acerKB272 EBI 27" IPS Full HD (1920 x 1080) Zero-Frame Gaming Office Monitor | AMD FreeSync Technology | Up to 100Hz Refresh | 1ms (VRB) | Low Blue Light | Tilt | HDMI & VGA Ports,Black

These reviews are mixed together; I have the 27" IPS 100hz version. I use the HDMI (digital) port for connection, but it's nice that this monitor also has a VGA (analog) input option as VGA is a past standard for older computers. To my eyes the brightness and colors are great right out of the box, and the picture is very clear. I don't play fast-action video games, so I can't comment on how well it works for those. But for text, spreadsheets, and normal web browsing (including YouTube) this works very well.Positives:IPS (for me) is preferable to VA type monitors. It's a small difference but if you are picky, here's IPS.The border is very thin, thus you've got maximum usable screen space with almost no waste.The price was incredible at $120. I see that it's now $160 and I think still a good value there.Great picture right out of the box.VESA wall (or arm) mountable.Choice of HDMI or VGA input.Looks good with the power on or off.Potential negatives (for some people):Provided base is very wide at the bottom, and possibly difficult to attach to monitor. I tried briefly to attach the screen to the base, instructions say something about turning it to attach securely - I couldn't figure out how to attach it securely. This didn't matter to me because I planned to use a "monitor arm" (I have one from MOUNTUP) and that works great on my computer desk which is about 1" thick. But if you want to use the included base, I'm not sure how to attach it securely, and I might ding it a star for that.The AC to DC power convertor (aka power supply) is inside the monitor, which gives it an elegant look vs. a separate power supply. However, if the power supply dies, good luck replacing it. At the price paid this is ok, and might even be preferable for some people.The power cord and connections to the computer (HDMI or VGA) attach upward from the bottom, rather than straight into the back. Again this looks more elegant but I would prefer straight into the back, as that is easier to attach. You might need to do some fumbling around before you get it all connected.The monitor is adjustable for brightness, colors, on/off etc. from the back of the unit on the right side. These are easily reached by "feel" once you know where they are, and which is which. One of the switches starts an on-screen "menu" that you can navigate. I made it appear but haven't tried to adjust it. This is probably how all monitors adjust now, but I preferred the old days when monitors had 5 or so physical switches on the front or bottom edge, so you could change brightness, color hue, etc. Of course those monitors were also much more expensive than today's monitors, for a smaller picture that wasn't as good as today's. Just saying that if you want to change the settings, it may take some fumbling to get the hang of it.It doesn't have the pixel density of more expensive monitors, but for my use I don't need it the higher density. To me the picture and text looks really good from where I sit, which is about 2 feet away.Overall this is fantastic for my uses as a VESA-mounted non-gaming monitor, and incredible at the price I paid. The only frustration I can imagine is if you use the included base/stand and can't figure out how to secure it to the screen (there must be a way, I would think, but I didn't try very hard since I was going to use an external "arm" mount anyway). Or if you do fast-action gaming, maybe it's not as good as some, but I have no idea about that.

Great price and great product

I’m extremely impressed with the Acer KB272 EBI 27" IPS Full HD monitor! The picture quality is absolutely stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details thanks to the IPS panel. Watching movies, playing games, and working on design projects have all been a joy with this monitor. The 27-inch screen size is perfect for multitasking and gives me plenty of room to work without feeling cramped.The setup was simple, and I appreciate the slim, modern design that fits seamlessly into my workspace. The viewing angles are fantastic, and I’ve noticed no color distortion from different angles. Overall, this monitor offers incredible value for the price, combining excellent performance with sleek aesthetics. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, affordable display!

Great monitor, it has a good picture quality and is light weight and amazing value

Great monitor especially for a second, third monitor only downside is that it doesn't have audio output

First thing I noticed right away after setting this up was that compared to my older 24" Acer monitor, this one is considerably brighter and the image is considerably clearer. As for gaming, I only do flight sims so I don't think the speed of the monitor is as critical for that as it may be for some other games. But this one did not give me a hit on FPS like a higher resolution monitor would, while it is still a bigger and clearer view. I paid $120 a few days ago and I think it's more than worth that price, however I see today it's down to $99. Seems like a good deal, and at that price I'd buy another except I already have a two monitor setup and no room to add a 3rd.Setup was easy. I'm no expert on these things so I always have a lot of anxiety ahead of time and worry there will be problems I can't work out. Not so here. Followed simple instructions, plugged it in, turned on the monitor then the computer, and the screen lit up with a perfect picture. There are options for a few adjustments and the on screen prompts make them easy to use if you feel you need to fine tune it for your situation.Now, for the base attachment that so many are complaining about... I think maybe Acer has fixed this problem now and this one was from new stock. There was no need to force anything. The base simply slides into the receptacle on the back of the monitor and clicks to lock it in place. Removing it is easy as well by pushing the release button and sliding it out. I'd recommend laying the monitor face down (on a soft surface of course) where there is good light and examining how the attachment works before putting it together. It's pretty easy to see, and the only thing you need to do is make sure you line it up right to slice it in until it clicks. If you line it up right first it doesn't take hardly any pressure at all. So take a few seconds to study it first and you won't have a problem, at least not if the one you get is the same design that they sent to me.

I bought this for work, I wanted a second screen for my computer. Picture quality an brightness are good. I have had over one year without any problems. I really don't use the sound but has been good when we have zoom meetings. This has worked well for me.. not heavy to set up.

I love having this as my chat channel on twitch thank you for a quality product worth mentioning
