An A’TIN’s question to ‘Ninang’ Acer results in a billboard and train wrap for SB19

What happens when an enthusiastic fan confronts a brand on Facebook?  If you're Acer Philippines, and the fan requests larger photos of P-Pop Kings SB19, you deliver!

It all started when a Facebook fan remarked on the #AcerCampus2025 cover photo showing SB19, "Ninang, wala bang ilalaki ito!? Malabo po ang Mahalima." Without missing a beat, Acer Philippines responded with an epic "Sige ipapa-billboard natin."

In just one week, Acer Philippines responded to this request with a "Ok na 'to" and a shot of a large #AcerCampus2025 billboard along EDSA.  But the fun did not end there.  Acer went all out and surprised A'TIN with a train wrap on LRT Line 2!

"Acer goes above and beyond for its brand ambassadors, who embody the spirit of the brand and this campaign. When your ambassadors have such passionate fans, you have to match their energy.” ~Princess Laosantos, Senior Marketing Manager at Acer Philippines

Acer Introduces New Smart Monitors for Home Entertainment, Work, and Gaming

Today, Acer unveiled a new range of adaptable smart monitors designed to provide customized experiences for a range of consumer needs and lifestyles. The 31.5- and 27-inch space-saving models of the Acer DA1 and Nitro GA1 series monitors are made to fit into any home setup. They can be used as a dependable gaming companion with a fast refresh rate, an extended workstation for daily tasks, or an entertainment hub for streaming content. The monitors also offer a plethora of intelligent functions, such as wireless projection, Multiview for simultaneous viewing from multiple sources, and more. 

High-definition Resolution for Smooth Frames and Vivid Details

The new Acer DA271K and DA321QK LED monitors offer 4K UHD resolution, while the Nitro GA271U P and Nitro GA321QU P boast WQHD resolution and a fast refresh rate of up to 180 Hz to provide fluid gameplay. With its HDR10 technology and 250 nits of brightness, colors and images are reproduced to be more lifelike and immersive. It also supports NVIDIA® G-SYNC® and AMD FreeSyncTM, which reduces screen tearing when playing or watching videos. Rapid response times and low latency also help reduce input lag, allowing fast-moving action and content to appear blur-free. 

Convenience, Productivity and Personalized Features

With features meant to offer increased productivity, versatility, and countless entertainment options, all four monitors are equipped with them. Organizing movies, series, and other content from various apps and subscriptions, Google TV allows users to access well-known apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, and YouTube from a single screen. Google CastTM makes it simple to cast videos, photos, shows, and more from phones or tablets straight to the monitors, and the devices' wireless projection and screen mirroring technologies do away with the need for numerous wires to extend displays. In addition to facilitating the decluttering of wires, Bluetooth connectivity allows these monitors to be easily connected to other devices, including speakers and peripherals. These are Internet of Things (IoT) products that can be seamlessly integrated with the smart device ecosystem around them by connecting to Wi-Fi networks.

The Acer DA1 and Nitro GA1 smart series monitors have a Multiview feature that divides the screens into different sections, which further improves their usability. Those who are constantly multitasking will find this helpful as it allows them to view, interact, and control content from multiple sources all at once right from the displays. For video calling and streaming, users can connect external webcams. This lets live streamers upload their videos straight to the monitors by selecting their favorite platform. Its VESA wall-mountable stand, which allows for more desk space in home setups, makes it simple to find the perfect viewing position.

Pricing and Availability

Exact specifications, prices, and availability will vary by region. To learn more about availability, product specifications and prices in specific markets, please contact your nearest Acer office via www.acer.com.
