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

I bought this monitor back in 2019 december so its just been about 3 years. I am still using it as I speak and its been an awesome monitor. No dead pixels or anything, the only thing that has bugged me with this monitor is a group of atleast 2 or 3 stuck pixels that will be on my screen but to fix it all I do is barely push on my monitor where the pixel is and it goes away for a while, itll come back in weeks to months later but its not a huge deal to me, still a great monitor for the price.

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

it’s really dark and honestly not that great for the price refreshrate is decent but would highly recommend a different monitor

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.

Got this for $200 bucks and was well worth it. Returned my Sceptre Freesync monitor for this and was well worth the trade. The G-Sync compatibility actually works (people need to do their research and realize that this is FreeSync monitor that has G-Sync capabilities which is certified by Nvidia themselves) Picture quality is sharp and monitor looks like a bulky monster which I love. The stand is really big, but amazing for versatility of turning the monitor wherever you want (even vertically). Only downside is the weird default color/contrast. Theyre a bit weird with this monitor and needs lots of tweaking to your liking with the OSD settings. I also wish that this was edgeless, but its whatever. NOTE: You will need a flathead to screw in one of the stand pieces, they DO NOT give you one to setup the monitor so you will need your own. EDIT - April 2021... for the past two months or so Ive been having a stuck pickle popping in out and every once in the same area every once in a while... which can get annoying.

For context, I now own two of these monitors, and these are my first. I bought the first one back in May 2019 for my PS4 and Switch (I game a lot), and the second in October after building a PC. I originally loved keeping the 1ms response time I was accustomed to on my TV for under $200 (at the time of writing it is $169.99), and was fine with the display and picture quality (though it took some time to get used to the smaller screen compared to my 60in TV). The monitor has settings to change colors and what not and also features a Game Mode that I suspect is the Acer EyeProtect’s Flicker-less, Blue Light Filter, ComfyView and Low-dimming technology mode. But the real change came in September when I built my first PC and connected it to this monitor. Playing with 144hz does make a real difference when playing, allowing you to see things come in focus much quicker than the 60hz I was used to, and the 1ms response time feels amazing for those accustomed to 3ms or more. It does get bright and may hurt when gaming for 8 hour prolonged sessions, but you can turn on Game Mode or dim the lights through settings. Plus, the fact that its adjustable is great, allowing it to adjust to a proper height or angle. My buddy, who still plays with a PS4, got one after I recommended it for his short desk setup, and adjusting it so it was facing him was a huge bonus for him. And for the price point its a welcome addition. Overall, solid monitor for under $200 and these have been great starter monitors for PC gaming for me.

Ive been actively using this monitor for almost 4 years now. Now that Im working from home, Ive gone back through specifically to find this order to base my next purchase off of. Ive never had any issues, crashes, or bugs with it. The variable height is great and is easy to transport. Big fan and have nothing but good things to say about it both recreationally and professionally.

I was reading a review and saw someone else experience the exact same issue I have. Sometimes the display will go blank and show nothing. This could happen for days and then eventually work fine again. If I looked at a second monitor when the issue occurred, I could see windows recognizing the device when its on and hiding the device when its off, so it seems like there is a signal being sent. The monitor was just not displaying it. The monitor is relatively cheap compare to other high refresh rate monitors(At the time I bought it in 2017). I had this issue occur to me multiple times and I even sent it to Acer twice to get repaired. Shipping I had to cover each time. Both times, the monitor got sent back to me saying they could not reproduce the issue and no repairs were done on it. I narrowed down the issue to the monitor. Some testing I did was use different GPUs, use a different display port and use a different cable. All the while I had a second monitor that did not have any issues at all. One solution was to use the HDMI port but that was only limited to 120Hz, not the 144Hz advertised and the reason why I chose this. I had some issues with FreeSync as well, causing the entire display(more like the backlight) to look like its flickering and it was very distracting. I wound up buying a new monitor and have not had any issues with that since. Since the warranty has expired, Im attempting to use the benefit on my Amazon Prime card of extending the warranty an extra year for certain products. I reached out to Acer to get a repair estimate, their standard fee for out of warranty repairs is $179. Youd be better off just buying the monitor again after factoring shipping.

Recieved one with dead pixels out of the box. However I am getting an exchange. From the short time I used it with the defective pixel, The performance was good. You may need to go adjust your monitor to 144hz as it may be factory set at 60hz. BEWARE nvidia purist! The monitor is not G-sync its AMD freesync. If you are in need for 144hz while on a budget this will do you just fine with no frills. The audio is comparable to a 1999 honda civic with 200,000 miles on it. But Im sure most of you keep your headsets on when you go into incognito mode anyways. Overall its a good budget monitor if you are seeking 144hz with 1080p quality. Otherwise take more shifts at work and get something that doesnt make you feel suspicious and read reviews because you want to be a cheap ass.

I got this to replace my 60hz Dell IPS panel (had brilliant colors, but slower response), and I am quite pleased since I play a lot of fast-paced games. nVidia G-Sync was very easy to setup (I highly recommend only using it in Full-Screen mode, I had some issues with windowed borderless in some games), and I get insane frame rates on my RTX 3070 with zero screen tearing. Pros: - Very fast response time - High frame rates - No screen tearing Cons: - Colors not as good as other panels, but this is to be expected since its a TN panel. This one is just barely a con because I was able to google and find good monitor settings to use.
