Acer EB321HQU Cbidpx 31.5" WQHD (2560 x 1440) IPS Monitor (Display Port, HDMI & DVI port),Black

Was the cheapest big monitor I could find. Works great, almost too big, great colors, very reasonably priced.

I was considering two 27" HDMI monitors, but decided on one 32" for my needs. I really wanted a monitor that had a good brightness level, which can be lower on more gaming focused monitors depending on the screen technology.. My fundamental need was to display multiple windows which it does fine, and is a great boost to productivity versus flipping between screens. The Picture in picture is one of the features I really wanted. I can display up to two concurrent windows, with a choice of 5 locations.The display is crisp, and fine for my eyes. The color rendition is good, I've seen better, especially on some 4k screens, but it is not disappointing, and the colors seem reasonably saturated, and are fine for Photography. But there are some that are much better, check out some of the Viewsonic, and Philips displays. As I noted the brightness is however good for a large display.The feature that really swung the Acer display was the PIP function, I could not find this feature on any monitor at this time for less than $300/ up. This allows me to run a development system and operate side by side of PIP modes to use both systems. This is really awesome. The Acer has three inputs to select from - one Display Port, an HDMI, and one DVI. I run the Windows 10 Laptop into the DVI, and a Raspberry Pi into the HDMI and the Mac into the display port input. I run the Mac at QHD which it performs flawlessly. The Linux (Pi) runs on HDMI at similar resolution, and the lap top in a Window at same res as the local display. I have an external keyboard switch to share the keyboard and mouse between the Mac and the Pi. This all works very well. The only clunky bit is the hidden controls and on screen display on the Acer, thats meh. I have also used the screen with my old Apple TV, which is nice when you are working sometimes. I wish there were a few more PIP options, but the basics are well covered.I also have headphones connected to the display and can listen to music etc at night without waking up the family. There are no on-board speakers however. That would be my one add in a perfect world.This screen does have a VESA MOUNT! I have this hung off a nice wall mount which frees up more desk space and is easy to adjust to suitable viewing. This is something that a lot of models do not support in the value end of the market. In my experience with a super large screen this is a must have. I would not buy a monitor without this feature. The enclosed stand is very nice finished, but I have not used it, so no further comment on that.Obviously all the inputs work, and features. Also the monitor plays nice with the Mac (a 2011 Mac Mini Server) and Windows 10. It also works fine with the Pi, which makes for a really nice little Linux system BYTW. So top marks for compatibility. Oh, and yes it works with the Apple TV Gen 3. The picture is a little low res though, so not the coolest, I would use a more current model for serious viewing.I did not use the supplied cables, I purchased these nice nylon covered cables from Amazon - Ivanky. They work well, and feed through the mount nicely.On size, I think you could go up to about 40" on the desktop, but it may become tiresome to use. I find 32" works fine for my needs. Two 27" would have the usual line down the middle, so I don't think the extra space would be as useable, or at least as flexible. I have definitely seen a productivity improvement with the large screen, and work is more relaxed by not having to keep switching screens all the time. The Mac multiple desktop is really great here for organizing your work flow.Acer get some whacks here for reliability. No observation to share at this time. Will report back if that situation changes. There were no stuck or missing pixels at all. Thumbs up to Acer on that.Build quality, mine is nicely put together, and I really like as noted the traditional power chord and VESA mount. Not having another power pack hanging out on the desk or the floor is nice.Screen uniformity of color etc, very, very good. The camera picture is poorer than the actual experience. The panel is rated for wide angle use and that is 100% the case in use. This is good when we are discussing something on the computer, so you can display and share. That might however, be an issue in some office environments - FYI.In summary...1. Some great features that are not competitively available in this price range2. Good quality QHD display with a good brightness3. Screen controls - meh4. VESA mount5. No wall wart, plugs into the standard 110v wall socket!6. Nice range of digital video inputs, would have loved an additional HDMI (ie 4 inputs)7. Headphone socket8. Good price, and good value to priceThe cons:1. Its not the best choice for hard core gaming - but then you already know that, so why are you looking!2. No speakers3. On screen controls are not the greatest Ux.Overall great business/engineering display. Not the best for photography, and lower performance end of the spectrum for gaming. Recommended for the Office type user. Supports local presentation capability due to size.

My husband needed a larger monitor as he works from home and he was squinting to work on his laptop monitor. We went with this size not really knowing if it would be right. Yes, it seems huge! But he doesn't even need to wear his reading glasses to work on it. Acer is a dependably great brand and it looks pretty sleek. We did have to go out and buy a VGA to HDMI cord after we got it, as the one that comes with it is VGA to VGA and he doesn't have a VGA port on his laptop. Overall, pretty pleased with this purchase!

This monitor presents a good value proposition, the picture quality isn't up there with more expensive models but for the price paid it's more than acceptable, fonts are a little fuzzy in some sizes but certainly readable, and colors are bright and vivid. The monitor itself is visually attractive and looks good on my desk. The base attached without tools and was easy to slide into place and solid. I had a little trouble working the buttons to set the input to VGA, the layout isn't particularly intuitive, and I don't know if I didn't do it right but every time I boot my computer the monitor looks for an HDMI signal then finally settles on VGA which is a minor annoyance. All in all, I feel I got more than my money's worth, it's a nice, big screen in an attractive package and renders things accurately and well. I'm not a gamer so I can't speak to it for gaming, but it seems fine for streaming video.
