10 best Acer monitors
The Taiwanese company Acer rarely becomes the hero of high-profile news. It is practically not represented in the "trend" areas: the production of smartphones, wearable electronics. But among computer enthusiasts, the brand is well known. Acer is a manufacturer of both very affordable devices for ordinary buyers and insanely expensive unique devices that are hunted by the most advanced users.
In this article, we'll take a look at the top ten Acer monitors. In it you will find ultra-budget solutions, and models for the mass user at a reasonable price, and professional monitors at exorbitant prices.
TOP 10 best monitors Acer
10 Acer V196LBb
Let's open the TOP-10 monitors with the most unusual model - V196LBb with an aspect ratio of 5: 4. This format does not have any obvious advantages. It is considered only that it is more convenient to work with text documents on it. Also, the model may be of interest to "old school students" who do not perceive modern widescreen displays in any way.
The design is extremely simple and square. The body is made of practical matte plastic. The stand allows you to adjust only the angle of inclination, which is very useful given the viewing angles of the order of 160-170 degrees. The latter is especially surprising given the use of a 19-inch IPS matrix with a resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. Response speed (5 ms), contrast and brightness (250cd / m2) are typical for a monitor in the price category up to 10 thousand rubles. To work, according to user reviews, it is quite comfortable even in bright sun - let's say "thanks" to the anti-reflective coating.
9 Acer K192HQLb
Next in line is the most accessible monitor of the company. This becomes clear at first glance: the absence of any frills in design, simple black plastic, large frames. Even the diagonal hints at a budget - only 18.5 inches.
The picture quality is enough ... for one user. The color rendition is tolerable if you sit strictly in front of the screen - when you deviate, the colors are noticeably inverted and the contrast drops. Brightness level 200 cd / m2 - even considering the presence of a matte finish, we do not recommend placing the monitor in front of a bright window. The resolution of the TN-matrix is 1366x768 pixels. When working with text, there is no discomfort, but you should not rely on special clarity when watching videos or playing games. In the reviews, users refer to the obvious advantages of the monitor as low power consumption (only 12 W during operation), the possibility of wall mounting and, again, the minimum cost.
8 Acer V206HQLAb
Gradually, we begin to increase the diagonal and "coolness" of monitors. Having paid, in comparison with the previous participant, only 500 rubles, the buyer already gets 19.5 inches of the screen. The main design features remained the same, ascetic, but ergonomics were added. The stand is rectangular, stable, with adjustment only for the angle of inclination. There is a clip that allows you to neatly hide the wires from your eyes. There is the possibility of wall mounting, which is typical for all Acer monitors.
The matrix is again TFT TN, which means there is no reason to hope for a high picture quality. The viewing angles horizontally and vertically are 90 and 65 degrees, respectively. Leaning aside - the image will lose all its beauty. Pleases the resolution - 1600x900 pixels. Coupled with a not very large diagonal, this gives a good pixel density and low fatigue during prolonged work. You can find fault with the low brightness (200 cd / m2) and the only VGA video output.
7 Acer EB550Kbmiiipx
We will give the seventh place to the largest model not only in the TOP-10, but also in the market as a whole. Only HP Omen X Emperium has large dimensions, the cost of which is 6 (!) Times higher. The diagonal of this monster is 54.6 inches (139 cm). Design - like a TV - a huge display canvas, small frames and the simplest non-adjustable legs. In the reviews, users complain about the poor quality of the latter, and therefore we recommend using the monitor in tandem with a wall mount.
The resolution, of course, is 4K UltraHD - with another, graininess would be clearly noticeable.The HDR10 IPS panel with 300 cd / m2 brightness and 75 Hz refresh rate is perfect for watching movies and games (both console and PC). You can also work with this monitor, but how often do you work on a TV? But before us, in fact, it is he - without a TV tuner, but with excellent image quality, 10 W stereo speakers, and a lot of video inputs (3x HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, VGA) for simultaneously connecting a TV set-top box, computer and gaming consoles.
6 Acer K222HQLCbid
We will give the middle of the rating to monitors of the middle class. The K222HQLCbid model still boasts a fairly low cost, but already offers the user quite acceptable characteristics. But let's start with the design. The frames are narrow, not distracting from what is happening on the screen, but there are complaints about the stand - only the tilt angle is adjustable, there are no clamps for cables. There are a lot of connection options: DVI-D, HDMI, VGA.
There are also no complaints about the quality of the picture. The diagonal IPS-matrix of 21.5 inches is a good solution for small workplaces. At the same time, the resolution is FullHD (1920 × 1080), which gives a high density. Combined with Flicker-Free backlighting and blue light reduction, it allows you to sit in front of the screen for a long time without eye strain. The brightness of 250 cd / m2, as well as the response speed of 4 ms, are average. As a result, the monitor can be recommended for almost any household task for people on a budget.
5 Acer ED242QRAbidpx
Do you want an even more versatile and beautiful solution? Get ready to give double the amount. The monitor display is curved. The stand echoes it - stylish, but adjustable only by the angle of inclination. It is also impossible to hide the wires - there are no clamps for them, and the connectors go out perpendicular to the body back.
But the display parameters are of much greater interest. TFT VA matrix has FullHD resolution. Black depth, color rendition, contrast - the picture is just great. The brightness level is average - 250 cd / m2. Also, the average can be called a response rate of 4 ms. But the refresh rate of 144 Hz and support for FreeSync allow you to safely use the monitor for games. AAA games will look very nice on it at maximum graphics settings. With a powerful video card, of course. But the monitor can also be advised to ordinary users who care about picture quality.
4 Acer CZ350CKbmiiphx
You cannot do without a model with a 21: 9 ratio, ideal for watching movies, in the rating of monitors. The device, which took the fourth place, has a rather interesting, faceted, but at the same time restrained design. The stand is functional, it supports adjustments in height, tilt angle and rotation over a wide range. The rear panel houses a USB hub for 4 Type-A ports and one Type-B. Video outputs - 2x HDMI and DisplayPort - are directed downward, but there is no way to hide the wires from the eyes.
Diagonal of the curved matrix, made using TFT VA technology, 35 inches. The resolution is 3440x1440 pixels. Response speed and contrast indicators do not stand out against the background of competitors, but the brightness pleased me - 300 cd / m2. I was also pleasantly surprised by the refresh rate - 100 Hz. This Acer monitor can be safely recommended to fans of films, games, as well as those working with graphics, photos and videos - the wide display fits both the main workspace and all the necessary toolbars.
3 Acer ProDesigner BM270bmiipphuzx
How can you tell a professional monitor from a regular one? That's right, on the standard curtain around the display, which prevents the appearance of distracting glare on the screen. But Acer's ProDesigner monitor stands out for more than that. The design is discreet but functional. The stand is stable, adjustable in all directions. There are windows for cable management. There are four USB ports on the side, and there are plenty of options for displaying images: 2x HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, Mini-DisplayPort and even USB Type-C, which is still extremely rare in monitors.
The 27-inch display is made using IPS technology. Resolution - 4K UltraHD.Brightness deserves special attention: in the database, the monitor gives out 400 cd / m2, but with HDR turned on - up to 1000 cd / m2! At the same time, you do not have to manually adjust the brightness depending on the illumination - for this there is a special sensor, like in smartphones. Color reproduction is ideal: Adobe RGB coverage is 100%. Also ProDesigner is color calibrated at the factory. You can only find fault with the cost. But when were professional solutions cheap?
2 Acer XF250QAbmiidprzx
The silver medal is won by a monitor with a design atypical for a gaming model. The only catchy detail is the red ring on the stand. Otherwise, we have a very discreet device. You can display the image through any of four connectors: 2x HDMI, DVI-D or DisplayPort. For the convenience of the user, there is a USB hub with 5 ports and a stand that is adjustable in tilt, swivel and height.
The matrix, at first glance, cannot boast of anything outstanding. 24.5 inches, FullHD-resolution, made using TN technology. Viewing angles are typical for a good TN matrix: 170 ° horizontally and 160 ° vertically. But brightness and speed ... At its peak, the monitor produces almost 400 cd / m2 brightness and a refresh rate of 240 Hz - this is a record figure on the market at the time of this writing. Paired with a 1ms response rate and FreeSync support, it delivers great esports performance even at the professional level.
1 Acer CB271HUbmidprx
The most balanced TOP monitor takes the leading position. The design is discreet, but not boring: thin frames are combined with black plastic of different textures and chopped edges. The stand is heavy, stable, allowing you not only to adjust the height, tilt and swivel, but also to transfer the screen to portrait mode. Three inputs are used to connect to a video source: DVI-D, HDMI, DisplayPort. There is also a pair of 2W speakers - they sound mediocre.
But there are no complaints about the image quality. The 27-inch IPS-matrix has a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. Brightness 350 cd / m2, which is enough for any situation. Response speed 4ms - this display can be safely played on an amateur level. The color reproduction is excellent, the coverage of the sRGB color space is 100%. As a result, we have a monitor that is fast enough for games; color quality - for working with photos, videos and graphics; size - for watching movies; permissions - for comfortable work with text; and, finally, at a price that is affordable for a large number of buyers.
