Looks great, plays great, worth buying.

Product monitor on the right. I have the same little brother that only runs at 75 Hz. There is definitely a noticeable difference in performance and image quality. Overall I'm very happy with the monitor and will definitely look for the next model with better specs in this style. Acer for life.

Would like an adjustable stand.

Image quality is well above my expectations, both when gaming (with the right settings) and casual web browsing. The refresh rate is more than sufficient for gaming in particular, as long as there are no tearing or blue screens.

Letters in Acer are jumbled and 1 pixel is dead

The product came with 2 letters mixed up in the word Acer. The r was missing and the c was bent and half torn off. I said fuck it and pulled out all the letters. Just checked, also a dead pixel. I won't be returning it as I've already shipped another monitor, but dammit Acer pull yourself together.

Bad design: my rating

Cons: - The stand is tragic, if they would just save your eardrums from the awful built in speakers and design a better stand it could be worth the $300 price tag. - IPS Edge Glow (my HP IPS monitor is not listed at 1/3 the price) - Terrible shipping practice, they leave the screen unprotected by cutting out the foam to save money and leave the screen open so it's only protected by the cardboard supplied. Pros: - The display is pretty cute overall

great color suits me

- shaky stand - not the best HDR + great color + high refresh rate + good anti-ghosting + great for RPG/strategy games Power Issues: If the monitor’s power supply is not working properly, it can cause the display to flicker or go black.!

Great display, poor build quality.

The monitor is great for gaming and productivity with its 144Hz IPS display. The only downsides are poor build quality and a wobbly stand that wobbles at the slightest movement.

Good price for the price I paid.

I bought it to replace my old Acer x223w which still works after 10 years. But my old x233w didn't have 1080p and FreeSync which I was looking for. Anyway, this monitor has been working flawlessly for about a month as I write this review. No dead pixels. The color is a bit lighter than my old x223w. The only criticism is that it would be nice if an HDMI cable was included.

Not bad! good for me

The only thing I don't like is that it comes with a VGA cable which I didn't get to work with, which is fine since I use HDMI anyway. Also the display settings had to be changed immediately, it loaded in 1260x720 and didn't look good! When I have the settings I needed, it works and looks great!

100% value, cheap and everything you need

It was a huge leap from a 75Hz monitor. My games no longer experience FPS drops and the image quality is excellent. Good brightness and price! The cheapest I've found that meets all the necessary specs. You don't have to spend $700 to run the latest games in 1080p resolution at over 100 fps (depending on the game).

Excellent monitor, the best in my rating

This monitor is great! If there was one thing I would change I would add better speakers but the speakers are good! I really love it!

Great offer! to my rating.

All in all very good value for money! Smooth and crisp! Minimal glow in the corners, but that's common with iOS monitors. You don't mind if you don't have to constantly stare at pitch-black images.

Image quality is great!

Wasn't expecting much from this monitor given the price. I was wrong! The picture quality looks so good that even Windows 10 looks good! It looks better than my $600 Dell 27" 4k monitor. It's also very light and quite thin. 4 stars only because the speakers are neither great nor weak.

Great in almost every way!

I liked it once I figured out what settings to make, but I was initially disappointed with the image quality. But as soon as I googled and found the right settings on YouTube, I fell in love. I wish it had HDMI 2.1 but other than that I love everything about this monitor, especially for the price. Great for next-gen games.

I'm cheap and it's not

I'm a curmudgeon. I'm tired of playing Blackout and other FPS games on my 55 inch TV because the picture is not what I want. I decided to set up a gaming room in my house and when I saw the prices for high quality monitors I was instantly relaxed. I searched, read hundreds of reviews and came across this monitor. After reading these reviews, I decided to purchase. The picture is very clear. The detail and color is exactly what I wanted from a monitor. At no point is the screen more than a meter

IPS super bright! Great monitor.

This ips monitor just amazes me. Experience 144Hz gaming with adaptive sync technology. Big size and not a single dead pixel on arrival. The 1ms response time might be a bit of a cheat as I've seen more than 4-5ms, but it's still a great response time. So far, so good

Amazing monitor of this size

My previous 24 inch monitor was too big for my desktop. It's a nice color, looks good with small bezels, and overall is a great monitor for gaming, especially at this size. The controls are on the back but are easy to use. I also love the stylish stand it comes with; It adds a bit of flair to a gaming setup and has good tilt adjustment, although it doesn't have vertical displacement so you may need a monitor stand depending on your setup. In general I am very satisfied.

Not a true 144Hz monitor

Finally there are normal speakers. Unfortunately, this is not a true 144Hz monitor. I feel like cheaply sold with spare parts. Lol, I'm wondering what else is missing in the monitor that I don't know about.
