    This is my second time owning this monitor, prior to this one i had the 24″. It’s a fantastic monitor for people new to gaming. The quality is good and i never have any problems. If you are new to gaming and not looking to spend a ton of money, i would definitely reccomend this monitor to you.

    Runs pretty much every game you need it to at good quality. Sound is quite good but not great. Very easy to set up. For this price it’s worth.

    Bought this for gaming with my Xbox series x, it runs perfect together, the picture is impeccable and the game play is on point! The hdr setting stands it out above the other settings but over all very happy with this!

    This monitor is outstanding!
    Mainly brought for the PS5 and I can honestly say, this is one of the best out there in terms of graphics, fluidity etc..

    If you are looking for a brilliant budget monitor just below the high ranking monitors, do not hesitate to get this monitor.

    Purchased on offer at 239 with prime, very happy with my purchase for use on PS5. Box was fully sealed and intact and all packaging was undamaged and complete.No issue at all with monitor as i had done my reseach so knew what i was buying, somebody mentioned the vesa mount screws did not come with it and that is correct as neither did mine which seems odd but the box had 100% not been opened.
    Works well with the PS5 lots of settings to play with and the supplied mount is fine with no issues, again people saying unsteady.. no issues with mine so make sure you click it in correctly.

    4K UHD, 60hz, HDR, VRR (AMD FreeSync), 2x HDMI 2.0 Ports, 1x Display Port and built-in speackers for 250, don’t mind if I do. This is a fairly cheap and cheerful monitor that does what it says on the tin. Of course Iyour missing out on some of the more expensive features like 120hz, HDMI 2.1 Etc… But what you are getting is something that does the job and doesn’t break the bank.

    The monitor is easy to setup, the image is bright, sharp and chrisp and can be adjusted using the buttons on the back right side of the monitor. Also the speackers are of fairly decent quality too. Using for gaming with a Series X and do not regret purchasing this monitor at all, for me as a casual gamer it suits me perfectly but if your more pro level you might want to look elsewhere at more top spec monitors.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersFor son’s gaming requirements at uni “it has to be the 4k one dad”. Great monitor, 2xhdmi and 1xdp input is just what we needed, a remote control would be nice as swapping inputs when more than one is “on” is a bit of a pain but all round a great monito

    So far it looks amazing. The sound is really good aswell. My only slight flaw is how dark it was even at max settings there was something else I had to press to get it up higher but apart from that it’s amazing

    This screen is amazing for home working. I was lucky to get it at a decent price of 150. The brightness is amazing and the image quality is sharp and crisp. The only thing I would probably say which is not perfect is its stand. The stand is not height adjustable which would have come in handy for me but its great monitor overall.

    Really Value this addition to my life

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis has replaced 3 1080p monitors in my office. I feel the jump from to this 4k monitor is about as good as the jump from using a single monitor to dual

    Very pleased with this monitor which is exceptional value for a UHD monitor.

    OK the stand feels cheap and plasticky but it works and for the price one cannot complai

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersVery colour accurate out of the box which is fantastic for a gaming monitor. Bright, sharp and detailed.

    The standard mode does a very good job with DCI-P3 colour space, but limiting it to sRGB is also an option which works a lot better for Windows desktop and gaming.

    Loses a star as the overdrive setting is always locked no matter what the preset, indicating that I received a unit with older firmware that cannot be updated.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersDisplay performance is pretty good when not turning on HDR on my PS5 and MacBook Pro(both 4K 60Hz).
    But since it’s just HDR10, when I turn on the HDR switch on both of them, the image turns unnatural(kinda too white and colour faults may shows up)… If you want a good HDR display, this may not be your option. However, it looks pretty good when you turn off HDR!
    Btw, if you turn off the HDR option in you console or PC but switch the monitor to HDR mode, it looks even better!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersFirst, the cons:
    * the speakers are *awful* – they’ll do in an emergency, but the sound they produce is really thin and tinny
    * controls are awkwardly placed and a bit fiddly to operate without touching the screen
    * peak brightness isn’t mind-blowing
    * small amount of light bleeding in the bottom centre of the screen

    Now, the pros:
    * picture is sharp and colours are excellent
    * FreeSync works fine with my Xbox Series S, and GSync seems to work OK with my laptop

    Overall, for a budget entry into 4K and HDR this is a pretty good choice; although it’s not going to blow you away compared to a QLED display it’s definitely a step up from my old 2K/SDR monitor – blacks are pretty black, and while it’s not *super* bright it’s still good enough for close range. Assembly is pretty straightforward (the instructions for assembling the stand are missing information on how to actually connect the stand to the monitor, and it was a little stiff so I was afraid I was doing it wrong and something was going to snap), setup was also simple (although every time I use the controls I’m worried I’m going to get a big smudgy fingerprint on the screen), and while the built in speakers are terrible it’s handy to be able to connect my desktop speakers to the headphone socket so I don’t have to keep manually swapping the cables when I switch between the three devices I have plugged in.

    This monitor for the money you pay has to be one of the best 4k monitors you can buy…yes it’s not got 120hz but then again it’s not costing you over a thousand pounds either…. brilliant for series x …a must buy

    Golden Review Award: 67 From Our Users*Update: The monitor continues to serve me well one year later. My PS5 recognises the monitor as a valid 4K HDR output- success! (Yes I admit, without the monitor’s HDR setting turned on the colours do wash out and require calibration).

    I scoured the internet for a monitor that would meet my particular needs for both gaming and content enjoyment, all without being a mammoth TV. Few 4K 120fps monitors exist in the market, most are QHD with high refresh rates. For a PC gamer, the choice is simple. Pushing 4K gaming is rare so higher refresh rates tend to be a natural choice. However, as a console, not a PC gamer, I wanted a display to show as many frames as possible at 4K resolution while still being 27inch to use with my laptop. I settled for this monitor from Acer and after much worry, find relief in giving this a full thumbs up. Few monitors match this value; IPS display, 4K resolution, slim bezels, entry-level HDR, HDMI 2.0, AMD free sync, VESA mount and menu features. All is not perfect but for the price paid, I happily accept the fine sacrifices.

    The monitor features a strong gaming design. The box arrives with a power cord, monitor and stand legs. I appreciate the sharp gaming look to the stand but immediately you will notice the stand is flimsy and featureless, unable to tilt in any direction. Fortunately, the monitor is saved by the VESA mount compatibility, four holes are provided to the back middle for easy mounting. The monitor maintains good looks through its bezel-less design, at least when it is turned off, for a wide cinematic experience.

    Beyond the looks, the monitor from a technical standpoint offers essential features for display minus the luxuries of a full package. Straightaway many would point out the many deficiencies like having no USB-C ports or USB ports for that matter, only one DisplayPort and two HDMI ports. Yet, when avoiding stretching into TV territory, this monitor delivers the core necessities. This monitor comes with two speakers, not great quality but still provided and enough for ordinary use. The DisplayPort is also 1.4 and both HDMI ports are 2.0, meaning you can push 4K 60fps comfortably through each port. Moreover, the HDMI port seems HDCP 2.2. compliant. My Amazon 4K Fire Stick, to great relief, successfully streams 4K HDR content to this display. At this price, I feel little regret missing out on HDMI 2.1. The integration still lags and is far too expensive in high-ended monitors. When most content reaches a maximum of 4K60, the price difference for more holds minimal value. I also easily overcame the limited HDMI ports given by using a display switch.

    4K resolution being the central feature of this monitor for this price, and an average consumer fulfils expectations without pulling off anything fancy. The IPS screen is matt, providing a glare-free viewing angle during the day. The value of the display has surprised me. Content looks sharp, possessing good detail and vibrancy. I am astounded by the colour pop, I can notice rich colours and granular detail, all the whilst picture staying smooth. My expectations for this 4K quality were low and this monitor exceeds them. There are 8 preset display settings to use from, such as gaming selections, standard, eco, graphics and HDR. Of course, they are all alterable and resettable. I noticed little difference between the modes, the most noticeable difference being the brightness changes and blue light option. However, to much surprise, the HDR setting has brought a difference to the display. The HDR may not be TV quality or meet professional standards but for me, the colours look bolder, blacks look deeper and the overall screen appearing significantly brighter. Strangely, when viewing content through Amazon 4K stick on this monitor, the standard-setting offers a cold picture where blacks are washed out and colours faded. The HDR setting thus becomes the means to sometimes ‘correct’ the picture with greater colour and brightness. It is crucial to emphasise, I have not faced this issue with other connected devices on this monitor such as my laptop or PS4. I cannot professionally measure response times with this monitor, all I say for now is that I not noticed any input/frame delays or screen tearing. My input does not feel any slower, from playing explosive action games to fast-paced sports and shooters.

    The minor drawback, as loudly stated by others, is perhaps the bezels. When switched off, the screen promises a bezel-less experience but once turned on, a black border appears. Personally, the border does not defeat the value of this monitor, during use I frequently forget this exists and continue enjoying the large, wide viewing experience.

    In all, this monitor from Acer, priced at 300 holds exceptional value for those looking for a core means to enjoy 4K content and regular computing. The monitor sports a cool gaming aesthetic and pack essential features like HDMI 2.0, speakers and VESA mounting for a completed package. After the 4K feature, the screen is matt, wide and limited bezels. The final picture hangs on, offering detail, colour and smoothness for appreciating the resolution.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersHad a few monitors, trying to find the best for the next gen Consoles (series x and ps5) . This is the best I’ve tried so far. Yes it doesn’t run 120fps like some, but I’d take the gorgeous 4k at 60fps any day. Sound is an added bonus and very decent indeed. Had more expensive monitors but this is a keeper until 4k at 120fps become a thing.
