Be sure to purchase a DisplayPort cable.

A great monitor for gaming on a budget and casual gamers. Annoyingly, the monitor came with an HDMI cable rather than a DisplayPort cable, and only after more avid PC gamers informed me that I hadn't maximized its potential by using an HDMI cable instead have. Ordering the Displayport cable is now separate, but it feels like a cheap $6 cable should be included with the purchase to maximize the customer experience.

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 love dead pixel

I love the monitor, after a small brightness adjustment it is amazing. It had one dead pixel out of the box that just sits green on the screen, but everything else is perfect

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 go up to 120Hz if you're on a budget. I would heartily recommend it.

Scrolling looks really smooth.

I wanted a cheap Full HD monitor but with a high refresh rate. This did the job perfectly. Thanks to the high refresh rate, scrolling and games now look very smooth. It's a good deal for the price, not the best monitor you can get but it does the job. When you play, don't forget to pair it with a good graphics card.

Pretty Solid is the best in my rating

Overall a great monitor for the price, the only complaint I have about it is that it doesn't have a headphone jack or audio out, which isn't a deal breaker but it's annoying when I want to play my switch.

Attention buyers - advantages and disadvantages

Pros - amazing performance, amazing size, amazing brightness (a little TOO amazing), amazing features. Cons - The colors are a little strange (at first), I had to tweak the settings for a few days to get used to it. Does NOT come with HDMI or Displayport cable (AC adapter only) shows things a bit slow when changing settings [e.g. B. Alt-Tab] (maybe it's just my problem)

Good for games; average for everything else.

Bought this monitor for gaming (mainly Valorant/other FPS games) and after about 2 weeks of trial the monitor did a great job. I get 144hz from the HDMI cable that came with the monitor, contrary to previous reviews, but don't use your own if it doesn't support 144hz. For purposes other than gaming, the picture and color reproduction are not fantastic. A little disclaimer on that statement, I might be really bad at calibrating monitor colors but honestly it shouldn't be that bad to begin with.

pretty good! in my rating

Fantastic looking monitor, only comes with an HDMI cable, not a DisplayPort cable (although it has both). I had to buy my own DPI cable, otherwise the monitor is of very good quality! I love Acer's stuff

Great monitor. Especially for the price

Very good monitor for the price. Everything is fine, the picture is excellent. The only downside for me is that the viewing angles are a bit poor, but not terrible. The way I set it up, I see some green on top of the white writing. in the upper right corner. Plus, for the price, you can't beat it and I would definitely recommend it.

This monitor is insanely good

I used to have a 60Hz monitor and my mind just exploded. Despite what anyone says, if you're smart, go into settings and tune your monitor from the default 60-75Hz to 144Hz. I suggest changing the picture quality upon purchase. otherwise it's pretty solid.

I had my doubts but I'm so glad I bought it

I bought this before going to college because I really wanted a reliable second monitor and I can tell you this thing is great having played at 65Hz my whole life. It's big and I love having 2 screens not only for gaming but also for working during a Zoom call. I've always trusted Acer, but now I really trust them.

Really not that great

The viewing angles suck, it seems like my screen has a gradient even when I'm looking straight at it. The colors are bloody ridiculous, can't make them look right. It looks like there is a white film on my screen and I've tried to fix it but it just won't go away and there's a weird static thing if you look closely at something jet black. I'm also pretty sure it's an LCD monitor and not an LED. and be warned if you get this thing to use 144hz you need to use a displayport, you can't go past 60…

Great input for 144Hz

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

it's perfect for gaming believe me i got it today and it's amazing but the only annoying thing is that when you try to watch netflix on your ps4 with a monitor you can't hear it. Basically, the monitor has no sound

great for games good for me

My husband plays online games and loves this monitor. Had to change settings and now says it's a great monitor for gaming. The only downside is my computer tower can't connect to it so it's strictly for his PlayStation and I have to make room in our office for a second monitor for my computer.

Excellent monitor in my review

I bought this monitor because it was on sale and had good reviews. A very solid product that really adds to a gaming experience. I don't know much about monitors and I'm guessing you could spend a lot more than it costs, but what's the point? This monitor looks great, is easy to set up to adjust picture quality and is very affordable.

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.

WHAT IS BEST TO KNOW IN MY ASSESSMENT

So it's 144Hz as promised, but this monitor freezes for some reason and then turns off. I know it's not my computer because I had multiple monitors so be aware
