Last week we told you about the H9500BD, Acer's latest home theater projector capable of converting 2D content to 3D. Today we have the HR274H, a 27-inch 1080p 3D display from Acer that also turns most 2D content into 3D.

The HR274H sports its own internal chip-based solution which does the 2D-to-3D conversion (this feature can be switched on or off on the monitor), and a single HDMI cable carries the video from a 3D-enabled PC, Blu-ray player, game console, cable set-top box or camera to the monitor.

"The Acer HR274H delivers the highest level of realism available for fans of 3D games, TV programming, movies and photos," said Chris White, senior director of product marketing, Acer America. "Every detail is so clear, bright and rich in color, immersing yourself in your favorite game or movie has never been so utterly exhilarating." Read more

Both tablets will sport a 1280 x 800 resolution screen, although the sizes aren't known yet. The main difference between the two models is that one will be WiFi (the A510), while the other will have 3G built in.
