    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.

    This Monitor Barely Had Any Reviews But It Was Well Worth The Price It Was ($119) Which Is The Price Of Most Off Brand Ones. Its Been Perfect For Gaming And The Refresh Rate Is Great. Playing Competitive FPS Games Shows No Signs Of Tearing Or Latency Lag Its Smooth And Crisp. I Chose This Over The Sceptre Monitor Everyone Recommends For A Budget Gaming Monitor, The One Drawback Is That It Doesnt Have Speakers But I Use A Laptop So If Im Not Using My Headphones It Has Speakers. Sidenote: The Screen Height And Angle Is Adjustable And Has Some Cable Management

    Lets start by saying this is a FREESYNC monitor that is G-SYNC ADAPTIVE. It has the software to correctly interact with the NVIDIA control panel when everything is installed properly but it is not a dedicated G-SYNC monitor. Why does that matter? What could be so bad? Who cares? Well if you are streaming and have two monitors or regularly tab out of game during loading screens to a different monitor the G-SYNC adaptive monitor flickers off, goes black, resets and causes Microsoft to try to reconfigure your monitor settings because now you have 1 less monitor to use. Wait the monitor turns back on but G-Sync isnt on anymore... (you dont notice, youre still wondering what just happened and you watched your black screens for 5 or 10 seconds as they figured themselves back out. So you tab back over to the game not getting to do what you tabbed out to do in the first place. When you tab back into the game G-Sync needs to come back on so the monitor flickers out again, your screens goes black, Microsoft loses its mind, you panic because you know the loading screens between games only last 20 to 30 seconds. The game screen comes back on but your frame rate is wrong because of a software issue. You have to go to settings and change the game from full screen mode to windows mode click apply, then back to full screen mode to fix the FPS issue. If your fast you get all of this done just in time to play. If youre not fast, or youre too confused by what just happened you get shot before picking up any weapon in the game and now you get to start this story over.... So if you get this outstanding monitor for the cost and image quality, its the only monitor you will be using and you dont tab out of game: 5 Stars (But dont buy another or well... read above....) If you bought this outstanding monitor but you tab out alot and use more than one monitor you are going to spend a few weeks trying to find the right settings to edit to minimize this gigantic G-Sync Adaptive Flaw. Best of luck.

    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.

    Bottom Line Upfront: The monitors color are extremely bright out of the box. I WOULD NOT recommend this product unless you have the motivation, time, and energy to adjust the settings in order to make the monitor look normal. Hey there! I would like to start off by that I bought this monitor primarily to increase my FPS while playing Overwatch. Here are a couple things I like about the monitor. The monitor is cheap (keep this in mind as you read further through the review). There arent a lot of 144Mhz Freesync monitors out there that cost less than $350-$400. The base stand is very nice. The stand is fully adjustable, which makes it super easy to adjust the height of the monitor. The monitor comes with DVI cable which made my life a bit more convenient. Heres what I didnt like about the monitor. The color profile looks extremely bad out of the box. The colors are extremely bright and saturated to the point where it was hard to tell a difference. I had to do A LOT of work to make the monitor look decent. I spent about 4-5 hours researching and applying the perfect settings. I even had to download a seperate program to help adjust the colors. This was a VERY time consuming and annoying process. However, Ive had no problems with the monitor since. In the end, if I had to do it all over again, I would just shell out the extra money for a better monitor out of the box. There is no worse feeling than receiving a brand new monitor only to find out that it requires numerous adjustments.

    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.

    **** Update, 3 years now, im replacing it with an MSI monitor, i still think this is a fairly solid monitor over all. But i still cant get the colors right. i have spent most of the time with this monitor having the light colors washed out because i need to see in dark areas in my games. The three hundred price point for this is way too high. if you get it on sale and it ticks all your boxes go for it, but there are way better monitors for less money. **** original review*** On paper this monitor has everything you could want, 144hz, dp and hdmi input, basic speakers if you dont have any other ones, audio pass through, vsync.... all the bells and whistles... but i can NOT get the colors to look right on this... the worst part is the darks are way too dark, i try to compensate with nvidia control panel settings, but if i adjust the settings to make dark colors look good the light colors get washed out. if i adjust the light colors to look right, all the dark colors are just black and you cant see anything in dark videogames, shows, or movies..... i would not buy it again. other than the color settings issues, its has everything you could want... if i ever figure out the color settings ill update my review, but ive already had this monitor for almost 2 years now i think? and i mess with it frequently and cant get it right so dont hold your breath.

    I bought this for the response time and the 144hz refresh rate, but the color issues are making me consider returning it. I like that it comes with a height/tilt adjustable stand--thats part of why I got this one over other options . The color and brightness issues I describe below are the main reason I give it 3 stars. I didnt think it would be as bad as it is. It has worked fine otherwise, so if you still think it wont bother you, it might be worth considering as a 144hz option, but I would recommend comparing it against other options first. *Color issues: I have noticed the frequently cited color issues. Out of the box, the colors are very off and very washed out. After calibrating the color and brightness, it looked a little bit better, but the colors were still off and inconsistent, and screen felt dim because of how low I had to adjust the brightness. The top left corner of the screen on my unit is also slightly more saturated than the rest of the screen which isnt noticeable unless the screen is a solid color like in some menus and on the Windows 10 ctrl+alt+delete screen. I know TN panels often have flat colors, but my laptop has a TN panel that does well enough. The color issues on this panel are extreme. Cables in the box: Mine came with a Displayport cable and a 3.5mm aux jack. You MUST use a Displayport or Dual-Link DVI cable to take advantage of the 144hz refresh rate. Otherwise, it will be capped at a lower refresh rate, so its nice that that was included. I will complain about the color, but props to Acer for including the right cable in the box.

    I bought this for $209 and is the best deal you will find for all the features you get with it. Comes with display port, which is extremely hard to find at this price and of course freesync (just make sure your CPU is compatible with freesync, otherwise this is useless). Runs great at 144hz and there is no input lag whatsoever. The main complaint i see about this monitor is that the colors come washed out, but personally I think the picture looks fine. The picture isnt anything to brag about but the way people exaggerate it makes it seem like the worst monitor on the market. PROS: Excellent value Freesync Display port (comes with cable) Base is amazing! Heavy and stable. Raises up high, tilts far enough and has a great swivel. CONS: some people would say washed out colors but I havent seen this to be an issue. Picture out of the box looks fine IMO.
