Great for competitive play

Very fast and fluid, good value for money, excellent brightness. However, the TN panel sometimes makes the image quality appear questionable. Never cloudy, just a bit matte compared to other panels.

The darker screen does not look like the picture.

The tbh screen didn't look as good as I thought it would. It still looks great, it's a little dark, but it's also very smooth.

better than i expected.

I switched to 1440p for gaming so I went with it for a nice 144Hz and TN panel. Amazing color. I can't believe I waited so long for 1440p.

Great monitor, strange color

This monitor has served me well for a few months now. The matte finish makes the color look a bit odd, but other than that the monitor is really clean and powerful. I've been playing games at 1440p at over 100fps and this monitor is a dream come true.

Possibly the best spec/performance for a price monitor

I bought it for 300€ and can't say anything bad about it. If I had to be picky I'd say it would be nice if the outlets were on the side for easier access, but those are minor things. You definitely can't go wrong with this display for gaming. It was difficult to find the features and brightness levels I wanted at a reasonable price, and this monitor was it.

Moved from a smaller TN panel and it's AWESOME! Use with One X console Please make sure that only ONE of the two HDMI ports supports a refresh rate of 144GHz (an x port reaches 120GHz). Amazing sale price!

Great monitor when it worked. (which wasn't always the case)

The monitor was AWESOME. when he worked. He happily switched on and off while gaming and hooked up a second monitor. I got 2 of these, replaced the first one with an identical one, and the second one broke too. The 2/2 monitors I tried were bad. Maybe avoid this if it's part of a dual monitor system. Although it worked great as a solo monitor.

Monitor with excellent value for money

In general, the monitor works exactly as I wanted. The color is a bit off and I've noticed some screen tearing that other types of monitors don't have, but other than that it's a good monitor. You can't get the same resolution at a better price when it comes to gaming monitors.

The pixel gets stuck in blue. slightly pale color (low saturation)

When I first bought this, the pixel was stuck in blue. I've only recently noticed this again and it really annoys me considering how much it costs. Also, the color is pale.

Gave me a bad headache

Pros: - So far so good, no dead pixels on arrival - 1440p looks great - All games are very smooth Cons: - The anti-glare matte finish they bring to the screen adds an odd effect to the bright parts of the monitor added. The good news is that I'm already used to it. (It was too complicated. Gave me a huge headache and had to return it.) Other: I'll update this post if anything goes wrong with the monitor, but so far it's really great.

Dead pixels on arrival

The first monitor I had had a dead pixel in the middle of the screen, I got a replacement and the first time it turned on with no dead pixels everything was perfect. Next time you turn on the monitor, there will be dead pixels in the upper left corner. All monitors I've bought from Acer have had dead pixels. It is unfair to pay full price for damaged goods every time. And the only solution other than requesting a replacement is to repair Acer. But in this case, why should I pay so much for a…

144 Hz is the king of this monitor!

I like the size and the noticeable resolution compared to my 1080p monitor. The only downside is that the picture modes aren't impressive. THIS ONLY GETS 4 STARS BECAUSE MY FIRST ORDER WAS A BAD PIXEL. So far the second monitor has been very good for me. Good buy.

Broke in 1 hour - my new rating

Intermittent black screens of 10 seconds or more are a joke on this "gaming" monitor. At least customer service helped me with a free shipping label, but this monitor was recommended to me by a friend who ALSO had problems. dead pixels and black screen. REPAIR YOUR PRODUCT.

All is well. to my rating.

It's fast but that's all it's worth, picture quality isn't great but that's to be expected from a TN panel. I would not recommend this product unless you are an esports gamer that requires 240hz.

Light chicken dinners in PUBG

So I returned and bought the MSI Optix monitor due to dead pixel issues and I have no regrets as I was very skeptical about TN panel colors. The beautiful TN panel and 1ms response time is great for gaming at 144Hz frame rates. No dead/stuck pixels or issues so far (been using it for 3 days). The colors are beautiful, almost like a VA panel with manual settings. Very fast and responsive and I love it. 100% recommended for gamers looking for an affordable monitor.

Great monitor: my review

I had no problems with this monitor. Playing Siege at 1440p 144Hz is awesome. I recommend purchasing insurance with any display purchase.

Great monitor, but you should know.

Absolutely great monitor. I love it. It's very easy to set up "2mins", the only complaint is that it has a joystick to control some functions, which isn't too bad, but personally I'm just not used to using it yet.

The fastest and most colorful TN panel yet. little problem.

PROS: Stunning colors (for fast refresh, gaming, TN panel), fastest refresh I've ever seen on a monitor, and no visible clutter. Extremely low/unnoticeable input lag. CONS: Obvious minor quality control issues. Mine wasn't sleeping when the computer was turned off. Typical limit viewing angles TN. (IPS is better with corners and color but slower overall.) I'll wait for the next version of this monitor to see if they fix the bug. And definitely buy it.

Great monitor, star docking because the built in speakers aren't that great. Otherwise solid construction. Beautiful colors and user-friendly interface.
