What about the silver surfers?
I've found that resolution and size is perfect for the older generation of people I support - the ones who are finding HD on a 22-24 inch monitor almost unusable without bumping up the font size.
It makes everything BIG which is what they need, without screwing up other attributes of the GUI.

If you had took the time to search for the correct mfg model number (which I clearly pointed out) you might have noticed the one you linked to is different.
The part number on the ebuyer page is UM.HW3EE.010, (they may have got this wrong - don't shoot the messenger), but for this model Acer states 4ms (thank you):
Dunno if this is sarcasm or a genuine question? Hmmmm
I've not had them tested within the last year or so but I have had my white stick lengthened if that helps :sunglasses:

Dunno why so many knock 1080p @ 27"
Currently sat at a desk with my head around 15 inches from a 28" 1080p Samsung VA monitor and I cant see individual pixels, it looks pin sharp to me and I have near perfect vision.

Try 1440p/4k, you will soon see the difference. That said i used my 1440p monitor in 1080p for some games before upgrading my GPU and it wasnt that offensive.

sorry pal but you are sitting far too close to your monitor for H&S reasons.

I just got a ruler out and checked. The two 28" 4k monitors infront of me are at around 18" if I sit up straight.
The 15" 4k laptop screen is actually slightly further away.
Typically have the 40" 4k at a similar distance.
Ideally I reckon around 50" would be perfect for me; just for more screen real estate (coding), but will wait until 5k 50" available at a sensible price* - 40" is definitely starting to push it.
*Or 8k, but suspect that'll be an even longer wait and require a different connector.

To those taking offence, trust me, I for one an no hardware snob. I always buy AMD/Radeon, stop taking it personally, I can still picture the diagonal objects in games at 1080p at 27". Not nice. Like Screen tearing, till I saw an example I didn't know what it was, this is similar type of issue imo

Having got used to 4k 27" (also got 4k 15" laptop and another 4k 40" monitor), even 1080p 24" seems to be pushing it a bit - 1920*1200 for 24 seemed to edge it back to the sharpness I've been spoilt by!
This monitor will be retina at a viewing distance of 42" for 20:20 eyesight and for a 4k you can sit at 21".

I'm sat at a 27' monitor writing this, obviously I can't see anything on the screen as apparently its 'yucky', I'm off to the optician tomorrow since I actually can see things on the screen and doesn't look 'yucky'...

27" at 1080p isn't pleasent. Good price though.

Huh? I went from 24" 1080p to a 27". It's much better.

It's all relative. For someone with good eyesight sat a typical distance it doesn't look incredible but it's ok. Sit a little further back to enjoy a movie or game and honestly a higher resolution looks no better. "Retina" level display is just a matter of distance for a given eyesight level.
Also for a slightly older user, like say my parents who set Windows scaling to 150% on a 24" 1080p monitor, this is pretty much perfect.
I've got the KA270H and honestly I've been really happy with it. Sure 1440p would look a lot better, but factor cost in and I'd sooner pay a little more than a 24" 1080p monitor to have something I can sit back from and keep waiting for a good price on an ultrawide curved.

The Acer K2 Series LED-backlit monitors are available in six sizes and configurations ranging from 18" right up to 27" with screen resolutions from 1366 x 768 up to a stunning 2560 x 1440 WQHD*, paired with super-flexible connectivity options, including DVI, VGA and HDMI* inputs, guaranteeing, simple installation excellent detail no matter how big or small the job in hand. *K272HUL only
This is the K272HL, not K272HUL. :wink:

Never clever to try and be clever. Good advise. Suggest you take your own advise. Now if I hadn't checked several sources to find that it DID have HDMI I could be vulnerable to someone calling me out.... but I'm not trying to be clever, and make someone else look silly. At least...I'm not trying to be clever.

Or don't worry about things like PPI etc and just look at one to see if you like it or not.
You can have something with a ridiculous pixel density and it could have a horrible colour, poor viewing angles or anything else going on that might be OK for one person and not another.

Pixel density is super important for a computer display, something you'll be looking at text on.

22 Feb 16#25
For those on the fence about 1080p at 27 inches and above please take into account pixel density.
I'd say the max I'd go for 1080p would be a 22 inch display which will give you 100.13 PPI which isn't great when you consider the original iPhone was 164.83 PPI and that had a crap display.

Great monitor, picture quality is fantastic, straight out of the box and a simple screw together base that is reassuringly sturdy.
An excellent upgrade from my 1680x1050 monitor which is now my second, using a HDMI cable but may upgrade to a DVI in the future as monitor supports both.
Overall very pleased. May buy another as I can't stand looking at my old one!

It may have taken just 3 seconds, that's probably why you got it wrong. Never clever to try and be clever and to give wrong information.

Says HDMI on Acers website, that took me 3 seconds to Google.

24" more suitable @ 1080p above go 1440p or higher
Still a good deal
but you would be better of getting a 1080p monitor at a smaller size for under £100
