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

Literally an amazing monitor, and for the price it makes it that much more satisfying. My only complaint is that Acers out of the box colors are bland and kinda bleak even faded a little. (This is super repeated on reviews I know). With a little tweaking and fiddling with the built in adjustment menu it’s easily fixed and you can modify it to your liking to extreme lengths. I messed with it for like 2 hours after I achieved my desired appearance just because it was kind of fun. The menu is kind of cool and well setup. Only reason why it was 4.5 out of 5 is because I don’t feel like I should have to mess with settings unless it’s really that bad out of the box.. which it kind of was - but now that I got it set how I like it, I’m in love.

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.

Id love to show the colors, but the monitor died today at less than 4 months. From what I remember: the colors are washed out and ugly; correcting them takes a bit of effort (and that doesnt guarantee youll ever get the colors right). Brightness is average, I guess. My Asus that was half the price of this looks so much better as far as colors go and brightness. The speakers are... complete garbage. If you like blasting sound out of Apple Earbuds (the ones that come for free with iPhones/iTouches), then these are for you cause thats what it sounds like. You absolutely need headphones or separate speakers for these. As a 144 Hz, it does its job and can go up to 144 Hz. Not much else to say there. My biggest issue is it is a load of crap and mine died within 4 months, and the only thing it did was sit on my desk. If it goes to sleep, it will be unable to receive signal from your PC and is pretty much dead. I managed to get it working again by powering it off, replugging the DP cable, etc., but it just decided to completely die today and wont get signal regardless what I do. Im looking to get it repaired so I can sell it off and buy a quality monitor. I guess I only have myself to blame for trying to cheap out on something as important as a monitor and buying this hunk of crap. As you can see in my picture, there is dust resting on the stand from how little I interacted with it physically. It did not break because I jostled it too much or anything of that sort; left alone it decided to just die. Do yourself a favor and spend a bit more to buy one from a more reputable and quality brand.

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 initially found this monitor when building my gaming PC. I saw $200 and thought I was compromising. Now, after almost 6 months of heavy use, I know this is no compromise. It does need some color tuning out of the box, but when you do, it looks amazing. The only downside I can find with the image quality is that dark colors arent differentiated well. It can be hard to see detail in darker games, such as Control or in darker scenes in Modern Warfare. The build quality and stand are phenomenal. The stand telescopes up and down about 6 inches, and also tilts up and down quite a bit. The monitor barely rocks when disturbed. I work from home, using this monitor for 6+ hours a day for work alone, plus an extra hour - 2 hours of gaming a day. This monitor never gives me any issues - no dead pixels, no heat issues, nothing. Ive used this with a Mac, Windows PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4. All work flawlessly. Obviously, you can get a better monitor. But for the price, this is such a great monitor, definitely worth the price tag.

For the price, This is a great gaming monitor. Ultimately I am very pleased with this monitor, despite a few shortcomings. (At the end of this review, I have shared settings that are widely shared across the web for better picture quality.) Ill start off with the few things I DONT like first. The Menu Buttons, I hate them. 6 rectangular buttons in a row on the bottom right of the monitor. I would prefer a joystick style. The Color, Horrible out of the box. Very bright, Very washed out. But very Fixable. The rest is all positive. My argument against the things I dont like will simply be For the Price, You cant Beat it. I paid $189.99 for this XFA240 monitor. For under $200 dollars, you wont be able to find a better monitor. Especially one with 144hz and 1ms response time. Performance wise, this monitor is a beast. This is my first 144hz gaming monitor, and you can literally feel the difference. I play mainly FPS games and in my 100% honest opinion, I believe monitor has enhanced my game-play. Those small precise movements, Split second twitch shots, Quick peaks from cover, ect. All start to feel...Right. I would definitely recommend this monitor if you can get past the wonky Menu Buttons, And washed out picture out of the box. Again, with some tweaking to the settings this monitor will perform fine. Again, Remember this is a sub $200 GAMING monitor. Its not going to compete with the big name monitors that easily cost $200-$400 more than this one. So it does have its short comings. But, For the Price...You cant beat it! Recommended Settings. This is a good base line, you may prefer to add a few more tweaks. Picture: Bright: 5 Contrast: 45 Black Level: 3 Blue light: OFF ACM: OFF Super Sharpness: OFF Color: Gamma 2.2 Colour temp: User * R Gain:55 * G Gain:52 * B Gain:50 All bias to 49 SRGB mode: OFF 6-axis hue: Default 6-axis Saturate: Adjust all to 55 except yellow saturate to 59.

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

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!

Bought this monitor back in 2019. Im about to build an entirely new, more powerful PC, and might consider purchasing a bigger monitor. Figured Id leave a review for this monitor as its a beast! I havent had a single problem with this monitor in the 3 years Ive owned it. Highly recommend if youre looking for a 1920x1080, 144hz monitor. Its an Acer, too, so I knew itd last me a long time.

Got this monitor for the PS4 pro. I have always played on my tv, but I decided to get a pc and wanted to play my PS4 at my desk. It’s completely different playing on this monitor then my tv. The response time between the monitor and the PS4 controller is almost instant and it improves your playing so much vs playing on a tv! Although this monitor isn’t HDR compatible for the PS4 pro/ps5, the picture still looks crisp and clear! Nice and bright and has many settings to adjust it to your liking. The speakers are not great, but I would never use so it’s not an issue. 10/10 and would definitely recommend!!
