Monitor ACER KG241Q

I liked the simple assembly process. It has a pretty good picture and response time. Displays for monitors all over the internet aren't sure if it's 50-70Hz or 144Hz. That's right, on PC and overclocking it's 144 Hz, on console 50-70 Hz. Still a good monitor for the price.

Does a great job

No frills, easy to set up 144Hz monitor. Can't say it's the most accurate or brightest color monitor out there, but a few tweaks and it looks good enough to me. I was more concerned with high refresh rates than viewing angles or anything like that. 5 stars, it works and I enjoy playing games like Doom at 144hz.

I want to adjust the angle on the stand

I'm a casual player, if you can even call me that, so I don't need anything special. I bought it at a big discount otherwise it wouldn't have been worth the price. It's a good monitor for what I do (mainly just web browsing and some gaming), but my main complaint is that the monitor tilts slightly downward on the stand and there's no way to adjust the angle or height of the Changing the monitor relative to standing. There may be a stand that fits the car and is more versatile, but I'm too…

Bought again, but without cable!

I bought this monitor once and really liked it, but I just received the package and there is no power cord in it. Tried contacting Revain for a refund only to buy back at a higher price. I contacted the manufacturer who only recommended Revain to me. Now very disappointed. It's a good monitor, but useless if I can't turn it on.

144 HDMI error Displayport OK

I had an older 75Hz version of this monitor that was very reliable. This 144Hz version has the same picture quality and much better gaming performance, it's amazing how much smoother things have gotten. Both monitors are connected to the RX580 GPU for a noticeably better gaming experience. However, the KG241Q at 144Hz showed an intermittent black screen when gaming and fell back to HDMI. I had a high speed HDMI but thought maybe the cable was bad and bought a new 8K HDMI cable but still got a…

It's a good buy if it's under $150

Got this screen on Prime Day for a great deal. However, he has problems. I never managed to get the speakers to work. I wanted to use them for basic YouTube browsing, but not for gaming, so it's not a big deal. The instructions didn't help with the volume either. What I was told in the instructions did not match the computer model. I wish it had a remote control but that's no big deal. My main concern is the clarity of the screen. I compared this to a small 1080p TV at just 60Hz. The TV killed…

Good value for money, resists cat spray

Bought to replace a hastily bought cheap one with a low refresh rate which made me look ridiculous. This one is much better, very good picture quality, no weird head and it even rebounded after my cat splashed on it. I'm not a gamer so I can talk about how it fares in that area, but it definitely does everything I need it to!

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.

So far as good as I think

If you didn't notice above, I bought the 23.6-inch 144Hz version. Pretty good budget monitor for my first PC build. No problems after the first two days of use. Later I will most likely switch to 1440p with HDR. in the future, but it will definitely work for a while (as long as it works). You will get what they advertise here. I will update if anything goes wrong.

Do not buy: my rating

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.

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.

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. Overall really good for the price and launch.

Middle of the road - my new review

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.

Fixed brightness issue (sort of)

The monitor defaults to a dark setting. If you go to the menu, there are 6 different picture modes. 3 of them are much brighter than stock so it feels like a completely different monitor. I have 2 of these, believe me it's worth it.

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! Thanks for attention.

Really good for the price

Really good for the price, you'll need a DisplayPort cable to get the most out of it, which is 165Hz, but HDMI can boost up to 120Hz if you're on a budget. I would heartily recommend it.

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.

Pros: +144Hz + VESA mount + Cheap Cons: - Backlight jumps - Came with 1 dead pixel - Bezel has an annoying glossy finish. It's great for gaming.
