3D is a very hot trend these days, currently enjoying a level of popularity far superior to what happened back in 2009. However, at least some of the solutions that come on the market nowadays make use of technologies launched last year, and that's exactly the case with the new 120 Hz GD235HZ display by Acer, which can also perform as a Full HD 3D display when combined with NVIDIA 3D Vision active-shutter glasses.

The fresh 23.6-inch display boasts a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 1,920x1,080 resolution, 0.2715mm pixel pitch and 80,000:1 (ACM) contrast ratio. The Acer Adaptive Contrast Management (ACM) features advanced technology that allows users to adjust images frame by frame to optimize contrast by enhancing detail and gradation. Additionally, Acer ACM enables the new monitor to use less power and save energy while providing a superior viewing experience.

The Acer GD235HZ features a rapid 2ms response time for viewing high quality moving images and a 300 cd/m2 brightness, further improving the visual performance. Moreover, it comes packed with a fairly standard array of connectivity options, including 1x HDMI (w/HDMI), 1x DVI and 1x VGA.

“As 3D content becomes more widely available in popular games and videos, users desire computing products that can take advantage of these new capabilities,” said Irene Chan, senior product marketing manager for peripherals, Acer America. “We are excited to offer Acer’s first monitor to support 3D technology, enabling consumers to fully immerse themselves in leading-edge 3D games and movies at an affordable price.”

Chan continued, “We see a strong market for 3D technology products that offer the quality and value that Acer is known for providing, as we’ve demonstrated with our Acer notebook with 3D technology and now with this new Acer GD235HZ display.”

The Acer GD235HZ 3D display will be available early this month for an MSRP of $399.99, which is not that much, all things considered. However, one should also take into account the fact that the NVIDIA 3D Vision Kit is available separately, for an MSRP of $199.
