5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome monitor for the price!!!

Please keep the price in mind when you read this review. With that in mind:

This is a remarkably good monitor. It has in its favor:
1. The picture is very sharp. I have bad vision and I can read it without my glasses!
2. The picture is more than bright enough, even in a well lit room.
3. The blacks and contrast are wonderful.
4. The color is beautuful. Maybe if I was doing PROFESSIONAL photofinishing or video production I might quibble, but then again maybe not.
5. It is excellent even for my style of gaming (Quake2, Alien Arena, Super Tux Cart, etc.) so the drop to 100 Hz from 144 Hz really isn't very noticable.
6. Even though I have the VA panel version, I have not been bothered by "ghosting" at all, even at 100 Hz.
7. Although I would have liked a metal stand, the plastic with some metal stand that comes with it is quite sturdy. And its easily wall mountable. (In fact, I now have it VESA mounted on a desktop stand that rotates it between landscape and portrait orientation.)

Against it:
1. If I really try I can tell a slight difference between it's 100 Hz and my Nitro 5's built in 144 Hz, but only using the type of really intense games that I do not generally play. And even then I can still play them.
2. I have no need for a VGA port, and it has only 1 HDMI port. But, an external HDMI switch can be quite inexpensive, even with remote control, especially considering the low cost of the monitor. I got a 3-1 switch so I could connect my computer, a TV tuner and an Amazon Fire stick.

All in all, for me, this is a really great monitor. I will almost certainly end up with one or two more in the series. I have to say that Acer really outdid itself with this one as to value for $$$. Well done Acer!

Addendum. I should have mentioned this. This monitor has no speakers/sound, To use the HDMI switch and use this to watch TV I had to put a HDMI audio extractor between the switch and the monitor and connect the audio output to a small external amplifier. Ended up with very good sound. Much better than any computer monitor I've ever had.

I started working from home. I have used it for 3 months. Packed very well, easy to setup. It is always interesting setting options with buttons provided. With practice I got it down. I have found I like to keep it low brightness and it has a blue blocker option. Very comfortable on the eyes. Works well attached to the laptop, sturdy on the desk. I do use it to play some games on steam and the big screen is nice, no refresh trouble great picture all the time.

These reviews are mixed together; I have the 27" IPS 100hz version. I use the HDMI (digital) port for connection, but it's nice that this monitor also has a VGA (analog) input option as VGA is a past standard for older computers. To my eyes the brightness and colors are great right out of the box, and the picture is very clear. I don't play fast-action video games, so I can't comment on how well it works for those. But for text, spreadsheets, and normal web browsing (including YouTube) this works very well.

Positives:
IPS (for me) is preferable to VA type monitors. It's a small difference but if you are picky, here's IPS.
The border is very thin, thus you've got maximum usable screen space with almost no waste.
The price was incredible at $120. I see that it's now $160 and I think still a good value there.
Great picture right out of the box.
VESA wall (or arm) mountable.
Choice of HDMI or VGA input.
Looks good with the power on or off.

Potential negatives (for some people):
Provided base is very wide at the bottom, and possibly difficult to attach to monitor. I tried briefly to attach the screen to the base, instructions say something about turning it to attach securely - I couldn't figure out how to attach it securely. This didn't matter to me because I planned to use a "monitor arm" (I have one from MOUNTUP) and that works great on my computer desk which is about 1" thick. But if you want to use the included base, I'm not sure how to attach it securely, and I might ding it a star for that.

The AC to DC power convertor (aka power supply) is inside the monitor, which gives it an elegant look vs. a separate power supply. However, if the power supply dies, good luck replacing it. At the price paid this is ok, and might even be preferable for some people.

The power cord and connections to the computer (HDMI or VGA) attach upward from the bottom, rather than straight into the back. Again this looks more elegant but I would prefer straight into the back, as that is easier to attach. You might need to do some fumbling around before you get it all connected.

The monitor is adjustable for brightness, colors, on/off etc. from the back of the unit on the right side. These are easily reached by "feel" once you know where they are, and which is which. One of the switches starts an on-screen "menu" that you can navigate. I made it appear but haven't tried to adjust it. This is probably how all monitors adjust now, but I preferred the old days when monitors had 5 or so physical switches on the front or bottom edge, so you could change brightness, color hue, etc. Of course those monitors were also much more expensive than today's monitors, for a smaller picture that wasn't as good as today's. Just saying that if you want to change the settings, it may take some fumbling to get the hang of it.

It doesn't have the pixel density of more expensive monitors, but for my use I don't need it the higher density. To me the picture and text looks really good from where I sit, which is about 2 feet away.

Overall this is fantastic for my uses as a VESA-mounted non-gaming monitor, and incredible at the price I paid. The only frustration I can imagine is if you use the included base/stand and can't figure out how to secure it to the screen (there must be a way, I would think, but I didn't try very hard since I was going to use an external "arm" mount anyway). Or if you do fast-action gaming, maybe it's not as good as some, but I have no idea about that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good monitor for the price, no problems attaching the base.

First thing I noticed right away after setting this up was that compared to my older 24" Acer monitor, this one is considerably brighter and the image is considerably clearer. As for gaming, I only do flight sims so I don't think the speed of the monitor is as critical for that as it may be for some other games. But this one did not give me a hit on FPS like a higher resolution monitor would, while it is still a bigger and clearer view. I paid $120 a few days ago and I think it's more than worth that price, however I see today it's down to $99. Seems like a good deal, and at that price I'd buy another except I already have a two monitor setup and no room to add a 3rd.

Setup was easy. I'm no expert on these things so I always have a lot of anxiety ahead of time and worry there will be problems I can't work out. Not so here. Followed simple instructions, plugged it in, turned on the monitor then the computer, and the screen lit up with a perfect picture. There are options for a few adjustments and the on screen prompts make them easy to use if you feel you need to fine tune it for your situation.

Now, for the base attachment that so many are complaining about... I think maybe Acer has fixed this problem now and this one was from new stock. There was no need to force anything. The base simply slides into the receptacle on the back of the monitor and clicks to lock it in place. Removing it is easy as well by pushing the release button and sliding it out. I'd recommend laying the monitor face down (on a soft surface of course) where there is good light and examining how the attachment works before putting it together. It's pretty easy to see, and the only thing you need to do is make sure you line it up right to slice it in until it clicks. If you line it up right first it doesn't take hardly any pressure at all. So take a few seconds to study it first and you won't have a problem, at least not if the one you get is the same design that they sent to me.

I took a risk and bought two of the 27" Full HD monitors. I wanted two, but I just didn't want to order one at a time to evaluate it before ordering the second--which is what I'd normally do when ordering multiples of something of this nature (in electronics).

I'm glad I didn't.

I'm really, really happy with these monitors. They don't take forever to start up from powering on or from the lock screen, the quality is perfect for me, and the colors are clear and crisp. I use them for work, which includes streaming videos (tutorial and instructional), sometimes gaming. And I've had no issues.

I wouldn't hesitate to order more of these for future PC builds.

Este es un monitor ideal para el trabajo, o incluso para jugar de forma mediana por su tasa de refresco, su tamaño de 27" te permite muy bien todo en el escritorio, navegar en Internet, archivos de Excel, documentos, programación y demás, también el tamaño es lo justo de grande para trabajar cerca y lo suficiente grande para estar lejos y ver películas muy cómodo, el monitor No tiene parlantes, aunque el pc lo reconozca como altavoz por hdmi no tiene, (no es un problema para mi), y cuenta con la fuente interna en la pantalla, así que no vas a tener una fuente que acomodar en el escritorio, solo un cable común de las pc de antes, la resolución es muy buena y los colores también, tiene el modo de detectar automáticamente la entrada de video utilizada, lo que es muy bueno, es una muy buena inversión, recomendado el producto.

Para las personas que son sensibles a la luz azul, deben configurarlo en lo más mínimo dependiendo del gusto y en los ajustes de pantalla de Windows activar la luz nocturna.

1» la calidad de imagen es super notoria ya que su resolución nativa es de 1920x1080 tanto los juegos y los videos se ven de 10, su frecuencia de actualización es de 100 Hz. por si precio y marca reconocida vale la pena.

Got this as a second monitor for a stand I got for the wife since she works from home. The monitor is better than the old one we have. The price was great for it ($99).
