Acer XG270HU Brings World’s First Edge-To-Edge Frameless Display

Acer is showing off some great new monitors at the Consumer Electronics Show 2015. The 27-inch XB270HU gaming monitor happens to be the first with NVIDIA’s G-SYNC technology. It has got another up its sleeve which boasts another world first. Acer XG270HU is the world’s first gaming monitor with an edge-to-edge frameless 27-inch display with 2,560×1,440 pixel resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.

The fact that it is an edge-to-edge frameless display means that the viewing area is maximized and this provides a seamless viewing experience particularly for multi-monitor setups. Smooth rendering of actions and dramatic transitions is provided courtesy of a 1ms response time without any ghosting or smearing effects.

XG270HU has HDMI 2.0, DVI and DisplayPort 1.2 in a body that’s made out of post-consumer recycled ABS plastic with a bold orange strip running along the bottom horizontal frame, which also outlines the base stand.

Acer EyeProtect is also built into this monitor to reduce eye strain and “potential long-term damage to eye health” by heavy users like programmers and gamers. This brings the flicker-less technology which zaps screen flicker with a staple supply of power. The ComfyView technology reduces reflection from light sources on the non-glare panel.

The XG270HU is going to be available globally, Acer is going to commence shipping from March this year.
