Acer’s new 4K gaming monitor has a seriously cool trick: glasses-free 3D

As well as games, the screens can also give you a 3D viewing experience for media content, thanks to SpatialLabs Go, AI-powered tech that takes, say, a 2D video and gives it a 3D-like appearance. Any full-screen content, even your own photos, can be viewed in this manner.
Acer’s SpatialLabs View Pro monitor is the other product here which will again have a 4K screen, as mentioned, but this model will also sport 100% coverage of the Adobe RGB color gamut (and comes with a VESA mount, in case it’s required for a kiosk display,
