The Acer P244W is a 24" LCD computer monitor released in late 2008. This monitor is capable of displaying Full HD (1080p) images due to its 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. The aspect ratio of the P244W is set at 16:9, meaning it's designed primarily for displaying widescreen video content and gaming, but it can still be useful for productivity apps and web browsing. The response time is rated at 2ms, while the refresh rate is rated at 75Hz. This configuration makes this monitor ideal for high-motion gaming, given its lower than average response time. Physically, the display is encased in a glossy black bezel. Video inputs include one VGA port and one DVI port. HDCP is supported over the digital connection for DRM-protected content. For the energy conscious, users will be glad to know the Acer P244W uses approximately 30 watts of power, and less than 1 watt when idle.
