> 24 hourI was a bit worried about the monitor because of the other reviews, but Ive had it for a month or two at this point and havent had any issues with it so far. My biggest concern with the monitor is that a few reviews were saying the monitor was 120hz at max using an HDMI cable. However, using the HDMI cable included with the monitor on my laptop, I could get all 165hz. Good quality screen, I havent experienced anything weird with the screen. My only issues with the monitor are minor design things I find a bit annoying. The cables stick right out instead of straight down, which means I cant really put it against the wall that well. Another thing is the weird button on the back you have to use to navigate the menu. Not only is it in a weird spot, it sucks to use it. Finally, this monitor doesnt have a speaker, which is fine cause I didnt buy a monitor for the speaker. Unfortunately, it also doesnt have a aux connector thing so you cant plug a speaker directly into the monitor. This isnt such a big deal since Im usually using earphones on my computer, but I also like to connect my switch to this monitor and the switch dock ALSO doesnt have a thing to connect my earphones to, so I dont get any sound while playing on switch. Overall, great monitor with small flaws. I very much recommend it.

> 24 hourThese monitors are amazing! I ordered 2 and they are perfect! They look better than expected and are very thin. The curve is a nice touch. The screens were not damaged upon arrival and it was packaged very nicely. I did notice a few minor scratches to the stands but they are barely even noticeable.

> 24 hourIve had this monitor for a few weeks now. Hasnt failed me yet. Unless your face is really close to the monitor, 1080p looks fantastic. 120 and 144hz run very smoothly. It becomes a little choppy sometimes but that might be because of my very old GPU. My only con is that the menu button is hard to reach (on the back of the monitor) and changing settings is much more difficult than it should be. Other than that, its pretty great. For a curved 144hz monitor for only $199.99, its a pretty good steal.

> 24 hourI do this review after a year and a half of use, the quality in general is of a high quality plastic I have not had any problems to date of rapid wear as in other brands it has a well defined range of colors so it is not need to recalibrate unless I am very strict about this, free sync works perfectly on my computer with nvidia the first time i turned it on it felt amazing to see the perspective of the curved screen Now why didnt I give it 5 stars? After 3 months of use I see that some small dots appeared on the left side, dead pixels at first I was quite indignant but with the passage of time they simply stopped caring because they do not bother me at all switching from 60hz to 144hz is amazing it really is worth every penny so I highly recommend this great monitor

> 24 hourSo far everything is working and arrived in good shape. At first glance I will admit I wasnt sure it was curved. I have a Samsung Curve and their curve has a bit more bend to it, alright on to the actual review. NOT DOA - whew (my box had serious gouges from what looked like a sharp metal corner in several spots), no dead pixels either... Im winning at this point. Assembly was a cake walk, pulled it out and plugged right into the stand with a single screw (decent quality). Both the monitor and mount are light, the screen is easy to adjust from a forward/reverse swivel at the base. The button on the back (stick) is easy to use. Ive seen comments that its finicky but honestly my Samsung has a similar selection stick - so I didnt find any issues. This does work with G-Sync or FreeSync - just so you all know - Nvidia came out back in January of 2019 and made more of their monitors universal. Once I had the Nvidia Control Panel up and running (had to update GPU drivers before Win10 would see it) - getting performance and refresh up to 120hz was a few clicks and done. If you want 144hz you will simply have to right click on the background of your desktop - go to display - select the monitor - advanced setting - set refresh to 144hz. I have not played with color tuning just yet, Ive only had the monitor for about 3 days and this was the last item I needed before I built my PC. I plan to play with the colors later and will re-review in a few months. I havent put any games through the ringer on it due to a mobo - m.2 drive issue (thats another review) but I did do a few CPU Bench Mark tests and once the refresh rate was fixed I was wizzing around between 189 - 320 fps on high details. If you use the G-sync you lose fps in order to prevent the tearing - just be aware. I will give a 5th star if it rates one or take one later if something happens - 4 stars is just the highest I will give at this point. If youre trying to decide on size or this one, I can say I was there. 24 is plenty for me. Leaves me with room to expand if I want to, plenty of mount/keyboard room and tower on desk. Great bang for the buck Cons - Ill let you know.

> 24 hourTurn the gamma up to 65% and the color will look better and more vibrant and less washed out

> 24 hourI had two Acer monitors of this same type prior (from a couple years ago). They were awesome. Plug them into my laptop... viola! I can use them. Sadly, one got knocked over and destroyed by my cat. I was happy to find this seemingly same monitor. I am so, so, so disappointed and frustrated. The monitor either does not sync with my laptop at all, displaying no signal, or it cycles through every possible syncing option causing all of my screens (the other monitor and my laptop) to flash incessantly without ever connecting. I typically waste 5-15 minutes each day as I try to get myself set up. It used to take 5 seconds. If I dare leave my desk long enough for my laptop to go into sleep mode, its another 5-15 minutes of restarts, trying to play with settings, trying to push the buttons on the monitor, etc. I actually do not know what works. It seems completely random. I bought this months ago and was too busy to deal with these issues at the time and traveling a lot, so I simply worked from my laptop alone (without the additional monitors). Now that I am back and have a more stable schedule, I would LOVE to benefit from having three screens, but there are days that I just give up and work with two or my laptop alone. What a disappointment!

> 24 hourI love the quality, except 1/3 of the screen is damaged pixels. Was super excited for Christmas only to be utterly disappointed.

> 24 hourThe monitor was overall a really good buy before the problem occurred. It handles games well and has good contrast. But after some time of use I have noticed that Alt Tabbing will make the screen blurry and pixelated. It is still usable if you just think of it as a really bad quality AA. But it occurs every single day while having a full screen application opened and Alt Tab to switch to other windows. It brings me a lot of problems because I was in the middle of something and the screen goes blurry and I have to restart the computer to get the normal screen back. Also the monitor is really hot after a few hours of use even with very low brightness. I would not recommend this monitor to those who likes to game a lot. Until they resolve the issue, spending a bit more and get a better monitor is probably a better option.
