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

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.

I bought this monitor back in 2018 for $200, and it is still just as good as it was when I first purchased it. Im actually sad that the price has shot up since 2018 because Im looking into purchasing a second one of these. I mainly use this monitor for gaming (with G-sync Compatibility enabled), streaming movies, and schoolwork. I really have no complaints about this product. If you havent used a 144hz monitor before, the difference between 60hz and 144hz is noticeable. Something as simple as moving my mouse cursor is just an overall better experience. The 1ms refresh rate is also noticeable compared to my old monitor which is at a 5ms refresh rate. If this monitor ever drops back down to $200, I would definitely purchase it again. At its current price of $300 (on the Acer website), there may be other products on the market that have comparable or better features.

Color is awesome, runs smoothly. I use it on my laptop for playing Valorant and it runs much better than my screen. I get 150+ fps and 144-165 hz.

I bought this monitor to finally have a 144hz screen and g-sync for my 1070 SC video card. Its on an adjustable triple monitor stand in the middle of two BenQ 1ms 60hz monitors, the Acer being my primary and for games/movies. My only complaint is the same one most other owners have...out of the box the color/brightness/contrast settings are trash. I scoured google and reddit for an hour, trying different suggestions, until I got it right. With the recommend configs floating around the web, one size does not fit all, so you will probably have to tinker with the monitor settings for a bit to get it to work. Make sure youre on the latest video card drivers otherwise, like in my case, g-sync wont be an option in nvidia control panel. You also dont want the monitor setting OD or overdrive cranked up all the way, everyone says to leave it on normal.

First off, I really love the 144hz. Its kinda hard to describe how much different a screen is when running at 144hz. Everything is much more real looking. When you drag a window its like dragging a sheet of paper. I also like the adjustability of these screens. They have up, down and forward and back tilt. Where things are not so good is if youre reading text on the screen. Its pretty fuzzy which I suppose is to be expected on a 1080p screen but its not just fuzzy blacks are kinda washed out against white screens. You can try to adjust this but if you fix the black on white problem that creates a problem with darker videos. In essence theyre cheap 144hz screens and it shows for detail work. However, having said that, games look glorious (assuming you can live with 1080p) so if thats your primary use these will rock out for you. Edit: Ive had these monitors quite some time now and I find that while its true the text isnt super sharp its plenty good for most purposes and never really gets in the way of working. Bumped it up to 4 star.

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.

Very freaking smooth, Gsync works amazing on my card (1660 super, and 1650 super) but the display port issue is super annoying. For the people who look through the reviews as guidance, I will say that one of the most annoying things about this monitor is that some times if u leave ur pc to go get something for a min, and the monitor goes into power saving mode (where it turns off the screen until u move ur mouse) some times it won’t turn back on, it says no signal but the pc detects the monitor plugged in, I found the best solution to be, turning off everything, unplug the monitor, turn the switch off, turn ur pc off, and turn the switch off, unplug the pc and hold the power button on the pc and monitor for 5 seconds to flush the power, not at the same time though, then plug ur pc back in and turn the switch on and do the same for the monitor, then turn on ur pc, should fix but not all the time, this issue kind of goes away after a long time of use, anyways the monitor is freaking awesome, and it’s very smooth, if ur picky about quality, then try a better resolution.

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.

I purchased this monitor in October 2017 and in 2 months, it will be 3 years old. All I can say is, wow. This bad boy still works as if I just got it yesterday. Response time, frame rate, picture quality, EVERYTHING is still spot on perfect like day one. I bought it to use with my XO X and it hasn’t let me down yet, I don’t expect it too tbh. Games like PUBG, CoD, BF, RB6, heck even NBA2k (as hard as that is for me to admit) and pretty much any game you can think of with more emphasis on fast gameplay and great graphics, runs smooth as butter. 100% worth every penny you’ll spend. I haven’t done much research on this now, but at the time I bought this, I was looking for a monitor that had the capability to swivel, tilt, and move up and down without spending a ridiculous amount of money. Not a single monitor I was considering buying had this. Look no further. This monitor is the all-in-one package you’d expect for the amount of money you’re hoping to spend to have everything you want. I am however planning to use this once I get a PC in the near future, but with the new XB series X coming out, that’s gonna be a tough one. I hope this review helps anyone who is looking at purchasing this beast! Enjoy!

After 1-1.5 years, monitor quality of 2 out of 3 monitors makes them unusable. Awful vertical striping throughout the screens, no help from their support, not resolved through resolution changes or new cables -- there is some major hardware quality problem with these... My review was rejected for an unknown reason, so I did not re-attach the photo of the problem. Just be aware that these monitors have a serious issue that may only appear after Amazons return window has closed.
