​currently have 2 27 inch monitors on my desk and a 24 inch monitor, you desk game is weak bro

Not CRT, freezing cold!

27" is too big for 1080p. You'd want 1440p at that size.

Ok I'll bite, here are some points for you to dismiss:

1. Why am I only sat a few feet away from it? There are plenty of occasions when I like to sit back from my monitor if I'm playing a game with a controller or watching a video. You only need to sit 42" back for it to achieve the perceived 'retina' level of clarity. http://isthisretina.com/

And sure more lines of code, web pages etc... etc... are all good features. No one is debating the plain simple fact a higher resolution monitor is measurably superior. But those features aren't of benefit to all.

2. The text is not fuzzy, the pixels are digital. Up close you can see the pixels, sat back you can't. Someone with poor eyesight has no benefit to more pixels. As I said the pixels are drawn digitally, there is a clear edge from one pixel into the next, they don't become fuzzy because they are bigger. My parents used to use a 24" 1080p monitor with Windows scaling turned on. They're much happier with a big 1080p monitor, they would not tell the difference side by side of a 1440p and 1080p monitor unless they moved closer than they actually sit when using the device.


See the interesting thing is I'm not dismissing your point that a higher resolution is superior, Who would? It's quantifiably superior. But I am dismissing "27" is too big for 1080p. You'd want 1440p at that size." as a blanket statement. Plenty of people quite happily can use these size and definition devices, if they're not for you fine pay more for a better device, but you're wrong to unilaterally dismiss its functionality.

What an empty response. Contains no information or points, just a personal attack. Not surprising seeing as you don't know what you're talking about and you've been found out.

That was a long post when you could have written "I can't back down from a debate on the internet about something entirely subjective and that I am unwilling to accept comment from people with actual real world experience on as valid because it is contrary to my opinion"

I know that would also have been a slightly wordy post as well though.

That's a long post when you could just have written "I don't know what I'm talking about".

1. The difference between 1080p, 1440p and 4k is abundantly clear in computer monitors. We're not talking about 40" TVs from across a room, we're talking about monitors you're sat a few feet from. More pixels means more lines of code, more web pages, more impressive games.

2. 1080p at 27" just looks undefined. Text is a bit fuzzy and it hurts my eyes after a while. Someone with poor eyesight would be much better off buying a 1440p 27" monitor and using their OS's inbuilt scaling. Text will be crisper and easier to read. However at 27" 1440p you don't even need scaling, text is the perfect size.

27" is too big for 1080p. You'd want 1440p at that size.

These arguments are pointless - it's been OOS since last night!

Ignore this comment he's talking nonsense. It will be fine for Xbox one considering the Xbox one runs at 60fps you don't need any special monitor to prevent screen tearing.

Hi my son is after a something like this for gaming (XBox One) is it any good?

And no you don't need such a high spec monitor to game without tearing on a console where you'd be lucky to even get a rock solid 60fps. And also, did it not occur to you that consoles do not even support freesync?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. You're expecting 4K/144Hz at this price point? If that's what you're trying to imply, are you feeling okay in the head m8?

If it had a headphone out, I'd have nabbed one.

1440p on a 27" is more ideal. had a similar model and it looked pixelated.

Out of stock

Based on what exactly?

I don't know why people put down offers when they are good deals for other people ?

If it's not the right hz it's the ms !! If it's not the ms it's the resolution !! If it's not the resolution it's the screen size !! Too many fussy people. Heat to the op for finding it,

How is their return and warranty policy?

​I had the opposite experience. The text was so big on 27 inch monitor that I looked like someone with eye problem(long sighted /short sighted) . Moving on to smaller screen solved the problem. I now use that 27 inch as a small TV. Would have bought this if it was 4k with hdmi 2.0 and displayport.

​1080p looks fuzzy on big size monitor. Though the price is ok, I wish this monitor was 4k with 144 hz.

being blind as a bat and having to be sitting right in front of a monitor would a 27" with 1080p really make a difference? currently I have two monitors one ips 24" 1080p running nicely and another monitor that has poor resolution and colors are terrible on it.

If we're talking resolution isn't it low for the screen size? I had an ancient 19" Syncmaster CRT from 2002 did 1600x1200 in 4:3 aspect...and most other decent CRTs from that era were the same!

Good for PS4/Xbox One I reckon.

Use it for gaming , no issues

Great Monitor , I have one of them, nice picture

Wonder if this is ok for playing dota 2? Short description says 4 ms but full spec says 6 ms?

Only 1080p resolution. No hdmi 2.0 and displayport

Nope, but try dual screening if your looking for another screen. I have 3x 22" monitors, very cheap to setup but great for workflow.

Well done on having a big desk :sunglasses:

100% nope.

No VESA no buy

I currently have this THIS

Is it worth upgrading ?

I'd stay away from Acer personally, their customer service is atrocious!

​currently have 2 27 inch monitors on my desk and a 24 inch monitor, you desk game is weak bro

Not CRT, freezing cold!

Wish it was VESA mountable but even so cheap as chips for ips and this size. Of course I'm sure people will comment that 27" is too big for 1080p blah blah but each to their own.

is this any good? it always seems to be a daily deal. currently using a 24" Samsung TV as a monitor

​
I would hardly call it a drive, plenty of 4k screens for example on offer on smaller displays.

bice price, voted hot but no vesa for me is a showstopper

Glossy black bezel . why oh why oh why
