Acer’s PE0 series of professional monitors use the latest technology to produce the clearest, most accurate images possible – crucial for photographers, videographers and other content creators

Most Accurate Images


The PE0 series of monitors offers the very best in image quality in every possible respect. This is immediately evident with the 27” 4K Ultra HD IPS display of the PE270K. 4K Ultra HD displays have a resolution of 3840x2160, which is four times that of a Full HD display, and is absolutely vital when working with detailed graphics, photos or videos. Added to that, the PE0 series features Acer’s HDR Xpert technology, which allows it to display more lifelike images, with realistic, natural tones and colours. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, which means the monitor supports a wider range contrast and greater brightness, as well as a wide colour gamut, compared to conventional monitors. This allows it to retain more detail in areas of particularly high or low brightness, better reflecting what the human eye is capable of perceiving.
Another Acer technology integrated into the PE0 series is Acer ColourPlus, which is used to help calibrate the monitor, ensuring that it produce consistent colours and sharper visuals. This helps the PE0 series to achieve a Delta E of <1 – a Delta E value indicates the level of colour discrepancy that a monitor produces, essentially how close it is to perfectly reproducing the colours contained within images, videos etc that you are displaying; a value of <1 means that the variations are imperceptible to the human eye, essentially the colour reproduction is perfect. The PE270K is also capable of displaying 100% of the sRGB colour space – sRGB is an industry standard used in a huge range of digital devices and software, from computers, to monitors, to printers and many more. When you have a device that’s capable of displaying 100% of the sRGB colour space, it means reproduce the same colours consistently with other such devices – a must for any kind of photo or graphics work.

Crucial Features


As well as featuring top-notch image quality, the PE0 series monitors come equipped with a wide range of features designed to maximise comfort while using them.
With this in mind, the PE0 series also includes Acer’s VisionCare suite of technologies – BlueLightShield, Flickerless, Low Dimming and ComfyView. These technologies are designed to minimise eye strain and fatigue when using the monitor, especially for extended periods such as work environments. The PE0 series also comes with a monitor hood included in the box, which allows you to easily manage screen glare and reflections, which can also contribute to eye fatigue when using the monitor.
In addition, the PE0 series comes equipped with Acer’s Ergostand which is capable of a wide range of movement to ensure that you can adjust the screen to the ideal position, to help further combat eye strain as well as minimising physical discomfort by allowing you to sit comfortably and maintain good posture.

Superior Reliability


The PE0 series includes Acer’s 3-year Commercial Warranty as standard.
On top of that, it’s also covered by the Acer Reliability Promise, which means that if the monitor suffers a warranty fault within the first 12 months, not only will it be repaired for you, you’ll be refunded 100% of the price paid as well.
