Acer AL2416W is without a doubt a monitor we will keep an eye out for. The monitor will be laucnhed by Acer during the fourth quarter of 2005 and will be a very affordable 24″ model, which usually means that the specifications are a bit on the downside. This doesn’t seem to be the case here though as Acer AL2416W is looking mighty nice on paper. The 24″ widescreen monitor has a resolution at 1920×1200 px and a contrast ratio at 1000:1. Brightnness at 500 nits but the most astonishing is the responce at 6ms. These are som very impressive specifcations but when we heard the price, below $1000, we started to wonder if we were being part of an extremely late April fools joke.
“Currently, Dell offers its 24-inch UltraSharp 2405FPW Flat Panel Monitor (1920×1200, 12ms) for $1,200, while Samsung’s 243T (24”, 1920 x 1200, 300 nits, contrast ratio of 500:1) is available quite some time now for $2,549.00.
Recently, Japanese EIZO announced its FlexScan S2410W series, offering 1920? 1200 resolutions at 24 inches, an 8 ms response time and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. It is available for $1,900 USD.”
Acer AL2416W looks to be much cheaper than Dell’s 24″ monitor whcih is quite an achievement just that. We’ve earlier reported about several amnufacturers who are just about to launch LCD-monitors in the 20″+ segment this year and if this is wat we’re waiting for we are mighty interested to see what the rest has to offer.
