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...

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...

DVI is a significant omission and the poor viewing angles are an issue, but the Acer S273HL is otherwise a reasonably capable 27in display. Its appeal will be influenced by the street price, though, since the RRP is steep compared to the competition....

The 27in Acer S273HL is a little too much quantity and perhaps not quite enough image quality. But it is aimed more at game-players and TV/film watcher than a general-purpose PC user. Robin Morris...

We're left to conclude that Acer's S273HL is targeting itself fairly clearly towards gaming and video use and in these environments it's very impressive, partly due to the sheer size of the display. “Casual” gamers or media...
