Acer 21.5 Inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Ultra-Thin Zero Frame Computer Monitor (HDMI & VGA Port), SB220Q bi

Use it only for my PS4, great picture and easy to set up.

The 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.

Overall, I like these monitors. I bought 2 in order to complete my dual monitor setup. Being IPS monitors, they have great viewing angles, and the picture quality is very nice. These are considerably better than 2 previously bought items. However, my ordering experience definitely could be better, along with some other things like product consistency. My first order was shipped to a completely different address. Secondly, my 2 monitors seem to have a strange difference. The first one that I received had a max refresh rate of 60hz, despite the label. Whats even weirder is that my second monitor DID have 75hz, so either I was given a slightly different product or theres something wrong with it thats not due to the monitor. Finally, I still cant understand why these packages came with VGA cables, rather than HDMI. It really doesnt make sense in my opinion. Im not too bothered by the refresh rates, as I only need the 75hz as my main monitor while my second monitor can be the 60hz. However, I just wish that consistency could be improved.

The seller was great. The screen connected without any issues and is scaleable.

Was thrilled with the picture quality and size, but it did not have built in sound. This was going to be used for a desktop, which I couldve added speakers to, but defeated the purpose. Otherwise a very good deal for the money.. just no sound.

I have a somewhat older 27” Acer monitor that I couldn’t find a match for at a price I wanted to pay. In fact, it was more economical to buy two of this monitor instead. The other Acer monitor was a deciding factor in trying these ones out for a budget dual-monitor setup. At first, the monitors seemed dim which was rather disappointing, but I tried out some of the display settings which has made the picture much more pleasing to look at. There is a subtle glare when darker images are on the screen which is much more apparent than my other monitor, but not horrendous. In short, there’s probably better monitors out there but for a cheap, 1080p monitor I feel it’s worth it. I will note that the monitors are supposed to be able to tilt. I ordered two, but only one tilts easily. The other one is firm out of the box and doesn’t seem to tilt without manipulating the stand.

First things first: please treat this review as a 3.5 star, which is what I would rate it if Amazon allowed me to. My main issue with this screen is that it has to be the sorriest excuse of an IPS/AHVA/PLS panel Ive ever seen. The viewing angles are actually so bad for left/right that there is only a very small position where I can leave my head so that there is no discolouration on the sides, worse than any TN panel Ive ever seen. Also, it looks like there is a lot of excess light directly off center to your heads position, as if there is backlight bleed that shifts as you move your head left and right while staring at the screen. Since this was purchased to be my second monitor, it isnt that big of a problem to ME specifically... but it also means its impossible to keep my head in the perfect position, due to it being off-center to me. I actually had to tilt the screen somewhat sideways (instead of being flush next to my main monitor) so that the sides would mostly look normal in terms of colour. Now I WILL admit that it is possible this is a defect with my actual screen, possibly some problem with backlight bleed or something, but since this is my only sample size, I must rate it accordingly. If Acer has a problem with my statements, they should step up their quality control game and not let a monitor like this pass inspection for sale. Now, the good! For a breakdown, Ive rated this a 4/5 for gaming, 3/5 for picture quality, and 5/5 for brightness, heres my take on each: - The input lag is quite low; there is no system lag while working on it. Being above 60Hz also gives it a solid edge for gamers. Gamers generally care less about viewing angle issues like what I described, so as a gaming screen this should not be too bad. Unfortunately I still cannot ignore the viewing angle problem due to how bad it is, and I will never rate any screen below 120Hz as 5 stars for gaming, so it settles at 4. - Picture quality is actually quite good. The contrast is great and the colours very crisp - if the viewing angles and backlight shenanigans were a non-issue i would probably even rate this 5 stars (largely considering the price), but alas, 3 stars. - For brightness, its certainly bright enough for my needs, though Ive not used it in direct sunlight. The anti-glare works well and it keeps its picture quality and visibility perfectly fine even with a flashlight shone at it. I cannot ask for more, so full marks here. All in all, for $90 I cannot truly complain. It does its job of being a screen for discord, watching videos/anime, and handling my stream alerts/notifications. Its light and easy to set up, the on/standby light is not bright yet still well visible, so not distracting in a dark room. Unfortunately viewing angle issue and discolouration it produces ALONE is enough for me to say consider other options, but the rest of the screen pulls it up a bit. If this is going to be your main monitor, and you are not someone who does little but game on your computer? Stay far away. If you need a cheap, decent screen for gaming or this is going to be a low-importance second monitor? Id say its up for consideration, if only because its 75Hz at this price point.

You’d be hard pressed to find a better 21.5 inch monitor at this price. It’s perfect for for almost all applications. I don’t game. The screen is very thin. I bought a second monitor after using the first one. I’m knocking a star off because it should ship with an hdmi cable instead of the obsolete DVI cable.

The display is clear and crisp, providing great color and contrast. Its also very easy to set up and use. The build quality is solid and the screen is lightweight, making it easy to move around. Overall, a great value for the price.

I bought these monitors to replace the VGA monitors Id previously been using. Im pleased with the size, brightness, and picture quality -- all a huge improvement over what I had been using, and at a great price. HOWEVER. These monitors are VERY thin and light, with a lightweight base. The result is that they move VERY easily. If I bump my desk, the monitors shift. If I have to reach behind them (such as to feed a cord behind the desk), Im afraid Im going to bump them and tip them over. If Id shopped for these in store instead of online, I would have purchased something thats more stable/more hefty. Overall, though, Im happy with them.
