Positive feedback also highlights the monitor's resolution, ease of setup, and clear picture quality.

    I love the thin profiled frame and the matte screen. Blacks and colors are washed out. No true black at all. Very few options as well for screen adjustment. The power cord has a brick on it which may be okay for some people but it’s old tech as far as I’m concerned. Fit and finish are great, quality is great for surfing, documents etc. But I would stay away for gaming, photo editing and or video editing. Would be great for a bright office environment.

    Amazing screen, bad controls for blue light filter

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you're a "set it and forget it" type and you will use in a room that's always bright or always dark, buy with confidence. If you need to toggle the blue light filter every morning and every night, you should probably get something else. Every time you adjust the blue light setting, the brightness & contrast get reset to the default for that particular blue light setting. The lowest blue light setting comes with a brightness, contrast setting of 60, 50, so if you want to use the monitor in a room that's not brightly lit, you have to turn down the brightness and contrast every time you adjust the blue light setting. Even at 60, 50 the monitor is VERY bright, and for me a white background page looks too bright. Also confusing: when you adjust brightness or contrast, the blue light setting will change to say "OFF" but it will actually remain ON the setting you left it. Aside from frustrating adjustment settings, this is a wonderful monitor. I chose it specifically because it's a VA panel, which can display really dark black. Great viewing angles, outstanding color accuracy, text appears smooth and sharp, pictures and videos come to life.

    perfect monitor for working remotely, it is a definite steal with the price I paid for. Bought two monitors and it works perfectly side by side.

    Bought this for a new gaming PC I built for my daughter. This was one sale and it was a great deal for this size monitor. It works great and the display looks fantastic.

    Fantastic ! Best 27" Monitor at this price range

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is the best 27" Monitor in this price range. I use this mainly for work. I was looking for a monitor that would be glare free and with good brightness, contrast, sharpness and color. In other words I wanted it to be bright and crisp but soothing to the eyes (like old Thinkpad screens). I have tried several brands and models (Dell, Lenovo, Asus etc) and this is the best for my purpose. This was much better than a Dell I have that is double the price. Text is crisp and clear without the jagged edges. Brightness and contrast are adequate. Fantastic for development

    Great budget Screen

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have 2 of these as a dual screen setup for work / leisure, i wouldn't recommend them for a designated gaming setup. For anything beside that they will do the job excellent on a budget. For me the biggest selling factor was VESA mount compatible and the flat / matte finish. Glossy monitors reflect way too much of their surroundings which would interfere with my usage. Bottom line at the price point i purchased these two monitors, they were the best bang for the buck and i'd buy them again any day.

    Just bought it and looks good. The color is bright but I found one defective pixel. Although it is on the side, not affect my vision very much, but still, you know, made me feel unperfect.

    A good, cheap option, but...

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    ... Not a good option if you're planning on color correcting in any Adobe software. I was wondering why everything I edited on my PC looked oversaturated on my phone for a while, then I realized it looked that way on every other device I viewed my work on because the colors are washed on this monitor. Like the other reviewers said, I've tried tirelessly to adjust the color profiles for this computer and they're still just not vibrant at all. It's a fine monitor if you don't need accurate colors and don't need anything more than 1080p resolution.

    Best buy ruined this Christmas present

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I must start off by saying the monitor is beautiful. However, this was purchased as a gift for my wife for Christmas. The item was shipped as is, in the manufacturers box, no other box, nothing wrapped around it. Bestbuy just stuck a label on it and shipped it out. This could have easily been stolen as it screamed "MONITOR, please steal me!" It arrived sitting on my front porch where my wife found it!! So much for the surprise. Thanks Bestbuy for ruining this Christmas present. Next time, please just wrap the darn thing in brown paper so the whole neighborhood doesn't see I have a new monitor for someone to steal.

    The worst 27" monitor ever!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I just finished unpacking and connecting the monitor. The quality is way worse than my other Dell 27" monitor (Both are FHD). I just bought it because of its price and great look. I suggest considering buying the following monitor instead: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-se2717hr-27-ips-led-fhd-freesync-monitor-piano-black/5996200.p?skuId=5996200

    Picked this monitor up today to use in a dual monitor setup. It says it comes with DVI and HDMI cables, it doesn't.. Only a VGA cable is included. Picture is stuck in 1600x900. I've changed the resolution in windows to 1920x1080.. Nope, windows keeps the Active Signal resolution stuck at 1600x900 Went to Acer's web site looking for support, finally figured out how to get ahold of live chat. After asking me my serial number 5 times, he asked me my date of purchase. Which was today, about an hour ago. He tells me he cant enter todays date and i need to send in proof of purchase etc etc etc.. I just need to know how to get the resolution right for God's sake. Acer, your support is crap. Going to return this junk tomorrow and get the Dell.

    good monitor, no speakers though!

    If you need the monitor to with internal speakers, do not purchase this. Despite the specs showing two 4W internal speakers. I was back-and-forth with Acer until they finally admitted this model has no internal speakers.
