Side by Side Comparison of: AmazonBasics vs Acer vs Logitech

AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)I was looking for a cord for Raspberry pi 2 to plug into an older monitor that did not have an HDMI port. I was not looking to watch movies on the monitor just mainly do some programming work. I came across this product which has a HDMI to a DVI connector. I bought the 6 foot version of this product. The cable feels thick and the end connectors feel solid. The cable connected to the raspberry pi was able to deliver 1080i output to the monitor. The price of this cable vs going to Best Buy was easily 1/3 of the price. The cable does what it's supposed to and I am satisfied with my purchase. I am giving the product five stars as the price was very good and the cable feels well built.

im crying happy tears. i spent money on all these other off brand wires and this Amazon Basics wire finally worked. I plugged it in to my ps4 into my monitor (i have an acer g226hql) AND I SAW THE LOGO POP UP AND I WAS SO HAPPY CAUSE ALL I NEEDED WAS ONE WIRE AND IT WAS UNDER $10. THANK YOU AMAZON BASICS FOR HOLDING IT DOWN WITH THE $7 WIRE . U DA TRU MVP

works as designed. no issues at all. have one monitor connected via regular HDMI cable, other with the amazon HDMI to dvi.

Using for computer with dual monitors. Had a short, box-type adapter that resulted in a lot of ghosting - unbearable with text. This cable cleaned that right up and plugs in nice and solid. We needed a longer cord and were nervous about going 9', but it works well! Have speaker wires, second monitor, power cords, and wireless mouse/keyboard receiver close to it and we get no interference. GREAT!CAUTION: Be careful when buying HDMI cables. We use AmazonBasics HDMI cables for the TV and multiple computers and like their plugs. We have had a cheap cable ruin the inside prongs to one of our TV ports as it bent them when plugging it in. Very expensive to fix - luckily our TV has 3 ports so we're good. We have never had this problem with an AmazonBasics HDMI cable whether for computer or TV.

Just received this cable and almost immediately hooked it up. I connected the one end into the marked HDMI port on the back of my tower (XPS 8500) and the other end into the DVI port on the monitor. NO picture. So I had to reconnect the DVI connection and try to figure out what the problem was. I couldn't find an answer except one suggestion was to reboot the computer. I shut it down completely with the DVI connected and before restarting I connected the new adapter. Luckily I got a message on the screen referring to the video connection. I turned the tower so I could fully see the back and sure enough there was an HDMI connection not marked but apparently linked to the video card. Viola!! That did the trick and the picture is better with the adapter. So to all who are technically challenged like I am and you think the adapter didn't work, you may need to do what I did. I had no idea there were two HDMI connections on the back of the tower.

It works! I purchased a new monitor and wanted a duel monitor set-up. My computer didn't have the another DVI connector. So my old monitor (HP 2009m) uses the original DVI connector. While my new monitor (AOC e2050Swd 20-Inch Class Screen LED-Lit Monitor) uses the HDMI port with the DVI connector in the back of the monitor.

Excellent Monitor especially for the price! I have had no problem with this monitor in fact I'm planning on ordering a second one. I have it sitting next to an older monitor and it makes my old one unusable. The same with my laptop. I have no complaints it a fantastic deal on a great product.Decided to purchase a gaming monitor since i built a gaming PC. I went with the 144hz since it was recommended even though its pricier. Best decision i ever made. I played on my friends 60hz and it was horrible. If you're going to get one and you're worried about the price definitely get this one other companies charge for their name like benq. Great quality and best price for 144hz would strongly recommend!

Exactly what I needed.I bought this to go with a new desktop computer. It's the first monitor I've purchased.Pros:-Gets going really fast. Super easy to plug in and go.-Nice, comfortable size. Nice improvement from the 17 inch laptop screen I'm used to.-Doesn't hurt my eyes-Games look pretty damn good with a nice graphics cardCons:-I had to do a bit of brightness/contrast/gamma correction so that the colors looked good. Windows has a built in program that helps with that though. I imagine this is something you should do for every new monitor, so it's not a big deal at all.- Colors change with tilt. Honestly though, it's not as bad as some people are describing in their reviews. The monitor will tilt, so it's easy to adjust. As long as you can find a comfortable watching angle (which could be achieved with any desk/table + chair), it's perfectly fine.Need a budget monitor that will work and look nice? Get it!

I needed an additional monitor for work so I spend some time comparing a number of different monitors. After many hours of comparisons I decided to purchase this acer monitor. It was the right price, the right size and had all of the features that I was looking for.The monitor came packaged nicely in a typical box that a monitor would come in. It had plenty of support so that it didn't break during shipping. It was very very easy to setup and only took a couple of minutes to get it up and running. It has a number of different adjustment features so that you can adjust the screen to your liking. The picture quality is great, nice and clear and easy to read. I am considering purchasing an additional monitor for work use as well and looking at buying this same monitor because it has worked so amazing for me. I would highly suggest this monitor for anyone in the market!!

I was really really happy with this monitor. It comes with EVERYTHING you need, including cables. The best part about it, besides its great resolution is the buttons used to configure the contrast, brightness, etc. are all labeled on the screen once you activate them. So there's no frustration about figuring out the right button to press.Its factory settings are a little bright, but, with the help of your computer, you can adjust it. This is a great buy, I would highly recommend this monitor to anyone!

My first impressions of this monitor were that it is *very* thin...like pretty damn thin. Which is why you actually have to use a DC power adapter to plug the monitor *in*. AND be warned, plugging the DVI input in feels really dangerous because of how thin the screen is and the fact that it's directly on the back of the screen, not oriented on the bottom of the screen. So screwing in the pins of a DVI cable feels like you might snap the screen or damage the internals, but, you should be fine.Overall a great monitor for the price. I'm using it as a third display for menial tasks and side projects to multi-task on, i have a main monitor for gaming and i wouldn't really recommend this monitor for gaming as it doesn't do too well with colors.Definitely a great buy. Would buy again.:)

This is a wonderful screen. The color and resolution is great on here, and it provides a wonderful picture. I have used it for my computer to hook it and have a larger screen to use while I do either projects with my cricut tools or reading homework etc. I did have to buy a cord that hooks into the VGA port and converts to the HDMI port in order to have an HDMI port so that I could hook up my Roku box to the screen and watch movies off of that computer screen. For the price, this is a great investment and addition to your computer and to use for a "TV screen" when utilizing some type of streaming device to watching tv/movies. I highly recommend this product to others looking into purchasing a monitor!!

These screens work great for inexpensive workstations. I have two set up in connection with my office laptop docking station, and another at home connected to my personal PC. The image quality is satisfactory, especially given the price. No, you wont be thrilled if you are expecting 4K HD images, but it works great otherwise, even while playing graphics demanding games. My only issue with this monitor is the connections; it has a DVI and VGA connection, however lacks an HDMI, which seems to be the most common connection type. I wish they included an HDMI port, but the product description is clear that it doesnt, so I cant really knock it on that basis.

I absolutely love this monitor. Connected effortlessly to my macbook air using a DVI to minidisplayport adapter. A lot of reviews say that the brightness was unbearably high out of the box, and required manual dimming. However, I noticed no such thing; the brightness was perfect right out of the box (and I usually prefer dimmer monitors!) Regarding tilting, I'm absolutely baffled as to why many reviews here say that this monitor cannot tilt, or requires unscrewing and then rescrewing to manually tilt it; maybe I am misunderstanding what "tilt feature" means when it comes to monitors? In fact, I found it very easy to adjust the tilt of this monitor (even the instructions say that the monitor can be tilted up to 15 degrees!) without having to unscrew the base.One small quibble I have about the assembly of this monitor is that connecting the base to the monitor itself required pushing together two pieces with an unexpectedly substantial amount of force (I'm a 180 lb guy who lifts weights regularly, so I believe it should be a little fair to say that it shouldn't require that much force). At first, it seemed to me that the two pieces (the base and the slot on the back of the monitor) did not "snap" together. In fact, there was even a thread on the Acer community site where someone had the exact same problem (google "acer g236hl base", and go to the thread "Attaching G236HL Monitor to Base") and the responses in that thread were all completely useless. I eventually found that you simply have to push the base piece into the back of the monitor with a very strong push, and eventually it will very audibly and noticeably *snap* together, and it will then be locked together very securely. However, the force required to get the snap seems to be very large, and I can see someone who doesn't know this that will simply place the monitor on the base without snapping it together, which will lead to a very wobbly monitor (as the OP of the thread mentioned above accurately complained)

Firstly, I am by no means an expert when it comes to displays. I did do quite a bit of research, and spent a long time trying to decide glossy/matte, which screen size is best for me, resolution, etc. I got this monitor to use alongside my 2012 macbook pro, and it worked instantly with 0 set up. (you do need a display --> mini display cable though).I am extremely happy with it out of the box, and as soon as I plugged it in the words "f@%$ yeah" just kinda slipped out.I originally wanted a glossy screen because I thought the matte ones are dull, but this monitor is anything but dull. The colors are great, and everything looks super crisp. I think 25" is a good size, and the high resolution makes great use of all the screen space without anything being too small. (I sit about 2-3 feet away and admittedly don't have the best eyesight).The stand DOES tilt (though only a bit), not sure why there are so many people saying it doesn't.Anyway all in all, fantastic monitor (especially for $250!!!). I love the extremely thin bezel, and the beautiful picture quality.If you're considering it, go for it! I really don't think you'll regret it.

This is a brilliant all around monitor and great for gaming. The size of the monitor is good, and the colors and text are really clear. I had a really nice Viewsonic monitor for years so I was already used to using a good monitor. In games you get the 1440 resolution, so your games look clearer than ever before along with the vibrant colors.At first I thought maybe the monitor was a little bright but your eyes adjust quickly and it is easier to read text than with other monitors.I had a little bit of a problem getting Windows to recognize the maximum 2560x1440 resolution. It identifies it as a "Generic PnP Monitor". Initially I tried to connect the monitor while Windows was still running, which you really shouldn't do anyways. Whenever you connect a new monitor, your system should be turned off and only after connecting and turning on the monitor should you turn your PC on. Eventually I deleted the "Generic PnP Monitor" entry in Device Manager, and then shutdown the PC. I moved the DVI cable to a different port on my graphics card, and then started it back up and it recognized the correct maximum resolution for the monitor, but I think the solution was to delete the previous Generic PnP Monitor entry. You also need to use the cable provided with the monitor, or another DVI dual link cable because that is required for the higher resolution. Another problem I have seen with Windows not recognizing the higher resolution is by using a DVI to HDMI cable or other types of converter dongles, so you shouldn't use those either.The games are so clear that you don't really need Antialiasing anymore. Since you now run games at 2560x1440 with this monitor, and the higher resolution will bring your FPS down a little, you can turn off the Antialiasing if you need the extra FPS.

I've been saving money to upgrade my 32" 720p TV even though it's still going strong for almost 4 years because:1) It's on my desk and it takes up a lot of space2) While 720p is easier on my graphics card, the image quality basically cancels out how easily i can max out most settings on modern games.I would say when i'm at a monitor, 1/3 of the time I'm gaming the other 2/3 are just basic web browsing and YouTube consumption. 720p on a 32 inch TV sitting less than 6 feet from it would probably make most enthusiast PC gamers either cringe or cry (or both). I knew that while the 2/3rds I spend doing non-gaming activities would benefit from a higher resolution, my GPU would choke on it. I have been eyeing this Acer monitor because of how affordable it is (get it at $279, DEFINITELY get it right now at $249) and because it's a 1440p resolution which is higher than the standard 1080p. So does paying less equal less quality? With this monitor, I think not. I will list the pros and cons briefly and go into more detail below.PROS+VERY bright (I believe it's at 80 at default which is okay in the daytime but at night it's WAY too bright and I found 45 to be a sweet spot)+IPS display (Vibrant colors at wide viewing angles, everyone needs an IPS monitor unless you are those competitive gamers who need 144 hz monitors that right now are great for multiplayer games but have terrible colors and poor viewing angles)+Very affordable (A lot of high end 1080p monitors are around this price and while most are around $150-$200, I feel it's worth extra to go to 1440p especially if you do more web browsing than gaming)NEUTRALQuality (My monitor came with absolutely NO dead pixels and very faint backlight bleed common for IPS displays, I guess I won the monitor lottery. This WILL vary, but my experience was positive however I will leave this as a neutral as not all panels are made the same. Mine was made in April of this yer.)CONS-Very flimsy stand (Yes the other reviewers are right, the stand is quite bad. When you try to adjust the vertical height of the monitor it WILL shake. You can't adjust it horizontally nor can you turn it sideways like the Dell Ultrasharp's. It is easy to install the stand though.)-NO vesa mounts (Ties into the flimsy stand because you're stuck with that stand. Some people will find a lack of vesa mounts to be a nonstarter. For me, I can live with a flimsy stand when everything else about this monitor is a solid A.)In the box it comes with a DVI cable and an HDMI cable but not a display port cable. Something to note.So if you're not a gamer, the rest of this review you can skip. I will say to buy this monitor if you aren't a gamer because of the affordability, and the great display at 1440p resolution.Now, for the gamers: The higher the resolution the more your FPS is decreased. If you absolutely MUST have a solid 60fps experience, you will need at least a GTX 970 or a R9 290x if you're okay with dialing down some key settings like AA and shadows for 60fps or a GTX 980 ti or what AMD is going to release on July 16th at E3 if you want to have your cake and eat it too (max everything AND solid/above 60fps). I have a AMD R9 270, which is definitely on the lower end of the GPU spectrum so how does it fare at 1440p? Playing a demanding game like The Witcher 3, I can max out some settings, dial down the foliage distance (huge FPS eater) and get rid of Hairworks (even bigger for AMD AND Nvidia cards) and I can get a solid 30fps. It's not 60, but if you're of the graphics > FPS affinity, you can definitely use a lower end GPU at 1440p like the R9 270, 280 and for NVIDIA the 960. It's up to you what you want more of, but what is not disputable is just how much of a steal this monitor is and it WILL make your games look like you're actually in them, I stared at The Witcher 3 for almost 10 minutes just because how gorgeous it looks and why IPS monitors are always superior to other panels. 1440p is not as big of a jump as 4K, but it IS a big improvement over 1080p. The question is: do you need a new graphics card or not?

Just purchased 3 of these monitors and they look amazing see for yourself in my picture:)

Just purchased 3 of these monitors and they look amazing see for yourself in my picture:)

Excellent Monitor especially for the price! I have had no problem with this monitor in fact ive had one for a year now and i just bought another when I ordered my computer to build! These monitors side by side look great and perform great as well! I am hoping to get a Mount for my desk when i am able to and these will be able to mount because they have the VESA mounting spots on the back of the Monitor!

I have kids that dont like to keep thier hands off of things that are not meant for them to play with. (I.E. dads wireless keyboard) I went with a cheaper model so when they inevitably stomp on it, drop it, or spill something on it I wont be too heartbroken. Setup was easy... Plug in the usb dongle, remove the little tags from the surprise included batteries, turn them on and your set!! (On windows 10 at least). Very next day your son deciceds to drive his 1970s model Tonka dumptruck over the keyboard a few times, THEN proceeds to DROP said Tonka on top when he realizes hes been caught. Bet your envisioning keys everywhere, cracked plastic and death to my fancy new wireless keyboard huh? Nope!! 1 little scratch of the paint on the Win key! Not a stuck or broken key everything works flawlessly. Now dont go buying this thinking its indestructable, Can pretty much assure you it has a weakness, they all do, my kids just havent found it yet! Surprising little tidbit I read on the box and not in the description; the keyboard batteries last up to 36 months and the mouse goes for 18. If I get 6 months outta the (not advertised) included batteries Ill be a happy camper. My old set was lucky to get a month!! Anyhow everything with this set has surpassed my expectations by leaps and bounds. Its light, comfortable, and works fantastically from my couch (12 or so feet from the pc). Im not a power user or super gamer so did not need all the programable buttons and whatnot some of the more costly models include. But I am a cordcutter and my PC is mostly used for tv and movies. The volume keys are awesome for that. And i do like the other function keys. So for the price and features this is a deal and a half to me. Should this one get destroyed by my children I will definately reorder the same.

Great device combination, cheap price. I bought this pair because the keyboard in my laptop didn't operate reliably, and I needed that function to work for me without problems. This pair appealed to me for two reasons: first, it was wireless, so as long as I had a spare USB port for its dongle, which I did, I was in business. Second, it was so inexpensive that I assessed that I could buy it on speculation, and not feel badly about tossing it if it didn't do the job for me. As it happened, it has worked so well that I purchased another set, so that I could leave one at home and one on my campus, and avoid packing it when I went from home to campus. Oh, and, the feel of the keys is quite satisfying, in contrast to the laptop's own, and the mouse beats its touchpad utterly. What's not to like?

For the price, this is an amazing deal. I am by no means a keyboard fanatic, I do not care about the sound or feedback, but as far as I can tell this is a very solid keyboard and mouse. It's not very nice, it being entirely made out of plastic, but what can you expect from a $20 Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard? The set up process was amazing, I put in the bluetooth dongle, flipped a switch on the mouse and keyboard and I instantly started using it, no set up required.At worst, the keyboard has hanged every now and then. Nothing appears on screen and then woosh, all of my sentances instantly type themselves out. That's only happened a few times out of the many hours I've used the set. Also, you won't have to change the batteries for a whole year pretty much, which is a relief.

while its not the loudest keyboard i have ever had it you can hear when the keys fly back to the ready position. The wireless function i was able to get to work to about 35 feet away in a conference room with out a problem. for the price point I don't think this combo can be beet. I do wish there were a way to tell the mouse is on besides moving it around with the computer on. while it is nice not having the red light underneath at least when it was visible light you knew your mouse was working and on:) I will try to respond back when the battery dies in the mouse and keyboard respectively to give a good understanding of product life. This review was typed out on the keyboard!

It seems as though once one person gets a wireless keyboard and mouse then everyone wants one! I have even had people steal each others at work so I went ahead and purchased a bunch knowing they go quickly. This is a basic wireless combo with a keyboard and mouse. It's not the fancy version but gets the job done. You basically take the usb piece and plug it into your computer and BAM!! it works with no wires. In my experience Logitech has been a good brand for these types of items. I haven't had many issues with them overall. Sometimes you will get it where it loses connection or someone else picks up your wireless and you'll see a phantom pointer moving on your screen. I haven't had these issues with these new logitech mouse and keyboard. I am very satisfied and so are my coworkers who use them! I have also purchased the upgraded version and it works well too! I would definitely recommend this product and brand.

I got this great package yesterday, and it replaced my old wired keyboard and mouse on my old HP computer. It works great. I had problems with the built in mouse pad on the Chromebook 15, and my RN wife was afraid that I might end up with carpal tunnel syndrome and to suggested I try this cordless set with my Acer Chromebook. So, I tried it on my new Acer Chromebook 15, and it worked very well.It works great, and may be faster with the mouse on the Chrome book versus the HP.I had been considering buying the Acer Chrome Desk Top. If I can use a system to transfer the Image to my HP VGA 22 monitor, I will use my Chromebook 15 for what I now use my HP for on my office desk.The only mild complaint, is I can't find a sleep key for my HP monitor. So, I just push the off button.

This cable is great to go from HDMI to DVI. We use them on laptop docs that only have an HDMI out and need to hook them to a monitor.

I purchased 3 of these cords (one at each tv in the house). They work exactly how they are supposed to. This connects my computer to my television. The picture is perfection.These cords are a high quality, well made product just like Amazons other similar products. The price is fantastic, I know this because I paid less for 3 of these to replace one that I purchased at a large box store the month before that quit working on me and the company wouldn't refund. I now have 3, saved money, AND I know that Amazon always backs up their product!Thanks again Amazon!

It arrived as promised when promised and works as advertised. I can't honestly say I love it because It's a pity that I needed it at all to connect my 6 year-old laptop and my cable box to a recently purchased LED monitor from Dell. Why didn't I notice that the monitor didn't have an HDMI interface? Something to do with it being the middle of the second decade of the 21st century, I think. The thing to keep in mind is that DVI does not include sound so the fact that one end of this cable is HDMI does not mean that your DVI-only device will be able to make HDMI noise. But the picture from both my cable box and my computer looks great up to and including 1920 x 1080p HD, as advertised.

Cheap basic cable that does the job. I've been using the product for several weeks and the connection and cable have been rock solid. Price is right on the mark.

This "value" product from Amazon flawlessly paired a Raspberry Pi HDMI connection to a 1920 x 1080 24" AOC monitor's DVI input, and allows up to three meters of range between devices. This means tinker with your Pi on the couch, see what's going on while supine. I also connected a Bluray player to the same PC monitor, and again I got the 1080p resolution I expected without issue.For those who are new to the video-connection world there should be no issues with a DVI/HDMI cable. If there are then the manufacturer has executed poorly. The reason for the simplicity in a DVI/HDMI connection is that both standards are so similar, and literally it's just a slight rewiring of the connections to convert the transmission. While RCA to digital and vice versa require an analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog conversion, a DVI/HDMI converter simply changes the shape and size of the connection and redirects the wires.Here again Amazon has done a great job sourcing and delivering a quality, branded product to the marketplace.Ships free with Prime and I couldn't be more pleased.

There's some debate about the quality of HDMI cables; whether it matters if you buy a cheap cable or expensive one, as "it's all just 0's and 1's man!" From what little I've read on the matter, even though it is all digital, there can be errors in the transmission of data from one device to another through digital cables. This happens all the time and there's an acceptable amount of this that can occur before there's a breakdown and you see degradation of the image on your TV. One can reason that the quality of construction of your cable(shielding, wires, etc) will affect the amount of errors that occur. With this knowledge you can justify paying large amounts of cash for high quality cables if you must. The reality is, it won't make a huge difference for general uses.The AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable is exactly all it claims to be. A basic quality cable. I'm enjoying it's quality at this very moment, in fact. After the fact of having the proper cable for the proper application(there are differing qualities and standards of HDMI cable), there's not much more you can expect, other than it'd work. Do your research and buy the RIGHT cable.What amazon doesn't make a huge deal about is that their cables are an amazing deal. After using this cable, I'm very confident I'll never buy my cables in a retail store again unless there's some sort of emergency. Seriously eff you Best Buy and to a much lesser extent Radio Shack with your less flashy looking products but infinitely more helpful personnel!

This does just what I needed - using it as a second screen for both my work (PC) laptop and personal (Mac) laptop. - I can alternate between computers using an input selection button on the monitor, and if one computer is not running, the monitor will auto select over to the running machine.The picture is clear and colorful, and it's a good size for both writing documents and doing Photoshop work. The only negatives I can think of would be the lack of HDMI connection and the inability to adjust the height. It is possible to tilt the monitor, though, which is helpful.All in all, for the price, this works great for me.

Really great monitor. I've been using it for a month, and I have not noticed any dead pixels so far. 1440p looks great at this size, and I don't feel any scaling is necessary at 25 inches (some will say 27 inches is ideal for 1440p, but I rather like the pixel density I'm getting with this). The monitor is easily view-able from any angle, and I haven't needed to touch the color controls as it's IPS display is gorgeous as is. I've had no light bleeding through, either.I use this to play games, and I will also note I've had no problems with ghosting or response times. I've even managed to crank up the monitor to a stable 81 Hz refresh rate, so that was a great bonus. I had no problems connecting it to a current generation video card (R9 390). Some have complained about the speakers it comes with. Frankly, it sounds the same as the speakers that come with any TV or monitor. That is to say, mediocre, but perfectly acceptable to watch Netflix with. I think most people buy their own speakers or a nice pair of headphones for their monitors anyway.The one complaint other users have had that I will validate is the stand. It's rather flimsy feeling. Every time I go to turn the monitor on, there is a button on the bottom of the screen you need to press. If I don't also put a finger on the top of the screen to stabilize it, it will wobble a bit when I press any of the buttons on the bottom. I'm a bit concerned the monitor will outlive the stand (partially because it seems like such a great monitor that I see no need to replace it in the next 5 or more years), and I'm not quite sure what to do about that.Overall, I think this is the best buy-in value you can make for a 1440p monitor. The only things I would change is giving it a different stand and maybe free-sync.

This monitor did quite well for the reason I bought it - easier to read sharper text for my old tired eyes. My previous one was a flat screen analogue (not wide screen). The wide screen here makes quite a difference. I'm disappointed that I have to look at it square on to avoid a faded out look. I do find the simple up and down tilt quite adequate though. As others had said, it comes with full brightness. Turning it down turned out to be a problem, as all those little buttons underneath had me quite conflugerated. Tried to follow the instructions but finally got the brightness down to a reasonable level by hit and miss. That tiny instruction book is a joke - again for my eyes. But all in all I'm pretty happy with the monitor. (Durn it - where did that cursor go again?)

Lets face it. I paid $89 for this monitor so I could impress the ladies. And by ladies I mean my wife. And she's not impressed. But she is happy so I've got that going for me. That said....the negatives are the colors aren't very vibrant and it doesn't have an HDMI input. I didn't notice that last part before buying it. I ended up having to buy a DVI-D to mini display cable. Keep in mind it has two inputs (DVI-D & VGA).Overall good monitor for $89. If you are at all into photography, etc then consider upgrading to an Acer with better specs.

Is a pretty good monitor. Biggest drawback is does not have holes for VESA mounts. Also the bracket with holes is about $32, meaning you can buy a better monitor with holes... for the same price or cheaper.Of course I just had the bracket made as I bought 10 of them for a CCTV security monitor display, but STILL.No HDMI means another $5 for HDMI to DVI connector. Again the monitor is fine but the ups and extras add to a better monitor for the same approx price. Also NO SPEAKER if you're considering using it for a cable tv/satellite display.

I bought this during black Friday, so I'm extremely pleased with the price. Regarding the product itself, it's Full HD, so the experience of showing two windows(left-right) concurrently and watching movies is very good. It's easy to set up, with only three parts. There's no need for additional tools to set it up. If you are connecting your laptop to this monitor, as I am doing, then you might want buy the HDMI-DVI adapter cable as well. The adapter cable is around $6, and Amazon has its own product for it, which works well from my experience. Yes, there is the washout problem as mentioned in other reviews. However, on the other hand, you get brighter colors when watching movies or viewing pictures. I tested the screen color display, and it's distinguishable even at 1% level (good monitor requires <=2%). So despite the washout issue, with the black friday promotion and the great price, I think the product is satisfying. I'm not an expert on this, and I don't use the monitor to do fancy stuff. So for me, the product is at least 4 stars.

Acer G277HL Abid 27-Inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) Widescreen DisplayNo complaints.When researching, I saw some people complained about the control buttons on the front-right bottom of the monitor. There are no pictures indicating where the buttons are and they are very small. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and still have to feel around for the tiny buttons. I have to put my finger to the far right and drag it along so I hit the first (power) button. I left some of the plastic shipping protection on the monitor and sometimes I confuse that for the button, that's how small they are. I still frequently hit the second button from the right. If you have a bad sense of touch, big fingers or are clumsy, you might find it difficult to find the right button. I don't think it's an issue for most people, I don't take any stars off because of it.I bought this for $139.99. At full price, I think this is only 4-stars because there are other similarly priced 27" monitors. If you can get this on sale, it's worth it. Most other monitors with similar prices to what I paid were 23". I went big and don't regret it.

This would be 5 stars except some build quality issues. Others have mentioned it, but at the bottom corners there is a gap between the frame and screen where you can spot a bit of back light. It isn't noticeable unless you look for it, but at first I thought the monitor was damaged. Another reason for 4 stars vs 5 is the hidden bezel. There is a gap on the left and right side and top of the monitor. I spent an hour trying to figure out if I needed to overscan until I found other videos and reviews showing the same gap. So even though this has a very thin frame, there is still a hidden bezel. If you want that true edge to edge display you'd need to go with Dell or something similar and that's a lot more expensive. A trade off to keep in mind if that's important to you.Disclaimer, I'm not a designer, photo editor. Just a sys admin. This is my primary monitor for work. The screen quality of this monitor relative to its price is amazing. I think it actually rivals the quality you get with dell ultrasharps. The matte screen has nearly 0 reflection and I'm using it in an upstairs office that gets direct sunlight. I think the slightly smaller size helps with the picture quality as the pixel density is that much greater. I have a 27" HP ZR2740w next to it and this monitor outshines it hands down. It ships with several cables, something I haven't seen in a long time. High speed HDMI, display port to display port, and DVI. At least $30 in cables out of the box. I'm using the HDMI cable to connect my Dell Inspiron 7000 2-in-1 7348. I get 2560x1440@60Hz with no issues. I have tried a myriad of adapters and cables with my HP monitor (which only has dual link DVI and displayport) and have never been able to get 1440p from this laptop. I was actually surprised this worked out of the box as I don't think the 7348 has HDMI 2.0. I won't be playing any games on this at the moment, but I do have a XPS 15 9550 coming next week. It won't be able to push 1440p with very high settings but I'll probably try Battlefront and Cities Skylines. You also lose a good stand. The one this comes with allows you to pivot the monitor. There is no side to side, up or down. Also no vesa mount, although there are adapters for about $30. The stand is sturdy and the monitor light and compact so it's easy to fit on a smaller desk.I'm including a pic of the gap and you can see the hidden bezel from the other pic. My 7348 has a glossy screen to get an idea of reflection.

I picked up my old monitor using two hands to move it out of the way, pulled the new monitor out of the box and thought i'd grabbed cardboard, it was so light. Plugged it in, fired it up, and it was bright, bright, bright. It also looked huge next to my 19-inch second monitor. Spent 30 minutes cursing and grumbling trying to figure out the out-of-sight button on the bottom of the screen to lower the brightness and adjust the contrast. I think I've got it adjusted now.Not thrilled with the stand. If it's supposed to lock in there, I haven't figured out how. It's wobbly, but since I don't have to touch it, I guess it's OK.I've got the tilt adjusted for work, where I sit up. But when watching a video, I lean back in my chair and it gets a bit dark.I am confused that my old 19-inch monitor seems to have sharper colors. This one's resolution is better, but not as crisp.All in all, I'll probably get another one to replace the 19-inch eventually.

So mine arrived with a bright spot on the monitor. It's this little spot that is slightly brighter than the rest of the screen. The pixels aren't dead, they're just brighter. It only shows up against a white background. It hasn't proven to be a dealbreaker for me, considering I've heard that there are so many things that could go wrong with this monitor that are much worse.I will say that I bought this to pair with a gaming desktop, and it does not disappoint. I'm no expert when it comes to the finer points of refresh rates and ghosting, but I can say that after testing every game in my Steam library (around 100), 1440p does not disappoint. Games are crisp and clear and the color is beautiful right out of the box. I have it sitting on a small desk where I am sitting relatively close to the screen, and its immersive to say the least.Bear in mind that you need a powerful graphics card to drive games at 1440p with decent settings. My desktop is equipped with a GTX 970 and it can handle most things, but you do find that maxing out newer games at 1440p can cause a certain degree of stuttering in the framerate (most notably The Witcher 3, but I stabilized it by turning off Hairworks...because it's Hairworks).I'm writing this review just to make it clear that this stand is flimsy. It rocks slightly when typing heavily to the point where it is simply annoying. I intend to buy adhesive strips to secure it to the desk, but that's not the most elegant of solutions.In short, you're getting the tech without the frills. Understand that those frills can make a big difference, and plan accordingly.

Decent monitor. You do get what you pay for with the price. I use AutoCad as a draftsman and this monitor is adequate for that however someone doing serious graphics may want to look elsewhere. Text is a little fuzzy and the color distorts at the slightest shift of viewing angle. The overall image appears to be slightly pixelated. The stand is a bit rickety also. The display is pretty shaky on the stand that it comes with. Any slight movement or even someone walking by my desk causes the monitor to shake. I would suggest purchasing wall or desk mount to add stability. No HDMI but that is not a big deal to me. You have to realize when you buy this that it is not a high end monitor. I works well for gaming and movies (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.) look pretty good. Overall a decent budget friendly monitor.

I like almost everything. It worked right out of the box. Wonderful! Its shortcomings are, the # sign is NOT the "upper case" 3. What is typed is the English currency pound sign. Was this keyboard made for England??? Another caveat is the @ sign. The @ sign is NOT the "upper case" 2. And, then it stands to reason, " (quote) is not on the keyboard next to the ENTER key.1. I figured out the @ and " were interchangeable. So when I am typing an e-mail address I use the " key, and when using quotes, I use the upper case 2.2. The # sign was ALL TOGETHER different. I was going to return the keyboard because I use lots and lots of # signs. I ACCIDENTLlY came accross the #. It was the back slash!!!!3. So where is the back slash???? Can someone help?? I don't want to return because I know this "happened" on three of these brand new boards. So it definitely is the board. Is there a way to change, is there a way to program and F key for the back slash (if I can find out where it is...)4. I will be calling the company tomorrow, wish me luck.

Works well with Ubuntu 17.04 once I installed the Solaar package. Otherwise only the mouse was paired with the unifying receiver. Solarr lets you pair multiple devices. It's available on github (posting a link here is not allowed). Keys are OK for an inexpensive non-mechanical keyboard. I would not do a lot of writing or programming but for casual use it is OK. Mouse is actually pretty good;: it even mostly works on glass (1/4", bottom surface frosted) but works better on paper or fabric. For the price, it's hard to beat.

I used to have a huge wireless keyboard and mouse (also by logitech). Had it for a few years, but it started to get crudded up. I tried to clean it myself, but then saw that this was available for cheap so I decided to get it. I like that it's light and fairly quiet. Seems pretty resistant to dust and dirt and crumbs so far. Not crazy about the small size of the mouse, though. This is like a kid's mouse. I need something that fits an adult hand (and I dont even have that big of a hand!).Not the greatest K&M combo in the world, but good for home use and the price is right.

This mouse uses a 2.4ghz signal. The same as a home wifi network. In our apartment building, there are a lot of competing signals and the mouse keeps being cut off. We have it hooked to my dad's Chromebox that he has hooked to the tv and uses from across the living room, so it's 10-15 feet away. It may work better if we'd use it for a computer right on the desk. The keyboard works wonderfully, though. I just bought a bluetooth mouse to replace this one and we aren't having any problems. I don't think there is anything wrong with the mouse, other than that it has the weakest signal.

This is the best keyboard ever since it is so simple and cheap. Don't care for the mouse. I like my Logitech MX Master. The Logitech MX Master can work on either Bluetooth or a Logitech Unifying receiver. The downside with this keyboard is that it has a proprietary USB dongle that only works with this keyboard. It seems like with the Bluetooth technology we have today that my MacBook Pro's Bluetooth antenna should be able to handle a simple keyboard. I like bluetooth only devices because my laptop only has 2 USB ports and when I bring it to work I don't want to have to plug a million things into it. I have my external monitor and my USB dongle for this keyboard. The bluetooth only keyboards that I have seen available are more designed for travel use and have weird layouts of the keys. The layout on this keyboard is perfect for my needs and is easy to type on, so I can't move on to anything else yet.

At $19 with batteries included this is a great value. The keyboard feels OK. It has an ON/OFF switch, but does not have an indicator light to show that it is ON. A light might help me remember to turn it off to save battery. It worked reliably from 30 feet away.The M185 mouse is OK. It's significantly lighter than my old Logitech M305 mouse, and has smooth plastic sides where the M305 has nice grippy sides. This M185 mouse has an On/Off switch, but has no indicator light on top, and the motion tracker on the bottom seems to use light outside my range of vision.It hasn't been an issue for me, but it seems like it might have been nicer if the keyboard and the mouse used the same size batteries. The Keyboard uses two AAA, the mouse uses one AA battery.

not what i think

ordered wrong item- was not what i needed it -returned it

works well!

It works fine to a computer, but didn't work when trying to connect an Xbox one to the DVI Port on the television. None of the resolution settings worked at all. To be clear, the cable does work, just not for what I was using it for.

This is a fine cord at a great price but I only give it 3 stars because of the Plastic protector piece on the HDMI side. The thing is built very sturdy, maybe too sturdy. The plastic sticks out about an 1/8 of an inch on all sides. That may not sound like much but if you have a tight space where the HDMI plugs in it may keep it from fitting. I ordered it to hook my daughter's Kano up to an older monitor and it connects, but barely. It comes detached every time I move the case or monitor.

I have an older rear projection hdtv @1080i, with DIV and component inputs. So I decided to go with a low cost HDMI to DVI cable. At almost 10 feet long for 13 bucks, I ordered one up. Shipping was fast, only 4 days on super saver. The cable looked and feels good, though very lite weight compared to a THX brand DVI to DVI cable that I bought for $100 5 years ago. Hooked it up to my sony Blu-Ray and the picture had green static, as if there was no red color, but my tv recognized a 1080i signal. Unhooked and checked both ends, for shmashed pins, all looked good. Hooked back up, same green picture with static. Wiggeling the cables on ether end did nothing that I could tell. Unhooked the DVI end and blew on it, hooked it up, Sucsess! the picture was clear, and crisp!.... for about a minute, then green static. Blew on the DVI end again, and same result. One of the pins on the DVI end was not getting a good connection. It was the single wide pin that made a poor connection. By bending that wide pin very slightly, solved my green static issue. Iv had been watching both DVD and Blu-Ray disks for a month with no image defects or interuptions. If you are having issues with your AmazonBasics DVI to "anything" cable or the like brands, the DVI end my be to blame. A slight tweeking of a pin may help.

The screens are okay. I was trying to hook up my co-worker with a dual monitor set-up, so I ordered two of these Acer 21.5" screens. We got them in and set them up. I ordered a dual monitor stand separately so I could mount the 2 screens on a stand. ANYWAY, got the screens out of the box and set them up to stand alone, since we were waiting another day on the Monitor mounting stand................. THESE SCREENS ARE NOT MADE TO BE MOUNTED -- BUYER BEWARE. It doesn't really tell you that in the product description. I tried to save $20 by finding these online myself... and it cost me $200 because they are capable of being mounted. Boxes were thrown away that night by office cleaners, so I cannot return. Just beware.............

I would say that the lack of instruction for assembling this screen base was disconcerting.The parts were shown but not how they were to be assembled...no pictures of how they went together. Of course I did get the base put together anyway. I am also not happy with the buttons for adjusting the screen to how you like it. No instruction for that either and after pushing all the three buttons, one at a time, I did get the window open, but it was confusing and did not seem to do much! I'm say that LACK of operational instruction is the worst thing about this product.

If you are looking for a cheap 1440p monitor that you can overclock the refresh rate then this is a great monitor. I manage to get mine to sit at 80hz no problem.There are a few issues though. If they weren't visual then I wouldn't dock too much from it but they are. I knew IPS monitors glare easily but I always assumed that the glare would come from something else. The glare on my monitor comes from the monitor. The position I sit causes the glare to show up near the bottom and a little on the top. The glare moves around as I move around. The fortunate part is this is only obvious when the background is dark and my brain eventually ignores it if I'm not paying too much attention to it.Second issue I have is depending on the window I can see the pixels when windows are moved. I tried switching ports, updating drivers, and etc.Thankfully this is only obvious with certain windows. The color of the window for Discord is perfect and when I move it around it's very obvious, but others it's very faint or I don't see it at all. If this changes in the future I will update my review.Do I recommend this? Yes. If you really want a 1440p monitor but don't want to shell out 500+ then this is perfect. Just don't expect the monitor to be perfect.

No VESA mounting holes? Seriously? Yes, I know it's stated in the specs, but every other monitor ever made has these mounting holes. And this wasn't an issue until the person I got them for, decided later that they wanted them raised on a monitor arm. I had to spent another $60 for adapters, and the whole thing looks like a complete kludge. (Check out Gladiator Joe for adapters.) This monitor also has a horribly narrow viewing angle. If you're not dead-on eye level with it, it gets all washed out, or dark, depending on the viewing height. Contrast in a well lit room is also poor. It's definitely a $99 monitor.

Very affordable monitor that looks pretty good overall. But the low price comes with some baggage. The screen is washed out at any viewing angle that is just a few degrees out of ideal dead-on. I had to set the monitor up higher than I had intended to because I couldn't always make out things like dialogue boxes on websites. Plus, my computer puts out the same resolution as this monitor displays native, and yet some text takes on a slightly blocky texture that normally only happens when you haven't matched output to native resolution. It is minor but it you are a perfectionist than you have no business looking at this monitor.

I bought this for $69.99 over Black Friday weekend as a second monitor. For the price I got it for, I guess I don't mind how shitty the monitor is. The screen has really really bad viewing angles. Moving my head half an inch in any irection changes how washed out the screen looks. I may also have gotten some light bleed on the bottom side of the screen. Currently it's selling for $89.99, definitely don't think it's worth that.My main monitor is an Acer H226HQL bid, and the side-by-side comparison really makes this monitor look bad. Colors look washed out, I tried playing with color calibration and brightness/contrast, doesn't really help. Only time this monitor looks similar to the main monitor is when my eye level is near my table, so maybe I just gotta tilt it upwards.Ugh. I think I might try to sell this on craigslist or something.p.s. will try to remember to upload photos

MODELS VARY - ** THIS REVIEW ** is of the bottom of the line 19.5" 1600 X 900 dpi G206HQL. I bought the bottom of this series on a whim as a backup monitor. One should always have a backup monitor eh? It was only $79.99. I had one of my security monitors die today, I finally unboxed the ACER G206HQLTHE GOOD: It comes with both VGA and DVI-D cables (aside from power supply and stand). It will tilt forward or backwards about (I'm guessing) 15 - 20 degrees.THE BAD: It's a cheap, lackluster display output. MAYBE it would look better of my video card on that system had DVI output. I find going from VGA to DVI gains about 10% of "snap" or better picture quality. This will be "something" for now, but even for my security camera output which is 3Megapixel, this is not true HD.Moral: You get what you pay for. There is no way this would work as a main , production monitor for business use (text legibility). Even casual surfing would be a bit tedious on this. Only buy this if you really don't care or are on a budget. Who knows maybe the ones up the ladder in this model series are a bit better? I can't speak to that.

It worked. The stand, as everyone has said, was flimsy plastic, but not as flimsy as I expected. It didn't feel like it was going to break. No dead pixels or anything, aesthetically pleasing design.The issue is the color quality. The colors are perpetually washed compared to other, even cheaper ips panels I've used. Investigating reveals the panel is a wide viewing angle equivalent of IPS, not real IPS.It's easily the cheapest 1440p monitor of its size, and it works. Those are the good points. Bad is the color. I sold it and bought a different monitor in the end.

PRODUCT ARRIVED DAMAGED. BEZEL DETACHED FROM SCREEN, AND LIGHT SHINES THROUGH. WTF.The reason I didn't give this less stars is because the screen is beautiful. Amazing colors, everything else is absolutely perfect.. BUT it came broken... I'm not sure if I will ask for a replacement or some money back.. I'm worried about asking for a replacement and receiving one in even worse condition than this one. I've read other reviews and heard terrible stories. So.. I'm not sure if sending this back, just to get another one that's even more broken (in a week or so from now) is worth it... I'll take pictures and attach it to this review tomorrow. Happy with everything aside from that.. So.. If you get a good one..Awesome. If not.. Well.. then it sucks.

This ACER monitor gets the job done at 2560x1440, though it does have some issues. A breakdown of my experience (I've been using it for two months as my primary monitor):Pros:-1440 resolution at an affordable price.-Good color reproduction.Cons:-The stand is terrible! If (as I do) you multipurpose your computer and do close up tasks (gaming, productivity) and far away tasks (movies) the ability to adjust the monitor angle is critical. On this monitor, you must grab the top of the monitor (HARD) and the base, and really work at making it move. Non-vesa, not easily adjustable.-Buttons are cheap and hard to actuate--including the power button.-The big silver bezel is...shall we say unattractive? I've had the monitor for a while and I still find it distracting.-Screen brightness is a little non-uniform. Not enough to really bother me, but it's definitely darker at the edges.Not really a con, but just FYI--this monitor does not overclock well.Would I buy it again? Honestly, the stand issue bothers me more than it probably should (probably because I have to adjust it so often). If you're a set it and forget it kind of user, this is a pretty good monitor for the price.

I ordered two of these monitors for a dual-screen work environment. They were only OK, not great. The two monitors had very different white balance, even for the same factory default settings. I tried to make them match, but couldn't quite get them looking the same. Also, both monitors had a very faint spot, in the exact same place, where the picture was a little brighter than the rest of the monitor. I ended up returning these monitors and spending a little extra for a better monitor. I am going to be staring at these things 40 hours a week, after all.

As expected, based on the price, the keyboard and mouse are both lightweight and cheap. However, I like the feel of the keyboard. It's keys are more "old school", which I definitely prefer over the lower profile types. The mouse is pretty poor, though. The plastic edges of the lighter color band wrapping around the top of the mouse can be felt, so it doesn't feel smooth in the hand and will certainly pick up hand grime. The roller indents are not quite solid enough. The sensor is too sensitive, so that when I pick the mouse up to reposition it the screen pointer moves more than my old Logitech mouse so I have to pick it up higher before putting it back down. Worse, the sensor seems to be slightly misaligned compared to other Logitech mouses I've owned, so that it wants to move at a slight angle when I move it straight up. Again, I've had several other Logitech mouses and never had a problem. I purchased two of these MK270 units and the problems are the same on both. Lastly, the two that I received did NOT come with the unifying receiver. I've decided not to send both back because of this (although I AM sending one back because the keyboard itself was defective). Because I like the keyboard so much, I'm going to keep it and use it alongside an old Logitech mouse and deal with two dongles.

Reliable and well shaped. Would have graded it higher, but the keys are somewhat stiff with too high a travel--typing is work, compared to the Microsoft keyboard, for example. But the price is right, and having the separate input devices increased the useability of my notebook over a full workday enormously from an ergonomic viewpoint, especially in tandem with a standing desk. If you can live with the harder keys. this is an excellent buy for notebook users who have to work long hours, and a much cheaper alternative to a separate monitor--just elevate the computer to ideal eye height, and leave the keyboard and mouse on the desk.

While the combined keyboard and mouse offered here at Amazon is a great deal (especially when I picked it up as a part of a PrimeDay Special), the keyboard itself is excellent while the mouse is a disappointment. The keyboard has a large, spacious layout with slightly textured keys. I absolutely love it. The feedback is perfect too. While I don't use the additional "shortcut" buttons on the very top of the keyboard, the on/off switch above the number pad is convenient and saves battery life. Other keyboards I've used in the past included a switch on the bottom, if at all.Again, the mouse is a disappointment however. It is both too small and ergonomically awkward to use for my slightly large, male hands. Scrolling with the center wheel stutters up and down documents and pages when browsing online instead of the smooth, natural scrolling of my former mouse. In all, it works to point-and-click around a screen but is more annoying than its worth. If your hands are tiny, this may work for you. Otherwise, purchase the keyboard separately and look elsewhere for a mouse.

I was satisfied with the build quality of both pieces of this set (as expected given experience using Logitech products over the years); I received the non-Unifying-receiver version and experienced what seemed to be interference (I work in an office with numerous wireless devices operating on various frequencies). Could potentially also have been a power issue as it sometimes seemed one or both units would power down or enter a sleep mode; fresh batteries did not change this nor could I discover any setting that would affect it. I reluctantly returned this. I suspect the Unifying version would work for me as I subsequently began using a Logitech mouse with Unifying receiver and have experienced no issues.

I really wanted to like this, but I frequently have the same problems some others have reported with this keyboard. It really lags sometimes.In other words, I type in a few characters (doesn't matter which application, same behavior in Word, Firefox, Notepad, etc) and then wait several seconds for the letters to show up on the screen.The mouse works great, even when the keyboard isn't doing so well.The fact that the mouse keeps working while the keyboard lags, combined with the observation that the keyboard sometimes gets a lot better after I turn it off/on, leads me to believe that this is most likely not a wireless conflict with my 2.4 Ghz wireless USB interface. I think it's just a problem keyboard.Update: I used a USB extension to put the USB connector closer to the keyboard and have had no problems since. Updating to 3 stars.

I love this mouse and keyboard combo. The keys are soft-touch and low-profile, so my wrists don't hurt after hours of use. My only complaint is that sometimes the mouse's scroll-wheel just.. doesn't work. It rolls, but the computer doesn't think it's doing anything. This has happened while browsing the web, in Office applications, and most notably in video games. Sometimes it starts working again on its own, and sometimes I have to restart the software or reboot the computer. Very intermittent but weird. I've never had this issue with Logitech wireless mice, so not sure if mine is just a dud. I still love this combo though, the issue isn't serious enough to warrant a return.Update at 8 months: The mouse's scroll-wheel continued to randomly stop working, and then the mouse started failing entirely. I replaced the batteries so that's not the issue.. it just stopped working. Turning it off and on again fixed the issue a couple of times, but now it doesn't work at all. I have another logitech wireless mouse (stand alone) that has been working for far longer, so I don't know if this is just an issue with the combo mouse or if I just got a dud.

It works good but ALL the DAMN computer cables are TOO DAMN thick & STIFF & too longMy absolute HATE is crappy stiff too stiff too long connecting wires.There should only be the ONE electric wire coming out of each computer and accessories.Get on it all you geniuses.But I am too old to see it happen.

The product is perfect; it is what it is supposed to be. Nice length, solid build quality, and everything else that a cable needs to be. But for me, I guess I just got unlucky because my second monitor would just go black randomly. It's been doing it ever since I started using the cable; that is, from the very beginning. So, after finally guessing that it's not my laptop's graphics card nor my monitor, I could only assume it was the cable. Lo and behold after switching cables I have not experienced a random black screen as of yet. Not every cable is perfect and sometimes they just don't work right. But this was a waste of my money as a college student that could've went to food or something; I've no one to blame for that, though. It is also somewhat annoying and frustrating to have your monitor go out at the most random of times while typing a paper or doing something rather important. Either way, great product, great price. I just got shafted with a faulty cable.

I bought this cord because i wanted to duel monitor my desktop.. I had my 32inch monitor on a VGA to VGA connection before and the graphics were great..when I got this cord I wanted to use this as my main screen with the 32inch and use a 22 inch screen as my second screen with the VGA connection..Well, the picture with this cord on my 32inch looks like s*** and my 22 inch with the VGA cord looks great :/ Maybe its something that i need to adjust? idk..I have googled and adjusted everything i can think of and nothing makes it look better..Could it be a defective cord?

I bought one of the these in Nov 2011 and another in Mar 2013. The first one worked for a little more than a year. The second one worked for a little more than 2 years and started to fail in the past month or so. When this cable starts to fail, the monitor goes black and you have to randomly move the cable around until the picture comes back and then you have to make sure you don't touch the cable, or else the monitor will go black again and you have to re-wiggle the cable again until the monitor comes back on.The problem gets worse over time. I suspect there is a short somewhere inside the cable.What might cause the short? My theory: In the HDMI end, I have to pull on the cable to remove it from my laptop's HDMI port because I have other stuff plugged in to the ports next to the HDMI port. There isn't a good place to pull on the cable shell (to avoid stressing the cable), so I have to pull on the cable itself. My guess is that the problem I'm experiencing is caused by squeezing and pulling the cable at the HDMI end too many times. I've given up on this cable and just bought a different cable (ASIN #B004S4R5CK) that has a larger/sturdier shell that I can grab to remove the cable instead of pulling on the cable directly.

I bought this cable to connect an HDMI port a Windows 7 PC to a monitor with an available DVI input. I could see the BIOS output and the 'loading Windows' splash screen, but when Windows came up, I could get no output. I had to connect to the computer's VGA port to see anything; when I ran the Control Panel display app and the Intel graphics tools, they didn't know what the monitor was and what resolution it supported. What I think is going on is that the cable is not passing EDID information to the computer. That makes this cable not a fit for what I need, despite the text saying it was reversible. I had another cable that I was able to repurpose and that works fine for the same connection.

I use this to connect my laptop dock to my monitor, which happens to be a 4k Seiki. Maybe it's my dock's output, or maybe it's the cable (I've tried two now), but the display works most of the time but cuts out upon occasion. Also, I see some visual artifacts (almost snow-like) on part of the display, especially noticeable where it should be black. When I use a straight HDMI<->HDMI cable plugged directly into the laptop (instead of the dock) it works flawlessly. I'd rather not have to plug in the HDMI cable as it makes undocking more of a pain, but I can't have the display cutting out at random points since it takes about 10s for it to come back which is quite frustrating and causes the OS to become confused about what displays are available. Maybe I wouldn't have problems with a lower resolution, but for my specific purpose this cable didn't work out.

Was really disappointed that this monitor didn't have VESA holes. While the description did say VESA mount sold separately, I didn't realize that it didn't have any VESA holes to attach the mount to. So I bought this monitor and a VESA mount only to realize that I needed a special VESA adapter for this monitor to mount it to a VESA Compatible mount ( The VESA Adapter is ugly).For those only interested in the monitor, the screen itself is great and I don't have any problems with it and would rate it 4 out of 5 stars. I would recommend a bigger monitor for those that can get one, but for the size and price of this monitor it is really good. Home owners should find this monitor great. Business users, I would recommend buying one with VESA holes so you have the option of mounting it properly.

These monitors are pretty low quality (washed out blacks and blown out whites), so there's really no way to recover the color saturation quality due to how cheapy they are.Tasks this monitor is good for:Browsing the webTasks this monitor is not good for:Watching moviesGraphic designWeb developmentAnything that requires color accuracyI looked for help online that would tell me how to correct the color, but I couldn't find anything.If you're just wanting a monitor for the sake of having a monitor, this definitely works. However, if you do any sort of design, development, graphic design or any other task that needs color quality, I wouldn't recommend this monitor.I gave it 2 stars, because I don't think this monitor is meant to be great, but it's definitely priced out of its category. I'd recommend a $99.00 price tag for a monitor like this.

Viewing angles are terrible, and color reproduction is mediocre at best. I wanted to love this monitor, but I've just had to sell it to upgrade to the HP Pavilion 25xw, and couldn't be happier with the decision. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on something better. If you don't know about IPS (like I didn't), do yourself a favor and read about it BEFORE assuming you're getting an awesome deal. You'll be disappointed if you try to look at this monitor at any angle other than a dead-on shot (or close to it).

Uneven brightness & contrast from top to bottom. Got it today and tinkered with adjustments, I'm very familiar with monitors and I have an Acer I like, but THIS one's going back on day 1. The top third of the monitor is great. It has the right amount of contrast and rich colors. The middle is a little flat and the bottom third of the monitor is unacceptably flat and "blown out" bright.This has nothing to do with viewing angle or monitor adjustments. This monitor is simply uneven in brightness and contrast from top to bottom.

Bought the 21.5-inch model (G226HQL) to add a display to my early 2008 iMac. Works with the mini-DVI to DVI adapter. Unfortunately, the backlight bleed is just terrible. Viewing angle is such that if you aren't perfectly in the sweet spot, blacks will quickly turn to gray. It's so bad I'm wondering if this is a defective monitor.Either way, it is being returned in favor of Acer's H226HQL. What a difference. Nice, inky blacks and crystal clear text. Viewing angle is fantastic. In fact, it is a significant improvement over the iMac's screen (which has aged well). If you can spare a bit extra, I very much recommend getting the H226HQL over the G226HQL. The only potential drawback is the H226HQL has a glossy screen. I'm used to it (iMac is the same), but for those operating in bright spaces and viewing dark material, consider something else (though not the H226HQL...it's bad).

The polarization on the screen is just terrible. I always have to sit at a specific angle in order to see true colors - but also with that in mind, because it's a large screen, some areas will be true-colored, and the other side will still look polarized. This is an awful detriment to someone either working with design (like myself), or even as simple as wanting to sit back and watch a movie (I sit in one position, it's fine.. turn to my other side, the coloring is absolutely off).Also, I know the description said it had no HDMI ports, so I went into it fully aware - but the input options are still very lacking. Everyone else is commenting on the tilt, and I have to say- it is a problem for me as well. Even though it is doable, it isn't convenient, and having to constantly adjust because of the polarization makes this monitor too much work for its worth. Two stars because of the price, and because it actually works. But I'm probably going to sell this soon.

I purchased a pair of these monitors as a cheaper alternative to the Dell 25" monitors I have at work. As far as I can tell these use the same panel as the Dell 25" 2560x1440p Ultrasharps and they were around $80-$100 cheaper. The display and color reproduction is AMAZING. I do a ton of development and moving from a TN panel to an IPS panel made a world of difference and the higher resolution means more code on screen. The display also had NO stuck pixels at all.So why does it get 2 stars? Well, the devil is in the details. Whoever made the panel (I didn't look it up, is it samsung? Someone else?) gets 5 stars, but Acer's implementation of it gets 1 star. The bezels are popping off the sides, causing light to bleed through outside the panel (I noticed this after the return period, otherwise I would have returned them...also the issue is NOT caused by the VESA adapters/mount that I mention below, it happened ). I dare not attempt to RMA these monitors. Back when I first purchased them I couldn't even find a page for this model on Acer's site. I've also heard horror stories (after purchasing, of course) of users receiving DOA units as replacements from Acer when RMAing various products.Also, the monitors are not VESA compatible. Recently I found out how important this is when I decided I wanted a monitor mount in order to make more room on my desk. The only way I could find to make these things work with the mount was to buy a 3rd party adapter (which has it's own flaws) for each of the monitors...2 of these totaled $83 which put the price quite a bit closer to the dell monitors I mentioned earlier.I'm still begrudgingly using these monitors, but I do not recommend them and I've decided, after 2 generations of monitors, I will never buy anything ACER branded again.

These monitors are pretty low quality (washed out blacks and blown out whites), so there's really no way to recover the color saturation quality due to how cheapy they are.Tasks this monitor is good for:Browsing the webTasks this monitor is not good for:Watching moviesGraphic designWeb developmentAnything that requires color accuracyI looked for help online that would tell me how to correct the color, but I couldn't find anything.If you're just wanting a monitor for the sake of having a monitor, this definitely works. However, if you do any sort of design, development, graphic design or any other task that needs color quality, I wouldn't recommend this monitor.I gave it 2 stars, because I don't think this monitor is meant to be great, but it's definitely priced out of its category. I'd recommend a $99.00 price tag for a monitor like this.

Died in just over 1 year. Further, I had problems with stability and being able to work over a remote login from the beginning. The screen would flicker, and it seemed that the computer nor the monitor could sync up. Working on it just to read emails probably not worth the price, nor do you get much benefit form the high resolution (my computer could handle the resolution, but my eyes could not tell the difference).

I really liked this monitor at first, the size and quality are both very nice. I bought it specifically for gaming and I feel it did a great job.However, after using it for a few months I noticed a dead pixel... and then another one... and then another one.Now, after about 11 months it has at least half a dozen, not all are noticeable all the time, but they are definitely bothersome, not enough that I'm ready to throw down money for a new monitor, but enough that I regret not having bought a different brand.Can't say I've ever had this issue before with an LED monitor, especially not one of this age, so I have to say I'm pretty disappointed there.

I've had a bad past with Acer. From three laptops, a desktop, and two monitors... well, I should have learned my lesson a long time ago. But when you have a gift card and really want a monitor just under 100 dollars, you take what you can get.There are no HDMI ports, and my computer doesn't have VGA or DVI so I had to do some converting. Out of the box and I couldn't use it. I went through 3 adaptors before I had one that worked with this temperamental monitor. When I finally found an adaptor that worked, the monitor worked for a month when it stopped displaying 1920x1080. So not only did it originally take a few days to get the monitor to properly display 1920x1080, but I didn't have long to enjoy it before it would only display 1024x768. No amount of settings, no adaptor, would settle this thing. And trust me, I dug around all parts of the internet to figure out why my monitor would not display its proper resolution--I dug through settings on my computer that should never really be touched. Nothing changed. So now it's just my expensive paperweight.Since I used an adaptor, I can't comment on clarity of the monitor, but from the little time I used it the clarity seemed pretty nice. I just need to learn to stop buying Acer...

Bought this monitor on Amazon the end of May, so I have had this monitor a bit over two months. Colors are fair, and the controls are somewhat easy to work with but are hidden underneath right area. I do not recommend this monitor if you are using it for graphics (PSD, Illustrator, etc.), video editing, etc. I have already developed a cluster of dead pixels in the top right area of the monitor, which makes using Photoshop frustrating because of the black dots (dead pixels) showing up on photos.Construction of this monitor is mediocre, too. Save your money towards a better, higher-quality monitor.

I purchased a pair of these monitors as a cheaper alternative to the Dell 25" monitors I have at work. As far as I can tell these use the same panel as the Dell 25" 2560x1440p Ultrasharps and they were around $80-$100 cheaper. The display and color reproduction is AMAZING. I do a ton of development and moving from a TN panel to an IPS panel made a world of difference and the higher resolution means more code on screen. The display also had NO stuck pixels at all.So why does it get 2 stars? Well, the devil is in the details. Whoever made the panel (I didn't look it up, is it samsung? Someone else?) gets 5 stars, but Acer's implementation of it gets 1 star. The bezels are popping off the sides, causing light to bleed through outside the panel (I noticed this after the return period, otherwise I would have returned them...also the issue is NOT caused by the VESA adapters/mount that I mention below, it happened ).

I ordered this monitor because I bought a monitor from Acer before and was very pleased with it. It was part of their H6 series. So naturally I thought Acer wouldn't let me down with this monitor. That was a big mistake.I received the monitor, set it up, plugged it in, and turned it on. I was immediately met with disappointment. The colors looked washed out! The blacks looked grey! The resolution did look fine though. That is the only reason it gets 2 stars.I was confussed. When I plugged in my previous monitor that I purchased from them it was perfect and needed no adjustments to look good. I second guessed myself. I thought, "Ok well sure when I adjust the settings it will look fine." I adjusted the contrast and brightness and literally noticed barely any difference between 0 and 100.There is really nothing else to say. I am not going to pay this much for a monitor that promises quality that I didn't receive. Needless to say, I sent it back for a refund.

As a previous reviewer noted, there are two versions of the mk 270. This was listed as being a unifying receiever model, but I received a nano receiver that is not a unifying receiver. Since I don't have other logitech products I'm trying to sync, I don't care too much, but this is not how the listing advertising this product.That being said, the product seems to work pretty well -- the keyboard is decent for a $20 keyboard, the mouse is a little small but works, set up was painless, etc. Worked well with my cranky old desktop upgraded to W10 last year.

The mouse works fine, the keyboard is iffy. Some keys seem to work all the time, others are pretty spotty, and the direction arrow keys simply quit for no apparent reason whatsoever. Until they come back on for no apparent reason whatsoever. I've used Logitech for ...it seems like decades... and have never had a problem until now. (So of course I threw away the box... because I'm a dork.) So ... it's mine now until I buy another... soon...and then it's off to my growing pile of electronic recycling. Bah, humbug.

It was hard to finalize a rating for this product for a number of reasons, because for some people it might be worth 5 stars, but I'll briefly explain why it's only worth 2 to me.First, I will say that the mouse and keyboard work well and feel sturdy enough, especially for the price. My main two issues though can be summed up by the fact that the product listing is misleading and in fact incorrect.Issue 1 - The mouse is better suited for travel and is definitely not full size. This was never mentioned in the listing and might steer people elsewhere for this type of purchase, especially when buyers are specifically looking for full sized 9 key keyboards as a pairing.Issue 2 - The main reason I settled on this combo unit is because it was represented as containing a Logitech Unifying Receiver, which it clearly does not. This is a deal breaker for me and will cause me to return this product.

My wife purchased the Logitech Wireless Combo Mk520 With Keyboard and Mouse for her home office, and loves it. I needed a keyboard/mouse combo for work, so I purchased the MK270, a cheaper version. Well, it is definitely cheap. The keyboard has frozen mid-typing, the backspace, delete, and arrow keys have a tendency to stop working as well. I changed the batteries and even relocated the PC tower so that the USB transmitter is in line-of-sight with the keyboard - still having issues. It's cheap, only $20, but I am considering returning it.

Updated Review (8/18/2014) - I cannot stand the delay from the keyboard to computer. I have officially snapped and will not be using or recommending this product due to the delay. I keep my keyboard off when I'm not using it (when the computer is off and I'm not at my desk) but when I don't type on it for a minute and go to type, I expect it to type, not delay 20 seconds and still not use all the letters I typed in. It might start working after 45 seconds of frustration and wearing patience.Original Post (8/4/2014) - 3 Stars: I absolutely hate the delay from the keyboard to the computer. Sometimes it's sporadic but can take up to 20 seconds before it catches up. I am considering going to a wired keyboard or trying a different one because of how frustrating this is. I've only been using the keyboard for about a week and a half.

I ordered it on 3/23 from Amazon and received a couple of days later. To my surprise, the box doesn't say "unifying receiver". Took the keyboard/mouse out - yes indeed the receiver only says "Nano Receiver", and it doesn't have the orange star unifying logo. I also installed Logitech Unifying software but this receiver is not recognized.UPC/Product ID all match. Appears Logitech changed the product. Amazon needs to change the product description.If you are looking for a unifying receiver to work with other logitech products, don't buy this.Update - Amazon sent me a replacement, and this time it comes with Unifying receiver. UPC and product ID printed on the boxes are identical, packagings are slightly different. One has "Unifying receiver" clearly printed on the box and feature list and the other one doesn't.http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B00BP5KOPA/ref=cm_cr_dp_cust_img_see_all_img0Keyboards and mice are also different. One set both have orange star unifying on the label and the other set don't. Product IDs are different too.

I ordered this and only used it probably 3-4 times before it failed completely. The last time I successfully used it, one of the bolts that screw into the video card to secure it, broke off in the video card and had to be removed.The next time I tried to use it, the side that the bolt had broken on had began coming unglued from the plastic housing, exposing some internal wires. I decided to attempt to use it again and couldn't get a video signal. It was then that I saw both sides had become unglued and the connector was only holding on to the plug housing by the delicate internal wires, 2 of which I could see had become dislodged from their solder joints making this useless.Now I have to find a replacement but I doubt I will use another Amazon basics cord after this epic fail! It's caused me alot of problems now and I am losing work time because of it. They should send me a new one for free!

Unlike most things from Amazon, this thing did not work at all. The description advised that it would work either way, DVI source to HDMI input or vice versa but it did not function at all from DVI to a HDMI input.On the plus side, and yet another reason why I use Amazon so much, Amazon refunded me the purchase price without even wanting the item returned and with no issue at all.

this is the second time that this cable has been replaced, the first one lasted 6 months. this one has lasted 3 years. sadly i still do not know why the cable malfunctions. i have tested both of them on several computers and IT IS THE CABLE. the issue can be anywhere from it being bent to just the prongs not working too well. i have taken very good care of these cables and somehow they still don't work. i will not buy another one because this has been a waste of money.

This cable did not work for our EDTV (pre- today's "standard" HDTVs). We did get picture, but the aspect ratio was strange and the settings were not able to be set properly to use the cable for intended purpose. Amazon was, as usual, extremely accommodating with the return.

Be very careful with this cable. UNLESS I happened to get a faulty one, this does NOT work. I bought a brand new HP Pavilion desktop computer that has a VGA and HDMI video output only. My HD monitor, has VGA and DVI inputs. I read the reviews and questions answered on this item and it seemed to be exactly what I needed. I connected my previously working monitor to the brand new computer and the monitor flashes, then is dead. Permanently. I tried another known good monitor..."no signal detected on any port". As I said, maybe I got a bad cable. Be careful! Fortunately, it can and will be returned. Caveat emptor.

This cable never works for my macbook pro retina with a hdmi output to a viewSonic 1080p monitor with a dvi input. The product description in the image is just misleading!. In the word description it says dvi output to hdmi input.I didn't realized this until a friend told me the reason today. I was not able to return this product or resell it on amazon. So disappointing!

I'm not a content creator, photo/video editor, or other enthusiast. With that in mind, this monitor is totally unacceptable to me. It has so many good reviews that I though it was a slam dunk. After playing with color calibration for the last couple hours, however, I have decided to return it. There is no possible way to calibrate or adjust this monitor to make up for the fact that the Gamma is horribly horribly out of whack.I searched the reviews for this monitor and, lo and behold, I am not the first person to notice this problem. If you use the Windows color calibration utility, turning the Gamma slider completely down is NOT enough. Did a bit of digging and found a response on here from Acer, stating that the Gamma can only be adjusted on the monitor itself it is plugged in via VGA... Seriously?The picture is ludicrously bright and washed out. I'm not sure how advanced a user you need to be for this to drive you crazy, obviously many people have no problem with the blinding default brightness. In my estimation, if you've ever run the windows color calibration program, you are too advanced a user for this monitor and you WILL notice.Wish I would've read a critical review before I wasted my time, but I probably wouldn't have taken it seriously in the face of all the 5 star reviews. Well, add my voice to those who are severely disappointed.

Arrived only partially functional. It would show the "Energy Star" logo when powered on, and then nothing. No display, nothing when you hit the function buttons on the bottom, nothing when you input a signal from a monitor to the DVI port.What really convinced me that this is a poorly made the monitor is that the function buttons are located on the bottom and are not labelled at all. They are just little black buttons with nothing on them. They are not described in the manual. Don't even know which button worked for what, and they did nothing when I pushed on them.Acer - why would you add a bunch of unlabelled black function buttons that aren't even described in the manuals? Why would you even ship a product that shows a complete lack of engineering oversight?

Viewing angle and where eyes are relative to the monitor makes a big difference with contrast. The lower you view the monitor (straight on view, so raise or lower your chair/monitor) the more clarity and contrast. Normal view angle like my other Dell monitor is set up (center of monitor) results in almost washed out colors with the Acer monitor (black is more grayish). If straight on view puts your eyes in the bottom 1/3 of the Acer screen, it seems to be OK. Mine is currently on top of a 1-inch block to get the optimal viewing angle, and it is almost acceptable. Does not compare with higher end/more expensive makers and/or models, but I guess you get what you pay for. Not sure if I'll be returning or not yet.Update: In the end, could not handle the inconsistency from top to bottom, lack of crispness, and washed out colors. My eyes actually hurt after trying to use last night. Returned unit today (UPS just picked up).

This is an extremely cheap monitor, and you get what you pay for. The screen colors are very washed out, but most disturbing is the periodic flickering that the screen does every few minutes. This monitor was definitely not made to last, and I would never recommend buying this. Amazon should pay me for the inconvenience of having to return this piece of garbage.

A bad viewing angle combined with a short stand makes it not possible to get the full benefit of a color display. Everything looks faded. Compared to the display of my laptop with a screen half the size there is really little benefit to the larger screen since the resolution is the same. It just looks faded on the Acer display. The good features is lightweight and slim, which is nice since I travel with it. But, with the poor viewing angle it is not use-able. Improve the viewing angle!!! The stand is short and it does not tilt sufficiently so that you can see the display straight-on so it looks faded. So, in brief, it is not possible to get the full rich color that the display has to offer.

I had ordered the Acer G226HQL Bbd 21.5" model. Something you should be aware of, which isn't mentioned in the description, are the horrible viewing angles. I don't know if it's different for the other sized models (and unfortunately Amazon lumps all the reviews together), but the viewing angles for this model are a pitiful and substandard 90° H x 50° V. I've never seen viewing angles that low. The bottom half of the screen was completely washed out. The only way to possibly make it usable would be to place it on top of a shoebox to make it eye level since it sits so low (there's no height adjustment) and you can't mount it (no VESA mounts).Save your money and find a different monitor with better viewing angles. There are better options out there for the same price that will have a more common 170/160 viewing angle. For $20 more than what is currently being charged for it (glad I didn't pay that much), I instead opted for the IPS panel Dell P2014H that has far more features (height adjust, rotation, VESA mounts, USB ports). You get what you pay for. Sorry Acer.

I purchased this Acer G236HL Bbd 23-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor for my sister from Amazon on April 17, 2016 after her ancient 19" Viewsonic died.In October of 2017, the Acer 23" monitor started not waking up from power save mode, requiring the power to be shut off and back on before it would display an image. Then a few days later, it started shutting itself off randomly; it didn't seem to be linked to how long the monitor had been on, and it didn't seem to be getting hot ... just shutting itself off. Now, it will only display for a few seconds before powering off.And of course this happens 6 months after the warranty expires. Murphy's law of crap products.I've bought many Acer products over the years; including probably 9 Acer flatscreen monitors for myself and for others, and the laptop I bought my son this summer (Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575-33BM 15.6-Inch FHD Notebook (Intel Core i3-7100U 7th Generation , 4GB DDR4, 1TB 5400RPM HD, Intel HD Graphics 620, Windows 10 Home), Obsidian Black). I've generally been more happy happy than not.But this is the shortest time to monitor crap-out I've ever seen, including cheap refurbished models, one of which is still going after 10 years. I don't think I'm buying any more Acers.

I had to send this one back. While I understand that you will never get two monitors to match, particularly if they were of different brands, the color on this was so washed out that it was completely unworkable. No amount of calibration by me or my IT professional was able to fix it. There was no true black, only a charcoal gray, and no true white. The closest I could get was a old-paper cream color. It was so distracting, I don't think I could have used it on a single monitor setup. I understand there are some serious quality control issues with this monitor, but even for a cheapo, the quality was completely unacceptable. Disappointing from Acer.On the plus side, Amazon's tech support was excellent, and didn't make me repeat any of the things I already did before issuing a return approval.

after 8 months of use, the monitor stopped working. It turns on, but it doesnt display anything. i made sure it wasnt anything else on my pc. even checked other monitors and they all worked except this monitor. really sad because the picture quality is insane but cannot give it a good review if it wont last especially at the price

Poor quality... I have had issues with Acer products in the past. While Acer offers to take care of the product service, they expect you to pay the return shipping which on a 24-inch monitor is around $30. When a new monitor only costs $100 it is more worth my time to just spend the money for a reliable brand. This monitor fails to turn on after 1 year of light use. I will never buy another Acer branded product again and encourage anyone to take their business elsewhere.

Acer refused to replace defective power supply after only a few months and <200 hours of operation. Even though it was an obvious issue with "Materials and Workmanship," customer service was dismissive.

Update 3/5/2016: I returned both Acers and instead purcahsed the ASUS VS239H-P 23" Full HD 1920x1080 IPS HDMI DVI-D VGA Back-lit LED Monitor instead, best purchasing decision I have ever made.Original Post: I purchased this monitor as a replacement for my old Acer G235H due to a small line of dead pixels appearing after happily using the monitor for 6 years. That model was no longer available but the G236HL came up as a successor in my search. I decided to purchase this monitor due to the high ratings, many from PC gamers as well. When I received my first unit I was sad to see the enormous amount of back light bleeding, everything was washed out, not just the edges but the 100% of the screen. The pics attached show the new unit on the right and my old unit on the left. I tried everything from adjusting the brightness, contrast and applying every auto setting by Acer, nothing fixed it. I figured this is a single incident as it is not unusual for LCD monitors to have some back-light bleeding. I requested a replacement and just opened the 2nd unit...SAME ISSUE! Returning both and looking for a monitor that offers true, or close to true, blacks.

Why would you even ship a product that shows a complete lack of engineering oversight?

Monitor went out exactly 6 weeks later. Called Acer, I have to pay to ship this back and they will repair it and then ship it to me. I am sorry, but a product that isn't even 3 months old should be shipped to and from at the cost of Acer. This is the first I have had to deal with anyone when something is under warranty to pay to ship it back especially something under 3 months old. I purchased 5 of these and probably would have bought more, (well I know I would have) but with situations like this, I'll pass on Acer from this point forward.

This is a cheap piece of junk. The keyboard feels cheap, but that was not the issue. At installation, the mouse didn't work. After installing new batteries and other troubleshooting, I tried a different USB port and it finally connected. Should have worked in any of the ports. Biggest issue for me is the right click to copy and paste doesn't work MOST of the time - very frustrating. Mouse feels cheap too. Logged in to Amazon to return and see that I missed the return window by a few days. After reading reviews today, I see that there a lot of complaints that are very recent, like mine. Makes me think we all got counterfeit products. Irritated that I cannot return and get my money back.

Simply disappointing: 11 months and 18 days of use and it simply stopped working.From good to dead and no; it is not the batteries.

Oh the irony... here I am, trying to write this review of this product, while using this product and the keyboard stalls (as usual) and my words come out as a jumbled mess. I really wanted to like this keyboard/mouse combo, given the glowing reviews left by other customers. I bought it and it worked well for about three months, and then totally stopped working. OK, so maybe I got a lemon. I contacted customer service and they sent me a new one, no problem. Well, it's been one month and the new one is only working intermittently. Bummer. The words I type in don't appear for 10 seconds sometimes. When I move the mouse, it jumps and jerks around the screen, and it's hard to select what I want to click on. So while the keyboard and mouse both look and feel nice, they really don't work very well.You know what they say -- you get what you pay for! Wish I had spent my money on something more reliable/higher quality.

Terrible. The mouse works fine, but the keyboard cuts out often. I'll be typing and suddenly, nothing's happening. Its not the computer as the mouse and applications continue to work. I use it daily and without fail, it stops working multiple times each day, sometimes for a few minutes at a time. It is incredibly frustrating, so much so that I dug my old wired keyboard out of the donate pile and am using that instead. Does not work consistently.

The mouse has NEVER worked. I have contacted them numerous times, they give pages of instructions as if I have not already unplug, tried in new USBs, changed to new batteries, worked a couple days to get the keyboard before getting it to work. Weeks later and they still won't ship me a new one. I've worked with computer since 1976 probably longer than they have been alive. SAVE YOUR MONEY!, DON'T BUY

I am extremely disappointed. This is the first Logitech product I've used that I have not been satisfied with. I own a Logitech webcam, wireless keyboard/trackpad, speakers, and prior to purchasing this set, I had a wired Logitech keyboard and another wireless Logitech mouse. I purchased this set as a Gold Box deal to replace those (the tabs on the wired keyboard had broken off over the years, and the wireless mouse's dongle no longer worked).Initially, this set worked great. However, about a month ago, the following occurred:The mouse, even with a brand new Duracell Quantum battery in it (chosen as the Sweethome's #1 disposable battery) will occasionally turn off. The only way to make it function again is either A. take the battery out of of, put it back in; B. turn the mouse off and on again; or C, unplug the dongle and plug it back it. This is very frustrating, as this can happen several times across the span of a few minutes. It is too late to try to return this product, but I'm going to look into a refund and purchase a different Logitech keyboard/mouse combo.To reiterate, Logitech makes wonderful, high quality products. I believe I either got a defect, or this product altogether is not up to par.
