The essence of a good, affordable monitor. A work of art, really.

Fantastic monitors! I bought two of these when they were on sale for around $180, but even $200 or more is a steal. After owning them for a few months, here are my thoughts: 1. They are amazingly stylish and clean. They will look good in any office and on any desk.2. There is very little customization, but I don't miss it.3. The bezels are very thin, but not exactly "Zero Bezel".4. The screens themselves are very thin! It's really impressive. You must match the colors on the graphics card, not…

But great monitor. to my rating.

The stand is absolutely terrible. I have two of these monitors on each side of my Asus monitor and while the Asus is stationary the two Acer wobble a bit. The picture quality, colors and viewing angles are fantastic, but these stands pick up VERY small movements.

Monitor is great - broken HDMI cable

So far a good monitor for the money. The initial setup was painful as the included HDMI cable was defective. I did a few reboots and all adjustments to the monitor before replacing the included cable with one of the twisted random cable nests on the back of the drawer. Instant connection when using the old cable. Moral of the story - the included cables have not been tested - swap them out for a known good one if you have connection problems.

I highly recommend it in my opinion

Easy to set up - very good price - would buy again or recommend. I use it as a second monitor for general office work and watching YouTube and other simple videos. Image quality is really good for me - I'm a regular consumer but not a gamer or photo/video addict.

I love Acer monitors, they suit me

This is my second Acer monitor in about 10 years. The image quality is excellent right from the start. My last Acer was still working until the power button started acting like crazy. I had to keep pressing it to turn it on. He was 8 years old and the picture quality was still fantastic. If I could get a new power button I would still use it.

Not quite what I ordered

The monitor I received is not the one shown in the product description. It's still the same Acer, same width and height. But definitely not as thin as I was hoping (because the monitor is very thin in the photo) and the bases are different.

looks good so far: my review

The packaging was great, I've had monitors/tvs delivered poorly in the past and this one was well packaged and protected. Installation was very easy as they put a collapsible loop over the screw so it could be screwed into the base by hand (no tools needed). The picture is great, the thin profile is attractive and it looks like it will last, but it will take time to really see how long it will last.

Great monitor, especially when it's on sale.

I bought it on sale for $150 and couldn't be happier. Really great monitor. Fast response time, vivid colors, rich blacks, ultra light weight and very small (1cm) bezel. The only downside is that it doesn't support VESA mount, but the included stand is sufficient for normal use. The stand is tiltable, but unfortunately it doesn't rotate or raise or lower. If I needed a VESA mount I would probably give it 4 stars. If you really need a VESA mount but still want to buy this monitor, search the…

The right pair for a dual monitor setup

I got two of these monitors for my dual monitor setup due to the size and stability of the base. My brother uses a few of these with his computer and I really liked them so I picked the same ones for mine. There is a small gap between the two monitors (see photo) at the bottom because the screens are tilted slightly downwards and this tilt is not adjustable. This and the assembly (see below) are my only minor things. Universal with HDMI, DMI and VGA connections but not for the latest 4K systems

Great buy, good quality!

I was looking for a monitor for my MacBook Pro 2016. I didn't want to pay too much either. After receiving it, it was very easy to assemble and use. I am very happy with it. Now my eyes can rest. The picture is very good, colors and sharpness are very good. I'm using a USB-C to HDMI connection. Excellent purchase.

Great for the home office

I have 2 of the 27" monitors I use for work connected to my 16" MacBook Pro as extended desktops. Super high quality and no refresh rate issues - also works well with Flux screen color matching. The only downside is that you cannot mount these monitors by hand, so a stand must be used. However, the stand is very easy to remove and very convenient to carry around (don't forget to line the screen). Don't play much, but picture quality is phenomenal for movies and videos.

Good, but one single flaw!

This screen is great for office work, picture quality and upgrades don't help for video games, but it's still a good monitor for the price. The only problem I found is that you can't adjust the monitor at all, no up/down, left/right etc. once mounted it's all.

Best value for money, 100%

I first bought two of these monitors (as shown in the picture) and now a third is on the way. It's a fantastic monitor for nearly $200 and here's why. PROS: Fast response time and smooth images, frame rate of 60 fps, frame rate of 120 Hz, ideal for gaming, entertainment and work. Remarkable image quality, never quite compared to 1080p. Thanks to IPS, the resolution on these monitors looks and feels much higher. Looks good and aesthetic in any setting, especially paired with a dual monitor to…

Does not support VESA - use the HumanCentric VESA mounting bracket

It would be so easy for them to provide an adapter so it could be mounted on a VESA monitor mount, but they don't. The HumanCentric VESA mounting adapter for Acer monitors works well and requires washers for mounting.

Input lag/discoloration/overdrive (fixed)

I bought this mainly because of the very low input lag for gaming and was satisfied with the performance. The only issue I had was "discoloration" (that's the best I can describe it) when something moved on the screen. After browsing through some other reviews here and elsewhere, I read that disabling the "OD" (overdrive) features in the settings fixes the problem and resolves itself. I don't know how or if this affects input lag, but it still works great and for the price you can't beat it.

This is the shakiest monitor I've ever dealt with. I can't breathe next to it to keep it from shaking. Support kept telling me to reinstall the stand. still shaking I feel sick. Don't buy this rickety junk.

  • Very expensive

So far so good with this monitor. The base has a small footprint, but the mount is pretty wobbly. Very disappointed with this fact. Also, there is no installation guide in the database, but it's pretty intuitive. Because this screen is so thin, it is flexible and feels extremely fragile. You have to be very careful with it! Also, the monitor doesn't come with a DVI cable, so be careful if you need one.

Great for non-competitive players.

I recently bought this for my gaming PC. As for the design, I like it a lot. i am very thin As for games, everything is very good here. Response time is more than adequate for most games and I never noticed any ghosting. The only thing that caught my eye are the pixels. If you don't use this for gaming, this should be perfect. If you use this for gaming, you'll notice some pixels, but not enough to make the game look bad. The only thing that confused me about this monitor is the bezel. There is

I like it, the matte screen doesn't glare

I've only had this monitor for a few days, love it, the matte screen doesn't glare, 27 inches really makes a difference, I'm still planning on getting a dueling monitor in the future and the Acer Zero Frame makes it easy to add one later and frankly it's a very good price for the quality of this monitor. I bought this monitor to use on my gaming rig that I'm building and I can't wait to see what it has when it comes to showing another great feature I love, it's the ability , VGA , DVI and HDMI…
