> 3 dayResponse 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!

> 3 dayFor $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.

> 3 dayPoor QC resulted in this monitor being shipped defective with thin lines ever few rows of pixels (I had this same issue with a Mac display so I was quick to notice) and in less than 24 hours of the display being used I have already received a dead pixel, I am assuming these issues are from a faulty internal power supply as the brightness flickers on the display at some points. Ill update my review when the replacement arrives however dealing with returns and a faulty unit leaves a sour taste in my mouth. However at this price for a name brand monitor for 2022 its still a good deal, if the replacement model is not defective as well.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayI would not recommend this monitor unless you are pressed to buy it and wont have a 144hz monitor for any other price. So, I bought this 144hz monitor for my new computer that I built. This monitor has poor picture quality, bad colors, connection issues, and bad brightness. Its not good. However, it is 144hz. So thats nice. Another bad thing is that, in three months from purchase, it got a vertical red line down the screen. Vertical red lines are connection issues that are nearly impossible to cause on your own and impossible to fix without removing the panel. I did not hit the monitor or do any moving when it appeared. I simply was browsing the internet. They said this damage was under warranty. I sent the monitor in for the vertical red line and it was fixed within a week and a half. However, it cost me 23 dollars and my time! I also noted that the monitor had other issues (including connection issues), which they did not fix. The only thing that was fixed was the red vertical line. I want my 23 dollars back! Again, I would not recommend this monitor. It sucks and Acer kind of sucks. At least they paid for the shipping label!

> 3 dayI can forgive its colors as maybe too different to line up to what Im used to as somehow the oddball out of at least six monitors, two tablets, and four phones Ive used in the last eight years, but what really gets negative points are how it interacts with the operating system. In my experience, when other external monitors are off, the system still recognizes them as connected, and the monitor comes to life as soon as the computer is back on. This thing takes its sweet time turning on when the computer turns on or when its own power is turned back on. When off, it might as well be disconnected. That is, if turned off while the computer is on, Windows will shift all apps to my other monitor as though the cable has been removed. No other external monitor Ive used has this behavior. While these are mild nuisances in the grand scheme of things, why suffer when there are no notable positives and countless other monitor options out there?

Greater than one weekUPDATE (Most Recent): Ive had the monitor for about a month now since the last update. The issue was fixed by completely unplugging my tower and monitor and just leaving them over night. Ive learned to avoid the issue by preventing the computer from going to sleep since Ive read that DP has some issues with waking up from sleep mode which is what I think caused my original issue. Occasionally Ill get the No Signal issue again and its usually fixed by just powering down my tower completely and then restarting it. UPDATE (old): Writing this a few days after my original review, my monitor is having issues getting signal over DP. Windows recognizes the monitor but the monitor shows No Signal when I try to turn it on. the HDMI and DVI inputs work perfectly fine but they dont do 144hz, which is what I bought this monitor for. Considering returning or selling this monitor. This is an affordable option for those looking for a 1080p 144 Hz monitor. I use it for both content creation work and just general gaming and its been awesome. Visuals seem crisp, colors are pretty good, and overall Im really happy with it. Out of the box the monitor is EXTREMELY bright. Like you could light a room with just this monitor. I have my brightness set to 0 in the settings and that feels significantly better to look at for long periods of time. As one could expect the built in speakers arent anything great, but Im incredibly pleased that Acer included an audio out port (3.5mm) on the monitor so you can take the audio from the HDMI or DP inputs and send them to your own speakers. The monitor has a button to activate Game Mode which seems to put some sort of sharpen filter on the screen and I have a feeling it plays a little bit with the colors as well. It also puts an FPS counter in the top right corner but that counter was a constant 144, even when I limited my framerate in games to 60 fps just to test it out so the counter isnt too useful and ultimately I think the Game Mode in general is a pain because of that sharpen filter especially. If you switch to Game Mode and then back to regular mode keep in mind that your monitor settings get reverted back to default, this includes color and brightness. Avoid the Game Mode button and this is a non-issue.

10-06-2025I have had this monitor for about a week now and I have to say this thing is great. I am using it for ps4 as of right now because I plan to get a pc in the future. Yes I know that 144hz isnt compatible with a console but as of right now this is all I have. Im mostly playing fortnite at the moment but I tested it out on other games and I literally just realized that there is a slight ghosting. Its nothing noticable at all but I was spaced out staring at my character while spinning and I saw like a small shadow or “ghosting” effect coming off his arm. Like i said nothing to worry about as I am guessing this wont happen on 144hz cause its a faster refresh rate and will be a ton smoother. I am just curious if anyone has this issue on theirs as well? This super unoticable ghosting is no reason why you should not get the monitor unless you notice a lot
