Both the new Nitro and Acer smart monitors include features that enhance user convenience and usability when working or streaming content directly from the devices, including the built-in WebOS platform, screen-mirroring technology, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support.




Nitro "UltraSpeed" Displays
The new Nitro gaming monitors target gamers seeking next-level gameplay, additional features, and immersive experiences. Models are available in two 27-inch and one 24-inch sizes, all with AMD FreeSync Premium compatibility, engineered to ensure smoother frames by minimizing screen stuttering and tearing. These "UltraSpeed" monitors bring their A-game by combining high-resolution panels, fast refresh rates, and blazing response times.

The 24-inch Nitro XV240 F6 is an FHD-resolution monitor with a blazing 600 Hz refresh rate and up to a 0.1 ms G-to-G response time, making it among the fastest gaming displays currently available. It boasts a VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification and supports 95% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut to ensure stunning brightness and color reproduction.

The Nitro XV270 F5 is one of the 27-inch gaming monitors featuring an FHD (1920x1080) IPS panel with a 520 Hz refresh rate, and a response time of 0.5 ms G-to-G that puts players right in the center of the action. The HDR10-certified display offers outstanding colors and frames, with 400 nits peak brightness and a 100,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.

Rounding out the latest gaming displays is the Nitro XV270U F5, with a 27-inch WQHD (2560x1440) IPS display, a 500 Hz refresh rate, and up to 0.5 ms G-to-G response time.

Never have I read so many lies in a single ad.

0.1s G2G? Interesting. As well as 0.5ms G2G. Because it tends to vary across different transitions, and we can be certain these numbers are NOT averages taken. Ergo, plain lies.

100 million : 1 contrast? Even dynamically there is no IPS in existence that gets there even if they have fald. Try 1000:1 static and maybe 1200:1 and we're being real here. Plain lies.

Not even with a ten foot pole, even disregarding the fact these cost about twice what they should.

Wait until end of year when (allegedly) 4K/1080p dual mode monitors will arrive with 4K 144+/1080p 480Hz mode and even better panels as far as I remember. Those are like endgame monitors, these here leave you alone when it comes to HDR/display quality.

 

[Onasi]

We are now claiming 0.1 ms responses from IPS? Marvelous. Frankly, at these refreshes I feel OLED becomes near mandatory.

Uhhhhh… Those are already releasing and several models have been on the market for some time. Those are the 32 inch dual mode 4K 240/1080 480 screens.

Good thing it's not an ad then.

Also, all these claims have been used for years by display makers, so why are you only getting into a huff over it now?

 

[Ware]

With HDR10 and 99% sRGB color gamut support, combined with 250 nits brightness and a 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio

OK?

 

[Vayra86]

God think it's not an ad then.

A whopping 100 million to 1 on IPS? Havent seen that before

Also never seen the static contrast ratio not present on a spec sheet.

so correct. 100 million : 1 contrast ? is that even achievable in space?, remember stars give off light.

lol, why not just say it has a billion to one contrast ratio… lol (confusing a 10bit monitors color, with brightness… 30bits = billion colors/brightness levels lol)

No, it's a press release. Doesn't make it one bit better…

And reading such comments from a Representative of a tech site, makes it all the more disheartening.
Since most reviewers and tech journalists basically just brush all the specs off as a white lie and are fine with it, there is zero pressure to change stuff for years.

As a potential buyer, you have to read/watch through a pile of decent reviews (which you need to compile in the first place),
to even get a shortlist and make anything that resembles an informed decision.

You are aware that a lot of the news we post are just press releases, right?
It's not something that happened last week.

I don't actually know anyone that works at Acer any more, so I can't complain, but trust me, I haven't been brushing it off, I have told plenty of companies off over the years and I have always made sure to provide proper specs when I've written stuff on behalf of tech companies I have either worked full time or freelanced for.

Also, dynamic contrast ratio isn't a new thing, but yes, it's still as bogus as ever.

I am aware of it. Not my first day here. Thou, I'm also not happy about the ever-increasing BS in those press releases. (not yours or TPUs fault and no offense here)
However, I do also realize that just not publishing them would mean bad news for the financials of TPU (Ad revenue through clicks).

Thank you for adding the technical sheets whenever possible!

Well, we obviously write some news posts as well, but a lot of companies only provides the info available in the press release, which makes it somewhat pointless writing these things up. That said, I don't disagree about the BS in a lot of press releases these days and it's getting a bit tiring.

 

[Prima.Vera]

100 million to 1 ?? Where did this come from?!?

Also those specs and promo articles fells like the '90 CRT monitors when SVGA@85Hz was promoted as the most amazing and advanced display technology.
Ah, good times.

 

[ViperXZ]

Uhhhhh… Those are already releasing and several models have been on the market for some time. Those are the 32 inch dual mode 4K 240/1080 480 screens.

“Uhhhh” at the price it is currently it’s honestly barely relevant to me, but tbf it’s bleeding edge in every regard, more or less the perfect monitor so the price is somewhat justified.

That said, I don't disagree about the BS in a lot of press releases these days and it's getting a bit tiring.

honestly I dislike press releases, and it’s about the only thing I dislike here at TPU, I would hope TPU would stop doing press releases and type it up themselves / condense it, filter it maybe, remove the AD nonsense / lies.

No I generally try not to, but you just forced me to again. The wonderful shithole that is marketing eh

 

[Onasi]

@ViperXZ
Not likely it’s going to get significantly cheaper this year or the next. As long as there are only two panel suppliers and they are content to keep prices high-ish (from my understanding) I think the 4K OLED high-refresh will be stuck around the premium price point.

 

[chstamos]

I wish more monitors out there integrated some basic kvm functionality. It can't be that expensive, especially when many monitors are already halfway there with usb-c and a usb hub...

Press releases are basically (unpaid) ads. Nothing wrong with that, especially since they're marked clearly, but it's an ad in the sense that the manufacturer presents their product however they want, like in an ad, and the publication publishes it as such, like an ad.

The specs are generally not a flat out lie but a very creative interpretation of the truth, with very specific but completely unrealistic scenarios in mind, with a lot of caveats and omissions, that will still leave room for some sort of plausible deniability when an actual review turns out they were exaggerated. The specs in this press release appear to be this kind.

 

[RJARRRPCGP]

Looks like the price is too close to that of OLED!

Also, there's an expensive 4K 60 Hz monitor. Possibly not much different than the Samsung U28R55.

Ah, good times.

Well, I guess they use some local processing to try and get black levels below what the hardware can actually achieve, "blacker than black. If in some tiny patch you can get say a white patch at 10000nits and can get a black patch with 0.0001nits that 100000000:1. It's all post-processing BS that degrades thew overall image.

The main thing that sucks is it's advertised as the contrast ratio up-front, not the actual physical contrast ratio the monitor can actually achieve, which is buried or omitted.
