Review on Acer KA272U Biipx: Next-Level Zero Frame Technology for Crisp 2560x1440, 75Hz, Wide Screen, IPS HD Display by Brian Mays

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good monitor but doesn't like to wake up

I'd be perfectly happy with it if it didn't wake up sometimes (maybe 1/10th of the time) AND the side buttons didn't respond in sleep mode so you had to resort to unplugging. I did some web searches and ACER forums and found things that seemed to work, but the problem returned. The lack of repeatability means you're never sure of success, and you can't be sure that everything you read actually fixed something. I went and bought a built in switch on the power cord. I can live with that, wish I had a real solution, but I don't recommend this nonsense to anyone.

Pros
  • 27" WQHD (2560 x 1440) widescreen IPS monitor with AMD Radeon FreeSync technology
Cons
  • Something else
