Acer B286HK

The Acer B286HK is a reasonably priced 28-inch UHD monitor that delivers a highly detailed image, good gray-scale reproduction, and solid gaming performance. It's loaded with features, too, including an ergonomic stand, a USB hub, and advanced color...

Sharp Ultra-High-Definition (UHD) picture. Good gray-scale performance. Generous feature set. Fast pixel response.

Narrow viewing angles. Skewed greens.

Conclusion The Acer B286HK is an excellent choice for users who want to move up to a big screen UHD monitor, but don't want to spend $1,000 or more for the privilege. Granted, it doesn't provide the precise color accuracy and viewing angles that you...

A review of the Acer B286HK ymjdpprz 28-inch UHD 4K Widescreen Display with ErgoStand – B286HK, B326HK

The astonishingly sharp Acer B286HK ymjdpprz may have a rather bizarre model name that almost seems partly like something a cat came up with as it stepped across a keyboard but when it comes to quality, this 4K ultra HD monitor does deliver the goods...

Excellent refresh rate ; Great contrast ratio ; decent color gamut ; 16:9 aspect ratio great for gaming ; DisplayPort 1.2 ; Great angle viewing for TN monitor

loose monitor stand ; Angle viewing fails along bottom of screen in landscape ; Low quality speakers ; No DisplayPort 1.2 cable included ; No HDMI 2.0

For a budget 4K ultra HD screen, the Acer B286HK delivers in every important aspect of performance and is definitely worth the price its selling for. If you just want a gaming or conventional 4k content viewing monitor with 4K capacity, this is a fine...

Full 4K resolution ; Vibrant colors ; Simple, robust interface ; Helpful bells and whistles

Difficult setup ; Only two simultaneous inputs

The Acer B286HK offers gorgeous, accurate colors; full 4K resolution; and a plethora of display options at a reasonable price.

Acer B286HK

Well built and well connected with USB extension from computer to side of screen etc. All relevent cables, e.g. DVI, display port cable etc are supplied. Ubuntu is well set up to drive a 4K screen.

The display port cable provided could have done with being 1.5 m rather than just 1 m.

Acer B286HK

Lots of options for connectivity

Having only a hdmi and no display port means I can get a good 4k image at 30hz but there's a degree of lag. Possibly not the monitors fault and it's down to my laptop, but once your brain is used to it it's not so bad.

Nice Monitor when it works

If the new one work i would definitely recommencement this monitor it would be future proofing for a great price.

resolution is great. Stand is very stable and having all the cords included was very handy.

monitor was glitch y out of the box and spent several hour trying different things to get it to work semi properly. RMA it back and waiting for new one.

TERRIBLE GHOSTING / OVERDRIVE.

I would not recommand this monitor to anyone, and i'm thinking returning it.

-Gaming and playing movies in 4k is beautiful . Huge step over 1080p.

-1080p and less looks terrible on this monitor. (blurays are ok, but itunes movies in 1080p looks horrible) -HDMI 1.4 only....no hdmi 2.0 -GHOSTHING / OVERDRIVE -i had to replace the DP cable. My screen was flashing black time to time.

Went bad in 40 days. $400 lost.

I absolutely do not recommend this monitor. It's clearly trash, and several other reviews pointed this out as well. I was warned against Acer monitors from a handful of friends, but I "got a deal" on cyber monday so I took it. I should've stuck with...

Generally good colors, smooth animations, aesthetically fine.

It began flickering black horizontal lines and blocks about 30 days in (perfect timing, no longer eligible for return). I realized it had something to do with a connection inside the monitor because tilting it up and down would affect it. The...

So far so good!

Gaming at 4K is incredible. Smooth 60hz and fast response time. Surprisingly, I am not noticing any of the ghosting that other people have mentioned. In fact, it has less ghosting than my old 1440p 144hz Acer. I don't know if Acer has fixed this...

The obligatory speakers. But if you're buying a 4K monitor, you should have a decent set of speakers or headset. I can't imagine anyone buying this monitor intending to use the speakers as their main audio source.
