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

So far, so good.

I would say this monitor falls under an entry level or value monitor for someone looking to move up to obtain FreeSync capabilities.

Woke up today to turn it on and the entire screen was white and black lines.

I have to admit I was a little skeptical at first due to some of the negative reviews, but this monitor is absolutely perfect! It connected with my laptop through the HDMI port and started right up. My laptop automatically detected it so having to configure it was no problem. No idea about the speakers because I have external speakers anyway. Picture quality is perfect for me because all I use it for is a secondary monitor while running code. I couldn’t attest to gaming capabilities because I have a different set up for that.

On the website and even on the box, it says LED but the booklet inside and on monitor it says LCD. Extremely disappointed. Strictly not recommended.

Instructions that came with this Acer monitor says cables are optional besides the power cord. Not true. HDMI cable to connect to a USB port or micro-port is mandatory. The HDMI cable is for camera. Also have to use a VGA output cable as well to a port.

How do you adjust the height and lowering of it? Tried pressing button at the top. Nothing

Disclaimer: This is just my personal experience with the monitor. I have been using it for the last few days.

The picture quality is pretty good so theres no complaint there considering the price was quite good. The issue is how long it takes the monitor to latch on a signal.

All the positives are in the great looking display, intuitive OSD menu that is controlled by the rear joystick and vertical array of selection buttons (I didnt find it necessary to read the manual), up/down/tilt/swivel stand and solid base, zero-edge screen. I replaced an old Dell 24 UW FHD display and am using this Acer 28 as an extended monitor with my 27 iMac. I cant quite get the colors to match, no matter what color profile combo I use. I settled on using sRGB for both (suits my needs very well and colors are so close that most people wouldnt notice). The one and only downside I give this monitor is that it takes about 60 secs to sync the signal when I wake up my Mac. I dont know how it acts as a standalone monitor or as an extended dual display on Windows. Nonetheless, I would absolutely buy another and would recommend this monitor to everyone.
