Acer EB321HQ Awi 32 Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Monitor (HDMI & VGA port),White

I was considering two 27 HDMI monitors, but decided on one 32 for my needs. I really wanted a monitor that had a good brightness level, which can be lower on more gaming focused monitors depending on the screen technology.. My fundamental need was to display multiple windows which it does fine, and is a great boost to productivity versus flipping between screens. The Picture in picture is one of the features I really wanted. I can display up to two concurrent windows, with a choice of 5 locations. The display is crisp, and fine for my eyes. The color rendition is good, Ive seen better, especially on some 4k screens, but it is not disappointing, and the colors seem reasonably saturated, and are fine for Photography. But there are some that are much better, check out some of the Viewsonic, and Philips displays. As I noted the brightness is however good for a large display. The feature that really swung the Acer display was the PIP function, I could not find this feature on any monitor at this time for less than $300/ up. This allows me to run a development system and operate side by side of PIP modes to use both systems. This is really awesome. The Acer has three inputs to select from - one Display Port, an HDMI, and one DVI. I run the Windows 10 Laptop into the DVI, and a Raspberry Pi into the HDMI and the Mac into the display port input. I run the Mac at QHD which it performs flawlessly. The Linux (Pi) runs on HDMI at similar resolution, and the lap top in a Window at same res as the local display. I have an external keyboard switch to share the keyboard and mouse between the Mac and the Pi. This all works very well. The only clunky bit is the hidden controls and on screen display on the Acer, thats meh. I have also used the screen with my old Apple TV, which is nice when you are working sometimes. I wish there were a few more PIP options, but the basics are well covered. I also have headphones connected to the display and can listen to music etc at night without waking up the family. There are no on-board speakers however. That would be my one add in a perfect world. This screen does have a VESA MOUNT! I have this hung off a nice wall mount which frees up more desk space and is easy to adjust to suitable viewing. This is something that a lot of models do not support in the value end of the market. In my experience with a super large screen this is a must have. I would not buy a monitor without this feature. The enclosed stand is very nice finished, but I have not used it, so no further comment on that. Obviously all the inputs work, and features. Also the monitor plays nice with the Mac (a 2011 Mac Mini Server) and Windows 10. It also works fine with the Pi, which makes for a really nice little Linux system BYTW. So top marks for compatibility. Oh, and yes it works with the Apple TV Gen 3. The picture is a little low res though, so not the coolest, I would use a more current model for serious viewing. I did not use the supplied cables, I purchased these nice nylon covered cables from Amazon - Ivanky. They work well, and feed through the mount nicely. On size, I think you could go up to about 40 on the desktop, but it may become tiresome to use. I find 32 works fine for my needs. Two 27 would have the usual line down the middle, so I dont think the extra space would be as useable, or at least as flexible. I have definitely seen a productivity improvement with the large screen, and work is more relaxed by not having to keep switching screens all the time. The Mac multiple desktop is really great here for organizing your work flow. Acer get some whacks here for reliability. No observation to share at this time. Will report back if that situation changes. There were no stuck or missing pixels at all. Thumbs up to Acer on that. Build quality, mine is nicely put together, and I really like as noted the traditional power chord and VESA mount. Not having another power pack hanging out on the desk or the floor is nice. Screen uniformity of color etc, very, very good. The camera picture is poorer than the actual experience. The panel is rated for wide angle use and that is 100% the case in use. This is good when we are discussing something on the computer, so you can display and share. That might however, be an issue in some office environments - FYI. In summary... 1. Some great features that are not competitively available in this price range 2. Good quality QHD display with a good brightness 3. Screen controls - meh 4. VESA mount 5. No wall wart, plugs into the standard 110v wall socket! 6. Nice range of digital video inputs, would have loved an additional HDMI (ie 4 inputs) 7. Headphone socket 8. Good price, and good value to price The cons: 1. Its not the best choice for hard core gaming - but then you already know that, so why are you looking! 2. No speakers 3. On screen controls are not the greatest Ux. Overall great business/engineering display. Not the best for photography, and lower performance end of the spectrum for gaming. Recommended for the Office type user. Supports local presentation capability due to size.

I am a graphic designer, and do a lot of gaming. This monitor is aces all around. It is light, and have a very thin bezel and depth to it. I cant say anything bad about it. I genuinely love this monitor, and plan to buy another for a dual monitor setup.

This is 75% glossy with 25% matte coating. I dont use matte monitor for my eye fatigue problem. If you look for sharper images, this is absolutely recommended. Colors are natural. Design is good! stand is a sturdy, 100% metal. Well made for $159.

I ordered one of these and it came with a defective region resembling a line crack, which I could do nothing about as it was beneath the screen and it would not produce any image. Sent it back for a replacement... the replacement had multiple dead pixels. I said well its not that bad and I cant get another replacement anyway, so I stuck with it. The monitor basically died within 6 months; it became immensely white/bright regardless of settings. Acer support said the only way to do anything was to send it in, but I could not since I have no back-up monitor. They refused any other service, so I am saying goodbye to Acer forever. They apparently have no quality control for their monitors anyway. Dead or lost pixels on multiple brand new units? No thanks. No refund or at-home repair for a product that broke within 6 months and has a 3-year warranty? No thanks.

It really helps with the graphics work I do. Yes, a bit of bleed can be seen on the left and right edges on a full white screen. I believe that is the nature of flat screens when they get this large and are viewed from close up. Probably why gamers buy the curved screen. I like this monitor a lot.

this took some work to get right. DVI and HDMI didnt work, only DisplayPort. for some reason it wanted to set the active signal resolution to 2880x1620 while the desktop resolution was 2560x1440, which of course looks terrible. i had to go to advanced display settings, set it to 1080p, then reset it to 2560x1440 and now its sharp and clear.

Good product! Good price! I have never used such big screen monitor before. Very good experience.

Picture quality is great and size is nice but the monitor has a huge issue. It cannot be turned back on after turning it off: whether it’s computer sleep mode, or pressing power switch, plugged in to computer or not, once the monitor has been off for a while, it Cannot be turned back on Without unplugging the power cord from outlet for several seconds! Tried different ways to troubleshoot and cannot solve the problem. Extremely annoying and dangerous that the cord must be pulled in and out of the outlet to trigger the monitor to be back on. This is the strangest behavior I have ever encountered with any monitors and I work in tech.

and the display is very nice. I didnt realize it was white, but my son doesnt seem to mind.

As I enter another decade of life, my eyes definitely are showing wear. My strategy has been to buy new monitors with progressively larger screens. This monitor definitely improved my outlook on life with its 32 full HD specs. The images are bright and crisp and the scripts are definitely easier to read than my old 26 Hanns-G. Set up took less than 5 minutes from unpacking to power on. So far, I love this new monitor.
