Pros
Pro Great viewing angles
As expected from an IPS panel, viewing angles are great. Horizontal adjustments don't change the colors much at all. When tilting in the vertical axis, the image can darken slightly.
Pro Lots of ports
With 5 USB 3.0 ports (one of which can act as a charger), 2 HDMI ports (with MHL), a DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort, as well as a DisplayPort out port for daisy chaining multiple screens
Pro Fully adjustable
It has tilt, swivel, height adjust and can be pivoted 90 degrees in both directions.
Pro Great for multi-monitor setups
The thin plastic bezel (1mm) and small 6mm screen boarder makes this a great screen to put side by side with another to minimise the deadspace between dual monitor setups. Also, an extra DisplayPort out means daisy chaining is possible.
Pro Fantastic screen quality
Dell calibrates the U2715H's screen in the factory to very precise measurements, and each monitor will have their own unique calibration report.
Pro Support for NVIDIA's 3D Vision 2
This BenQ display offers support for playing games in 3D with NVIDIA 3D Vision 2.
Pro Inexpensive
With a retail price of around $200, the GN246HL is one of the cheapest 144Hz monitors available.
Pro Fast 144Hz refresh rate
The Acer GN246HL features a very fast refresh rate of 144Hz (144 times per second). This allows for extremely fluent gameplay and is a major improvement over regular 60Hz displays.
Pro Fast response time
With a response time of just 1ms, the Acer GN246HL is one of the fastest monitors on the market. Ideal for fast-paced gaming situations such as first person shooters.
Cons
Con Buttons can be unresponsive
The captive buttons on the right side of the bottom bezel don't light up at all, and can be unresponsive when you first try to activate them.
Con Poor panel uniformity
While this will vary unit to unit, TFT Central found that the luminance uniformity on their unit was poor. The right side of the screen was up to 30% brighter than the left corners of the screen. It wasn't obvious at first glance, however for color-accurate work it could become an issue.
Con No DisplayPort
The monitor does not have a DisplayPort connection, which means some of DisplayPort's advantages over other connection types such as adaptive scaling can't be used.
Con No FreeSync or GSync support
The monitor does not support AMD's FreeSync nor NVIDIA's GSync for adaptive refresh rates without stuttering and screen tearing.
