Acer unveiled its largest and most advanced glasses-free stereoscopic 3D display to date, the Acer SpatialLabs View Pro 27. Crafted as a state-of-the-art 3D canvas for creators and developers, the display elevates the way ideas and audiovisual elements take shape without needing specialized glasses or accessories. The device is powered by SpatialLabs’s proven stereoscopic 3D solution and is complimented by the new Acer Immerse Audio system, along with a suite of advanced developer tools to bring out creations in their truest 3D forms. Users can also fully maximize its vast 27-inch 4K panel for magnified, lifelike visuals, while its ergonomic design and detachable hood provide comfortable viewing even under extremely low-light conditions.

The Acer SpatialLabs View Pro 27 harmoniously combines cutting-edge 3D technology and stereo real-time rendering capabilities in an expanded landscape to support creators in bringing 3D experiences to life. The optimized 3D display uses an eye-tracking module to follow the position and movement of users in real time even in dim environments. Crystal-clear details and image depth are projected as envisioned thanks to its 27-inch 4K UHD display with 2D and 3D modes, allowing users to switch between 2D and 3D stereoscopic views, along with the panel’s 160 Hz refresh rate, 400 nits brightness, Delta E< 2 colour accuracy. A detachable hood on the monitor enhances perceived colour accuracy and lessens distractions, helping users stay focused and maintain image quality when viewing their designs on the screen.

Further upscaling Acer’s pioneer 3D developments, the Acer SpatialLabs View Pro 27 introduces the new Acer Immerse Audio system for an enveloping virtual headphone experience unlike any other. The AI-powered sound innovation uses beamforming directional acoustic signal transmissions and head-tracking mechanisms to produce spatial audio projected from two upward-facing 2.5-watt speakers. Whether it is presenting lively displays and content with spatial audio within a museum or showroom environment, a spherical zone of fine-tuned sounds combined with SpatialLabs’ visual technology instantly craft a completely immersive 3D experience that resonates with every detail, movement, and emotion.

The Acer SpatialLabs View Pro 27 has more to it than meets the eye. Aside from presenting impeccable 3D displays, the SpatialLabs Experience Center Pro comes with the devices, providing designers with ready-to-use applications such as SpatialLabs Model Viewer, and add-ons for design software that assist in accelerating workflows and producing quality 3D content. Compatibility with renowned rendering engines like Unreal and Unity lets developers across a wide range of industries and expertise easily craft and present designs on SpatialLabs Pro devices. The Acer Steam VR bridge benefits VR and XR developers by transforming their creations into high-resolution, glasses-free 3D visuals. Combined with Acer’s OpenXR-compliant runtime, the displays seamlessly deliver stereoscopic images on compatible applications.

The display’s flexible design frame adds to the device’s versatility as it is tailored to fit in any workplace or setup. Sporting an ErgoStand design with VESA mount compatibility, the display’s tilt, swivel, pivot, and height can be adjusted to find the best viewing angle for any function and application. A string of vital connectivity ports such as HDMI 2.1, USB Type-C, DP 2.0 and dual USB Type-A are also available with the device.

The Acer SpatialLabs View Pro 27 (ASV27-2P) will be available in Q1 in 2024.

Samsung Gulf Electronics has announced the launch of the newest addition to its Odyssey monitor series, the Odyssey Neo G9 57″, extending its monitor performance leadership in the region. As a part of the launch offer, customers purchasing the new monitor from samsung.com can avail 15x Samsung Rewards.

The Odyssey Neo G9 monitor, bestowed with the Best of Innovation Award at CES 2023, redefines the future of gaming monitors. It is designed to deliver groundbreaking visual experiences for gamers looking to enhance performance and sharpen their competitive edge. It is also a Dual Ultra-High-Definition (DUHD) screen and features a suite of high-speed connectivity options.

Wesam Abu Saymeh, Head of Display Solutions Group, Samsung Electronics Middle East and North Africa, said: “Samsung designed the Odyssey series to empower even the most demanding gaming audience. Now the power of the Odyssey Neo G9 57″ is available to the UAE gaming community. The launch demonstrates our dedication to the region and the industry’s biggest trends while enhancing the gaming experience of its growing and enthusiastic gaming fans.”

The 1000R curvature in the 57-inches 32:9 screen is as wide as two 32″ UHD monitors, wrapping around users with pin-sharp images and a wide field of view, immersing them in their games like never before. Quantum Matrix Technology powers Samsung’s Quantum Mini LED lighting in the screen, which offers smaller, more discrete dimming zones. The result is a better distinction between light and dark areas of the screen, with sharp contrast and less blooming.

The gaming performance matches the level of visual quality to help gamers meet their full potential. The 240 hertz (Hz) refresh rate and 1ms grey-to-grey (GTG) response time delivers less blur and minimised ghosting, allowing gamers to enjoy a smooth gaming experience. Plus, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro syncs the screen for a stable, lag-free picture.

With such a wide, high-definition screen and a generation-defining new input, gamers can use the Odyssey Neo G9 57″ in place of multiple monitors, keeping their desks clean from clutter while creating a comfortable multitasking single-screen environment.
