Another 3D monitor that you can use without glasses just launched — and that’s excellent news for VR fans out there
Acer’s latest monitor aims to provide creative professionals and visual artists with a completely glasses-free 3D experience through spatial computing technology.
The SpatialLabs View Pro 27 is a 27-inch 4K monitor presented as a “3D canvas” for digital creatives. The company wants the SpatialLabs View Pro 27 to be one of the best monitors for graphic designso they can design and produce 3D assets and collaborate on projects that rely on three-dimensional design.
According to the manufacturer, the panel has a refresh rate of 160 Hz, a brightness of 400 nits and a Delta E color accuracy of less than two. The View Pro also comes with a detachable hood that is said to increase perceived color accuracy and eliminate distractions when users are working on 3D workloads.
The monitor also includes a number of apps and add-on design software, including SpatialLabs Model Viewer, as well as Acer Steam VR bridge, which allows VR and XR developers to transfer their creations to the 3D screen.
Monitors for a glasses-free 3D experience
Acer’s SpatialLabs Vision Pro 27 is the latest addition to 3D monitors, following closely behind Lenovo’s ThinkVision 27the launch of which was provided by our sister site ITPro.
Acer says users can enjoy 3D viewing in low light, with built-in technology that tracks the user’s eye in dark environments as well as in bright areas. The monitor also features the Acer Immersion Audio system, which the company says uses AI along with beamforming and head tracking to deliver a spatial audio experience.
The device has an ErgoStand design (and is VESA mount compatible), where users can adjust the tilt, swivel, swivel and height to capture the best viewing angle. It also includes a number of ports, including HDMI 2.1, USB-C, DisplayPort 2.0, and two USB-A ports.
No pricing information is yet available for the device, which will be launched in the first quarter of 2024. But for reference, Lenovo’s monitor costs around $3,200 (based on the retail price of €2,999 including VAT), which suggests Acer’s will be priced similarly.
