Acer Nitro ED240Q Sbiip 23.6 Full HD 1920 x 1080 VA 1500R Curved Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | 165Hz Refresh Rate | 1ms (VRB) | ZeroFrame Design | 1 x Display Port 1.4 & 2 x HDMI 2.0 Ports

great gaming performance no noticeable ghosting. But colors are not great, so not that good for watching movies on. other than that its great good price, like that its curved small difference but noticeable

At $189 this monitor is worth every penny. Perfect in all aspects for gaming whether thats color, Hertz, input lag, response time. If you feel the necessity to purchase a more expensive monitor solely to make you play better you better buy a gold encrusted gaming chair because this monitor is awesome.

A bit dark, but good for gaming

For the price this is a solid monitor. I am just using it for my PS4 till I switch to desktop and it has been good so far. The only thing I have to say negative about it. Is that is does seem a little washed out on the color. But after messing with the settings a bit. I found something I liked with it. Otherwise, decent monitor for the price.

Pros- Great monitor with a fast refresh rate that has minimal ghosting on regular settings*(Later) Very strong metal stand Super accurate colors compared to my old TN panel The curve feels amazing on the eyes after a small adjustment. I cannot go back to a flat monitor. Has the ability to be SUPER bright. I personally keep mine at only 20%, but holy moly it can get bright Free Sync is absolutely beautiful, i love it so much. Very easy to assemble out of box, and comes with a displayport cable! CONS- EXTREME Ghosting on all settings above (off) in overdrive in the panel settings Sometimes a little too bright in my opinion. Even on minimum, it is pretty bright for nighttime. OTHERS(Not really monitors fault) No vesa mount. I didnt buy it expecting one, but itd be nice considering the competitor has one. I have to run it at 120hz. To explain, When you have a 60hz secondary monitor, you need to have both displays at a multiple of 60hz otherwise there is stuttering on the faster one. When this monitor is at 144hz and a video of any kind runs on my secondary, there is extreme stuttering. Fixed by custom setting this one to 120hz though, works beautifully.

There was a lot of optimizing I had to go through to get the picture quality looking good, and still currently having issues with the Freesync screen flickering. But i snagged this monitor for 150 bucks and I couldnt be happier with it. It definitely made me realize you shouldnt cheap out on monitors though, the screen flickering is pretty irritating.

Using both the work PC and the personal pc together by simply switching between hdmi and vga

I am using this in my recording studio for the computer-based elements of the studio. Works great with this nice bright display, putting to shame the older 26 display next to it. The only thing I dont like is the display stand, which has a curved highly-polished aluminum look to it. This is distracting. To fix that, I used a long piece of black electrical tape that happens to fit the front of the stand perfectly and looks like it is now part of the design, which is to say, that stand now disappears from sight.

Im a software architect and my needs for ergonomic equipment, great displays, and capable PCs (MacBookPro) are significant. I had an Asus IPS 1440p previously which was a great monitor. But I stopped into a Staples store and saw a curved monitor (1500R) and was hooked. I cant describe the transformation that you undergo in how you interact with the display. Yes, the experience is more immersive. I was looking at 1000R or 1500R and felt that 1500R, like this monitor, was a good balance for non-gaming situations. It took about 3-4 days to get used to. And interestingly it felt better to use for personal browsing before I grokked the benefits for technical work. Yes, a VA (vertically aligned) panel is just slightly not as vibrant or oomph factor as IPS. But you can adjust the monitor very nicely and get very close to IPS. This monitor is a great value and there is not much to be concerned about. Id say the only thing that may through you is the base legs. All curved monitors have legs that come out and forward to balance monitor so it does not fall forward. So this may bring some rearrangements for you on your desktop. You will need an area of 16 wide, 9 deep, and 4-6 height to bring the monitor up to a very usable eye level, assuming a standard desk height. I got mine at $159.99 in early June 2023 and it has reenergized my work and productivity. Recommended.

Turn the gamma up to 65% and the color will look better and more vibrant and less washed out
