The Acer B6 series of professional monitors combine professional functionality with ergonomic design to suit all environments and needs.

Professional Functionality


Excellent image quality is at the heart of the B6 series’ design with every model offering rich colours, wide viewing angles and fine control to ensure a consistent, quality viewing experience. The B276HULE specifically features a 27” Quad HD IPS display. Quad HD displays have a resolution of 2560x1440, which is more than 75% higher than that of a Full HD display, which helps improve productivity and multi-tasking. The B6 series features Acer’s eColour Management technology, which optimises image performance in common usage scenarios to deliver an improved, more enjoyable viewing experience.
With the inclusion of Acer’s VisionCare technologies in the B6 series monitors, they not only look great but also help to protect the user’s vision and maximise comfort. VisionCare includes BlueLightShield, Flickerless, Low Dimming and ComfyView; which are designed to minimise eye strain and fatigue when using the monitor, especially for extended periods such as work environments.
As well as being focused on eye comfort, the B6 series is also designed with ergonomic comfort in mind as well. The ErgoStand 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.
Featuring Acer’s super-slim ZeroFrame bezels, the B276HULE has an understated, professional style. The slim bezels not only serve keep size and weight to a minimum but also make the B276HULE ideal for multi-monitor systems. The B6 series features a wide range of useful connectivity options, including two HDMI ports and a DisplayPort. This ensures that it can easily and conveniently be connected to a wide variety of sources. The B276HULE is also equipped with a USB-C port, which offers a full range of connectivity functionality in the convenience of a single cable – USB-C can be used to carry video signals, meaning it can be used instead of an HDMI or other dedicated video cable; it can also be used to transfer data, meaning you can connect multiple peripherals to your B276HULE via the integrated USB hub and they will all work perfectly; and it can also be used to power external devices, meaning that your laptop can charge from your monitor when it’s connected. Everything you need, in one cable.

Excellent Reliability


The B6 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.
