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

Recieved one with dead pixels out of the box. However I am getting an exchange. From the short time I used it with the defective pixel, The performance was good. You may need to go adjust your monitor to 144hz as it may be factory set at 60hz. BEWARE nvidia purist! The monitor is not G-sync its AMD freesync. If you are in need for 144hz while on a budget this will do you just fine with no frills. The audio is comparable to a 1999 honda civic with 200,000 miles on it. But Im sure most of you keep your headsets on when you go into incognito mode anyways. Overall its a good budget monitor if you are seeking 144hz with 1080p quality. Otherwise take more shifts at work and get something that doesnt make you feel suspicious and read reviews because you want to be a cheap ass.

We bought this monitor to complement the Acer XF243Y. We thought this cheaper model with the XFA variant was just an Amazon exclusive. Be warned--this is NOT the case. The XFA uses a much cheaper TN panel while the XF uses a VA panel. If you dont know what this means, look it up. Its important. You get what you pay for. There is no mention of this on the product page nor the manual.

Ive been actively using this monitor for almost 4 years now. Now that Im working from home, Ive gone back through specifically to find this order to base my next purchase off of. Ive never had any issues, crashes, or bugs with it. The variable height is great and is easy to transport. Big fan and have nothing but good things to say about it both recreationally and professionally.

First off, the monitor itself is great. I have no complaints about the color/performance of this monitor. It has performed great and compared to many of the more expensive gaming monitors, the price is very reasonable. It does benefit to go through a color calibration process on your computer when you get it. By default, the monitor is a bit bright and washed out, but through calibration, you can get some really vivid and full colors from this thing. Anyway, the reason for the negative review is regarding the warranty. I purchased this in October of 2018 and one day only 9 months later the monitor would not work; it kept saying no signal. I called up their support number and got on the phone with someone and after going through a lengthy troubleshooting session. Firstly, I was talking with a person who I had a really hard time understanding. Between my kids making noise in the background, the quality of the phone call, and the accent of the person, I had to ask him to repeat everything he said for most everything. It was difficult, but I managed. After going through all possible solutions, he said that Id need to send it in to be repaired. They would not send a call tag to have the monitor picked up at their expense. Instead, I would have to send it in at my own expense, and in the meantime, Id have to either find a different monitor to use or be without a monitor for 7-10 days. I decided instead of paying for the return shipping to instead put that money toward a new monitor. Before buying a replacement, I kept trying to make the original monitor work, and fortunately, I have been able to get it working again (not really sure what made it work again), so I have not had to purchase a replacement. Again, I cannot say anything bad about the monitor, as long as it is functioning, but if you end up having to get it replaced, do not expect a great experience. Their policy of me having to pay (even if its just the shipping) to have it repaired is not acceptable to me, particularly within such a short window.

The first couple of weeks for this monitor was 4 stars. Decent picture quality that required a lot of settings tweaking to get looking right, 144hz was great compared to my old 60hz monitors and a good range of motion. However after a couple of weeks, I started seeing issues. About 50% of the time that my computer and both monitors went to sleep, the monitors would not wake up with the computer. I would get a No Signal message when using the Display Port. The only fix was force restarting my machine. A fix for this was turning off the monitors and flipping the power switch on the back off, but if I ever forgot to do this it had a chance of not waking up from sleep. The G-Sync on the monitor caused flickering when using it in games. The only fix was turning it off completely. About a week later, one of the two monitors started flickering whenever I would move my mouse. I didnt notice it while gaming, but most other apps would be clearly flickering slightly. At that point I just decided the headache of trying to troubleshoot this wasnt worth it and I returned them and replaced them with two ASUS VG248QG 24 165hz monitors. The price is almost the same and Ive had 0 issues with them as opposed to these. I really wanted to like these, but once the issues started it wasnt worth fixing them

I absolutely love this monitor, sure it’s not the top of the line and only 1080p but gaming in 4K is expensive. Pros: - 1ms - 144hz - Price - Overall appearance - Sturdy stand - Easy adjustable screen Seriously I had semi low expectations when buying because it was cheaper than some but honestly it’s fantastic I love the stand it doesn’t move or rattle or anything it’s probably the best stand I’ve ever had for a monitor. It has small borders around the screen so it’s not massive and doesn’t take up a lot of space on your desk. Not sure why people say the colors looked washed or whatever to me they looked pretty good I took about 5 minutes messing with the setting and bumped it to 144hz cuz it’s in 60hz standard and it was 100 times better. Cons: - LED power light - Settings So when I first got it I couldn’t figure out what was bothering my eye thought maybe I needed to adjust to the 144hz. Figured out that when the screen is adjusted to the top of the stand the power light was like beaming me in the eye, super annoying. Easy fix cover it with a super small piece of duct tape so you can still see it but not right in the eye lol. The settings menu is a bit of a pain in the ass to manage around to changing stuff but honestly I set it once and never touch it again 9/10 so who cares. You have to go into the windows advanced settings to bump it to 144hz and you need a DP cable HDMI I believe can be set to 120hz. In conclusion guys honestly you won’t be dissappointed in this monitor I love it. Does everything I wanted in a monitor and I don’t get eye strain from long sessions of use which is awesome! Also the price makes it even more attractive. For people who gave it 1 star for a white screen, come on shit happens you got a bad unit, they replaced it under warranty, it happens. For real though if you’re like me who has to check 50 different same items trying to decide, just buy this one it’s great! EDIT: 3 years later and still going strong. Best 1080p monitor Ive ever bought. Not a single dead pixel, no flashing, still bright af, and its actually brighter than my Dell DG2716 and the white is more true lol.
