Acer G257HU Smidpx

The Acer G257HU is an alright monitor for mixed usage. It has an excellent contrast ratio, but very bad black uniformity so it isn't a good choice for a dim room. The stand is mediocre and has almost no ergonomic adjustments, and it can't be VESA mounted. The IPS panel delivers good viewing angles and excellent gray uniformity.
