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

This performs far better than I thought it would at this price. Perfect size for me, slight curve adds depth to high graphic video games. Has no problem running No Mans Sky on Ultra graphics mode. No slowness or refresh rate slowing. The only way you are getting a better performing monitor than this is by increasing the price 5-10 times.

The visuals are amazing

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.

good product

good

The 4ms response time may seem very reliable, but if youre running games at 100+ fps (ESPECIALLY FPS GAMES), you may struggle landing your shots and you will definitely notice that it wasnt necessarily your fault. Compared to my 1ms monitor, I just cant believe I used this for such a long time. The screen does not handle reflections well. In fact, it handles it very poorly. If my phone screen lights up on my desk, the picture quality is impacted. God forbid I have any lights on in my room. The curve is a harmful gimmick. Puts another obstacle in trying to accurately judge shots. There is a strange blur effect when you move a camera quickly or the screen displays any sort of motion. Its particularly noticeable with vibrant colors. Its a sort of bleeding effect. Makes it more difficult to hit shots. If you use Windows, the task bar will leave permanent impressions on the screen. Extremely noticeable while the screen goes black. Dark rooms or loading screens will always remind you that your monitor leaves much to desire. Decent monitor for casual gaming. For anything more than that, you absolutely must get a better monitor. ESPECIALLY if youre trying to match your framerate with the 144hz refresh rate. I would not recommend this monitor to any of my friends.

I bought this monitor because my last one broke out of no where. I was anticipating the same problem to occur again with this monitor but its exceeded my expectations. It has a very nice display to games on. Although the edges are a little bit thicker than my previous one I still find it easy to ignore it. No dead pixels as ive seen others complain about that. Overall a really good gaming monitor for the price

The monitor was overall a really good buy before the problem occurred. It handles games well and has good contrast. But after some time of use I have noticed that Alt Tabbing will make the screen blurry and pixelated. It is still usable if you just think of it as a really bad quality AA. But it occurs every single day while having a full screen application opened and Alt Tab to switch to other windows. It brings me a lot of problems because I was in the middle of something and the screen goes blurry and I have to restart the computer to get the normal screen back. Also the monitor is really hot after a few hours of use even with very low brightness. I would not recommend this monitor to those who likes to game a lot. Until they resolve the issue, spending a bit more and get a better monitor is probably a better option.

I had two Acer monitors of this same type prior (from a couple years ago). They were awesome. Plug them into my laptop... viola! I can use them. Sadly, one got knocked over and destroyed by my cat. I was happy to find this seemingly same monitor. I am so, so, so disappointed and frustrated. The monitor either does not sync with my laptop at all, displaying no signal, or it cycles through every possible syncing option causing all of my screens (the other monitor and my laptop) to flash incessantly without ever connecting. I typically waste 5-15 minutes each day as I try to get myself set up. It used to take 5 seconds. If I dare leave my desk long enough for my laptop to go into sleep mode, its another 5-15 minutes of restarts, trying to play with settings, trying to push the buttons on the monitor, etc. I actually do not know what works. It seems completely random. I bought this months ago and was too busy to deal with these issues at the time and traveling a lot, so I simply worked from my laptop alone (without the additional monitors). Now that I am back and have a more stable schedule, I would LOVE to benefit from having three screens, but there are days that I just give up and work with two or my laptop alone. What a disappointment!

Very good monitor. Colors are excellent. Viewing angles do not skew colors. Stand is nice, and adjusts vertical tilt. The button is on the right rear, which can be a hassle to access, and turning the monitor off requires a 5 second depress. Minor, but worth mentioning. Gaming at 144hz for $150 dollars is amazing.
