Good performance overall, Viewing angles are mostly good, Ergonomic stand, Four-port USB 3.0 hub, MHL-compliant HDMI port
Wobbly stand, 4K at 60Hz requires use of DisplayPort, Poor viewing angle when in portrait mode

Excellent refresh rate, Great contrast ratio, decent color gamut, 16:9 aspect ratio great for gaming, DisplayPort 1.2, Great angle viewing for TN monitor
loose monitor stand, Angle viewing fails along bottom of screen in landscape, Low quality speakers, No DisplayPort 1.2 cable included, No HDMI 2.0

Sharp Ultra-High-Definition (UHD) picture. Good gray-scale performance. Generous feature set. Fast pixel response.

The Acer B286HK is a reasonably priced 28-inch UHD monitor that delivers a highly detailed image, good gray-scale reproduction, and solid gaming performance. It's loaded with features, too, including an ergonomic stand, a USB hub, and advanced color sett...
