I was wondering how long it would take for someone to take a swipe at the resolution. Steal of a deal if you ask me, VA panel too so nice inky blacks. Its a lotta Monitor for £109.

I have always wondered. Nowadays TV's are dirt cheap, so why buy a monitor over a large TV?

Response time. Tv's are slow, much slower than monitors.

Because you're paying for something you don't need (tv tuner) and missing out on things you do need (monitor level performance)

On a decent monitor everything is better than a TV. Input response, resolution (if 1080p TV), image quality. I have a 42" 1080p LG TV, it's fine for the PS4 I have but I'd use a 34" 1440p monitor for connecting to the Mac Mini / XW6600 computers I have, I wouldn't think of using the TV.

Also reading text from a big tv screen is pretty tiring on the eyes.

TVs are also usually too bright to sit on your desk - you'd need sunglasses to sit 2 foot away from them or you'll start squinting.
The resolution is also poor for the size as well.

I will test that theory with a 4K 40-inch TV soon.

According to the reviews there is no HDMI

Yes I noticed that. But searching on the mfgs part number (UM.HW3EE.009) returns Acers webpage that states it does have HDMI:
There seems to be more than one 'K272HL' monitor. All with slightly differing part numbers. Could be a mistake on ebuyers part or they have simply got new stock (with HDMI).
