Hands on: Acer Vero CB272K bmiiprx review

This review first appeared in issue 357 ofPC Pro. No contest, surely? In some ways, no. The 4K resolution provides lots of onscreen detail Thats 70cd/m2more than Acer claims. Switch toHDRmode and the display will boost the contrast between black and white in films and games. Thats your lot: theres no USB-C here, no USB hub and no RJ45 port. One final note on the Vero branding. But lets not be too critical....

Hands on: AOC 27B3CA2 review

This review first appeared in issue 357 ofPC Pro. Aside from this, only an HDMI port graces the rear. At least you get some tilting action, with 5 forward and 23 back. Naturally, this is a Full HD monitor rather than 1440p. You shouldnt expect bags of color; next to theAcerVero B277 Ebmiprzxv, theres only one winner. We would love to end on a complimentary word aboutspeakeror OSD quality, but sadly, no....

Its no replacement for a hardware dial, but could be a time-saver on the move. The huge touchpad includes a dial for use in apps such as Photoshop The Pantone-validatedOLEDdisplay is another plus point. Theres a fine pair ofspeakershere, too, with vocals coming through with particular clarity....

Hands on: BenQ PD2706U review

This review first appeared in issue 357 ofPC Pro. This is an OSD thats well worth exploring, too, with a huge range of color-tuning options. Buy a calibrator and you could fine-tune it to your hearts content. Theres no RJ45 port and nowebcam, but other than that youll want for nothing. Thespeakersare just about good enough for listening to music, but you wont be blown away. We dont think its worth the sacrifice....

Hands on: Fujifilm Instax Wide Evo review: is this the stylish instant camera we've been waiting for?

If you’re after thebest instant camerafor hybrid photography (i.e. Does the extra cost account for the more premium, larger features in the step-up model? We’ll have to see once I’ve had a chance to weigh this up against its performance. There’s a dedicated button at the top of the camera for switching between six different film styles.

Hands on: ViewSonic VG3456C review

This review first appeared in issue 357 ofPC Pro. A letter can make a big difference in amonitorname, and none more so than here. The panel is much more average.
