Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the S271HL 27" LED FHD Monitor's large screen size and its affordability as major pros. Positive feedback also highlights the monitor's resolution, ease of setup, and clear picture quality. However, some users point out the lack of built-in speakers and limitations with the stand's adjustability as drawbacks. A few customers also mentioned concerns about the refresh rate not meeting expectations.

    100,000,000:1 Contrast ratio. That's ONE HUNDRED MILLION TO ONE. LOL. That's ridiculous. But here are the good and the bad things about it: The good: The monitor weighs just over 10 pounds, which is relatively light for this monitor. I did expect it to be thinner, as I have another brand which is much thinner and about the same price, however, it is still thin enough to be sleek. It's a 1980x1080 FHD display but playing some 4K stuff on youtube really made it feel like it was 4k. The colors are very vivid and the clarity is astonishing. I hooked it up using HDMI, as using VGA would defeat the purpose of this high-end monitor. I played a blu-ray movie on it and at 60hz, it was a little flickery. The options on the computer allowed me to place it on 59hz (which was the default) and it seemed to improve. As for inputs, it has HDMI, DVI, and VGA. Perfect for your needs. It also has a blue light off option which is great to protect your eyes, especially if you constantly stare at a monitor. CON: It only came with a VGA cable and no HDMI. BIG CON: It says borderless because the edges are very thin, but when you display the image, there is about 3/8s of an inch dark space on both sides and the top, which you can't get rid of through the menu. CON: The menu on the bottom is a bit clunky but most monitors don't have good menus anyway. I do recommend it.

    I bought this as I got the early Black Friday pricing for $120. Bought 2 of them to install on dual monitor mount. Nice VA panel w/ VESA mounting support.

    My wife is controller for a company and works from home several days a week. She works with finance and accounting spreadsheets open on her screen. This monitor is a great improvement over her previous monitor. Great for her use.

    I had to replace another Acer that had given me many years good service. This is a little bigger, a little brighter, has more clarity of color. I am very happy with this choice and will probably continue to purchase their products.

    Bought as monitor for fixed laptop. Was surprised at the color. Very nice and bright. Good clarity as well. Never bought Acer monitors before, but will definitely put them at the top of my list for good value for the price, $149 on sale.

    I love the size of this monitor! As a student I usually have multiple things open at once that I am using simultaneously and the 13” screen on my MacBook just doesn’t cut it. It’s no Retina display, but definitely a great option for an affordable price.

    We purchased this larger Acer monitor to replace another Acer monitor that was still working after many years of daily use, but was smaller in size. This larger monitor has proven to be a perfect choice! Acer is tops in quality and value!

    monitor did not work

    I bought this monitor to use as 3rd extended monitor on my laptop. I first tried the DVI --> HDMI cable and Windows 10 would not recognize the monitor. I updated the driver. I spent about 25 minutes trying to get it to work, but no luck. Next day I tried it with VGA cable and it worked!!! After about 5 to 6 days of working, I moved around the positioning of my other monitor so I could move it closer to my laptop screen. Suddenly the visuals on the monitor got very distorted. I made sure cable was plugged in correctly and tried to update the driver one more time. I completed powered down the laptop and restarted it. No luck. I tried again with the DVI cable. No luck. Just for the heck of it I tried it with HDMI to HDMI cable also. No luck. Windows just would not detect this monitor no matter what I did. I even got the software from Acer website to installed it. Still no luck. In this process, I came to find out that this monitor was actually manufactured in 2011. I don't know why it's now being sold in 2017 (nearly 2018). After finding out the manufactured date, I am not surprised the monitor did not work well with Windows 10. I only tried to use as an extended monitor (2nd and 3rd) - it did not work. I don't recommend this monitor if you're wanting to use it as an extended monitor.

    Picked 2 of these up on black Friday for $119 a piece. Set them up and the quality is wonderful. 178 degree viewing angle- they are definitely not lying. The picture is the same no matter what angle you look at it from. Great monitors.

    You really can't go wrong with this monitor. Rich colors and images are sharp. Set up is a breeze. Over time I have purchases 2 of these for home use, one for work and another one for my daughter; and they are all still working. Love it!
