> 24 hourI bought this monitor in July 2018 and still use it to this day. The screen itself is really nice to look at for general use and gaming. The Freesync also worked well with my RTX 2070 Super despite it not being fully compatible and the monitor does run displayport at 144hz and HDMI at 120hz. However there are some things about it that I just dont like from this monitor. 1. I cant turn off the screen unless it is not in use. When I use this monitor with displayport, I have to switch it to HDMI, wait for it to get a no signal, then press the power button in order to turn it off. 2. The displayport port is giving me artifacting and causing the screen to glitch out. I have tried a different computer, 2 different cables, and messing about with the monitor itself but it continues to do this while I use displayport. Now Im currently using HDMI and that isnt giving me any problems. The second issue I have is probably just a problem with my monitor, but its not so bad that I would not recommend this monitor. I do think its a good monitor. Its just that these two things are the most bothersome to me which is why I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

> 24 hourI had been shopping and comparing features and qualities for a gaming monitor for about 6 months – I wanted: 27” to 32”, curved, 4K and hi-refresh rate – there are a few to compare and size up at those specs – once I understood the panel types (IPS, VA and TN), free-sync and all that, I knew what to look for and at what price – The monitors amazon carried, that I liked, are: a couple of MSI models, Acer, Sceptre, BenQ just to name a few – since this is my first BIG, late model gaming monitor, refresh rate was important – also quality and resolution – then price – here’s what I found: a lot of comparable features from known brands – and varied pricing – I decided not to go with 4K since refresh was nominal 60 hz and any faster was way expensive – so, I decided to go with 2K and 144 hz – once I carefully considered my space and proximity, 27” would be excellent (it’s actually huge) – so with that, I narrowed the field to Acer, Sceptre and MSI (specs and price) - Having read the reviews, all 3 were rated 4 stars by hundreds of buyers - The MSI models were not sold thru amazon prime and would take over a week to arrive, and they’re kinda pricy (rgb and other fancies) – the Sceptre was over $70 more than the Acer, with all the same specs – so, I chose the Acer ED273 – the most recent reviews said the Acer was a very good choice and I agreed that this has the best features and value – I was right! This is a great monitor, it was ready to play right out of the box and, overall, it has exceeded my expectations – Here’s a few things of interest: build quality, excellent - overall aesthetics: thin bezel, slim design (no big bulges), nice finish, flat matt screen, just right curve, excellent picture quality – the stand is heavy with a metal base and reinforced vertical post and mount (vesa 100) – My only gripe would be the separate power brick – but for the price, I’m OK with it – the port sockets are located center-back facing down – this makes it difficult to find and insert the video and power connectors – you’ll also get an HDMI and DP cable each – tried as I might, I couldn’t find any info on cable length (my desktop setup requires a longer cable, at least 6’), so instead of ordering a longer cable, I’d wait and see if the shipped cables would work – they didn’t – they are about 4’ long – a little short for me – so I used a 6’ HDMI cable I had laying around until I received an ordered 6’ DP cable from prime (about $10) – on HDMI the refresh is capped at 120 hz – with the DP cable I’m now using, refresh is the full 144 hz – So, overall, I’m very happy with the Acer ED273 – quality, features and price combine to make this an excellent buy – it comes packaged double boxed and incapsulated in foam, plastic film and protective cloth - 5 stars!

> 24 hourThis thing just feels cheaply made, my experience unboxing it was hearing what sound like a screw rattling around in the monitor. It works but this garbage isnt worth 300 bucks, it feels like it was made in a sweat shop in China.
