Acer RT270bmid 27 Inch FHD Monitor (IPS Panel, 4 ms, ZeroFrame, HDMI, DVI) Black/Silver

I've now had three of these, and not because any have broken, but because I've bought them for work and we're still using all three. They're big, stylish and have a great picture. They're perhaps not as bright as some other more expensive units, but this is good when you're working on them all day and all night as we are. This is in part due to the matt screen which is nice and non-reflective and not the horrid gloss stuff some screens have. This gives them a more pro-finish and in practice makes them easier and better to work with.They've also managed to get the sharpness well balanced, not over sharpened like some units (I'm looking at you Samsung), but equally not so soft that text looks blurry, just right in my opinion.Highly Recommended

First off I'd just like to say i am comparing this to my 9 year old Samsung monitor that has a TN screen and not LED lit, a comparison to a newer monitor may not be as enthusiastic.I was pretty nervous about buying 1080p at 27 inches but i needn't have been, at normal viewing distances the pixels aren't stuck out laughing at you for not buying a higher resolution, you cant see individual pixels unless you get very close simple as that.The monitor is easy to assemble, sturdy on its stand and it is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.Turning it on i was greeted with an image that was far, far superior to my Samsung monitor (which was calibrated with a Pantone Huey), after half an hour for the monitor to warm up i calibrated it with the Huey and boy does it look beautiful (don't worry though it wasn't a million miles off if you don't calibrate). I am seeing detail that simply was not visible on my 9 year old Sammy, seeing truly is believing in this case.One thing to note is i turned Overdrive (OD in the menu) off, i don't think it needed it if i am honest, videos look fluid with no noticeable blur and gaming doesn't seem to suffer in anyway.

this is a budget 4k monitor so please keep that in mind. for the money, you get proper 4k and a decent refresh rate. sure, the picture quality and refresh rate is not on par with a proper g-sync panel, but you are not paying that price. gaming is acceptable and videos are more than acceptable - great in fact. the build quality is good and you get all the cables you need. however, my only advice/caution is you need to spend some time adjusting the colour as for some reason out of the box it comes with everything set at 100 (colour, contrast etc). once the colours are set, you can enjoy 4k. if you want to experience 4k for a very cheap price then this is the monitor to get. of course the screen tears in games as this is a budget monitor but when watching movies, i really have no issues. as it is a TN panel, you do have to sit pretty much in front of the display but as a desktop display, this is not a problem. again, for the price, i really recommend.

I had been using my old 27 inch iMac as a external monitor for my work MacBook, but the Mojave release of OSx seems to have broken that capability so needed to find an alternative without breaking the bank. Made the mistake of asking the techies at work about monitors and got a ton of new acronyms to learn. So it seemed like an IPS display was the one to go for.Picked this up as a warehouse deal and couldn't be happier with it. I'm only using for email etc so can't comment on its suitability for gaming etc, but at the price I can't have any complaints.Now anyone want to buy a 27" iMac?

The monitor was easy to setup. Its great for me as I had to have a bigger monitor for work due to issues with my eyes. I have reduced the brightness and contrast. Sadly I cannot change the font clarity due to the graphics card limitation of my crappy old Lenovo workstation, the only highest supported resolution is 1920 x 1080. I do plan to get the upgraded/latest model for my Acer home cinema laptop that has a powerful NVIDIA graphics card in it. Should be amazing then rather than trying to see everything on my 15" laptop screen. I would definitely recommend this monitor based on someone who has issues with office overhead lights and old equipment. I think all offices these days should have good quality workstations and monitors.

Overall the panel itself is very ok. The contrast isnt particularly good, as I am using it on a desk the edges are colour shifted and the hue is really warm out of the box on most presets. The speakers arent very loud nor do they sound particularly good. However for the price and my use case of casual consumption I was willing to accept these compromises. Unfortunately the first monitor I received seemed to be off, as the stand seemed to not align, later I noticed that it had an indent on the right side going down the complete width of the monitor and it would flicker and turn off occasionally. So I asked for a replacement. I received it and instantly noticed that the new monitor was better than the previous. The stand pieces seemed to align properly and the panel itself wasnt damaged. Unfortunately yet again after 5hrs or so it turns off completely for few seconds at a time and flickers when it is on approx every 15-20s and it is noticeable whilst watching videos or browsing the internet as many can occur at once.

Looks nice, good features I bought for better resolution in gaming 1440p doesn't look great and if you try 4K drops to 30 Hzs bought this in a black friday deal - should have looked into it more before I bought, Son is using it now on his PC, reduced the input resolution 1080p and he is happy with it at 60Hz's - could have bought a great 1080p quick refresh rate monitor for the money I paid for this - You live and learn! Suppose it would be good for photography etc

Wow is this monitor amazing, 28" of 4k display 144hz for that price?!?! You will find no others like it what isn't there to love the stand it nice and sturdy and will take a bash. The aesthetics go it's amazing the black goes nicely with the silver. One complaint is that the buttons mess up the sleekness of it. However if you're looking for performance this monitor is defiantly worth it
