Acer America has released a new S1 line of LED monitors that combine the new LED technology with a 13mm to 15mm profile.

The S1 series are available in three sizes – 23-inch, 21.5-inch, 20-inch – and feature 12,000,000:1 contrast ratio via Adaptive Contrast Management (ACM). All of the monitors boast a 16:9 aspect ratio. The 21.5-inch and 23-inch display models all feature 1920×1080 resolutions.

The company said that its new displays are RoHS and Energy Star 5.0 compliant and come in highly recyclable packaging materials based on ISO 1043/11469 standards. All of the S1 series of displays feature rapid 5ms response times, 250 cd/m2 brightness and 16.7M colours. They feature a VGA port or DVI port with HDCP protection.

The eColor Management on-screen interface allows users to tailor the performance of the display, such as brightness, saturation and contrast. The Empowering Key enables users to switch between viewing scenarios and create their own to compensate for application and environmental constraints.

Irene Chan, senior product marketing manager for peripherals at Acer America, said: "In addition to the eye-catching design and crisp visual quality, the S1 series monitors were designed to be one of the slimmest monitors available today for consumers with a limited amount of desk space. Another key consideration was designing a monitor that delivers low energy consumption and environmental impact."
