Acer CB242Y bir 23.8 Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Zero Frame Home Office Monitor with AMD Radeon Free Sync - 1ms VRB, 75Hz Refresh, Height Adjustable Stand with Tilt & Pivot (HDMI & VGA ports),Black

Turned the monitor on as soon as I set it up and it lost a line of pixels.

Excellent large 28 monitor, weak audio (my laptop speakers sound a lot better), and the stand is the best thing about this monitor. Not that the monitor itself isnt great (make sure to read others comments about hitting the tiny top button in addition to the power switch to turn it on), but the stand raises, lowers, tilts and even rotates. Sweet upgrade from my 22 Samsung, used for business and graphics. I havent tried the 4k yet.

the monitor is beautiful. But...and a big BUT...the instructions are seriously lacking...I thought the on button was the round button at the bottom of the monitor...wrong...it is the top button above that. As there are other buttons shaped just like the on button, and none of the buttons are labeled....I thought I had a dead monitor...I was only able to figure out how to turn it on by searching peoples comments on the internet.

I either have a bad unit or the monitor is not compatible with the 2015 Macbook Pro. Worst, when I tried to get support, they tried to blame it on the Mac. The previous large monitors I have used it the Mac (some also Acers) all worked fine. I have already tried 3 cables on 2 different ports (Display Port and HDMI) so I will need to return it. Too bad because its a good looking monitor, even though the screen controls are a total pain. What a hassle.

You’re very rarely going to find a monitor that is IPS, Full HD, 75hz, with fully ergonomic stand (adjustable height, tilt, pivot, and 360 degree swivel) at this price point. There are competing models by HP, LG, and Dell but none of them give you all this at 119$. I am using this as a portrait second monitor for a gaming set up and this is great. Makes multitasking so easy, has a nice display, and great solid build. This is also an entry level gaming monitor and can very well be a main display for a gaming pc with a respectable 75hz frame rate. If you need an affordable fully ergonomic monitor, look no further.

If youre working with a multi-monitor setup and need to scroll often, this monitor in portrait mode is the ticket. The brightness and refresh rate are better than you might find at this price point. It would be good for gaming! There are some control buttons, but I havent used them. Im known to be frugal, so a monitor that can rotate from landscape to portrait mode with minimal effort and deliver crisp content was a no-brainer. Will purchase another if one of my other monitors develops a defect.

fye that’s all i gots to say

Pros:

Nice monitor, the picture quality is decent with lots of adjustability in the OSD to suit your need. However product description is a bit misleading, is say built in speakers and display port but neither of that was on mine, though I believe the 27 has those feature it was just not made clear enough in the diceiption. All in all great product and am happy with this monitor.

edit: The ghosting effect I had was actually because I had the overdrive setting set to extreme when I was testing it, after switching it back to normal, it no longer happens. So overall its pretty good for gaming and as an external monitor for mac book pro.
