This Monitors give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great Touch monitor with deep black
Just got this yesterday and it is superb. The touch interface with Windows 8 is fantastic. Windows 8 sucks less with Touch monitor. Hooked it up to a Sony S laptop that is hidden under a desk with no wires exposed, making this setup looks "almost" like an Apple designed monitor. Jon Ive would probably use this monitor if there was no Apple. I own 5 Macs in the house and 1 Windows 8 PC. I used to be a die hard fan of PCs until I got my MBP Retina but that is another story.
Anyways, back to the Acer: No need to install any drivers and it just works out of the box (this is the way it should be). Turned it on and you will drop your jaws. The image is crystal clear and great color and deep black level (not as good as my 27 inch Apple Thunderbolt display) but very close. The monitor is extremely bright in a good way. Love love the massive touch screen that makes using Windows 8 much much better. Hooked up the included USB 3.0 cable, HDMI and power cables and everything...
2. This + Windows 8 Pro = creative perfection!
First, let me start off by saying that I'm not a Windows 8 hater. I bought this monitor to go along with my initial installation of Windows 8, because I felt like a touchscreen was an integral aspect of the OS. Now that I've been using it for a couple of weeks, I think it's safe to say that Windows 8 is great, with or without a touchscreen, but this beast makes it that much better! Just as some basic info: I hooked this up to my semi-outdated home-built PC which consists of: Core 2 Quad Q9400 processor, Asus P5Q3 mobo with 8GB of DDR3 ram and a GTX650 Ti graphics card, plus a Corsair SSD with my windows installation and a RAID 1 storage hard drive arrangement. I do not watch movies on my PC, nor am I a heavy gamer (unless you consider games like solitaire, minesweeper, angry birds and the like qualify me as any kind of a gamer). I am a web developer and designer, so I'm more the creative type. I use my PC for graphics rendering (Adobe CS, lots of photo editing, content creation, web...
Need more appointment... ?
Try it out and then decide if it is for you
Pros:
Deep blacks
Runs cool
Looks real nice and stylish on your desk
Great viewing angles
You can watch movies all day long on this thing, 27" is real nice
Just works - plug n play!
It *makes* Windows 8 - very impressive
Cons:
Horrible OSD (on-screen display) menus and flimsy plastic buttons
Takes up a lot of room and might be awkward on a desk
Ghosting (can clearly be seen when scrolling through Live Tiles)
Can't stand it at a 90 degree angle - you'll need an arm for that
Like The Verge review of the All-in-One version of this, it feels somewhat like a prototype. very 1.0 product
This is one of those products you really want to give 5 stars to but you know you can't because of how severe some of those Cons can be. Think long and hard about how you want to use this thing as it can be a little bit impractical. I still can't decide on the colors - I've seen better I guess. In hindsight I think...
