Review on Acer Frameless Office Monitor R240HY Bidx, 1920X1080P, 60Hz, Blue Light Filter, Tilt Adjustment, HDMI by Marc Hall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great monitor from Acer.

Excellent value for money and quality. I suspect this is one of the best monitor options in this category. I'm very happy with its performance and haven't found any signs of leakage around the perimeter (as the review I've read suggests). The picture is absolutely stable and the colors and details are bright and clear. The frame around the picture is perhaps the thinnest in its category. This is a big plus when it comes to long work sessions. This would also be a plus when using multiple monitors. As I expected, there's a fairly wide viewing angle from all directions, so there's no need to constantly adjust the stand. Again, for long sessions, I change the viewing angle and height slightly, a wide viewing angle is much more comfortable in such cases. A small issue I noticed during testing is that I would have preferred height adjustment on the stand. My preferred viewing height would be about an inch shorter than the fixed 4.5 inch height (below in the desktop image). Sometimes at work I need to place the monitor on a standard table top and that's where the need becomes obvious. I considered just mentioning this to the manufacturers, but it's no big deal as I'm getting used to it even now, 3 weeks after the monitor went live. Since I'm using this monitor with a new build, its generic drivers were installed at the time of the Windows build. However, I replaced them with Acer drivers. No matter how impressed I am with this monitor, I have to say that despite being a computer builder and business user/enthusiast for many years, I have not been able to figure out how to use the physical buttons on the monitor to make adjustments. its settings - I gave up and used the Windows Control Panel instead. The monitor is well configured and does not require any special settings out of the box. Overall I think most customers will be completely satisfied with their purchase and I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • 23.8 inch Full HD IPS widescreen, 1920 x 1080 resolution
Cons
  • The monitor is noisy when it is on.
