Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the CB281HK 28" LED 4K UHD FreeSync Monitor's excellent picture quality, 4K resolution, and affordable price. Many appreciate the vibrant colors, adjustable stand, and fast response time, making it suitable for both work and gaming. However, some users find the built-in speakers inadequate and the viewing angles could be improved. Overall, the positive feedback on image quality and performance outweighs the minor drawbacks reported by some customers.

    Bought this as part of black friday deal and honestly, i like it a lot. Initial setup does take a bit of a time from unboxing to calibration for optimal viewing. However, once done, colors look very crisp and feels very good

    Great 4k monitor for the price. There are other 4k monitors that are a bit more expensive, but this one is a great budget monitor.

    I had some issues getting it to work with my HP EliteBook Folio 9480M but that was due to a driver issue on my laptop. Once it is connected, it is a gorgeous monitor with stunning resolution. Highly recommended!

    you really can't balk at the price for a 4K monitor. stunning visuals, more advanced eyes might notice faults but the average use can't/won't. sturdy pedestal and ability to remove it for wall or arm mounting.

    This is one of the best monitor that you can buy with the given price. The display and the adjustment are great. The only downsize of the monitor is the audio. You have to get other audio source.

    I wanted a wide monitor for my desktop. The Acer was at Best Buy at a good price. The reviews were consistently good, so I made the purchase. The display is great. Bright & vivid. The adjustment buttons are a bit fiddly, but maybe it's just my chunky fingers. Many options for input. I use the DisplayPort because of my Dell Optiplex computer, but I've also used the HDMI input to hook up an Inspiron. Both looked really good.

    Console gaming is capped at 60hz. I’m using this monitor for xbox one x to play at 4k. I’m loving it. Can’t speak for PC as i have only connected this monitor to consoles via HDMI

    Went into best by not knowing what we were purchasing have no clue on gaming monitors! We were greeted by people with an abundance of knowledge in gaming. They helped us out with our sons monitor and told us about the features and how much quicker it is to play a game then on a regular TV or a computer! My son was so excited about it and is very pleased with the product would recommend this to everybody!

    Great picture, super solid stand, no dead pixels. -1 Star because the first panel shipped was dead when I received it. Had to exchange for another to get a good one.

    I bought two of these monitors to replace a Hanns-G and a BenQ, both of which were dying. The Hanns lasted severral years. The BenQ only a couple. Intallation was effortless. Finding the right combination of resolution to fill the screen at 150% so these old eyes could read the text was like going to the eye doctor. Is "A" better than "B" and so on. But there were plenty of choices, so younger eyes would go to the most resolution and older ones could find a good compromise. i used 2560x1440 eventually. I have nothing bad to say about these monitors. The fact that they came with different connection cables was a great bonus. I am using DP with an Nvidia Quadro K2200 video card. Oh, a trick to setting it up - place the monitor on a flat surface and attach the stand. Otherwise you will spend many frustrating minutes trying to get it to work.

    Decent display, terrible for gaming.

    The website for this monitor states that it's refresh rate is 60 Hz however, what it doesn't tell you is that to be able to run at 60 Hz you have to scale the resolution down to 1920 x 1080. At 4K (3840 x 2160) this monitor is limited to 30 Hz which makes it terrible for 4K gaming. Will be returning to the store and exchanging for something better.

    Does not play 4K movies

    Black Friday deal was a steal for $250 as back up for computer monitor and watch movies. Unfortunately after hooking up new Xbox One X and a 4K movie this unit does not support HDR10 so won’t play 4K movies. Also refresh rate is slow that lags on fast paced PC gaming. Returned the unit and hooked back my ASUS monitor no 4K movie for now.
