Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent picture quality easy to assemble and as easy as plug and play

At 100 Hz, this monitor gets the job done. I wish it was possible to turn the monitor in landscape, but its simply not possible out the box. (see picture; its the one on the right)

Works great! No Latency i’m able to game with ease

Looks great, priced great. Got this for my son and he loves it!

The monitor is so cool highly recommend this graphics are really good.

I loved the monitor, excellent features and quality

I have this monitor for 3 months now. Love this monitor. Can online game for hours and it doesn't bother my eyes at all like my old monitor for work does lol. Very simple to set up. Plug it in and turn it on. Very pleased with this purchase. Will get one to replace the work monitor after the holidays.

Very pleased with my purchase, great deal, looks way better in person.

good color, clarity, surprised affordable price. time will tell

am a hard core gamer/computer user. I am on the computer for the entire day and for many hours at a time and having a nice screen with a lot of real estate and good crisp resolution helps with eye fatigue and strain. Work and play are easy on this screen.... Setup. Setup was a snap. 1 HDMI port and 1 VGA to toggle between sources is nice. I wished it had Display Port option as well. VESA mounts are available to put on my mounting arms but I chose to have this as a roving Monitor. Base is easy to tilt up and down. I did wish it could rise up and down and left and right. But it's ok. Monitor came with HDMI cord and power plug and base support. Took all but 5 mins and I was up and running. Button to select menu and other options was easy. Size is great. Nice wide screen ability. I played my hunting game and the rendering was beautiful. No buffering. Response was good no latency between screen play and mouse use. I bump up the HZ to 100 and no issues. Graphics quality is really good. I streamed 4K flawlessly. I streamed 8K great as well. Acer has come a long way with a solid performing monitor. I use my gaming laptop to run with no issues. Would highly recommend this product. Nice job Acer.

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. 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.

This is review of Acer KA272 Ebi 27” IPS LED Free Sync Monitor. At glance, It allows maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080, refresh rate of 100hz, display type LED and panel type IPS. It has 1 HDMI Input and 1 VGA. As per its specification, its purpose is for gaminig, but after the usage and testing as non heavy gamer, the display suffice the entry to average gaming experience I would say. Then for movie and regular task reading document, navigating web sites the display does its job. Its setting from the display can access via buttons on the rear right side of the display. Multiple buttons consisting of four, from which one of them is different in the form of alike a mouse joystick making easy to access. Upon pressing it appears on the right bottom side the menu options to adjust brightness, level of led among others and to remark it has nice set of defaults for low light, lower level of blue light, or for movie and standard. These comes handy as a start point if need to customize each of the options as are easy to access. The only thing about these buttons as downside I can tell is the power off/display off button that is same as rest, as result takes couple of time to get used to it if need to turn off frequently. On the note to the graphic and resolution, in general I can say it is smooth and up to the what is normal today in most of displays for the entry level display. It doesn’t make feel wow but neither the opposite, and still good enough to enjoy playing or watching move. One curiosity to remark, the display specification states includes w speakers of 2w optional. And the display does include speakers at the bottom each side. Then as connections to the notebook, the windows audio system does show the driver for the display. However, upon changing to it, can’t hear any. Based on the manual, there seems an optional audio input that need to be connected with the notebook. But the model I am reviewing doesn’t have it, I couldn’t’ find it. But having it connected with HDMI cable, kind of I am lean to think it should work, but I couldn’t make it work at least for the period of usage for this review. And as minor detail that I think it is not important for gamer, the rear side of the display has the holes made for the wall mounting support. To conclude, the display does give smooth and clear images, good resolution and more than enough for every day task and gaming experience. But not enough for the heavy gamer due to is refresh rate being limited to 100hz. But again, good for entry level to average users or kids playing games that doesn’t take too much of resolution and refresh rate.

Acer is a very decent manufacturer for all kinds of computer hardware. From fully built systems to monitors and components, there isn't much Acer isn't doing. I'm no stranger to their products as I have owned - and still own - some of their hardware. Let's see how the KA272 performs. First the pros and cons: Pros: + Budget friendly + 27" size is good for most tasks + Matte screen which reduces glare and reflections + 100Hz refresh rate @ 1080p + Freesync compatible + Nice glossy finish + Good image quality and colors + Comes with all cables you might need + Setup is easy and intuitive (plug and play) + VESA mount compatible Cons: - Only 2 types of connections (HDMI and VGA), but no display port - Glossy finish is nice but is a fingerprint magnet - Base and stand feel flimsy - Image is good but could be better for an IPS screen - Settings menu is a bit hard to navigate If you're looking for a low-cost, 27" Freesync gaming monitor, the KA272 could be a good choice. Same goes if you play in 1080p, this screen won't disappoint and the high refresh rate will help make the rendering smoother than other monitors in this price segment. As it is a more affordable screen, it comes with some downsides. The main issues are the connections which omit a Display Port entirely and the rather bland image rendering. It certainly isn't the perfect screen, but if you're on a budget and you need a good monitor, go for it.

I was looking for a nice monitor to be able to use in my classroom, my current monitor is definitely past it’s prime, and this fit what I needed perfectly. I’ve been testing it out at home in my office while I work from home during the summer, but this will be going right in to my class as soon as the new school year starts in a couple of weeks. Size is great, 27” is a nice sweet spot for using in my class. It offers enough space to be able to pin some windows side by side with still being able to see plenty of info each window. The 1080p HD resolution, fast refresh rate, 100Hz, and really small bezels, really make everything look great. Text is easy to read, images and graphics really pop. I was working on a project that had me working with large spreadsheets, and formatting tables for reports; the wide, crisp screen really came in handy for this. Now, I have to be honest here and say that while I love this monitor for work, another reason I was excited to start using this was for gaming. I run some AAA games on here as well. I connect my ASUS ROG G14(2023) RTX4060 gaming laptop to it, and I love the way the games look. Refresh rate works well, graphics are clean. I played the new Diablo 4, WoW, some Fortnite, and CoD. Everything looked great on this screen. I primarily use a ASUS Chromebook for work, it runs ona AMD Ryzen 7000 series processor with integrated graphics card and this looks great for work as you might expect. I am able to run some games like Minecraft on this, as well as some Cloud Gaming through XBox and Nvidia. Everything looks fantastic on this monitor. This is a great monitor that won’t break the bank. Screen is nice and large, everything looks great, and refresh rate does a good job for gaming. 1080p is a great resolution for just about everything. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a hybrid monitor for office work, and gaming. I’ve really enjoyed using this over the lasts week and a half.

ACER - KA272 EBI 27" IPS LED FREESYNC MONITOR (HDMI, VGA) BEST IN PRICE RANGE – INTRO GAMING MONITOR / OFFICE MONITOR The Acer KA272 EBI is definitely the best “bang” for the buck. The IPS panel has a nice wide viewing angle and good overall picture quality. The 27 inch screen provides a good size for gaming and office applications. A 100hz refresh rate is well above other monitors in this range. I had no problems driving the monitor at 100hz and synced 100fps. I have no issue recommending this monitor for a good budget gaming experience. My rating is a reflection of price to performance. There is no point comparing this monitor to one costing 10-20X more as that is not the target market. PROs - Large Bright (enough) 27 Inch IPS screen - NO POWER BRICK (direct plug in) - Easy to access menu buttons - 3 Year Warranty CONs - None at this price point SOME ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS This is the best monitor I’ve seen at this price point. Depending upon your point of view, for a small additional investment (about 20% more) you can acquire the next level up ACER monitor that includes Display Port and a higher refresh rate. Because there is not a display port and the HDMI is 2.0 (instead of 2.1) Modern NVIDIA cards won’t recognize the monitor as GSYNC compatible. Again, it is not advertised as GSYNC compatible and basic Vertical Synchronization will still work. No points off, just something you might want to know about. SUMMARY This would make a great office monitor, everyday monitor, or budget gaming monitor.
