Acer, the third largest vendor in the PC market,(1) today announced the new H235H premium display and a striking new industrial design for its Acer Aspire M5, M3 and X3 Series of consumer desktops. Combining an intuitive layout and industry-leading technology, the stylish display and desktop PCs improve productivity and the overall user experience.

Both the new display and updated desktops showcase a visually appealing look and offer a host of compelling features. A cinematic powerhouse, the Aspire M5800 Series desktop line delivers high-end performance in a trend-setting brushed metal chassis that will make a striking statement in any home or office. The Aspire M3800 Series of desktops tackles digital media and productivity applications in an intuitive design and at an affordable price point. In addition, the sleek Acer Aspire X3810 Series offers mainstream technology in a compact chassis to maximize tight spaces.

"The elegant new H235H display combines advanced technology and features for a supreme cinematic entertainment experience," said Stephanie Eggert, senior manager, retail desktop product planning for Acer America. "Our newest Aspire desktops are a blend of visually appealing aesthetics and convenient functionality that's sure to impress even the most selective buyers. Not only are the systems elegant in form, but they are efficient in function with user-friendly features that maximize time and space."

The new desktops provide up to nine USB ports and multi-in-one card readers for connecting to a host of digital devices.

An HDMI port delivers crisp, high-quality visuals and high-fidelity audio to a home theater or external LCD via a convenient, single cable connection.
