Acer Nitro 24.5 Full HD 1920 x 1080 PC Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | Up to 250Hz Refresh | 1ms (VRB) | ZeroFrame | ErgoStand | 1 x Display Port 1.2 & 2 x HDMI 2.0 Ports | XFA253Q Zbiipr

After 1-1.5 years, monitor quality of 2 out of 3 monitors makes them unusable. Awful vertical striping throughout the screens, no help from their support, not resolved through resolution changes or new cables -- there is some major hardware quality problem with these... My review was rejected for an unknown reason, so I did not re-attach the photo of the problem. Just be aware that these monitors have a serious issue that may only appear after Amazons return window has closed.

Pros: Quality is great, my panel came shipped fine with no dead pixels or anything. 144hz, 1ms, 24inch monitor, with a good amount of adjustment in the stand. Gaming is smooth, super smooth, like wow this is going to make playing on my Xbox impossible smooth. This monitor is under 200$ not on sale, I think this will be the best deal for a monitor for a while. Cons: Out of the box the brightness is way high, colors are a bit washed out (like others have mentioned). This can be fixed by spending some time tweaking the settings though, I found setup values on Reddit that have helped but I still need to do some playing around. Okay here comes the one thing I hate about this monitor: switching input on this panel is such a chore. The moment the monitor looses signal from a source it starts cycling through DP, HDMI, DVI, but it doesnt seem to stay on each input long enough to actually detect the display port input source. For example; I have my monitor as a main monitor and a second old panel to the side. The Acer is set up as primary, but I also have my xbox hooked up through HDMI. Ill switch my computer to secondary display only, and turn my xbox on. The Acer cycles through inputs and find the xbox every time. When I turn my Xbox off and on my desktop go back to the extended desktop setting, the monitor will cycle inputs but skip right over the display port even though its hooked up to the PC. Ive even had the issue where after I do this cycle the PC has a hard time recognizing the Acer display through the Display port, and I have to unplug the Acer from the PC and plug it back in to have it actually recognize and send signal to the monitor. This is annoying. BUT, I paid 200$ for a 144hz 1ms 24 inch monitor, its hard to complain. I paid a discounted price for this monitor, and even though Ive been having this small issue I would buy this again for a 1080p build. In the future Ill probably save up a bit more for a second panel that has better input switching, but again if I had the same funds as before and was putting together a complete system on a hard budget even knowing what I know now, I would buy this in a heartbeat.

Got this monitor for the PS4 pro. I have always played on my tv, but I decided to get a pc and wanted to play my PS4 at my desk. It’s completely different playing on this monitor then my tv. The response time between the monitor and the PS4 controller is almost instant and it improves your playing so much vs playing on a tv! Although this monitor isn’t HDR compatible for the PS4 pro/ps5, the picture still looks crisp and clear! Nice and bright and has many settings to adjust it to your liking. The speakers are not great, but I would never use so it’s not an issue. 10/10 and would definitely recommend!!

This monitor is good for a pc, and an xbox one. If your thinking about getting it for a next gen console (series x series s ps5) and want 120 fps don’t buy this because it doesn’t get it. Otherwise it’s good. I wouldn’t recommend getting this for an xbox one since you can find a 4k 60 hz/fps monitor for cheaper.

For $209.99, this is one of the cheapest 144 Hz gaming monitors you will find on Amazon. I like Acer as a brand and they have come up big with another quality product. This monitor is extremely easy to assemble, with the base using just one screw and the stand using a snap-in functionality to the screen. I like the design and the bezel is a decent size. The buttons look nice and give you easy access to some useful functions like adjusting brightness, volume, mode, etc. Be wary that the colors it comes with out of the box are sub-optimal. If you are looking to game or do any graphic intensive activities, consider looking up some color profiles online or creating your own. Not to be alarmed, this is the same with all other cheaper 144 Hz monitors (out of the box, that is). The DP cable that comes with the monitor is somewhat short (3ft, I believe) so if you need your monitor somewhat far from a plug, consider purchasing a longer DP cable (PrimeNow has a 10ft cable for $11.99). Also, this monitor has no cable management (not a big deal), so if youre worried about cords hanging loose, maybe invest in some cable clips. Overall a great product for the value, quality, and functionality.

TL;DR -> Great monitor but provided cable apparently died and was no longer delivering signal to the monitor. This resulted in a scare that the monitor had failed. Buying a new cable fixed the issue. This g-sync compatible monitor is excellent for its price and thus very valuable as most other g-sync monitors are at least another $100 more expensive. Out of the box, the picture looks a little brown (at least mine did), almost like the reading view setting on most smartphones. However, with a setting-tinkering, you can get it to look however you like. UNEXPECTED FLAW: This is something that i noticed some other reviewers talk about but though to myself: Surely it wont happen to me, right?. Well it happened.. I received the monitor and hooked it up and started using it with no problems, but fast-forward not even A WEEK later and the monitor goes dark and refuses to show what output through the display port input setting. This was incredibly frustrating, not only for the short time it took to start acting up, but for the fact that without an input from display port, you cannot use the 144hz/g-sync capability... which is likely the reason one would buy this monitor. I tried turning off and on a few times, and even tried changing display ports on my video card but neither of these worked. At this point, i remembered reading a review where the reviewer had the same problem but fixed it by ordering and using a new display cable. Well, however silly that might sound, using a newly-ordered (and 144hz supporting display cable) did the job and i was suddenly able to use my monitor again at 144hz with g sync. The only conclusion i can come to is simply that the provided cable is incredibly cheap and cant handle a high, consistent load during use. So, great monitor, horrible provided cable. If you decide to purchase the monitor, Id recommend purchasing your own display cable.

For 165hz and such a low price, its a great monitor. This is my entry into higher refresh rate gaming monitors and I love it. No more dying due to slow refresh rate or input lag. Finally I can lose just because Im bad

Very freaking smooth, Gsync works amazing on my card (1660 super, and 1650 super) but the display port issue is super annoying. For the people who look through the reviews as guidance, I will say that one of the most annoying things about this monitor is that some times if u leave ur pc to go get something for a min, and the monitor goes into power saving mode (where it turns off the screen until u move ur mouse) some times it won’t turn back on, it says no signal but the pc detects the monitor plugged in, I found the best solution to be, turning off everything, unplug the monitor, turn the switch off, turn ur pc off, and turn the switch off, unplug the pc and hold the power button on the pc and monitor for 5 seconds to flush the power, not at the same time though, then plug ur pc back in and turn the switch on and do the same for the monitor, then turn on ur pc, should fix but not all the time, this issue kind of goes away after a long time of use, anyways the monitor is freaking awesome, and it’s very smooth, if ur picky about quality, then try a better resolution.

I purchased this product back in 2017 and it has served me well for intensive fps games. I can’t judge its color options as I am not very color picky, my main concern was always just the 144hz refresh rate. Unfortunately, I just experienced my first dead pixel 3 years and 2 months after purchase (out of warranty). Overall it’s a decent beginner’s gaming monitor, just don’t expect it to outlive your computer.

I have TWO of these bad boys on my gaming desk. Very nice picture, very bright screen, and very responsive. I cant really complain at all with this monitor but if I had to give it ANY criticism it would be that the speaker(s) is/are complete trash so youll need headphones or a headset and the DisplayPort cable is very short. I mean, a 6 foot cable isnt too much to ask for in my opinion and I think the one in the box is 4 feet long. I have a pretty big desk so I had to go out and buy 2 new cables to get everything working correctly and actually plugged in. Otherwise, these are great monitors and G-Sync compatibility is a HUGE plus as I run a 1660TI in my gaming rig. Definitely a great buy for gamers.
