Great price for a great product
June 19, 2016
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
April 7, 2016
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!
Great monitor!
March 15, 2016
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!!
An Awesome Product!
January 26, 2016
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!
Great!
December 14, 2015
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.:)

November 16, 2015
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!!

Tonka Tested....Daddy approved!!
September 22, 2017
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.
August 23, 2017
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?
Amazing for the price
June 19, 2017
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.

July 1, 2016
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!
Worked Perfectly and Wireless!
March 16, 2016
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.
Plug in the USB gizmo and pull the tab on the batteries in the mouse and keyboard to get power, and Shazam! It works.
August 1, 2015
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.

So far, so good
July 5, 2017
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.
Great 1440p Monitor
January 25, 2016
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.
Acer Monitor
January 21, 2016
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?)
Overall good monitor for $89. If you are at all into photography, etc then consider upgrading to an Acer with better specs.
January 19, 2016
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.
Good monitor but no holes for VESA mounts and no HDMI
December 10, 2015
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.
Great deal, HD display, colors brighter, but has little washout issue.
December 1, 2015
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.

I like almost everything
October 8, 2017
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 with Ubuntu 17.04 Linux, good value for the $
September 23, 2017
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.
Good K&M combo for the average user in the average home
June 19, 2017
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.
Good, but...
April 20, 2017
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.
Best keyboard for the price.
June 24, 2016
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.
Great value for OK equipment
January 4, 2016
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.

This screen is NOT made to be mounted :(
October 10, 2017
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.............
Monitor ok, but company's lack of good instructions rather poor!
September 2, 2017
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.
Great beginner 1440p with overclocking refresh rate but glare that can be annoying.
April 1, 2017
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 holes and poor viewing angles
February 24, 2016
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.
Good for its price.
December 27, 2015
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.
Bad viewing angles, but it works
December 17, 2015
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

Good Keyboard - Lousy Mouse
October 6, 2017
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.
this is an excellent buy for notebook users who have to work long ...
August 8, 2017
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.
Excellent keyboard; terrible mouse.
July 28, 2017
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.
Received non-Unifying version; interference(?) issues made it unusable
April 15, 2017
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.
mouse great, keyboard great when it works, irritating when it doesn't

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.
Great keyboard, mouse failed at 8 months
January 25, 2015
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.

No VESA Holes Ugh.
May 10, 2017
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.
The Low End
April 18, 2017
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.
Got the job done for a few months.
May 30, 2016
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
May 15, 2016
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.
There are better options for just a bit more
March 4, 2016
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).
Looks good only at certain angles. And that's annoying.
January 19, 2016
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.

MK 270 -- not unifying receiver
August 22, 2017
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.
Bah, humbug.
August 22, 2017
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.
I will say that the mouse and keyboard work well and feel sturdy enough, especially for the price
April 25, 2017
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.
Poor connection, keyboard freezes and keys stop working.
February 3, 2015
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.
Keyboard to Computer Delay
August 4, 2014
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.
Be aware - two different versions out there
March 28, 2014
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.

Severe Brightness/Gamma Problems
June 16, 2016
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.
DOA, Very Poorly Designed
February 10, 2016
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?
Inconsistent color top to bottom, lack of color consistency, and washed out colors.
December 20, 2015
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).
Cheap... In a very bad way.
November 21, 2015
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.
Bad Viewing Angle
May 12, 2015
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.
Buyer Beware: Viewing Angles
March 17, 2015
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.

Cheap piece of junk, mouse didn't work at setup, right-click doesn't work to copy and paste
June 12, 2017
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.
11 months and 18 days of use and it stopped working
June 2, 2017
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.
Only worked for a few months
April 30, 2017
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.
Keyboard cuts out- Poor Quality
April 11, 2017
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.
Don't buy.
March 15, 2017
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
Mouse turns off at random
November 8, 2016
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.
