There are no sensible settings. Not 1080p

The picture appears to be 720p, not 1080p. My PC settings say 1080p but that's definitely not the case. After several hours of color tweaking and other adjustments, the picture is fine at best, but still not 1080p. There is no sharpness setting, only the default is either on (too much) or off. When watching a movie, the picture is slightly better, but not by much. It has a Vesa mount but the bottom mounting holes are faulty and barely attached to the monitor. Even hand-tightened screws can come loose and cannot be tightened again afterwards. This is definitely a manufacturer defect and bad design. I wouldn't recommend it for gaming at all. It runs at 240Hz but is useless without 1080p resolution. The price dropped $45 right after the purchase. What? Looks like I've been scammed twice.

Pros
  • acer
Cons
  • Dubious purchase for older people
