Smooth 100Hz Gaming Performance
The 100Hz refresh rate provides noticeably smoother motion compared to standard 60Hz monitors, particularly beneficial for fast-paced games and scrolling through documents. Combined with AMD FreeSync technology, this monitor synchronises the display’s refresh rate with your graphics card’s output, eliminating screen tearing and stuttering during gameplay. The 1ms response time (GTG measurement) ensures minimal ghosting, keeping fast-moving images crisp and clear.
Eye Comfort for Extended Use
Long gaming sessions or workdays are easier on your eyes thanks to Acer’s Low Blue Light technology and Flicker-free display. The VA panel delivers deep blacks and vibrant colours with a 3000:1 contrast ratio, while the 250 cd/m² brightness provides good visibility in most lighting conditions. The ZeroFrame design maximises screen real estate by minimising bezels, creating a more immersive viewing experience whether you’re gaming or working on spreadsheets.
Versatile Connectivity Options
Connectivity is straightforward with HDMI 1.4 and VGA ports included, covering most modern devices. The monitor supports VESA mounting (100x100mm) for flexible installation options, whether you want to mount it on a wall or use a monitor arm. The tilt adjustment (-5° to 20°) allows you to find the perfect viewing angle, though it doesn’t offer height adjustment or swivel capabilities.
