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

As a disclaimer for this review, I am exploring this from the perspective of a lifetime user of a below average, OEM, 60hz or below monitor. I am by no means the expert authority on displays. - The build quality is noticeably solid and has some weight to it. - The base and arm allow full ergonomic movement in every direction to include up, down, left, right, and full rotations. This is an impressive feature for such an inexpensive monitor. - With all of the negative reviews across the internet damning TN panels for having bad color reproduction, I find it hard to believe we are talking about the same monitor: Not only does this panel have a crisp image and good color reproduction, it is also extremely bright. In addition, I didnt notice any bleeding or dead pixels. - High refresh rate use and gaming is now noticeably better than ever. I cant, and will hopefully never, go back to 60hz. - G-sync compatible for Nvidia users out there. If yourre on the fence about this one, Do yourself a favor and ignore all other offerings at this price point from AOC, Spectre, and those other brands. Ive already done all of the headache and research for you in this regard. The only other monitor Id suggest looking at other than this is the BENQ zowie xl2411p.

Good price good monitor

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

As another reviewer had mentioned, after about 7 to 8 months of use, now the monitor will occasionally just go black. You have to disconnect power, hit the power button to clear the memory, plug it back in and turn it back on. This works about 70% of the time. Other than that, the color accuracy is pretty poor. If youre playing games that have a lot of bright and dark scenes, youll either end up with washed out whites or lose all detail in blacks. This is especially present in games like Tarkov. If you buy this monitor I would suggest changing the gamma to 2.4 as it makes this monitor a little more usable. Overall, if youre playing games that have fairly consistent scene lighting like COD and youre wanting to try out 144hz for cheap, get this monitor. If you can afford something a little more expensive, I would avoid this TN panel and look at the newer 144hz 1ms IPS panels. P.S. The best thing about this monitor is the stand.

it’s really dark and honestly not that great for the price refreshrate is decent but would highly recommend a different monitor

This 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.

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.

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.

Got this for $200 bucks and was well worth it. Returned my Sceptre Freesync monitor for this and was well worth the trade. The G-Sync compatibility actually works (people need to do their research and realize that this is FreeSync monitor that has G-Sync capabilities which is certified by Nvidia themselves) Picture quality is sharp and monitor looks like a bulky monster which I love. The stand is really big, but amazing for versatility of turning the monitor wherever you want (even vertically). Only downside is the weird default color/contrast. Theyre a bit weird with this monitor and needs lots of tweaking to your liking with the OSD settings. I also wish that this was edgeless, but its whatever. NOTE: You will need a flathead to screw in one of the stand pieces, they DO NOT give you one to setup the monitor so you will need your own. EDIT - April 2021... for the past two months or so Ive been having a stuck pickle popping in out and every once in the same area every once in a while... which can get annoying.

Edit: after a little over 2 years of use, the display port plug stopped working. I tried different cables and combinations with my graphics card to confirm it is the display port on the monitor. The hdmi port still works, but limits it to 120 refresh rate. Kinda stinks, but still a good purchase. The picture is great, but the real gravy here is the response time. My last monitor was also 1ms, but was 60 fps. The difference between that one and this one is insane. Make sure you use a display port cable and set windows to be 144 fps. Loving how instant everything is. Moving pictures are very clear, its super easy to read moving text. Also the stand it comes with is amazing. I was planning on getting monitor arms, because I like my monitors a bit higher up then most stand accommodate. (If your sitting up straight and looking straight ahead, you eyes should be just below the top of the monitor). But the stand can have the monitor high enough that I dont need one. Also it rotates and can even tilt the monitor to be in portrait mode, which is pretty cool. 100% recommend. Great performance monitor for the price. I will be getting 2 more for my side monitors because I hate the delay that I now feel when using any other monitor.
