An amazing monitor for specific situations

So this is my first foray into "gaming" monitors. I've always used 1080p, LCD. Monitors under $120. It exceeded all expectations, the colors are amazing, the saturation, the clarity, the size of the monitor is perfect, it's not too big, not small at all. All in all a great purchase and highly recommended! *edit* It's easy to eat in darker games. Too much ghosting I had to return the monitor, this seems to be a common complaint about this product.

Great monitor, very clear, perfect size

This is a great gaming monitor. 27", 1440p, 165hz was exactly what I was looking for. I bought this monitor for $350 and I would say it's good value for money. You may need to play around with brightness, contrast and color The settings are a bit to your liking but it was very easy to put together and the stand is also height adjustable which is nice.The bezels are relatively thin.The built in speakers are better than expected but still not great.Overall this is one great purchase from a very…

Great gaming monitor

Bought used. This is a great monitor but the base of the stand is slightly damaged. I recommend buying new. not reliable.

Great for Xbox Series X

1440p 120fps on Xbox Series X1080p 120fps on PS5. PS5 doesn't support 1440p so I'm waiting for this update. Xbox Series X > PS5 and I've owned both for over 30 days.

Good monitor, bad power supply, even worse customer service

The monitor is excellent for its price, except for the power supply short circuit. Try contacting ACER to have it replaced under warranty. Unfortunately, I was told that warranty work would cost at least $150 and that I would have to send the power supply in for inspection. Useless. Good monitor, bad power supply, even worse customer service. Be prepared to buy another power adapter for it.

The perfect monitor for everything

It has a very slim, curved screen that focuses everything on you. It has excellent resolution and high frame rate. Great for gaming and has a blue color lock for work purposes. I use it for work, play and school.

The flickering problem in the delivery state can only be mine

It flickers, it's probably just mine, but other than that it's a good monitor. My rating is based on the fact that it flickers and I bought it maybe a month ago.

Terrible ghost. in my view

I liked the specifications of this monitor and the fact that it is the only known brand with a 32-inch diagonal. Launched my first game and hit 240hz (Doom Eternal). The ghosts are so bad I can't even see properly until I stop for a moment. Completely defeats the purpose of having anything over 30 fps. Paperweight for $500.

great board on paper, poor execution

I bought this monitor because it meets all the necessary criteria. high refresh rate, 1440p resolution, 27 inch size and fast response time. It runs at 165Hz with no issues (although the built-in frame counter is ridiculous, it just shows a big "165" in the corner of the screen, regardless of the actual frame rate.) The real issue is color accuracy and response time. With Overdrive and VRB modes enabled, one enabled without the other, or neither enabled, these monitors are still a chaotic mess.

Great success: my review

Everything came in perfect condition, the stand is stable, nothing is dangling. The overall aesthetic is very pleasing and well built with tiny bezels. Comes as advertised at 165Hz 1440p and the VA panel offers a nice color gamut. I took a lot of risks with this monitor so you didn't have to when I bought it. There were no reviews for this model but I said damn I'd take a chance and it was my best buy of the whole year! Bought for $260 but would have easily paid more.

NO WARRANTY TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

I bought this product brand new and less than a month after purchase the screen started peeling off. I called Revain, they said they couldn't help me and called the manufacturer. I called the manufacturer and they said I can only send it in for repair. I recalled Revain and all I can do is send it back for a refund. Apparently there is no guarantee on the product and it is very difficult to get them to return the product. 10/10 not recommended

For the price there are definitely better alternatives.

The first thing that struck me is that the sharpness on this monitor is pretty terrible and not adjustable. I have this next to my 27" Dell 1080p monitor and honestly I think the 1080p monitor looks better. I couldn't get anything above 122Hz on the display port either, no matter what I tried I had to switch to HDMI 2.0. I have this monitor running at 144hz at 1440p and am not impressed. The only reason I didn't return it is because I had it on sale.

A worthy upgrade over a flat screen upgrade

Moved from a 27" 60Hz 1080p flat panel to this one. Bought it on sale for $249 and most likely wouldn't have picked it up at its current price of $349. Office work is noticeably easier with 1440p. Brightness and colors out of the box were good , Game is solid no issues or complaints so far. Whilst it didn't impress me it's more of a budget upgrade. I will update if there are any issues but for now would recommend to a friend.
