Is the Acer CB273U good for gaming?

Only casually. The 75 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms MPRT figure suit slower games, but competitive players will want a 144 Hz or faster panel.

Does USB-C charge a laptop?

The USB-C port carries video and data, and Acer lists it for laptop connection. Check the power delivery rating before relying on it to charge a high-wattage laptop.

Does it have built-in speakers?

Yes. The monitor has integrated speakers, so you do not need separate desktop speakers for calls and basic audio.

Can I mount it on an arm?

Yes. It has a 100x100 mm VESA mount, which also gives you height and pivot adjustment the included stand lacks.

Is it good for photo and video editing?

It is fine for everyday editing, but the 350 cd/m² brightness and lack of a wide-gamut claim make it less suited to color-critical work than dedicated creator monitors.

The monitor, its stand and base, and the usual cabling for its inputs. Confirm the exact cable bundle with the seller, since bundles vary.

About the Acer CB273U 27" WQHD LCD Monitor

The Acer CB273U is a 27-inch 2560x1440 IPS monitor aimed at office and home-office work. Its standout feature is USB-C connectivity, which carries video and can power a laptop over a single cable, backed by HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, built-in speakers and a 75 Hz panel. It is not a gaming monitor: 75 Hz and a 1 ms MPRT figure suit documents, spreadsheets and video calls rather than fast action. Against rivals it trades high refresh rates and wide color gamut for a plain, ergonomic, eco-certified work screen with HDR support and VESA mounting.
