Greater than one weekGreat for 1080p 144hz gaming, but the picture quality out of the box requires some tweaking. I was not expecting too much going in from a TN panel, but its worst than expected. This could be due to the fact that I downgraded from a 4k@60 40 HDTV. Dont get me wrong its still an excellent monitor and g-sync works great. Additionally I was able to greatly improve the picture quality using Nvidia Freestyle. Gaming experience on this is night and day over my 4k monitor, high refresh gaming is truly an amazing experience. Refresh Rate Overclocking - It does 165hz with a simple overclock in the Nvidia Control Panel, I have it overclocked to 155hz for my everyday overclock. System(Custom Loop)- 3800X 4.5ghz 1080ti 2101/6100 16gb CL 3600mhz RAM X370 Motherboard

> 3 dayI paid 97$ after tax for this monitor. Absolutely beautiful picture. The freesync is really nice with my Rx580. I dont see tearing anymore. The only reason this isnt a 5 star is the joke of a speaker they installed, it seriously is less powerful than my iPhone SE, and terrible sound quality. The speaker is probably the main reason a 75Hz - 24 - 1080p - freesync monitor only cost 90$... Highly recommend.

> 3 dayAbsolutely amazing monitor for the price! Images are nice and crisp! Not quite as bright as my other monitor, but then again this was 1/3 the price. The viewing angles are limited, but that is to be expected with this type of monitor. Honestly if you dont need the best of the best, this monitor is absolutely the best budget monitor out there as of when I wrote this review. Once I am immersed in my game there is zero difference between this monitor and my top of the line one.

> 3 dayits extremely heavy for what it should be. not too happy about not having a usb port, thats just stupid. also you dont get a coax in which is not the greatest. the picture is really nice so far. navigation through menu is not great, but manageable. next monitor will have these options. was a good upgrade from my vizeo 19 inch. was able to transfer everything on the wall mount to this one without issues, so that was nice. got this for $89. def wait for it to go on sale if considering buying.

> 3 dayThis is a great monitor for the price. Its 1920x1080 with up to a 75hz refresh rate if you overclock it. Unfortunately I have a dead pixel already, less than four months after purchasing. Acers warranty will only replace the monitor if it has more than 4 degraded pixels per one million pixels. Since this is a 1920x1080 monitor, it consists of a total of 2,073,600 pixels. Which means I would need to have a total of 9 pixels degraded before Acer will even look at it. Very disappointing. I guess Ill have to try and fix the pixels myself and hope I dont create anymore degraded pixels in the process.

Greater than one weekIve been using 2 of these for about a year and a half, one display for gaming and the other for utility (movies, discord, streaming, etc) and Ive had nothing but good luck with them. You get exactly what you pay for, a 1ms 75hz gaming monitor. Be aware you will not get 75 fps unless you change your windows settings, it defaults to 60. As for the price I think its a great value for someone getting into pc GAMING anything other than that I would recommend a different type of monitor all together. But for right around 100$ this is a great quality monitor. The color is pretty good, nothing to write home about but it was pretty good in my opinion, just remember this is a 1080p monitor and nothing more, dont expect 4k resolution. I use an NVIDIA card so I cant speak on behalf of the AMD freesync settings. The monitor itself has built in presets for colors but I very rarely used them, I found one that worked for me and stuck with it. The built in speakers are pretty bad, sounds like its being produced in a tincan, I highly recommend a secondary speaker set or a headset (or both) but something like that is to be expected around this price point. The only time I had any issue with the monitor was when I turned off V-sync, while it increased my FPS dramatically the screen tearing was very pronounced but thats what happens to any monitor thats being given more information than it can handle. In conclusion this is a great valued monitor that I would recommend to anyone who is starting off in PC gaming but doesnt want to spend an arm and a leg on peripherals.

Greater than one weekAll in all this monitor works for gaming and the occasional schoolwork. Set up is easy. Monitor is as-described. The only issue is one pixel is out in the upper right quadrant. It is bothersome, but the hassle to return the monitor and wait for a new one to arrive is more bothersome.

> 3 dayThis is a very good monitor for productivity and gaming. PROS: 144hz for 1080 refresh rate good for gaming, also has 120hz for lower spec PC and console. Big clear screen, no dead pixels, good preset options. CONS: Tilt only screen, can not raise or lower screen. Is VEGA compatible though with 75x75 I believe

Greater than one weekA great monitor on my part for gaming but if you have a elevated platform on your desk the monitor will NOT look right. The top will be dark because the monitor is slanted so please before you buy get a monitor stand or wall mount

> 3 dayDecent looking monitor and it performed well, but there are a couple of major drawbacks to this monitor if you are planning on using it for a triple screen setup. I chose these for my sim racing rig mostly because of the zero frame/small bezel width. It does have very small bezels, however, the screen does not extend all the way to the frame so it negates the benefits of the small bezels. Also, there is a protrusion on the bottom of the monitors that do not allow you to mate up the screens without a visible gap. These are also very loud. There is a constant ticking sound coming from the back of the monitors when on. I didnt notice it while gaming with the volume up, but as soon as you stop gaming its very noticeable and extremely annoying. Now imagine 3 of them all ticking at the same time. I also had to fight with Amazon for a half a day about returning them. Finally they relented. Just be aware of that.
