Nitro by Acer 27 Full HD 1920 x 1080 1500R Curve PC Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | 165Hz Refresh | 1ms (VRB) | ZeroFrame Design | 1 x Display Port 1.4 & 2 x HDMI 2.0 Ports ED270R Mbmiiphx

The picture quality, brightness, refresh, etc are all fine, especially for the value. The problem, however, is with the input switching and OSD. One of the main reasons to choose this monitor is support for 2x DisplayPort + 2x HDMI inputs, which is very hard to find. Unfortunately, the implementation of the single-button menu and input display switching is absolutely terrible, and the OSD (on-screen-display) simply doesnt work when the input is not detected. There is only a single button to press with this monitor: you can press it, or press it directionally to navigate the OSD. This means that the possible inputs are very limited. Bottom line: good monitor for the value, IF you dont plan to use multiple inputs. Multiple input switching implementation is extremely frustrating to use on a daily basis. After using this monitor for about a month, Im strongly considering writing it off and getting something from a different brand instead. I had planned to use a dual-displayport setup (which is why I selected this monitor) but its too frustrating of a price to pay for that limited benefit. Problems: 1. The monitor sometimes fails to detect the input signal when switching inputs. Then, it switches off / goes to sleep, so the OSD is not available to fix the settings. Pressing the button to wake it does not usually recover, instead usually have to unplug/plug cables. 2. The one-button input means there is no convenient button or other dedicated method to switch between inputs. It requires a minimum of 5-8 button presses to switch inputs, depending on which inputs you are switching between. 3. You cant reliably switch between inputs unless BOTH input sources (the one youre switching from, and the one youre switching to) are on, AND its able to detect the signal from both sources (else it will go to sleep). This means its not actually possible to change inputs when one of the source computers is off, without unplugging/plugging cables. 4. The input signal detection seems to be flakey when routing the input signal through docking ports, such as MacBook Pro + CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt dock. Other monitors Ive used dont have this problem. This monitor sometimes fails to detect the signal, and goes into a continuous wakeup/sleep loop. The only solution is to actually unplug the cable. Soft-restarting the monitor doesnt work. 5. The auto-source setting is completely unreliable. 6. When the monitor is asleep, you cant wake it up and get the OSD up to switch inputs. You have to have a detected input signal active to get any OSD at all. 7. The input switching seems to work even less reliably when selecting a refresh rate > 60Hz. System details: - this monitor - input 1 (DisplayPort): Macbook Pro connected to CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt dock - input 2 (HDMI): Windows 10 PC + nVidia GTX1660Ti - using high-quality DP and HDMI cables from reputable brands, rated for the correct resolution and bandwidth

This monitor will only display at 240hz if you are using a display port

It is a bit big and you can adjust the height by just simply pushing down or pulling up

I 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!

This monitor was not the right one for my system. I did not get to check out the quality

This 144hz VA 1920x1080 monitor is great for everything a gamer and productivity user would need. The colors are great, the angles are okay, and the build of the monitor just is the icing on the cake. This monitor measures in at 2 feet long and 1 1/2 feet tall, it has great port selection that includes, HDMI2.0, DVI, and Display Port along with a audio jack. The curv on the monitor can really only be noticed when your first get the monitor. The bezels *end of LCD basically* measure in at around 4mm on the top and sides. The monitors bottom bezel is this amazing flat black with a silver acer logo, but the back is plastic. This monitor supports a vesa mount and comes with a nice but slightly disappointing stand. Id recommend this monitor for sure! The only downsides i see to my monitor is this slight goasting effect on the edges of the display. PS if your stuck on a TN or VA screen get a VA screen. TN has terrible viewing angles as bad as some phones i had in the early 2000s. **2018 update** I have been using this monitor for almost a full year now and i have to say its one of the best monitors i have owned, there are some gripes i have with the display panel itself and some weird ui and software limitations i dislike but truthfully overall this monitor is an amazing purchase for those of you on a budget. The downsides of this monitor are limited but they still are noticeable things such as light bleed around the edges and yellowing to the right side of the display. The glossy plastic on the back of the display is just a fingerprint magnet and scratches easier then anything i have.

This may not have the most advanced display, but for what it is, its amazing! Loving it so far. Ive had no problems whatsoever

The graphics on this monitor are amazing!
