Acer K272HUL Pro Reviews

Acer’s affordable K272HUL skimps on the features but serves up fine image quality for the money

The Acer K272HUL is the least expensive name-brand WQHD 27 inch monitor on the market, so it comes as little surprise that its performance is not ground-breaking. You’ll receive greater color accuracy and superior contrast from something like the Dell U2713HM or even the ASUS PB278Q, which is only $100 more. Still, this Acer is far from a bust. The display’s overall quality, while far from the best, is likely “good enough” for most owners. We watched quite a few YouTube trailers and, while we were never astounded by what we saw, we were never disappointed, either. And in some areas, like gamma and calibrated color accuracy, this monitor can compete with alternatives that sell for hundreds more. We could certainly criticize the K272HUL for its poor build quality, lack of adjustable stand and confusing controls, but what’s the point? This is a cheap monitor, and what we expect from a cheap monitor is simple; decent image quality, low price, and no show-stopping faults. Acer has managed to exceed our performance expectations without introducing any flaws, and that makes the K272HUL a good choice for budget buyers.
