This display has a starting price of $899.99.

On Thursday, Acer America introduced the B326HUL, a 32-inch display with a 2560 x 1440 resolution. This WQHD panel also comes packed with an ergonomic stand and multiple ports for a number of connectivity options. The display will be available sometime this month at Acer resellers and online retailers for a starting price of $899.99.

The specs show that this LED-lit monitor has a 16:9 aspect ratio, a 6 ms response time, and 178 degree viewing angles. The specs also show a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz, a contrast ratio of 100,000,000:1, a brightness of 300 cd/m2, and support for 1.07 billion colors. There are also two 2-watt speakers on the front, and several ports on the back including DisplayPort, DVI-D, two HDMI and USB 3.0.

The company points out that the display includes vents that are integrated into the grooves, a storage tray to pack away your typical office supplies, a magnetic surface on the stand for keeping paper clips within reach, and a smartphone holder. The display is also VESA compliant, allowing it to be mounted on a wall to free up desk space.

As for the display's ErgoStand, it enables a tilt between 25 degrees up and -5 degrees down, a swivel of 60 degrees in both directions, and a height of nearly 6 inches up or down. According to the company, the display is also EPEAT Gold registered, and constructed with mercury-free, recycled material.

    Uhm nice try Acer but for about $300 more you can have a 16:10 2560 x 1600 display like mine. I don't do 16:9 sorry. My next display is a 16:10 4K when they fall under $1500.

    16:9 just sucks. I have 3x30 16:10 monitors and would never go back. Unfortunately, websites are not designed for widescreen and video editing is better with the menu bars visible on top and bottom with video on full screen. Any kind of production work, 16:10 is better and 4:3 is best for web and office documents.

    And Seiki has a 39inch 4K screen for $499. I can't wait until they incorporate HDMI 2.0 then I'll switch to 4K. Assuming they don't jack up the price.

    At this price you are better off gettin a 2560x1600 30 incher. You will spend a couple hundred more but it will be more useable. If they could get this one down to 600 I'd recommend it.

    Yea, I had my two Dell U3011s a few years ago for around $900 each. Man I thought by now I’d be trying not to buy a 30” OLED for as much. I like 2560X1600 with 16:10 so much better for games and work. Movies are better on the 16:9 Kuro. With the Kuro I’m also waiting many years longer than I thought to upgrade.

    Why would I buy this when I can get the Asus ROG Swift for $800?

    The Asus has the same resolution, a better response time, 120/144hz instead of 60hz, 3D Vision Support, light boost equivalent, and G-Sync. All for $100 less.

    What gives?

    5 inches of diagonal? The ROG is a 27 inch monitor. So, yeah, pretty much no comparison to the much larger Acer panel this article refers to. Some people want gaming qualities and others want a large screen.

    That's way more reasonably priced at least and yet still overpriced.

    I still don't know who is going to be willing to spend $899's for a 32-inch display with a 2560 x 1440 resolution aside from rich pricks and a handful of businesses that could really benefit from it. You could buy like what 5-6 1080p 32-inch displays at that price and get a hell of a lot more screen resolution real estate. Monitor makers must think consumers are completely stupid.
