acer H276HL bmid 27-Inch (1920 x 1080) IPS Widescreen Monitor

What a great monitor! I was looking for a more modern replacement for my old desktop monitor that refused to light up. Wanted to consolidate two smaller monitors into one larger one. The brightness is excellent, white is the proper color and it has great contrast. I use it for multiple tasks, programming, reading blogs and watching movies. It does them all with excellent results. No flickering, no funny stuff. Just perfect picture. I'm using an Nvidia GT 620 card and it easily supports full resolution at full frame rates. When you read reviews that say the anti-aliasing is bad or that moving video is blocky, realize they are complaining about their video card and projecting it's faults onto the monitor. This monitor is fully capable of state of the art applications, every day gaming and High Definition movie use. I see previous reviews commenting on the flimsy base or that it doesn't sit level. Mine has none of those problems. It is both stable and sits perfectly level. The tip mechanism isn't hard to move, but it doesn't move by itself. Just perfect in my opinion. I can't write about the internal speakers because I have not hooked them up, but you can't expect big system sound from tiny speakers built into a monitor so if that's what you're looking for, get some real speakers. As far as this monitor being borderless, the measured distance from the edge of the display to the edge of the display area is 7/16" on both sides and the top.

I have a dual monitor setup attached to a Mac Mini. Since I moved into an office with big bright windows and white walls, the amount of ambient light in the room meant small text on my old AOC 24 inch monitors could be hard to read. I purchased this Acer model H276L and a more expensive ($415) ASUS PB278Q 27-Inch, which does 2560 x 1440 and uses a slightly different technology PLS. I found side by side I preferred this Acer for the detail and sharpness. The is bright. The glossy screen does have some reflective issues but overall a huge improvement over the AOC in terms of readability. I have not seen any of the bleeding around the edges that Amazon warns about IPS monitors. I like the minimalist frame design. CONS. One thing I DID like better on the ASUS was the adjustable height. The Acer has no adjustment. And the Acer has no labels for the control buttons. Note on resolution: I had considered the more expensive ASUS primarily because it handles 2560 x 1440 resolution, but the Mac Mini can only drive one monitor at that resolution (using a MiniDisplayPort to Displayport cable); the other HDMI output is limited to 1920 x1080 so I would have had two monitors running different resolutions and that does not make sense for me. Acer does have a 2560 x 1440 model the Acer K272HUL if that is what you seek.

I got two of these suckers. They are BEAUTIFUL. It is so hard to find gloss screen monitors now a days. I upgraded from two 23in monitors. The H276HL has much sharper and crisper colors than my older ones, they're much bigger, and gaming on them is a dream! Setup was cake. The stands are minimal, but actually really sturdy compared to other monitor stands out there. The monitors themselves are extremely lightweight, and very thin! These are my first ACER monitors, and so far, I love them! The reason I only give 4 stars is they aren't VESA compatible. I wasted money on a VESA stand and adapter mounts to mount these, and they just wouldn't sit right. They also can't be adjusted vertically (to my knowledge). Haven't had a single issue with viewing angles yet, and haven't noticed any ghosting in games or movies. My last monitors were really bad with that.

I looked descriptions and reviews for 27 inch monitors and I ordered this monitor to pair up with my Dell computer to do some work from home and general internet searches. I am not an expert my any means, but I must say it is a very nice monitor. I am using it with a HDMI connection and the picture is crisp and clear. I do not game so I cannot speak to gaming performance but it will work well for general use and office use. I watched some video from Netflix and was satisfied with the picture. The monitor was packed well, it arrived on time, and set up was easy. I was up and running in 10 minutes.

Bought this having low expectations for 1080P at 27". I also didn't expect the best since I have had problems with acer before. However, I was (and still am) blown away by this monitor. I am sure it is far from the best of the best, but this is easily the best screen purchase I have ever made. The colors look phenomenal and the resolution looks no where near pixelated like I expected. It does have a bezel but is half an inch if that, and will look GREAT when I get my other two monitors for 3-way surround. I haven't tried the included speakers, and wont because I have a surround sound system. Overall very happy and very surprised. This is one monitor that I will not be sending back and will definitely use them in my surround set up. UPDATE: After nearly a years worth of use, I have grown to absolutely hate this monitor. The size is great, I love 1080p at 27", The problem is that this thing has a terrible ghosting issue that is extremely noticeable and is only getting worse. As soon as I can, I am replacing this monitor. Please do not waste your money on this thing.

Super!!

Clearest monitor I have ever used

This is a very nice product. The picture is good. The only problem is, it isn't mountable. I purchased a desk mount for it and it was no good to me.
