GtG) response time, makes the XV242F particularly appealing for
professional esports players and enthusiasts demanding rapid and smooth visual
performance.
The monitor’s TN panel is chosen for its
fast response times, essential for displaying high-speed scenes without motion
blur, a critical factor in competitive gaming. However, TN panels have some
limitations, such as less vibrant colors and narrower viewing angles compared
to other panel types like IPS or VA, which might be a consideration for users
needing high color accuracy for tasks like design or video post-production.
In terms of color performance, the XV242F
covers 99% of the sRGB color gamut and has an 8-bit color depth, producing 16.7
million colors. The static contrast ratio is 1000:1, and the monitor achieves a
brightness level of 400 nits. It’s also equipped with two 2W speakers,
providing decent audio for a gaming monitor.
The XV242F supports HDR technology and has
been certified with DisplayHDR™ 400, ensuring a wider dynamic range and finer
picture details, especially beneficial in HDR-enabled games. Additionally, it
features AMD FreeSync Premium technology, which synchronizes the monitor’s
refresh rate with the GPU, reducing screen tearing and stutter for a smoother
gaming experience.
For connectivity, the monitor includes
HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.4 ports, along with an audio-out interface. Its ergonomic
stand design allows height adjustment, horizontal and vertical rotation, and
tilt angle adjustment, catering to various viewing preferences. Earlier this
month, Acer also introduced a new gaming monitor called the Acer Nitro XV275UX.
This monitor offers a 2K resolution and an impressive 240Hz refresh rate.
