White = Yellow! good for me

I have an old Acer LED monitor (S231HL) and I was expecting this to give a similar picture, but I was completely disappointed. If you look at them side by side you might think this is an old one as it's incapable of displaying white. It feels like I'm looking at everything through a vintage Instagram filter where all white fades/yellows. I have spent

Works and looks great

I am very happy with this monitor. It's tilted, 1080p, as thin as can be and looks gorgeous. I'm having some trouble getting FreeSync to work, but I'm sure I can figure it out. For all the features and only $110, this is a great deal. I wasn't an Acer fan, but this monitor blew me away. great quality and looks great. Thanks!

Good monitor! in my opinion

Good monitor for the price! I had issues with the VGA port, but I bought an HDMI cable and the monitor works and connects perfectly.

Husband loves it as a monitor

What I like about this product is the quality. Very good durability. What I didn't like about the product is that the stand is not height adjustable. Overall the product arrived on time and my husband liked it. I would buy this again.

Don't buy a kit (monitor + desktop mount!)

The monitor itself is good. But I bought the desktop mount kit just to realize that there is no way to attach the Revain desktop mount to a monitor without buying a $30 Vesa mount adapter. You shouldn't sell sets of things that go together! Nowhere in the description does it say you need an adapter.

But good for a start.

It has everything except for one thing that it unfortunately can't handle. It has an issue with the number of pixels per inch, when the screen is blue you see a black square around the pixels :( I wish I could narrow it down to probably 20 inches or at least 21 inches so they're harder to see I really hope I can get all the features I want without sacrificing pixels per inch.

Best for Budget - my new review

For $100 you really can't go wrong: 1ms response time, 75Hz, it works for 1080p 60fps, if you want something cheap that does the job, this is it. This will be my second monitor if I decide to go with a 120Hz or 144Hz monitor.

Very thin and excellent image quality

Such a quality deal. I bought two and use them for work as I work from home and in my free time I use them for gaming. Ideal for both purposes! I have an AMD graphics card and these monitors have FreeSync technology to prevent screen tearing. Very slim and sexy.

Flickering when FreeSync is enabled

I bought 2 of them and if I only use one it's perfect, everything works fine. Windows recognizes 75hz right away, my only concern is that if I use both monitors and turn on freesync it will start flickering with every game I play. I even used the CRU to change the freesync range as stated on the AMD forums with no success. If anyone knows how to solve this I would greatly appreciate it.

It's great for the money

I started in January (6 months ago) and needed an extra monitor. I was unemployed for 8 months due to COVID and couldn't afford anything too expensive. After tons of research I ordered this one and I have to say for the money it was great! Now I'm addicted to a big monitor and rarely look at my laptop screen. I was going to wait 6 months to review to make sure I had no issues but it was great and I would highly recommend it.

Good quality monitor.

This is a good monitor. I use it for gaming and haven't had any problems since. There are definitely better monitors out there for gaming, but this is a good budget option that gets the job done.

Without a doubt the best monitor

Don't spend hundreds of dollars on gaming monitors, they are worth the money and are great for gaming and watching movies. Note that they cannot be mounted. I bought a dual mount kit but found they don't have a vesa mount. Well my solution was about 3m of double sided tape.

My review of the monitor after a day

The screen is very clear. Only has 15 pin VGA and HDMI. It has no holes for wall mounting. The top is as thin as a laptop monitor while the bottom is 1 inch thicker. 1ms at 75Hz is awesome.

Good monitor for the price

So, this monitor was bought for my son. While we were waiting for his desktop to be delivered, I plugged it in and played Fortnite on it. For that it works fine. I'm only taking off a star because mine is a bit uneven. It probably wouldn't bother most people, but I'm noticing it and can't seem to fully understand it. Needless to say, for the price I would probably buy again.

Great suggestion in my review

I am amazed that this monitor is so cheap and works so well. This monitor replaces my old broken monitor. The picture is very clear and the viewing angles are great. Of course, I don't use it for gaming, but it works very well for videos. The colors are bright and have a fairly high resolution (1080). They also include a good RGB cable. I already had an adapter for HDMI. It's also very thin and light, measuring 23 inches. The performance and price make it very advantageous.

Slim and compact

I bought this for my mom when she was upgrading to a new M1 Mac Mini. I was impressed that this screen was larger than their previous one, but felt it had a smaller footprint. Good picture quality and great price.

good picture quality when it worked

Bought 2 monitors less than a year ago. Both worked very well but one had problems as shown in the picture. I tried all the settings, I couldn't fix it myself. It turned out to be a hardware issue. Contact the manufacturer for warranty service.

Big and high quality monitor. Perfect for gamers and watching videos

Excellent monitor, it has a large size that allows you to view graphics on the monitor with excellent colors and no blurring. It also ensures that the graphics fit perfectly for even placement throughout gameplay, with characters hiding their heads neither at the bottom nor at the top. It can also have a wide vision that you can see from all sides while searching in the game.
