LOVE THIS MONITOR! the best in my rating

I love this monitor. This is the first 144hz monitor I've bought and I'm very happy with it, especially for gaming purposes. The picture quality is phenomenal and the gameplay is very smooth. The lighting in my room rarely has a reflection unless the sun is shining, but other than that it's the perfect monitor for me. The only thing I don't like is the stand that comes with it, it sticks out too far, but when you mount it on a wall or on a table you have no problems. Recommend it to gamers…

Great for the price - my new review

Best monitor in it's class for the price, free syncing, G-sync compatible, great features, great nothing I don't like, it's a chunky stand but kudos, I installed them anyway lol, gamma correction and brightness settings great for people with light sensitivity like mine.

High quality gaming monitor

This is my first 144hz monitor, I bought two of them. They had them for a little over a month and I couldn't imagine ever going back. It has many useful features, including displaying the refresh rate and even displaying the grid on the screen for games; like rust; that they are not. They're thin, but they don't feel flimsy. Would buy again.

do not buy - my new review

The monitor randomly goes black every few minute-seconds, lasts about 5 seconds and then turns back on for no reason. I tried 4 different HDMI cables, no problem. The display port just doesn't work and when I turn off that monitor it turns off the other one and then my game crashes.

Do not buy... in my review

I had it for almost two months, then it was blinking white, colors and lines everywhere and buggy. This is not an HDMI issue, the monitor was poorly designed.

(1080p 144Hz) - Fantastic value for money

(24 inch, 1080p, 144Hz). The particular panel I received had three dead pixels that weren't recovered, but I don't want to return the monitor. For the price I paid this was a fantastic gaming monitor for high FPS games. However, color accuracy and contrast aren't the best, so it doesn't live up to expectations for accurate color reproduction of photos or videos. As a gaming monitor, this is amazing value for money.

Great budget monitor

I got this monitor a few months ago and it works great. For money, that's theft. There are many settings with settings and refresh rate. You can overclock the monitor if you want to squeeze out a bit more performance, maybe around 15-20Hz. All in all, really good for the price and to start with.

Great, but no speakers or 3.5 jacks

I like everything about this monitor except for the lack of speakers and the 3.5mm jack. Also, there's no height or left-right adjustment, but that doesn't bother me. Do what you need to do with this information.

Be sure to purchase a DisplayPort cable.

A great monitor for gaming on a budget and casual gamers. Annoyingly, the monitor came with an HDMI cable rather than a DisplayPort cable, and only after more avid PC gamers informed me that I hadn't maximized its potential by using an HDMI cable instead have. Ordering the Displayport cable is now separate, but it feels like a cheap $6 cable should be included with the purchase to maximize the customer experience.

Middle of the road: my rating

Alright, my two big gripes are that the colors aren't as vivid as I'd like and the monitor is too short for its width. Other than that, it's a solid option.

Excellent 144Hz 1080p monitor

This is a really good monitor. Looks cool and the picture quality is great. I have another 1080p monitor but it runs at 60Hz and you can really see the difference between the two. The included stand is quite tall, which in itself is a good thing. I had to set up another screen with some books to make them even, but all is good.

Great monitor: my review

I bought this monitor because it was on sale and had good reviews. A very solid product that really adds to a gaming experience. I don't know much about monitors and I'm guessing you could spend a lot more than it costs, but what's the point? This monitor looks great, is easy to set up to adjust picture quality and is very affordable.

Fantastic looking monitor, only comes with an HDMI cable, not a DisplayPort cable (although it has both). I had to buy my own DPI cable, otherwise the monitor is of very good quality! I love Acer's stuff

12 months and still no problem

Very good gaming monitor. I bought it when it was on sale for $144 and it was a steal. One of the best monitors I recommend. The only negatives I can think of are the buttons on the actual monitor and the fact that it doesn't have a USB port. Update - I brought another 32 acre monitor so it is now being used as my second monitor and a year has passed and still no problems.

Revain will be sold in 2020 and ACER will be produced in 2009.

EDIT 12/02/2020: One of my ports broke. I contacted ACER for a warranty (as they offer a 3 year warranty on all products) and they told me they were manufactured in 2009 DECADE ago which means my warranty effectively expired in 2012 and I was sold a resale . Buy newer monitors elsewhere. This monitor is great if I bought it in 2017/2018. This monitor is very thick, the bezels are thicker than the photos show. Finally, the picture only looks good when viewed directly from the ideal viewing…

Nice gaming monitor, but why isn't a display cable included?

If you like high frame rates for a low price this is a really good buy and you can even overclock your monitor to 165Hz! That's my review.

Bright, quick response, terrible colors

You pay $200 or less for a 144Hz monitor with Freesync. It's not $600. It syncs properly and is easy to use. It's brighter than you've ever wanted. Colors are washed out and are likely to be inferior to a mid-range product. You buy a cheap monitor with a high refresh rate for gaming. You don't get quality for €600, but you definitely get it for at least €200.
