Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great clarity, great value. Recommended.

My first unit had a backlight defect but I received a replacement and it's working great. Both monitors were dead-pixel-free and this second one is perfect. I'm very happy with it now. Would recommend. I'm using a 2014 Macbook Pro 15" with a mini...

Panel is very clear 4k works no problem Default settings are good for me Very good viewable angle Best Acer-brand monitor I've ever used

Bezel is a little deep and the reflectiveness of it makes it a little strange for me but it's not that big of a problem. I'd still get another for the price.

Great clarity but terrible backlight leaking on right side

For the money it's great, especially if you don't care about things like poor backlight design, but on a black desktop or image, the backlight leak is the worst I've ever seen on any monitor in my life. It makes me want to put a piece of black tape...

Great Monitor for Great Value (Mac Users may need adapters to get max resolution)

I'm using this with a 2012 Macbook Pro Retina. The trick with this is, the HDMI output on my laptop can handle only 1080p. So, to get the maximum resolution of the monitor, I needed a Thunderbolt to DisplayPort adapter (I found a high quality cable...

stylish, well made, great picture

Just what I've been waiting for!

Totally recommend it, unless you want a monitor with speakers that work.

Totally awesome retina monitor for $280!

I didn't notice it has speakers, and then I was like, oh cool, but I can't get them to work anyway. Tried like 5 different cables and sources.

Best display for the price

IPS Very Bright and Colorful Pixel Density No Dead Pixels Responsive $279 for a 4k!

A tad small, but not bad for 24" If using a 2k and 4k monitor on the same setup, scaling becomes an issue - especially in browsers.

Acer CB240HYK 23.8" LED LCD Monitor - 16:9 - 6 ms

I bought two of these monitors and when set at 4k@60 Hz, one of them would flicker every couple minutes and the other would do so every hour or two. I swapped the included DisplayPort cables out for certified 3m DP cables and haven't had any trouble...

4k monitor Can do 4k@60 Hz over DisplayPort Nearly perfect color calibration right out of the box Includes one 2m cable for each connector (HDMI, DVI-D & DP) The stand allows a wide range of positions and is quite stable

The included DP cables were insufficient to drive the monitors at 60 Hz. It took a couple days of work to convince Windows not reorganize the windows when the monitors were turned off.
