#Acer b6 series b286hk full
It’s difficult to use, and we’d hoped a monitor of this quality and cost would come with its own custom set of on-screen tools built to effectively show its full spectrum of features. The display comes equipped with the same Acer eColor Management calibration system that has been a staple in most of their other displays for at least the past five years.
That said, if you’ve got enough capital laying around to splurge on a screen like this ($1099 at list), chances are you can chip in another $100 to grab a decent set of desktop noisemakers which should make up for any sonic slack the Acer doesn’t pick up. The dedicated audio-in jack didn’t fare much better when sourced both from an iPhone and a Macbook Pro, either. One problem we noticed after hooking up the monitor was the pitiful performance of the onboard speakers, which when sourced through HDMI barely registered above a couple decibels with volumes on the test machine and the screen itself completely maxed out. These include DVI-D, an MHL compatible HDMI, DisplayPort 1.2 and mini-DisplayPort, all of which can be utilized independently for a single viewing experience, or in conjunction with one another simultaneously thanks to the display’s integrated picture-in-picture option.Īnother four USB 3.0 ports can be found on the edge and underside of the monitor, making for quick and easy charging of your phone or tablet on the fly. More ports than New York HarborĪs expected with most high-end monitors these days, the B326HK comes equipped with a bevvy of available input options. Both display and stand are VESA compatible, though, so an aftermarket stand is an option.
The option to remove the four bolts on the back and remount the display at a 90° angle is still there, though the process is labor intensive, and calling it a “feature” is a stretch. The sliding mechanism from top to bottom is effortless to the point of being able to make adjustments with just one hand.Ī minor drawback is that unlike some of its competitors (as well as its cousin, the gaming-oriented XB280HK), the B326HK has no way to swivel from side to side independently of its base, nor can it quickly flip horizontally if you were so inclined to use it as a second screen. If you do need to adjust for a better angle, you’ll find changing the tilt and height of the display is easy thanks to Acer’s ErgoStand. The display’s excellent viewing angle is one of its high points, with image quality just barely starting to fade once your eyes are pinned to the very edge of the screen. The bezel isn’t the thinnest we’ve seen, but it’s not the most cumbersome either, slipping itself neatly into the category of “not enough to notice, but still noticeable enough.” Rigid and square, the casing and color palette of the B326HK is minimalist at best and a bit drab at worst. While the bezel isn’t the thinnest we’ve seen, it’s not the most cumbersome either.
