Hi all,

We have just published a review of *Acer's G24 widescreen gaming

monitor*. If you could post a link on your site that would be very much

appreciated.

*/The G24's glossy surface and orange skin may be fit into the

love-it-or-hate-it category for features but there's no doubting the

reflective screen does bring benefits in terms of the super sharp image

quality and improved colour saturation compared with other matte TN

panels. It's also pretty quick too, making the G24 an easy recommend for

gamers looking for a 24-incher.

It's built to go with the new Acer Preditor PC, but you can find it on

its own and it should certainly liven up any desktop or make you stand

out at a LAN. After all, people mod cases, so why settle for an drab

screen to go with it?

Indeed, if you've been looking for a 24-inch monitor with gaming in

mind, the G24 could well be what you've been waiting for - it lacks the

lagginess of PVA screens and beats the TN competition in terms vibrancy

and vividness.

The key question, therefore, is whether all of the above justifies the

£350 price tag. That's a lot more than many other 24-inch TN screens and

well into the lower end of the PVA market. On balance, we'd prefer to

see the G24 priced sub £300, but you do get something quite unique and

tweaked specifically to the target market for your purchase. There is a

gap in the market for a quality, slightly premium priced gaming monitor

and we can hardly blame Acer for plugging it./
