Wanted to upgrade my AOC 23" monitor with a larger screen to see easier. Went to the Best Buy website and saw this 27" monitor for $100 off. Read a few reviews and they were all great. So went to Best Buy and bought this. Set up was simple and the monitor is very light. One reviewer complained about having a power box that had to be plugged into instead of plugging directly into the outlet. Legitimate, but not a big problem. The screen does tilt, but is not height adjustable, I guess OK for a $149 monitor. My AOC monitor had controls on the base, very easy to accidentally activate. Very annoying. Not a problem with the ACER. And the ACER has an easily identifiable on/off switch which lights up noticeably when on. Not so on the AOC. Now the really important stuff. Let me start by saying I'm not a gamer, but for regular use, this is an excellent monitor. It may be excellent for gaming too for all I know. I was worried in going from a 23" screen to a 27" screen I might lose some sharpness. This screen is sharper than the smaller one. And the colors are great. I looked at some HD YouTube videos on it, full screen and they were great. So far no problems, love the monitor. There may be better ones out there with more features and possibly better resolutions, but not at this price and for my needs it's fantastic. I strongly recommend this monitor.
