> 3 daySo far everything is working and arrived in good shape. At first glance I will admit I wasnt sure it was curved. I have a Samsung Curve and their curve has a bit more bend to it, alright on to the actual review. NOT DOA - whew (my box had serious gouges from what looked like a sharp metal corner in several spots), no dead pixels either... Im winning at this point. Assembly was a cake walk, pulled it out and plugged right into the stand with a single screw (decent quality). Both the monitor and mount are light, the screen is easy to adjust from a forward/reverse swivel at the base. The button on the back (stick) is easy to use. Ive seen comments that its finicky but honestly my Samsung has a similar selection stick - so I didnt find any issues. This does work with G-Sync or FreeSync - just so you all know - Nvidia came out back in January of 2019 and made more of their monitors universal. Once I had the Nvidia Control Panel up and running (had to update GPU drivers before Win10 would see it) - getting performance and refresh up to 120hz was a few clicks and done. If you want 144hz you will simply have to right click on the background of your desktop - go to display - select the monitor - advanced setting - set refresh to 144hz. I have not played with color tuning just yet, Ive only had the monitor for about 3 days and this was the last item I needed before I built my PC. I plan to play with the colors later and will re-review in a few months. I havent put any games through the ringer on it due to a mobo - m.2 drive issue (thats another review) but I did do a few CPU Bench Mark tests and once the refresh rate was fixed I was wizzing around between 189 - 320 fps on high details. If you use the G-sync you lose fps in order to prevent the tearing - just be aware. I will give a 5th star if it rates one or take one later if something happens - 4 stars is just the highest I will give at this point. If youre trying to decide on size or this one, I can say I was there. 24 is plenty for me. Leaves me with room to expand if I want to, plenty of mount/keyboard room and tower on desk. Great bang for the buck Cons - Ill let you know.

> 3 dayI got this for my son for his birthday. He really likes it compared to his old monitor and the curve of the screen is just right. No dead pixels and the box arrived in good shape. Its been set up for a few days now. He says he can tell a big difference between this one and the old monitor which had a slower refresh rate. Ill revise my review if anything goes wrong but so far everything is great and he (and I ) are very happy with it!

> 3 dayIm pleased with this product. I use it mainly for work. I have used it to watch online moves and havent had any issues lag or frame rates. I would have preferred it in Black, but White was all that was available at the time I ordered it. But that doesnt affect its performance, just a preference.

> 3 dayI’ve been upgrading my gaming setup recently from buying a new chair l, a new controller and a monitor. I play on Xbox and to my surprise apparently this monitor supports 4k at 60 fps despite no mention of it in the description despite whether this is a mistake or not I was surprised about how amazing this monitor is at the price. The high refresh rate and 1 ms response time is amazing for games like r6 and apex which I play. I would highly recommend this monitor for anyone looking to step up their gaming setup!

> 3 dayThis monitor is just not worth buying. Only expect to get 75hz if you turn the resolution all the way down to 800x600 instead of the 2560x1440 you probably want it for. Without turning the graphics down, youre only getting just shy of 60fps. Picture quality is rough as images have rough pixel-y edges. Video quality is poor, even mouse movement looks choppy and feels laggy (even when set to overdrive and adaptive sync). Overall poor monitor, wouldnt recommend. Very bad advertising of monitors capabilities and performance.

Greater than one weekThis was the first gaming monitor ive purchased and I couldnt expect more for the price. I did find that the stand was a bit shorter than Id like with my setup, but I elevated it with a couple boards and its perfect now. The monitor is a 5-star, but the stand included is too short and needs supplementing. Makes a great primary monitor.

> 3 dayTLDR this was a great value. On a monitor this size I feel as though the curve is more of a gimmick than an added feature but I have to admit that it does add an aesthetic quality that may be just what you need for your next build. The picture quality, resolution, and refresh rate are as advertised but Acer isnt known for its defective products.

> 3 dayThere 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.
