Type of review

I ordered this monitor (165Hz) a year ago and it's been a really good monitor ever since. The colors are good and the quality is good, but I've never been able to figure out why my monitor doesn't output more than 144Hz. I used the same HDMI cable that came with it. A few months later I checked the serial numbers etc and found it was the 144hz model and not the 165hz model I had ordered. I wanted to get a new model or a refund but I think it's too late. Just be careful not to receive the wrong…

The backlight flickers, but it's not unbearable

This is probably the best 144Hz curved gaming monitor you will find anywhere. My backlight flickers for some reason, but it's definitely better than my previous monitor.

Price and quality make up for the lack of speakers and hinge

Excellent quality after 14 months. I got it for a great price and my only complaints are that it doesn't swivel and doesn't have built-in speakers. Instead, I got a 27-inch curved gaming monitor at a great price, and the compromises were worth it.

Good for the price I spent

Fantastic monitor, I had a crappy monitor that could only play 59hz and going from 60 to 165hz is a big noticeable difference, it sucks, not g-sync compatible but despite its fantastic price I would buy again.

No LED, you won't find a better value for 165Hz at 1080p.

The included DisplayPort cable is very short, as is the power cable. You have to play around with the color setting in the GPU settings to get things right. Windows immediately recognizes this as 165 Hz, so no settings need to be changed. Good value for money.

well worth buying for me

The 27" 144Hz monitor is fantastic. No dead pixels. Gsync compatible. It is very easy to attach the stand to the monitor. Will definitely be buying another one in the future!

Great monitor - my new review

When I first ordered the screen was cracked out of the box, maybe it was mishandled during the shipping process, tried again and got a full refund for the first time, everything works fine, now I like this monitor. one of the cheapest 27" 240Hz monitors you will find.

Glass has moved away from the top of the frame

Curved glass detached from frame at top 90% except at the corners, I siliconize it. I think the glue used is not good enough, after 10 months it happened. I find the picture quality good. My first healed LCD and this is how it happened.

Great monitor, lousy cable

Color is great, refresh rate is great so far so good! The only problem was that when I first plugged it in and tested it, I saw I was only getting 127Hz. Luckily I had an extra high-quality Displayport cable with me. around. When I replaced the cable that came with the monitor with an optional cable, the refresh rate went up to 144Hz. In short, if you can't get 144Hz, try to find a better cable than the one that came with this monitor.

Good for the price in my opinion.

10/10 would recommend it running at 120fps on xbox series, overall quality is great, only issue is there are no speakers but it's still worth the price in my opinion.

Curved, inexpensive, fast

Bought as a Christmas present for a child. I had to watch it for gaming purposes, you know, and I'm jealous. I still have a few 60Hz 1080 screens and my son will have a bigger and faster screen than mine by Christmas. What a lucky man. I hope he's great. I think I'll have to secretly buy something soon.

Too big for 1080p in my opinion

I don't think 1080p is enough for 27 inches and more. This monitor looks decent when gaming, but text in any context is very jagged and uncomfortable to look at. Also, a broken pixel (bright red, in the center of the screen) appeared on it. about a month after the return period has expired, is not worth it at all.

Amazing value in my rating

So I don't usually write many reviews, but since there aren't many for this item, I took a chance on Aopen since they are basically a hardware company. I feel like I owe them a review for this product. First, it's a step up from cheap $170 FreeSync monitors with standard Samsung B panels (quality check failed). I first bought one of these and I have to tell you it was a mistake. The refresh rate was way below advertised and not up to date so I returned and bought it. In terms of display quality

Good for PS5: my review

Took for school/games. As for the PS5, I know I won't be able to get 4K quality on it, but it still looks better than my 4K TV. Definitely a quality monitor for the price. I haven't had any issues either, I've seen broken pixels in other reviews, but mine didn't. 165Hz is a good plus, colors come out very well. Good buy in my book if I've ever seen one

Complete set in my opinion

Very happy with this product! Works flawlessly. It came with a DisplayPort cable instead of HDMI, so I was able to use the monitor's full potential at 144Hz (HDMI cables come with most monitors and only support 60Hz)! I was excited and surprised to see him there. A very good company that sets you up for success and doesn't force me to buy another part. Lightweight and also in case you ever need to move it.

Broke after 4 months

I bought this for my son for Christmas. After 4 months it wouldn't turn off - it flashed different colors until he unplugged it. I called Acer and after doing a factory reset which didn't change anything they said to box it up and pay to have it shipped at their own expense so they can honor the warranty and repairs take two weeks once. You have it. I asked if I had sent it in the original packaging, would I get the box back and the rep said yes. I looked on the site and it's not. sooo I would…
