Acer is bringing a new range of Nitro screens to gamers

At IFA Berlin, Acer were on hand to reveal a large number of products. Some of them were just updates to existing lines and some of them were all new. One area that they put a lot of focus on were their gaming screen lines, specifically the Nitro series.
The four screens below are all new for the Nitro range and offer up a range of specs, so no matter the setup or budget you have, you can find something that works for you. Looking at the features on each and all the other bits and bobs, they all look fantastic, the only thing that is concerning is the name, not one of them has a cool name.
Right, naming concerns aside, let’s dive into each of these new displays. For each of the displays, we are just going to provide the official description of them, as provided by Acer and then their price, availability and top specs below that.
