Acer 25" 60Hz IPS LCD Monitor IPS 4 ms DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort H257HU SMIDPX

Pros: Slim bezels
Metal stand
Good uniformity
Minimal IPS glow/bleed
Good black levels for an IPS display

Cons: Only adjustable for tilt
Wish it was glossy instead of matte (personal preference)

Overall Review: One of the lowest priced 2560x1440 monitors but simultaneously one of the nicest looking ones as well. 25" is almost the perfect size at this resolution being slightly sharper than a 27" and no need for scaling like on 4k panels.

I actually RMA'd the Acer S277HK 4K IPS monitor before this one due to bad light bleed, but this one (its little brother) doesn't appear to have the same issue. Highly recommend.

Pros: The monitor is beautiful. It is very stylish and looks great on a desk. It is a nice large screen.
It has a very nice clean image while the settings are as you want them.

Cons: Video cable connects at 90 degree angle to the unit making it more likely to be damaged.
I found the instructions for the setting buttons and their use to be unclear. A bigger issue is that it seems to sometimes just lose the settings and go back to Eco mode for no apparent reason.
There is no way to adjust the stand height but in fairness I knew that.
The concept of Blue Light to reduce eye strain sounds good in the literature however the reality is that it so dulls the picture that you won’t want to use it.

Overall Review: I would not recommend this monitor to a friend. I would not purchase another one.
