Some DVI-D sources use non-standard extensions to output HDMI signals including audio (e.g. ATI 3000-series and NVIDIA GTX 200-series) It's not part of the DVI spec and not guaranteed to work. So officially it doesn't support audio and you're best with HDMI.
For anyone wondering, you will need an HDMI socket on your monitor or tv to do this. DVI signals can not do audio, Only using a DVI to HDMI cable and a graphics card that will allow you to send HDMI signals over the DVI cable might work.

Whats up with the bezel on this anyway? Doesn't look that thick to me. Nice for the price, VA with a full set of inputs.
Shame its showing as £144 for me

A thinner bezel can result in more finger prints on the screen when you reposition your monitor... not a dealbreaker surely?

anyone for any idea about the quality of this acer monitor, got a LG 23.6inch and thinking to upgrade to this one. Is Acer any worse than Samsung, LG, Benq, Asus?

If memory serves me right BENQ was a spinoff from Acer. I own a Samsung and LG plasma which I use as monitors.. the only other monitor I have in the house is a 15 year old Iiyama 17in CRT! So I can't compare apples with apples.. my KA270Hbid looks great to me. Very happy.

I have this monitor. I got it last time it was on offer at this price about a month ago. I use it in dual monitor mode with an LG 50in plasma that I managed to get because of HUKD for £200. HUKD saved me loads with my new computer set up.

Well you learn something new everyday. Just noticed the monitor doesn't have speakers anyhoo so turns out it don't matter :smiley:

DVI supports audio, and nvidia cards will send audio over DVI. Intel integrated wont.

Anyone know if this is an anti reflect screen or one of the glossy ones?

Tempted with this, although I may wait for a decent 21:9 to go on offer. Definitely need two HDMI slots, I've heard a switcher can mess with the Input lag time?

If you can live with one of the sources not transmitting audio it has a DVI input as well as HDMI so you can still run 2 digital inputs straight into it, one just won't carry audio. If your source is still hdmi then you would want an HDMI to DVI cable.
I am also waiting on a good deal for a superwide curved monitor, I'm gonna grab one of these anyway as it'll do for gaming.
Looking at the spec the points that stand out are:
VA panel. Pitched as halfway between TN and IPS. Lowish response time, decent viewing angles and colour reproduction. But it is second only to OLED for how deep the blacks look on them.
Only comes with a VGA cable.
