What's great about it: Picture and price
What's not so great: I received CD/Documentation for a Dell U2410, instead of for this monitor. Not sure if it was a return.
I have always used Acer monitors and after purchasing this one, I will continue to buy them. I don't use the speakers, but plan on trying them.

What's great about it: The graphics and color
What's not so great: Text and features
I needed a 27" monitor for graphic design work. I have the Acer monitor hooked-up to my Macbook Pro. The graphics are good but the text is not as crisp as I would have liked however after messing with the settings a bit the text is more than adequate. The graphics have no ghosting and everything works very well. I would have liked the features to be more user friendly than they are. The speakers are horrible. I connected a pair of Altec Lansing speakers and I was good to go. Overall, for the size and price you can't beat this monitor.
This product has... Attractive design, Easy to setup, Difficult to adjust/use buttons, Poor quality speakers, HDMI connection

What's great about it: Look and function
What's not so great: No Display Port connection
This is a great monitor. I like the cool slim design with the controls and connections being on the base. The screen is non-glare and the mat finish of the bezel does not produce reflection or glare like most other monitors. The image and functions are great. One of the reviews said the speaker was poor - I did not use the internal speaker. I ordered on line and delivery to the store was only a few days. I like these monitors better than the ones I had to replace them with. If you use one or two monitors and have room for 27 inches (come on, you can make room), get this monitor. I use three (3) monitors for my desktop. Unfortunately, these monitors do not have a Display Port (DP) connection that allows me to do that.
(Lesson Learned:) I thought I could adapt the DP and use the HDMI connection; the sales people at two stores and the description with the video card said I could, but - you can not. Adapting DP to HDMI makes a 'passive' connection which limits you to two monitors. Hunting, I finally found a footnote to a comment in the downloaded video card installation manual (under alternate installation methods) stating that the adapter technology does not currently exist, but they expect the need will be realized and someone will produce such a device. That still has not happened. Multiple video cards will not solve this. They provide more video horsepower, but not more useable connections that can be combined into one desktop display. There are some disappointed gamers who bought equipment and have waited more than a year to be able to use it as planned. I returned the monitors and picked from the very few 27" units with the Display Port. Best Buy put my returned items on display as opened items, at the price I paid a few weeks earlier (so I guess the price had gone up), and they sold one per week until all three were gone. If the store stocked this item, more people would get to see them. I have a friend who has been in business providing/repairing computers for close to 30 years, who recommended the Acer monitor to me for value and function. (Note:) Display Port can be adapted to VGA and provide an 'active' connection. If you buy a video card with three or more DP connections and go to VGA, you might be able to do the 3 monitor desktop. But, when I spend the money for that big a video card and these monitors, I was not going to convert them backward and try to run it as analog. I did notice the actual display resolution this monitor could produce from analog was very good.
I realize this is a long review. I hope it is helpful. It would have saved me a lot of time.

What's great about it: Great value
What's not so great: No major complaints, slight backlighting.
It's not the "perfect" monitor and those who specialize in monitor technology will always have some things to critique. However, for the normal to advanced user this monitor is a very solid option. Great for work, browsing, gaming, etc. Perfect on delivery w/o any issues/dead pixels.
Ordered it online while it was out of stock and it was delivered within 2 weeks ~ much sooner than I expected.

What's great about it: Relatively inexpensive
What's not so great: Color accuracy
I bought two of these monitors online because, for whatever reason, I didn't realize how big 27" was going to be. Both of the monitors had trouble displaying beige hues. Whether it be video games or a desktop background, I noticed green and red horizontal lines within the beige coloring. Also, when looking at a white background, the top of the screen appears to be shaded pink. I spent a lot of time adjusting settings to fix these issues to no avail. If color accuracy is important to you, reconsider purchasing this model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After looking at Samsung and HP I decided on this one. I went and looked at the 24" version at Best Buy and the Samsung / HP monitors. The 24" version of this looked much better than the others. When I was looking at pictures online I thought the stand would be really ugly, but it's actually not all that bad.
My only criticism is that their aren't any additional USB ports on it.
I've got it hooked up to a Mac Book Pro doing 1080p. Looks great!

What's not so great: Needs Display port .
Picture was great, no DEAD Pixels! Stand and bezel could be better. Wish it had display port. I bought a Asus led monitor, had several dead and stuck pixels. After 2 Asus monitors, i gave in and got the Acer. Im very happy to get a perfect one out of the box!
