Acer Nitro 24.5 Full HD 1920 x 1080 PC Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | Up to 250Hz Refresh | 1ms (VRB) | ZeroFrame | ErgoStand | 1 x Display Port 1.2 & 2 x HDMI 2.0 Ports | XFA253Q Zbiipr

This monitor is my central of three and I love it! Its elevated my gaming experience ten fold and if someone is looking to get a budget monitor that can stream seamless video quality in over 144hz, this is probably the best pick on this website. THAT BEING SAID there is certainly an issue with longevity that I have seen in other reviews as well. For one, if you plan on using a Display Port cable for this monitor, BOY HOWDY to you because this monitor LOVES to die for no reason. I think its faulty manufacturing but the display ports just DIE on this monitor, I have only had mine for 6 months. Luckily, all you need to do is swap to an HDMI and you can get crystal clear picture again, but youre compromising on frames at that point which should not have to happen in the first place! All in all, I recommend this product for sure! Just keep an extra HDMI handy for when the inevitable happens.

Everything is great, but you must change the default settings. Having the refresh rate glued to the screen isnt a great default (that has to be overwritten). The super sharpness setting also looked terrible to me, it creates way too many jagged edges and distorts the picture. This was all in game mode (I assume it helps the refresh rate) Past that, once youre set up youre good. I have yet to have an issue past fixing bad default decisions.

Poor QC resulted in this monitor being shipped defective with thin lines ever few rows of pixels (I had this same issue with a Mac display so I was quick to notice) and in less than 24 hours of the display being used I have already received a dead pixel, I am assuming these issues are from a faulty internal power supply as the brightness flickers on the display at some points. Ill update my review when the replacement arrives however dealing with returns and a faulty unit leaves a sour taste in my mouth. However at this price for a name brand monitor for 2022 its still a good deal, if the replacement model is not defective as well.

The base for the monitor screen is very stable holding it in and it is adjustable being able to move up and for left and right

Its a pretty solid budget gaming monitor. Its 144hz and theres a very noticeable difference when upgrading from 65hz, so just be sure to adjust your display settings as soon as you set it up. Use the DisplayPort cable that comes wit the monitor, bc HDMI & the others dont support 144hz nearly as well. The height and tilt are fully adjustable, which are pretty good perks for two reasons: 1) The colors can appear washed out from some viewing angles and/or if youre sitting near a window, so tilting it downwards can help immensely, and 2) Using the monitor vertically specifically when programming can make you more efficient. The speakers are just.. not good. Theyre very small and the sound quality is just meh, so plan on using external speakers or headphones bc these just dont suffice. If you still consider buying it, I would personally wait till the price drops to ~$180, which its done frequently over the past few months.

Bought this monitor back in 2019. Im about to build an entirely new, more powerful PC, and might consider purchasing a bigger monitor. Figured Id leave a review for this monitor as its a beast! I havent had a single problem with this monitor in the 3 years Ive owned it. Highly recommend if youre looking for a 1920x1080, 144hz monitor. Its an Acer, too, so I knew itd last me a long time.

Monitor is great for gaming but colors out the box are awful. Once adjusted it looks really good for games but my biggest problem with it is Whites just aren’t as white as Id like them to be. I can’t explain it but it’s definitely noticeable when doing something like a word document. Bezels are thick to some people that would be a problem. Does include a display port cable which is nice. VESA compatible always a plus. G-sync adaptive so is a freesync monitor that supports g-sync on 10XX & 20XX graphics cards. Built in speakers aren’t great but that’s expected of a monitor and I’m surprised they had speakers to begin with. Overall a solid monitor for gaming but biggest issue is colors

Awesome monitor for gaming. Looks great, very easy on the eyes. The colors are widely adjustable directly from the monitor to suit any taste. Honestly I cant tell the difference between 75hz and 144hz when Im not gaming, but as soon as I jump into a game the differences become surprising. Stealth characters are easily distinguished among the background due to the high frame rates and the extra second of response time that can allow has provided me with kills in situations I would have had trouble with my old monitor. Further this monitor is easily adjustable in many ways. It easily slides up and down and stays very stable even without a lock (though personally a lock would be nice for when I pick it up to move it). The whole base turns easily and the monitor has a large tilt range up and down. It also switches to portrait mode very easily. All this adjustability makes sure that the TN monitor is always exactly in front of your eyes to provide the highest quality it can (since like many TN monitors it doesnt have a great viewing angle). The only annoyance with this is since the adjustments dont have locks whenever you move your monitor you need to readjust it, but how often do you move your monitor?

Got this monitor for the PS4 pro. I have always played on my tv, but I decided to get a pc and wanted to play my PS4 at my desk. It’s completely different playing on this monitor then my tv. The response time between the monitor and the PS4 controller is almost instant and it improves your playing so much vs playing on a tv! Although this monitor isn’t HDR compatible for the PS4 pro/ps5, the picture still looks crisp and clear! Nice and bright and has many settings to adjust it to your liking. The speakers are not great, but I would never use so it’s not an issue. 10/10 and would definitely recommend!!

I bought this monitor to finally have a 144hz screen and g-sync for my 1070 SC video card. Its on an adjustable triple monitor stand in the middle of two BenQ 1ms 60hz monitors, the Acer being my primary and for games/movies. My only complaint is the same one most other owners have...out of the box the color/brightness/contrast settings are trash. I scoured google and reddit for an hour, trying different suggestions, until I got it right. With the recommend configs floating around the web, one size does not fit all, so you will probably have to tinker with the monitor settings for a bit to get it to work. Make sure youre on the latest video card drivers otherwise, like in my case, g-sync wont be an option in nvidia control panel. You also dont want the monitor setting OD or overdrive cranked up all the way, everyone says to leave it on normal.
