Acer intros a trio of new gaming monitors as CES 2021, highlighted by a new Nitro with HDMI 2.1. But HDMI 2.1 still hasn’t made significant inroads in desktop monitors; there are other technologies like AMD FreeSync that can handle variable and adaptive refresh rates on the PC, so it hasn’t been a top priority. Now that monitors are becoming almost as prevalent as TVs at home, however, it’s more likely than ever you’ll have a console set up near it: It’s what I’ve got, which may finally be the impetus to broaden its use, at least in higher-end models. Acer’s put it in only one of its 2021 displays so far, the 28-inch, $900 Nitro XV282K KV.
