Acer says it's new Predator-themed 24-inch G24 LCD display offers the world's highest contrast ratio: 50,000:1.
Acer has officially announced its new G24 LCD display, which the company claims has the highest contrast ratio to be found in any LCD monitor on the planet: 50,000:1. The display is designed to complement the orange-and-black motif of its Aspire Predator gaming PC rigs, along with technologies designed to reduce ambient light reflection and backlight diffusion.
The G24 offers a 1,920 by 1,200-pixel native resolution, HDMI connectivity for hooking up to PCs, set-top boxes, and game consoles, along with Acer's OD overdrive technology to improve grey-to-grey transition times. Acer claims the monitor sports a 2 ms response time, along with 400 nits of brightness. The G24 also offers complete access to display settings from a single button, smart display rotation software (for Windows), and eColor Management for easy adjusting of color output values.
Unfortunately, Acer hasn't announced a price or street date for the G24; we can't imagine it's going to be cheap.
