Acer has enjoyed creating a name for itself in the LCD screen market in recent times, and not so long ago we saw it digging into the touch display arena with the effective, if inherently instead determined T231H.Its most recent modify to the S3-series, the S273HL screen on test, is hardly a token effort and offers twenty-seven -inch of literal estate on with a hefty cost tag of a jot below £400.

What's initially disappointing about this high-end display is that it just has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080, which, while more than desirable for video and gaming utilize, does feel a small “clunky” at the 2 or 3 feet distance you'd require to view it from in a universal utilize environment.

The screen “razor-thin” depth of twenty-one mm is not precisely a figure you'd require to see Gillette highlighting in a selling campaign, but it's an impressively lightweight and slimline display nonetheless.
