Outstanding 2ms (GTG) response time? Check. 24inch widescreen aspect ratio? Check. Capable of HDMI output (x2)? Double Check. The Acer P244W Bii has all these features and more. With an industry that constantly asks for bigger, wider, faster, the range of monitors that are available from Acer in the 24inch and 26inch space continues to impress. The P244W Bii is a solid competitor in the 24inch LCD market and is backed by a trusted brand that continues to produce. With the lack of an industry standard of comparison for the GTG (Grey to Grey) response time measurements (used by the P244W Bii) against the BTB (Black to White and back to Black) measurement, the 2ms (GTG) response time claim is difficult to measure in terms of performance increase over other models. The Acer P244W Bii does offer up a 1920x1080 pixel resolution on a viewing angle of 160 degrees (both vertical and horizontal). The contrast ratio of 20000:1 combined with the 300 nits of brightness provides crisp video and 3d graphics display.
FeaturesYou have just finished watching the latest freely available episode of your favourite TV series via the web on your Acer P244W Bii and you'd like to switch over to your XBOX for some quality gaming time, without moving from your PC monitor? You're in luck. With the provision of two (2) HDMI outputs on the P244W Bii, along with standard VGA analogue, there is no shortage of devices you can hookup for some quality graphics display. Factor in the 2ms (GTG) response time and a 1920x1080 widescreen resolution and you have yourself a serious 24inch multipurpose monitor at your fingertips. PerformanceThere is some real performance available from the Acer P244W Bii, despite the lack of easy comparison in response times with other displays. Industry debate still rages on over the GTG (Grey to Grey) vs BTB (Black to white and back to Black) response time measurement and there is no real decision over which is preferable. On face value, the 2ms (GTG) response time is a great reason to upgrade your existing smaller monitor to the capable performance of the P244W Bii. SummaryThere is real value in seeing live comparisons of monitors you are considering purchasing and there is a case here for requesting a live demo of the Acer P244W Bii before you part with your money. There is no question of its ability to provide you with crisp graphics and the inclusion of two HDMI outputs is a real draw card. Our suggestion is to take an extra five minutes and request some side-by-side demonstrations with another 24inch model before you finalize your purchase. Pros
