It might seem as though the majority of technology equipment is as small, efficient and compact as possible, but with the new 'Zero Frame Design' that's being released by [Acer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/predator-x32-x2) in the form of the Acer Predator XB271HU, we're seeing a revolutionary kind of work being done with regard to computer monitors. The skeletal Acer Predator XB271HU monitor, while indeed impressive when it comes to external design, is a beast under the hood; a 165 Hz refresh rate and [NVidia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alienware-1) [G-Sync](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-sync-ulmb2) allow the screen to react to received imagery seamlessly.
