Okay, just a little annoying thing.

I've bought so many monitors over the last few months and sent them back due to a defect and little did I know that nowadays it's difficult to buy a monitor to get a perfect screen with no bleeding or dead pixels. My first monitor I bought wouldn't even turn on. The second and third had halos on the right corner of the screen, while the fourth had slight halos on the top of the monitor. This is now the fifth. So far I haven't noticed any glow, no dead pixels, no halos, but. I found what looked…

Served about 2 years

A good monitor for the money, in general there are no complaints about it. My only criticism, which is why I give it three stars, is that after almost two years it starts to break down. It was never placed anywhere other than in the box (including all cushioning and shipping materials) or on my desk, and now I'm constantly getting red or white streaks across my screen. In general it's fine for normal use (since it's my second monitor). However, if that were my main or only monitor, it would be…

Good value for money

Clear picture and high refresh rate. Bought as one of the cheapest 120Hz monitors I could find at the time. I had a display problem after about a year, the support team was very easy to deal with and responded quickly. The only complaint I had about the process was that I had to pay them for shipping (they paid for the return once they fixed it). When I've sent returns to other manufacturers in the past, they usually just send me a shipping label.

This is a great monitor for towers with new graphics cards.

The monitor has an excellent price-performance ratio. The monitor works with towers with HDMI 2.0 port. If your PC or graphics card has an HDMI 2.0 or HDMI 2.1 port, then this monitor is for you. You need to make sure your HDMI connection is in place because if your monitor is HDMI 1.0 or HDMI 1.4 it will not work. You will get a black screen with a text box stating input is not recognized. This is my second Acer PC monitor and I can say they are very good monitors. I've never had a single…

I never write reviews. but

I bought one of these monitors at the end of 2021. After a few months, black bars appeared on the screen. It's okay, every game has its own flaws. I gave it for warranty repair, a couple of weeks have passed, the boom was returned, everything is fine. While it was being repaired I bought a second one just for some use. Since buying a second one, I've changed computers, cables, and even locations. The second is now a few months old and shows EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM THE OLD ONE WAS, with a black

Great budget gaming monitor.

This is a great monitor for gaming like FPS games due to the refresh rate as well as the size of the monitor. I also have a larger monitor at home, but I find that 24" is the ideal size for gaming on a regular sized table as you don't have to move your neck/eyes excessively to capture detail in the field of view. The main disadvantage of this monitor is outside of gaming if you are using it for browsing. The resolution and PPI are pretty poor compared to an FHD or higher monitor, and text in…

Awesome monitor layout, terrible button layout

So the monitor itself is exactly what you would expect. Clear picture, good brightness, whatever. I'm not here to talk about it. I'm here to tell you that anyone who decides to put the buttons where they are now needs to evaluate their choice. The buttons are on the back of the monitor, on the left side, closer to the bottom edge. No problem if this is your only monitor. BUT VERY inconvenient when that monitor is to the left of your second monitor. Terrible design! My second monitor is LG and…

Cheap gaming monitor

Pros: Only $200 at the time of writing this article. 144 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms response time, 8 preset monitor profiles. Cons: no built-in speaker. Many monitors with these specs cost upwards of $300, but Acer has everything the modern 1080p gamer needs for just $200. I like the 144Hz refresh rate. I've only used 60Hz monitors so far and let me say that 144Hz definitely makes a difference when it comes to gaming. I played GTA V on this monitor alongside my old 60Hz monitor and the picture…

I'm in love with my mind

I want to start this review by saying I really like these monitors. I took a chance and bought two of them. I haven't had any dead pixel issues and the colors are surprisingly vibrant. They are also the perfect size I think. I get excellent Hz through the HDMI port. Since these are exceptional monitors, there are a few things I want to know before I buy them. The HDMI and power cables are very short. This problem isn't as big with power cords as using an extension cord isn't really that…

Phenomenal monitor in my review

The monitor looks absolutely phenomenal and delivers an excellent FPS ratio for those looking for more than just a TV. The only drawback for those who want everything in one package, unfortunately there are no speakers. This is easily compensated for by usability and monitor settings as you can simply use headphones or a standalone speaker to compensate.

AS PERFECT as I think

I got this monitor as a treat for myself and also to improve my gaming setup. Little did I know that this monitor is slightly smaller than my main monitor due to its thinness. Since I like a slightly larger screen when gaming, it turned out to be a side monitor, which is fine. The screen is pretty solid considering I dropped it a couple of times while setting it up. All in all a great monitor for the price when it was very low.

Great monitor but no sound and mesh sucks

The monitor is great for gaming, it's nice and good for desks. The only issue I had is that it doesn't have any ports for speakers or sound so you'll need a headset and the grilles on it are terrible but overall I'd recommend a great monitor.

Suitable for current generation consoles

The picture of it is great. I don't know if it was my settings or compatibility issues, but on the PS4 the image kept reverting to lower brightness and darker colors. However, I don't have this problem on the PS5. Otherwise, the image is pin-sharp, the refresh rate is stable, and the monitor itself looks good on a desk.

That's very good considering this is my first monitor.

The monitor is amazing but the only annoyance is I didn't get a DISplay connection cable only HDMI which isn't bad because I still get 122Hz would have preferred a DP cable but overall it's the money worth.

Perfect fit for me best in my rating

I've done a lot of research on monitors. What Hz are they running? What is your screen resolution? Are these IPS (graphics) or TN (performance) screens? How regulated are they? How much do they cost? And what are the average ratings. I rarely review items, but this is my new CODMW gaming monitor running at 140-150fps/144Hz on Ultra settings. Keep in mind that you're only going to get a 144Hz monitor if you have a rig that can hit over 60fps in most modern games. Because otherwise, if you play…

How to increase Hz?

ASUS PG27UQ user and I am impressed with Acer VG272

I have a $2000 ASUS PG27UQ alongside an Acer VG272. Acer comes VERY close to Asus' color/contrast performance. For those of you worried that the IPS 240 might be fake, don't worry, it's not fake. Is it as fast as 240Hz TN panels? I don't think so, but I think it's very close. There is a noticeable difference in motion clarity when going from the Asus 4K at 120Hz to the Acer at 240Hz. I originally wanted a 1080p screen for the Switch that could also give me 240Hz on Windows 10, but should have a
