Acer's AX3200 is the little Blu-ray PC that could, has a 1080p LCD friend
Acer believes you're seeking a PC with a Blu-ray drive and formidable storage space so you can watch hours and hours of high definition video. That's why it's introducing the AX3200 desktop (suggested retail: $679.99) and the P244W 24-inch 1080p LCD display ($399) -- to fill that consumer electronics-shaped hole that you didn't even know existed within you. The compact desktop sports an AMD Phenom X3 8450 triple-core processor, 4GB of RAM, a 640GB hard drive, and NVIDIA's GeForce 8200 integrated graphics chip. The graphics solution won't rev up the frames in modern computer games -- especially not at the P244W's 1920 x 1080 resolution -- but it'll do fine for watching movies, and there are tons of great Blu-ray releases out there by now, right? Right?
Acer introduces 24-inch P244W 1080p LCD monitor
Acer's really, really proud of its P224W. So proud, in fact, that it's touting the unit as the "world's first 24-inch Full HD / 16:9 ratio LCD monitor." Never mind the fact that Gateway slung out a 24-incher with a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution way back in 2006 -- we'll let it think it's special for awhile, anyway. Onto more specs, you'll find a 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, touch-sensitive on-screen display and a 2-millisecond gray-to-gray response time. Regrettably, the outfit didn't bother handing down a release date or price, but it's not like those tidbits are really critical in the grand scheme of things, right?[Via Computer Monger]
