> 3 dayI bought this to use as a second monitor for grad school. It serves its purpose, but Im no sure it would be a good choice for gamers (Im no expert though!). I like being able to work on a bigger screen than my laptop, and its way better for ergonomic purposes. The one think that I dont like is that it is SUPER bright. Im currently using the level 1 of brightness (out of 100), and thats the only level that I can stand. Other than that, its good for the price!

Greater than one weekBought this after my Asus monitor started to get bad. At first, I had a problem where the image was very yellow, which I noticed when the white Acer logo appeared green. I was not able to fix it on my computer, I had to mess with the monitors RGB Gains, which was aggravating my hand since the controls were on the underside of the monitor. After a couple of days of trouble shooting, I got the whites to an acceptable tone. Occasionally, in areas covered by a flat bright color, such as an image of the sky, I could see the pixels, but it can be overlooked, especially if you are playing a game or watching an action movie.

> 3 dayOK, FIRST of all, I only got this about 2 hours ago, so keep in mind that this IS subject to change. FIRST pros! 1. The ease of use was fine. After hooking it up, I simply hit the on button, the first switch from your right just to the right of and behind the prominent LED. The led is subtle and blue when on. I didnt need to set anything else. 2. It DOES tilt, but it isnt that obvious. Once assembled, you have to push the top of the monitor to tilt it. It should be a little easier, but it is fine. 3. The picture is fine. 4. If you have a VGA monitor, it comes with a cable for it. I got a long hdmi cable to hook it up. 5. The price seems about PERFECT! It seems the smaller ones are not much less, if they are at all, and ones that are slightly larger cost a LOT more, so this seems to be the current sweet spot. And in this range, this particular model is probably about in the center of the price range. The ONE con I had was that I spend so much time looking for a monitor with a good track record, that I slipped up on getting my one nice to have I hoped for, AUDIO. This has no audio, apparently. Otherwise, it is FINE for the moment. I spent a while, and even went to anther company, to make sue the reliability and features were there. Heres hoping I feel the same way 2 years and more from now. The last monitor I got, for another system about 4 years ago, and STILL working well, is a model that isnt made any more, and the related monitors have a lower general rating than I would like, so I picked THIS one. BTW I didnt rate gaming, as I dont play games. I imagine it is about as good as most monitors here.

> 3 dayI bought this monitor as a secondary for my gaming setup. My main monitor is much nicer and so it’s easy to compare the quality. This monitor has mediocre color quality and is a bit small but for the price you can’t ask for much else. Just a good monitor at a low price

> 3 dayThe attached picture shows the blurry text that only started happening after switching from my tv to this. I changed no settings other than making text bigger after switching from my tv to this so why are things so grainy and blurry with this number 1 ranked monitor? I only bought this monitor to help my eyes.. I have bad eyesight and as I age its getting worse. Going from a 43 inch tv to a 21inch monitor is difficult but Its helped me enjoy streaming more since I still use my tv for streaming. Its helped me play LoL better because now I dont have to look two feet to the side anymore lol. I am disappointed with how hard it is to clean the screen. My tv screen is also hard but it never absorbed water(maybe my tv has a coating or something). I wish I would have known this screen absorbs things before I tried to clean it.. Made a permanent smudge(maybe its not permanent and I just dont know what cleaner Im supposed to use on screens). I had old monitors that were SO easy to clean the screens(LCD flat panels..). Since Ive been using this monitor and keeping my tablets blue light filter on I have not had a single eye strain related eye twitch. I just wish it were capable of being cleaned and that things werent so GRAINY. The only reason why Im not sending it back is because its clearly helping my eyes not get as strained..... I would have given it less stars if I didnt care about my eyesight as much. I can confirm it has tilt but I couldnt figure out how to get the tilt to STAY tilted without re screwing those two screws back in(which made it not tilt anymore lol..) So I wedged a Popsicle stick in it to keep it SECURELY tilted. Luckily I cant see the eyesore when using the monitor even with it tilted back. Im not sure why it takes 6 seconds for this monitor to turn on. My entire pc only takes 13 and its 8 years old(with a newer nvidia gpu that makes me want to go back to amd sometimes). I wish the power light didnt blink when in standby mode. Id love to not turn this monitor off when Im not using it because it goes to standby mode very quickly after my pc is off and only uses 0.05 watts more than being off and plugged into outlet but that blinking power light is too annoying.
