Awesome computer monitor

So far I'm thrilled with my purchase. I replaced an 11 year-old flat screen that worked, but was technically ancient. I ordered my Acer online and picked it up the same day. I opened the box, assembled the base (no tools required), plugged HDMI cable (included) into my Mac Mini, plugged in the power cord, turned it on and began to use it. The resolution is better than anything in my house (including my MacBook Pro). The colors are rich, contrast good; no adjustments whatsoever. The viewing angle is one of the reasons I chose this monitor and I'm not disappointed. There is practically no border to the monitor, so when the monitor's off it's essentially a black piece of glass on a black stand. My original Samsung cost $400, so I'm very happy with the price.
Con: The buttons (lower right bottom) are not marked (other than a small symbol for the power), but when you press one you get an onscreen menu. Not necessarily a bad thing, just a bit of a mystery at first. The "on" button emits a downward shining blue light, but that goes off when the monitor's asleep. All that said, once I turned the monitor on I no longer need to use the buttons at all.
My Best Buy number: 2134100472
What's great about it: Plug N Play, incredibly thin, minimal border
What's not so great: Control buttons are a bit vague, but hasn't affected performance.
I would recommend this to a friend!

can you mount the monitor on wall ?

There is no mention of a provision for wall mount in the specs and I see nothing on the monitor to indicate that there is.

does this monitor have a 3.5mm headphone jack?

There is a mini-jack on the back of the monitor. Not the most convenient location, but in keeping with the ultra-sleek design.
