Acer intros new P Series widescreen LCDs

September 12th, 2007 | Category: Displays

While you can be forgiven for mistaking it for another company’s monitor line, that image above is in fact one of Acer’s new P Series displays, which come in 19, 20, 22, and 24-inch varieties. From the looks of it, there’s nothing too remarkable here, with the 19-inch P191Wd boasting a 1440 x 900 resolution and 2,000:1 contrast ratio, and the 20-inch P201Wd and 22-inch P221Wd upping things to the standard 1680 x 1050 resolution and

a slightly better 2,500:1 contrast ratio. On the top of the heap, the 24-inch P241Wd monitor packs a 1920 x 1200, a 3,000:1 contrast ratio, a 2 ms response moment, and a 400 cd/m2 brightness rating (compared to 300 cd/m2 for the three other models). From the sound of it, all four should be making their way to retailers now (if they aren’t there already), with prices ranging from $230 to $500.
