Review on Acer SB230 Bbix Ultra Thin Technology 1920X1080P, 75Hz, Wide Screen, HD by Tom Shapiro

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Dead pixels in less than a year

While the monitor certainly supports FREESYNC and the advertised 75Hz refresh rate, the build quality of the screen itself is pretty poor. In the first few months, I noticed that a small portion of the top edge of the screen doesn't sit flush against the monitor body and a small blue tinge seeps through. I also bought this monitor on April 9th, 2019 and have been using it for about a week. At the time of writing this review it was January 26, 2020. That means I've had this monitor less than a year - it's still under warranty - and it's starting to have issues that only a monitor should. that is three times more than age. The stuck pixel appeared on the screen three days ago and none of the "home remedies" (fast playing images or lightly pressing the screen) worked. Frankly, that's unacceptable. Acer agreed to bring the monitor in for repair, but since it's the only monitor I have and I work on my computer, I had to order a new one first. TL; DR: Invest a little more money in a better monitor. It has poor build quality.

Pros
  • It is finished
Cons
  • Exchange Availability
