Abstract: Unlike some of the more boring monitors that make their way through our Labs, the Acer has a very distinct and eye-catching style. Even better it backs it up with excellent build quality and a strong set of features. The 27-inch Acer features an LED ba...
Relatively cheap 27inch offering, Power frugal, Large pixel pitch will help those who find themselves squinting at screens
No DVI port, Little adjustment of stand, 3.5mm in only functions with VGA port, Autoswitches input when machine goes to sleep, TN panel, Awful speaker, Annoying button placement, Display is overly sharp, Poor HDMI movie performance, Excessive backlight bleed, Comparatively poor pixel warranty, No quick input switching button
For AU$599, it's hard to be too unkind to the S273HL. Still, for a little more you could get the far superior U2711 — it all depends on your wallet.

Attractive, well-thought out design; great image quality, birght and vivid; large widescreen display
No DVI interface for older Mac models; no headphone socket built into the monitor
Our only minor complaints about the Acer S273HL are that there's no headphone socket built into the monitor, and that it doesn't quite live up to its claim of providing a 170-degree viewing angle. Even so, the strong image quality, stylish design, and twi...
A unique and attractive design sets the S273HL apart, and its LED backlights help it achieve brilliant contrast and good colour reproduction, but it's far too expensive. ...
Abstract: While panels over 20inches are becoming normal, 23inches is no longer regarded as large but this monster from Acer at a true 27inches must still qualify. Remembering the weight of my first 17inch monitor this panel is far less....
No DVI port; limited viewing angles; no height adjustment; ropey sound from built-in speaker
