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

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

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.

My son build a PC and had me buy this monitor. He plays games and does school work etc. would recommend.

Monitor performs great, 144Hz was a great upgrade, but every 3 or 4 days Ill get a dead pixel in the mid-lower-right section and I have to lightly press on the screen to make it disappear. Its not detrimental to the performance, but when it happens in a game it takes me out of the immersion. Maybe mine is simply defective, but I would consider shopping around. The value was great, so I only knocked it down 1 star.

Well crap, was enjoying my Acer XFA240 monitor, loved my monitor up until the time it broke just 3 months later. I think I saw the same problem in a few other reviews but thought hey theres always a few bad apples in the bunch when it comes to purchasing a computer monitor no matter which company you buy it from, so I went ahead with my purchase. Unfortunately, I now have the same issue as some of the other reviews. My DISPLAY PORT has gone bad, my monitor runs through its load up by searching for which port it is hooked up to my computer then it says No input found and then puts itself in amber standby mode. I reconnected to the monitor using my Dual link DVI cable that I have connected to my second monitor and the monitor works great again, that would be all fine and dandy except you cant use Free-Sync when connected to DVI, Free-Sync only works through the Display Port and thats the only reason I bought this monitor was to utilize its Free-sync capabilities, so now I have a useless monitor for the purpose I wanted it to be used for. I have gone through ACER support and they seem to think that the Display port cable has gone bad, so I said ok send me a new one then since the display port cable was provided with the monitor. So, theyre sending me a new display port cable to hook up and if the new cable doesnt fix the problem which I find hard to believe that the cable went bad in that short a time, after I hook it up and it still doesnt work, I had them put that scenario in my support case with them so I dont have to go through this process again and have them just send me a new monitor. If it turns out to be just a bad DP cable, I will amend my review to reflect, as I really do love this monitor. Hopefully, they are unfortunate enough to have been including crappy DP cables with their monitors and it fixes the problem, will see. Update 14 May 2019: Ok, I didnt want to wait a couple of weeks to receive my replacement DP cable from Acer to see if the cable was the problem with my monitor so I went ahead and purchased a well reviewed DP cable here at Amazon, after plugging in to the same DP jack on my video card and monitor with the new cable I still had the same issue with my monitor not working, still showed No input found, however, I decided to plug the cable into one of my alternate DP jacks on my video card and low and behold my monitor works again. So, not sure where my problem lies, did the cable Acer supplied with my monitor eventually burn out my other DP slot, or did I have an issue with my less than a year old MSI GTX 1060 video card DP going bad, not sure, but anyway my monitor is back working again.

Good blacks No visible edge bleeding Very flexible stand I have it side by side with my main 4k 144hz monitor and I gotta say it aint that bad at all considering it is 1/5 of the price. I downloaded icc profile from rtings for this monitor, it allows to apply calibrated profile to this monitor for better colors. This is a very decent monitor for gaming and browsing. I found no problems with it although I wish it came with DP cable instead of hdmi.

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.

Response time: Personal I think that VA and TN panels are smoother than ips panels. This panel is responsive and don’t have ghosting… it’s great for the price. Pretty picture: Does not have pretty picture, BUT you can mess with settings and turn on HDR and mess with contrast! TN and VA panels will not get you ips colors… Overall amazing performing monitor for fps gaming… Switched from 27” hp omen X 27 (1440p 240hz) because I prefer 24” monitors.. I wish there were 24” 1440p 240hz monitors.. I would be all over it!

For starters, the monitor itself along with the bezel is much thicker than I thought. The monitor has built in speakers but they are essentially useless as the quality is so poor and they give off an annoying hiss. Im not sure if its the monitors fault but I should note that the gsync seems incredibly inconsistent giving performance boosts in some games and performance hits in others. Lastly, my biggest issue was the half hour of tinkering I had to do with the display settings in order to make the display not look blurry, dried and gray. To the monitors credit once I got the colors and sharpness where I wanted them, gaming was actually very enjoyable and the bezel disappeared into the background better than I thought. The pivots and swivels are very smooth and satisfying to adjust and can help maintain proper posture for those who struggle with posture while sitting. There is also hardly any if any back pannel light bleed. Which was an issue on my previous viotek monitor, so this monitor definitely wont be emitting any seemingly unnecessary light bleed. Some settings that made the image and display quality improve: swapping out of the preset color temp immediately brings more color and less gray. Super sharpening severely decreases the blurriness and brings a much more crisp image. The user color profile is aslo very balanced and neutral. And lastly slightly decreasing the black levels make darks and blues much more crisp and natural, taking a lot of gray out.

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.
