[Tech & Gadgets]
 
Oh how computer monitors have evolved over the last 30 years…
 
 Remember these types of PCs and PC monitors from the 80’s? I sure do. My first computer was an old XT which was like so fantastic to me back then.
 Then in the 90’s it was the era of the CRT monitors which usually weighed a ton!
 In the 2000’s LCD monitors started emerging on the scene. They were light and more portable but were pretty expensive in the early years. Screen sizes were small too.
 Fast forward to 2015 where Acer launches their curved computer monitors meant to give hardcore gamers a more immersive experience during gameplay!
 
Acer Malaysia launched two (2) new monitors and the Revo One on 27 July 2015 with a media preview in Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur. The ultra-wide curved monitor Acer XR341CK that was introduced at the Acer Global Press Conference earlier this year has finally made its way to Malaysia.
