Acer reveals its first 540Hz gaming monitor

The Acer Nitro XV242F will be the company's very first 500+ Hz monitor, offering a maximum refresh rate of 540Hz for incredibly smooth gameplay. The monitor shares many of the same specs as the Asus ROG Swift Pro PG248QP, which was announced earlier this summer. 

The Acer Nitro XV242F has been listed on TaoBao (via TFTCentral) by a third-party dealer. The monitor features a 24.1″ TN panel with an FHD resolution, a 540Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms GTG response time (0.1ms minimum), according to the description.

Like the Asus ROG Swift Pro PG248QP, it uses an AU Optronics display panel with 400 nits of brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 99% sRGB and 90% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage, and a 10-bit colour depth. The Acer model, unlike the Asus model, does not employ an NVIDIA G-Sync processor and is described as an Nvidia G-Sync Compatible monitor.

The Acer Nitro XV242F has an ergonomic stand with up to 115mm of height adjustment, as well as a bi-directional pivot, swivel, and tilt. There are two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 input, and a headphone jack to connect other devices. A pair of 2W speakers are also included. The monitor's listing points to a release on November 10th, 2023. Moreover, it shows the monitor is currently priced at CNY 4999 (about £550).
