    The high refresh rate is great but the picture quality is lacking.

    For context, I now own two of these monitors, and these are my first. I bought the first one back in May 2019 for my PS4 and Switch (I game a lot), and the second in October after building a PC. I originally loved keeping the 1ms response time I was accustomed to on my TV for under $200 (at the time of writing it is $169.99), and was fine with the display and picture quality (though it took some time to get used to the smaller screen compared to my 60in TV). The monitor has settings to change colors and what not and also features a Game Mode that I suspect is the Acer EyeProtect’s Flicker-less, Blue Light Filter, ComfyView and Low-dimming technology mode. But the real change came in September when I built my first PC and connected it to this monitor. Playing with 144hz does make a real difference when playing, allowing you to see things come in focus much quicker than the 60hz I was used to, and the 1ms response time feels amazing for those accustomed to 3ms or more. It does get bright and may hurt when gaming for 8 hour prolonged sessions, but you can turn on Game Mode or dim the lights through settings. Plus, the fact that its adjustable is great, allowing it to adjust to a proper height or angle. My buddy, who still plays with a PS4, got one after I recommended it for his short desk setup, and adjusting it so it was facing him was a huge bonus for him. And for the price point its a welcome addition. Overall, solid monitor for under $200 and these have been great starter monitors for PC gaming for me.

    Edit: A few things if youre having trouble!! *** If you arent getting 144 hz: right click on the desktop and select Display Settings. Scroll down to Advanced display settings. Now select Display adapter properties for Display X where X is the display the Acer monitor is at. Now select the Monitor tab, and change the Screen refresh rate to 144 Hertz. Select Apply and then OK and you should be good to go. *** If youre getting No Signal: first try updating your drivers. If you have an Nvidia card, open GeForce Experience to update your drivers. If that still doesnt work, buy a new DisplayPort cord and see if its that. Other than that, you might have to give Amazon or Acer a call. ============================================== Original Review: Mind you, I was coming from an 8-year-old 60hz monitor, but boy are they right when they tell you it is smooth like butter! I came from a 1920x1080 60hz 22 and upgraded to this 1920x1080 144hz 24. the two inches is so noticeable. I love the stand; its so easy to move around, and the up-down motion is ridiculously smooth. Like, its super easy to move up and down, yet it doesnt listen to gravity and slowly fall down? All in all, Im super happy with my purchase! What an improvement! :D

    PSA: I initally thought Amazon shipped the wrong monitor because the box has the FreeSync logo but nothing about G-Sync. This is a G-Sync compatible monitor meaning NVidia has certified that it will work with G-Sync. When I bought my gaming PC in 2014, I was not aware that not all monitors are created equal. Specifically, monitors that run at 60 Hz will limit gaming performance to 60 frames per second (FPS). When I upgraded to a GTX 1070, I wanted to get a G-Sync monitor that would show me what kind of performance I could get if it was not artificially limited by the monitor. I was very pleased when I found this monitor. It runs at 144 Hz. I bought it in June 2019, and I am writing this review, January 2020. Some people may be put off by the fact it is a TN panel instead of IPS. I am very happy with the quality of the picture. Even when I am not gaming, I notice the movement of the mouse cursor is smoother. I bought 2 monitors because I wanted a dual monitor setup. I was used to using 2 monitors at work, so I dont know why it took me so long to get 2 monitors at home. Its so nice to have a game running on 1 monitor while having something else, like a browser or Power DVD. on the other. If you use your computer to browse websites, watch videos, use productivity apps, or basically anything other than gaming, I do not recommend this monitor. In my opinion, this monitor is overkill for anything other than gaming. Buy a cheaper monitor if you dont play games.

    Worth the buy for the 144hz and G-Sync compatibility it has. Was a great combo with the GTX 1660TI I bought to play games with and NVIDIA announcing G-Sync compatibility to with many other monitors, this being one of them. Picture quality is okay, not the best, but just ok, monitor is very bright, had to lower the brightness so much just to stop it from hurting my eyes. One thing that really annoys me with this monitor, is that it often has problems detecting a video source, the monitor will cycle over and over through the video ports but wont detect anything even if there are things connected. This usually happens when the monitor and or computer goes to sleep. If any of those happen, it will more than likely never pick up the video source again and I have to force shut down the computer to fix it. I have searched online over this issue and it seems to be the monitor and not my GPU. This issue also happens when booting up the computer after the computer has been off(shut down). I have to have the monitor off, turn the computer on, wait to let the computer be in Windows Welcome/Log in screen to finally be able to turn on the monitor safely without having that video source issue. I kinda figured out a trick to know when its ready to turn the monitor back on, and its when my Logitech mouse stops cycling through the RGB colors and is set to 1 color because of the settings i have on it. Once the RGB on the mouse stops cycling, is when I know its at the windows log in screen and its safe to turn on the monitor to avoid the video source cycling issue. This is really annoying to deal with, and am taking a star off because of this. Should be 3 stars because of how annoying it is, but its such a great monitor that Im leaving it with 4 stars. Maybe someone on here has a fix for this issue if others know about it.

    I sold my 60hz ultrawide for this 144 because I had upgraded my pc and thought its stupid to be getting 100FPS+ and only have the monitor show 60. Right away when I plugged it in, even from moving the mouse I could feel and see the difference. This monitor is great and has a lot of settings and allows you to save setting profiles within the monitors software. 24 is massive and the stand easily holds its weight and feels really fluid when adjusting the monitor. The only downside to this monitor is the sound is from 2 tweeters and it sounds like actual garbage. I would def. recommend sticking to your headset/external speakers. They shouldnt even have the speakers in the monitor its a waste!

    Poor 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.

    I bought this monitor back in 2019 december so its just been about 3 years. I am still using it as I speak and its been an awesome monitor. No dead pixels or anything, the only thing that has bugged me with this monitor is a group of atleast 2 or 3 stuck pixels that will be on my screen but to fix it all I do is barely push on my monitor where the pixel is and it goes away for a while, itll come back in weeks to months later but its not a huge deal to me, still a great monitor for the price.

    All works good. So far only thing I dislike are the buttons that are used to configure the screen settings. Also everytime I switch to gaming mode the reticle and frame rate shows. Wouldve been better if it could be disabled fully.

    I 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!
