Acer CB242Y bir 23.8 Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Zero Frame Home Office Monitor with AMD Radeon Free Sync - 1ms VRB, 75Hz Refresh, Height Adjustable Stand with Tilt & Pivot (HDMI & VGA ports),Black

Did not switch on, cable was fine. I returned it and got my money back.

I was in the market for a monitor for a while, hunting for deals. My minimum specifications required were 21-24, 75hz, 1ms response, IPS panel. I eventually found two monitors (this and another) that shared technical specifications closely but one was a gaming monitor (sharp stand, etc) and the other was this sensible Acer. I ended up asking Reddit for a comparison, as the gaming monitor was up ~$50 more or so. Turns out that they were indeed the same panel, but you pay more for it to look like a gaming rig.

edit: The ghosting effect I had was actually because I had the overdrive setting set to extreme when I was testing it, after switching it back to normal, it no longer happens. So overall its pretty good for gaming and as an external monitor for mac book pro.

This thing is awesome. The size is just right for my setup. The brightness is great. The resolution is good with HDMI, but fantastic with DisplayPort! I highly recommend using the displayport option. The colors are great and it is flicker free. The elevation adjustment is also a very nice feature. It tilts nicely as well.

Everything runs smoothly and there no color issues. It does adjust up and down. The only problem is there’s no speakers or a place to plug in speakers

I am able to have so many tabs open that I am able to work well with the second screen. I love it. The only problem is because I have the larger screen behind and not beside my smaller screen it’s hard to remember which way to switch mouse use.

Very good monitor, easy to set up, picture is good. Sound is terrible, have to use external speaker to hear anything.

Instructions that came with this Acer monitor says cables are optional besides the power cord. Not true. HDMI cable to connect to a USB port or micro-port is mandatory. The HDMI cable is for camera. Also have to use a VGA output cable as well to a port.

Speakers dont work and neither does the camera. No instructions either. Nice display but how do I work the speakers and camera?

The picture quality is pretty good so theres no complaint there considering the price was quite good. The issue is how long it takes the monitor to latch on a signal.
