Acer Releases the BE270U Monitor - 27" WQHD IPS Panel

Raevenlord · Nov 8, 2016

Today, Acer released yet another entry into their monitor line - the BE270U. It packs a 27 inch, 2560x1440 IPS panel (which grants it the 178º viewing angles), boasting a 75 Hz refresh rate and 100% sRGB coverage. It also has a 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio over 350 cd/m2 of brightness, with a respectable 6ms response time. Additionally, the monitor also carries two 2 W speakers All of that is supported by what Acer calls an ErgoStand, which allows for 60º swivel, -5º and 35º tilt, and 90º pivot - though you can also wall-mount it if you so prefer. The BE27OU's connectivity options include DP, Mini-DP, MHLx2, and a USB 3.0 hub.

Acer is clearly positioning this monitor for professionals - from website designers to photographers - though it will certainly come in handy to any user who likes to dabble in such matters. The monitor also offers some multi-tasking capabilities, such as multi-streaming and PiP (Picture-in-picture). The BE270U is now available for an MSRP of $499, with a three-year limited (parts and labor) warranty.

nice, 2560x1440 @ 75hz, me likey.
Now I just want a 32 inch version

These are pretty nice specs. Everything that I was looking for as a transitional monitor until a single graphics cards can easily handle 4k content except for the refresh rate. I was hoping to get 100+ Hz. This is still very tempting though especially since it doesn't have a gaudy red design.

x1440, IPS, 75 Hz
that's a nice balance.
