Doesn't work right out of the box

After receiving this monitor, he did not start. Revain was very happy to send it back but I live in a small town where our post office couldn't use the return label and I had to drive to the UPS shop. That's about a 35-minute drive. So it took over an hour to return both ways and that doesn't even cover trying to repackage it. The replacement monitor had the same issue so I figured it would be me and hired my IT person to come over and show me what I must have done wrong. He couldn't, it didn't

Acer monitor in my opinion

The speakers don't work, neither does the camera. There are no instructions either. Good display, but how do I work with speakers and camera?

Great budget gaming monitor!

I was looking for a FreeSync IPS monitor for gaming and found it. It was a great purchase and I wouldn't mind buying a second one. A year has passed and I had no problems with it.

So far so good in my review

Just plug and play, the camera is great and adjustable. The sound is weak but the speakers are 2 watts, what are you waiting for? I only use my Altec Lansings for audio.

Looks great in my review

I've never had a monitor with simpler controls than this one. On the back of the monitor is a knob that you can click and turn to choose between different picture modes. Easy to use, I set mine to the "Graphics" setting and then just lowered the brightness a bit as it was too much for my liking. The main reason I bought this monitor was the free syncing while gaming and it works fantastic.

Impressive stand, rich colors and contrast

The Acer display excels in fast refresh and responsiveness, so it seems it's aimed at gamers, which I'm not. But as a display for the average person, the Acer display is plug and play, but if you want to play around with the settings you have great access to a lot of different picture and performance settings. The stand was a fine work of engineering. Read my review. -- ERGO STAND, IMPRESSIVE STAND AND ADJUSTMENTS: The stand is solidly constructed. Easy to apply and the base holds the display…
