What customers say about "Features"

Acer G257HU Widescreen Monitor

The Slim Frame Design is a nice feature with about a 3/32" bezel on three sides.
The lack of a border is a nice feature that makes the screen seem larger.
Picture is very sharp and in focus. Good features.
Settings user interface is the same as higher-priced models so unavailable features appear on screen, but you cannot adjust them.
Very little features, quite minimalistic.

Acer G257HL Full HD Widescreen Monitor

Working great so far. Good color & contrast. Solid stand.
The stand is sturdy and the bezels are very thin.
The stand is sturdy, unless u live in an area with too many earthquakes you won't be having problems with it.
Great monitor with amazing basic features. The setup was simple.
The speakers on this one are tiny and sound pretty low with no bass at all, not good enough for music or gaming.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Acer G257HU Widescreen Monitor

This monitor is well equipped with DVI, Display Port, and HDMI ports. Good connect.
All connection types. Nice design. Good monitor.
Running a single monitor on DP works fine, so I connected one with DP, one with HDMI and one with DVI. This worked great.
The monitor comes with all the connection wires needed so you don't have to buy any.
My only complaint is that it cannot be connected through Displayport. This isn't a problem as I had an extra HDMI cable.

Acer G257HL Full HD Widescreen Monitor

That's a stunning deal for a 1080p of this size that comes with an HDMI and VGA cable. Great connectivity.
I like that it has the HDMI input for my work laptop.
Color clarity is excellent when I use HDMI port.
It has useful inputs and out at the back including: a HDMI, VGA.
With both HDMI and VGA inputs, I'm able to use my monitors for either work or home with very little effort.
