Acer SB270 Bbix 27" Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Ultra-Thin Zero Frame Monitor with AMD Radeon FREESYNC Technology - 1ms | 75Hz Refresh (HDMI & VGA ports)

Comment

Ive seen many other reviews saying this monitor does not tilt, but it in fact does. Im guessing people didnt take a close enough look at the hinge mechanism in the base, which attaches to the main display and allows for backwards tilt of approximately 15 degrees. The monitor is very light, thin, has small bezels, and produces reasonably good colors. It doesnt have a vesa mount, but I knew that before purchasing it, and wasnt planning to mount it. For $89, it is a great value.

This monitor is definitely a good value. Does it have superb color and contrast? No. Does it boast the best refresh rate on the market? No. But if youre tight on money, this thing looks and preforms great for the money. It has a Matte screen which does a great job at eliminating glare. The chassis its enclosed within is absolutely stunning. It features a VGA and and HDMI port. The screen automatically detects signals and turns on when a source is turned on. When the selected source turns off it quickly scans and switches to any other sources. If no connections are available it goes into standby automatically. The power chord is a good 6 or more feet and easy to wrap with half of it being very thin wire. The ON LED is not distracting or too bright. When its off it looks like a borderless monitor. And unlike what other people say it does have tilt, just not forward or left to right. It stands up straight or leans back. Unfortunately it doesnt have VESA mount holes, but under 100 you cant be that serious about your monitor setup. Small text has some problems fully rendering when using VGA so I recommend using HDMI. If you use the Windows 10 settings to configure how text is displayed though it fixes this, but not all will know how to do that. It doesnt have speaker, and I am thankful that most monitors dont. This monitor has A LOT of settings for gaming, night use, color adjustments, and general settings and all can be saved into 3 different gaming profiles. You can even change what settings appear in the quick menu. When u press any of the menu buttons, the menu pops up and clearly illustrates all the buttons. This monitors menus are super easy to understand and navigate and thats a rarity in its own. Also worth noting; it can display crosshairs and display the monitors current refresh rate. It also packs FreeSync for AMD graphics card users. If you only have DVI, you can get DVI to HDMI chords as long as your computers video out supports it. The base and monitor couple together with one screw that features a hand flap so you dont need a screw diver if you dont want to use one. It is decently sturdy and the screen doesnt distort even when pressed on with strong pressure. The base is quite large, but wont be a problem for most. I havent noticed any screen delay compared to my 300 dollar 1ms response time monitor (and Im pretty picky). Its contrast is a little flat in some scenarios but appears much more dynamic in games, especially with some tweaking. With that said, I like that it looks flat when working on documents because it makes it much easier to focus. All in all, this monitor is filled with a good balance of features and looks like a very solid 1080p 75Hz IPS screen for any monitor under $160, let alone the $80 I paid. If you dont absolutely need a better refresh rate and arent planning on spending more than 200 dollars then I would say just buy this monitor. Its durable, feature packed, and looks fantastic in all use-case scenarios. Id give it 1000 stars if I could.

I just got this monitor few days ago and setting up literally took a minute. Colors are so vibrant and bright. Darks are good and brights are rich. I work in a IT field and I’ve seen and used a lot of monitors, this is by far the best I’ve used till date. I’ve only used vga and it’s already better than using hdmi in most of the monitors. I can only imagine what it would be after using with an hdmi cable. Its a steal for the price I got.

Aside from my computer and PS4, this is probably one of the best things Ive ever purchased. I use it every single day without error and everything always looks amazing. Im a broke college kid and really needed something sufficient for PS4, homework, movies, everything really. I was torn between this and the HP pavilion and I have no regrets from picking this one! The screen is definitely big enough (perfect for having multiple pages open for homework) and is insanely vibrant and good quality for the price. I have absolutely no complaints, and even with a horrible $2 thunderbolt to HDMI cable for my Mac, it still looks absolutely amazing.

Read over the reviews at least 10 times weighing the pros and cons but I decided to go for it and Im glad that I did! Like others stated, it took maybe 5-6 minutes to unpack and get up and running. I wanted a larger screen to use when I work from home as my 10 inch laptop keeps me squinting and bending over. The monitor is SUPER lightweight and very sleek. It comes with the VGA cord but no HDMI cord, luckily I have several laying around the house. I did have to prop it up a bit in the front since there is no tilt option, but that wasnt a deal breaker for me. I use this for basic internet and word processing, no gaming or watching movies and its been working great for me!

You honestly cant beat that price. 89 USD. There is a gaming variant for 10 more, but really I feel its nearly identical.

This monitor is perfect. It has really good image quality, it has incredible black tones, and super quick response time. The size is the only thing that bothers me, but I would definitely buy another one of these monitors to have two displays. Believe me when I say that it is a really good monitor.

I purchased for my custom pc and dont have much money for an expensive monitor but this one is really makes it hard to consider other monitors for the price. The picture quality is very good even with VGA. Im upgrading to a displayport to hdmi to see if thats even better. There are no speakers but there are adapters you can order that have audio jack port to install speakers or headphones. Highly recommend this monitor for anyone. Updated: I had trouble installing the base but got help from acer support who in the same process registered my product. I attached a picture of the base where you should place the metal plate. It may be obvious to place for some, but there were no instructions included

This is a great budget monitor. I was amazed by the quality of the screen and color display. I’m using this for both my MacBook Pro and Xbox one and I couldn’t not be any happier. Don’t know why people in these reviews are docking points for “not having a vesa mount” or “not including and adapter for Mac”. The description of the item easily tells you that before you buy this item. Why judge this monitor off of something it didn’t even advertise?

Henry wrote in his August 2018 review that this monitor has no tilt. Mine does., dont know why his doesnt. I almost didnt buy this monitor because of that but all of its other features at a very good price convinced me to do otherwise. I have seven computers (incl. 1 laptop) and Ill say, without reservation, this is the best monitor in the house. Lightweight, thin as thin can get and outstanding picture quality. My photographs never looked better. Again, Perfect!
