Acer Nitro ED240Q Sbiip 23.6 Full HD 1920 x 1080 VA 1500R Curved Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | 165Hz Refresh Rate | 1ms (VRB) | ZeroFrame Design | 1 x Display Port 1.4 & 2 x HDMI 2.0 Ports

For the price this is a solid monitor. I am just using it for my PS4 till I switch to desktop and it has been good so far. The only thing I have to say negative about it. Is that is does seem a little washed out on the color. But after messing with the settings a bit. I found something I liked with it. Otherwise, decent monitor for the price.

This performs far better than I thought it would at this price. Perfect size for me, slight curve adds depth to high graphic video games. Has no problem running No Mans Sky on Ultra graphics mode. No slowness or refresh rate slowing. The only way you are getting a better performing monitor than this is by increasing the price 5-10 times.

I bought two of these and they have been nothing but problems since I got them. They do NOT last at 144hz 1080p which isnt even a high bar for today. BOTH of them have had different issues but revolving around the same problem of the monitor simply not being able to run at 144hz without the monitor itself either going fully black or having black lines.

It works pretty well for what I need at the moment. Hooks up to my Mac book perfectly.

This monitor was alright. I went from 60hz to 144hz and can notice the difference in smoothness, for FPS games this is a very good thing, it allowed me to react faster and more accurate since I disabled vsync and capped my framerate to 144hz, input lag was gone. However its harder to take advantage of the 144hz refresh rate in many other games other than FPS (which never usually have high requirements). So I weighed the difference and returned this monitor for a 1440p 60hz panel. The new monitor I got is fine enough for me, since I modified some settings in my GPUs settings to reduce screen tearing. 144hz is still what I wouldve aimed for had a monitor at 1440p and 144hz not cost so much (upwards of $500). I like the clarity more, and the IPS panel is a plus. With this monitor I noticed a difference in colors from IPS to TN-VA panel. Colors looked a bit washed out and I had to continuously modify settings to get them to look pleasing at all. Even still the blacks were too dark (I fooled around with black boost) or if I turn black boost up everything was even more washed out.

You can tell it was cheaply made but it does look great and is 144hz

Ive had this monitor since about February or March. I got it on sale for $162, which was a steal really. I now have a dual monitor setup and this is my primary monitor. I use it mostly for gaming. The setup was also super easy and straightforward! Even a dummy like me could do it haha. The 144hz is SUCH an upgrade from my 60hz monitor, and now I can play games like Overwatch and Apex Legends on a smooth frame-rate and really make use out of my GPU. Just a heads up though - once you go 144hz, you cant go back. I played on my brothers 60hz monitor and almost had an aneurysm haha

Really liking this monitor, just hard to get used to so big of a screen for a monitor, 27. Is great if I want to watch a movie. I dont do gaming, so no rating on that.

Great picture for what I need it for. Nice great for gaming because as images blur at tomes.

Not sure if it is a trait of curved monitors, or this particular one... But this thing has a god awful picture sitting next to any other 1080p monitor I have in the house. I will probably give this one away. The physical controls / buttons on the monitor are horrible. Its some weird joystick thing on the back side of the monitor. I only sometimes reach for it for volume, but if you had to navigate the menus or input with this monitors buttons it would be a huge pain. The speaker is facing out the back side of this monitor. This makes no sense and practically makes builtin audio either ear-piercingly loud or ultra quiet / muffled. I created a shroud using a sheet of plastic that hangs over the speakers housing which reflects some sound back to me, its a bit better, but still pretty bad. There is an audio out AUX port which is a probably the best feature of this display. The power supply and plug is not only unique to this monitor, but comes paired with a massive inline power brick that I had to rig up on the back side of my desk since its weight otherwise dangles in midair and pulls on the AC plug connected to the monitor. You can not use a normal cable that 90% of monitors and PC power supplies use. Another terrible choice in design. Display ports are limited. One HDMI, VGA and DVI. So, if you have Display Port cables youll have to get HDMI-to-DP if you need DP on one end. Didnt think this would be a problem when buying, but its been a huge pain. I could do without VGA or DVI in place of a DP. You can probably get VGA and DVI monitors for free or dirt cheap. Not sure why these are still being put on monitors. Adapters exist to step down, stepping up from an old port to a newer port defeats the purpose. You lose all the quality. At least if you adapt to VGA / DVI, you can remove the adapter and gain your quality back. In the long run, an HDMI switch and a DP-to-HDMI cable saved this monitors life in my house. Also, the audio out AUX port helped to fix the terrible builtin speakers (poor quality is mostly due to orientation). But you might need a mile long AUX cable. (Which for whatever reason are a fraction of the price if you buy an AUX extension, instead of an actual dual-sided AUX cable. Buy a shorter AUX cable, plug it into a multi-foot long extension AUX cable. You will save money!)
