Overall Review: good
Pros:
Big.
Nice and clear.
Acceptable color reproduction.
No dead pixels.
Cons:
Kinda flimsy.
Cheesy stand (which doesn't matter because I'm using a wall mount)
Overall Review: It works so far. Cheapest 1440 monitor with VESA.
Pros:
1. No dead pixels
2. Very sharp detail
3. Bright images
4. Controls are easy to reach
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: I replaced a 27" inch 1080p LCD TV with this monitor. I primarily use my monitors for studying which requires clear text. My labs are so much easier to understand now. The jump from 1080 to 1440 is better than expected. Really pleased with my purchase thus far that I purchased another Acer 27" 2560x1440 monitor to replace my old Dell 22" inch monitor.
Pros: Great color reproduction for video, lots of real estate for work. Plug 'n play setup, no hassle.
Overall Review: Recommend.
Pros: Bright, crisp at optimal resolutions. Easy to set up. Not heavy, but not flimsy. I get equally good results on Displayport and on HDMI inputs. I like the side-mounted ports - I get tired of straining my neck looking at bottom-mounted ports on monitors. The 2K resolution at this screen size is, in my opinion, a good compromise for desktop space vs. size of images/text.
Cons: Sturdy metal stand, but not the most steady mounting configuration - the monitor can wobble a little if the desk/table is bumped (that might be nitpicking, I don't know). The user guide is inadequate for explaining the OSD menu, and online documentation is not much better. I wish there was a dedicated input switching button, as I have this monitor hooked up to two different computers.
Overall Review:
I haven't used this monitor for more than a couple of weeks, but overall, I like it, and I would recommend it, especially for the Black Friday price that I paid. I can't speak to reliability, but text is clearer on this than other monitors I've used. The color is good for what I do, as is the refresh rate. The downside is that my work monitors look really small now.
This is a simple, no frills monitor and if you use the recommended display settings, it performs well. The OSD menu is awkward, but I haven't found a monitor yet that's much better.
Pros: IPS panel, so color stays accurate despite viewing angle. Large but still sleek design. Looks nice on my desk. Easy to set up.
Cons: No built-in speakers, which was disappointing! The refresh rate is low for this size monitor/resolution but great for someone with a lower budget like me and definitely still looks nice!
Overall Review: I would recommend this if you're on a budget but would still like an upgrade. Be aware of lack of speakers built-in and 60 Hz refresh rate, but it works great for someone like me who's mostly here for graphic design and art!
Pros:
- large screen
- very bright
- 10-bit color looks great, surprising to find that in this price range
Cons:
- stand only has tilt adjustment (VESA mountable thankfully - this makes up for it)
- brightness varies widely across the screen depending upon where you're sitting
- screen is overly bright in the middle when viewing straight on/centered in front of it
Overall Review: Overall this is an above average monitor for the money, just beware of the pros and cons listed. Would have purchased a 4K screen at this size if money were no object.

Pros: Picture quality is as expected for the price
Cons: Monitor won't wake up from sleep
Overall Review: The monitor itself is fine for the price. I don't have strict technical requirements for color quality or anything--this is just for general household use--so for the price this is a good value.
There is a killer flaw though: When my computer wakes from sleep, the monitor appears to be searching for the correct input by cycling through the three input options (DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI). The monitor never resolves this, even though my computer is up and running, so there's an endless cycling through and the monitor never finds the signal from the computer.
The only workaround I've come up with is to physically disconnect the cable from the monitor immediately after waking the computer, and then reconnecting. This allows the monitor to find the signal and function normally until the next time the computer enters sleep. I've searched around for a more permanent fix with no luck. I've seen several other posts in the Acer forums and elsewhere (including some similar reviews on Newegg) but no fix is apparent. I'll keep trying for a few more days but will probably have to send this back.
Shame, as it's otherwise a good value.
