Acer 23.8” Full HD 1920 x 1080 IPS Zero Frame Home Office Computer Monitor - 178° Wide View Angle - 16.7M - NTSC 72% Color Gamut - Low Blue Light - Tilt Compatible - VGA HDMI DVI R240HY bidx

I figured I would wait awhile before making this review. Its for the 23.8 inch R240HY bidx I feel I should mention the size because Amazon has this completely stupid policy now of merging reviews for what they think are similar products, so you never know if youre reading the review for the product you actually are researching, or the larger or smaller model with may or may not be similar in reality. In my opinion this monitor has good color quality, blacks are black enough, it can be tuned to be not too bright/blue (although most people seem to love screens as bright and blue as technically feasible). Its great for gaming, the screen looks larger than it is because the bezel is small. Its very thin. No dead pixels (my last 1080p Acer had one stuck red pixel, this was ages ago though). I have hopes it will last longer than my last one because of the LED backlighting. Main complaint is ghosting or trailing when scrolling on websites with dark font and colors that arent white. Theres a site I visit more often than others, and when scrolling the text ghosts pretty bad, its black text on a kind of blue/grey background and the ghosting is basically negative, as in it ghosts light almost white under the black text when scrolling. Hard to explain I suppose but even a literally ancient HP LCD monitor I have from Windows Vista era does not do this. Really griping I suppose and if you want consider this a five star review. I just dont give five stars unless I have no complaints. Acer is always a great value brand if youre willing to consider it might not last forever. Great specs and features for the price as always VESA mount would also be nice, if just so that I could get a second of exact same model for portrait use as a second monitor

For an almost-24-inch monitor in the Ben Franklin price range, this thing fits the bill. The IPS gives it good off-axis viewing which is important in its use as a secondary monitor to surround my 32-inch main screen. I dont know thats youd want to use it for gaming, but for office work it fulfills my needs perfectly.

I bought 4 of them for two dual monitor setups. All is well. Can’t figure out why they came with old school vga cables.

This is one of many Acer monitors I have purchased over the years. I never cease to be amazed at the brilliance and clarity that Acer delivers for the price. The monitor itself comes packaged very nicely in full wrap styrofoam with a screen protecting layer sheet wrapped around the monitor itself. When you take it out, it weighs practically nothing, and at first you thing Ehhh on the quality. But the nice thing is that the whole front of the monitor is all screen with a very very thin black frame. Dont let the light weight fool you, this monitor is no joke amazing. The base takes a bit of practice to put together. The bottom round portion is quite thick, metal, and sturdy with a heavy duty plastic arm that offsets the monitor. After it is put together its very customizable in angle and position. Its a little tricky to make sure the monitor really clicks in to the arm that supports it. If you have to take it back apart for any reason, just be aware there are little push points you have to depress to get the stand pieces back apart. That was the only time I thought of the arm as cheap because I thought it would break was in trying to take it back apart to pack away. But it proved to be very strong and I was impressed. When it is all done, its very minimalist looking and a nice addition to the office. I am very pleased and I would purchase over and over again.

I dont like the power setup because it has to have a power pack on the cord. I move the computer around a lot doing DJ gigs so always having to deal with that. Otherwise its a fine monitor.

I got this to replace a second smaller screen, and it sits side by side with my older Acer screen. i am amazed at the brightness and clarity. I now need to purchase a second to match as there is such a difference.

Bought two of these to set up an office at my gfs house. Extremely pleased! Easy set up with the bases, nice thin bezel, great, sharp picture. Easily compatible with my Dell monitors of the same size. I worked all week with them and I do a lot of graphic and design work, they were fantastic. Havent played any games on them, but would highly recommend these.

The color on the screen is bright and natural coloring. So much better than what I was using. Happy with my purchase

Needed another monitor for my job and once again Acer has met my expectations. I have 2 other monitors, one in 4K and the other 1080p, but the difference between the two is subtle enough to where 1080p is completely fine. The main thing I like about this monitor specifically is the price.

The screen arrived in good shape, the next day, which is great. It can be adjusted from very dark to super bright, and is very clear. The not-so-good: The directions on how to mount the base are incorrect. There is nothing to slide out, so you can not pull the monitor base out fully, and no two white screws to secure the base. Also, there is no indication on the front of the screen frame as to where the adjustment buttons are. You would have to label them yourself or use trial and error to make adjustments. Third, a simple pivot in the base would make it possible to orient the screen optimally - its at 90 degrees from the tabletop, whether you like it or not. Buying a separate base would require it to have 4 screw holes in the back to attach it to the support arm, but there is no way to mount an adjustable arm to it. As a side note, you will probably have to adjust the screen settings (in Settings - Display on Windows) to make the picture fill out the screen. One you have it right it looks very nice. So the bottom line is that it looks great and I will enjoy using it. In 2023 its a plug-and-play device that we could only have dreamed about a decade ago. At 99 bucks (plus tax and recycling fee) its a very good deal if you are happy with it not being tiltable. It could be much better, though, at almost no additional manufacturing cost. EDIT: There is a serious glitch with this monitor - when you install it, you lose access to sound on your computer. The monitor has no speakers, and the speaker jack in the back does not provide any audio signal. The menu allows you to mute or unmute, but never allows any sound. Online research shows that other people have this problem as well, and there is no solution. I called Acer Customer Support, entered the serial number, heard music for a minute, went to silent hold and got hung up on. If I can not find the solution for this problem, then this monitor is going back. It would be a shame, because the picture is very good, in spite of its other design shortcomings.
