Question 1

Is the audio port for audio in or out? I need to be able to plug my headset into the monitor, it's showing as a black outlet which may be audio in as opposed to a green outlet

Do your self a favor and don't even try to use the built in speakers.... They are the worst ones I've ever heard.

Question 2

I have this monitor and connect through display port, however when I first turn the monitor and computer on it cycles through all the other inputs first and takes awhile to actually show a picture. Is there a way to disable this cycling  because I can't find one in the options?

Accepted Answer

I am getting really frustrated with it not making the connection with my new Acer Aspire Nitro Black laptop (Windows 10).
I'm using the HDMI port and I've tried 3 different HDMI cables.
I seem to have to turn the monitor off and on 3 or 4 times before it mirrors my desktop. I get 'No Signal' after it cycles.
This is really odd because each time I disconnect and re-connect the monitor the 'connection' sound notifies the connection.
Fiddling with the Intel Graphics panel shows 'No Device Detected' when I choose 'Detect'.
If I shut the monitor off and on the resolution on the laptop changes, so there is some sort of connection happening.
Then miraculously the monitor makes the connection and all is well.
I can't imagine the monitor is bad, but I'm stating to wonder...

Question 3

Hello,
Newegg keeps changing the specs of this monitor. First it was 6ms response time then it went on sale and it was a 1ms response time. NOW I see it's back to 6ms which is not very speedy for a TN panel. I know they have an IPS model that is similar to this with a 6ms response time. I'm just trying to figure out if I want this monitor. Can anybody put this mystery to rest?

Accepted Answer

I have purchased this monitor, it is in fact 60hz 1ms, verified by both user manual and using it / looking at settings etc...  there is another monitor that is almost identical with same part #, but if u look closely the stand / edges are slightly different, and that is 6ms. This thing is a beauty if you can find it for 250$ or less its worth it.

Question 4

I would also like to get some confirmation on the specs of this monitor. I looked up the same K272HUL  code for the monitor on other sites and received totally different specifications, such as a 6 ms response and 60 Hz refresh rate?

Question 6

Is this the same as the bmiidp and new egg has the wrong info because I can't find this model anywhere?

Accepted Answer

This one looks like the K272HULB, part number UM.HX2EE.B01 TN @ 2 ms, posted on the Acer UK web site.   The power consumption numbers look nearly match, but the response time is obviously different.  There is also aK272HULA, UM.HX2EE.A01, on the UK site which is an IPS at 6 ms. .

Question 7

What exactly is this monitor? Acer's site lists no monitor with this model, only this with the addition of "bmiidp" which is significantly more expensive. This price is very low for a QHD monitor of this size which makes me suspicious.

Question 8

I was wondering if this is a TN panel as it states. I cannot find any reviews for the TN version of this. How are the colors and the viewing angles? Did you actually receive an IPS panel?

Thanks for any help!

Accepted Answer

I called newegg and the rep looked up the model #: UM.HX2AA.C01. Also,  newegg business website (cannot link here; a simple search will pick it up) shows the same deal and shows the above mfg part #.

However, there is no UM.HX2AA.C01 on the acer website. There is only UM.HX2AA.001 which is the K272HUL bmiidp. Called Acer but was told that there is no .C01 just .001. Not sure if the rep knows.

Question 9

My 2K gaming experience is wonderful with this monitor, but occasionally I need to set it to 1080p so I can mirror my screen to the TV downstairs. Whenever it is in 1080p I get really bad screen tearing on this monitor. NVidia control panel doesn't give me any options to adjust the refresh rate, so I don't know if there's anything I can do. Has anyone else had this issue?

Accepted Answer

DO you have GSync enable in the NVidia control panel?

Question 10

Freesync?
