overall nice but maybe a little bit cheap the plastics quality

two years later and still rocking, i used everyday

This monitor is good, you get what you paid for. Graphics, colors, all good. 3 year hardware warranty. 2 years in now and randomly it starts having red lines in all areas where the color should be black. Acer said to ship it in for repair, but might just snag a Dell for a bit more instead the hassle.

Purchased this monitor for gaming (mainly valorant/ other fps titles) and after about a 2 week trial period, the monitor has done its job great. Im getting 144 hz out of the HDMI cable that came with the monitor unlike past reviews have stated, but make sure not to use your own unless it supports 144hz. For uses other than gaming, the picture and color grading isnt fantastic. Slight disclaimer to that statement, I might just be really bad at color calibrating monitors but honestly it shouldnt be this bad coming straight out of the box.

The image, colors and all that looks really good, mostly if we consider that it offers you a lot of things for a low price. However, the main and only issue (so far) is the ghosting. I don’t know why but the ghosting on this monitor is more than annoying, to me at least. I don’t know if it is just mine that came defective or what, but I have tried (almost) everything. One of the few things that helped a little was setting the monitor to 60hz on windows. However, if I wanted to play at 60hz then I would have bought another monitor… probably a cheaper one.

I loved how it has a simple build process. It has pretty good picture and response time. The monitor advertisement all over the internet isn’t sure if it’s 50-70 hz or 144 hz. Truth is on PC and overclocked it will be 144hz on a console 50-70 hz. It’s still a good monitor for the price.

This monitor has been great so far for both gaming and using for my work from home office setup. The HDMI cable that came with the monitor is a little finnicky and will cause my monitor to go black if its rattled around a little too much, but I dont mind that so much because I have spare cables. Overall great product for the price!

Great for gaming on the cheap, great graphics, best deal for the money.

First things first this is a very nice little 144hz monitor. Yes, this is a 144hz monitor. People in the reviews seem to be oblivious to the fact that you need a DP cable to reach 144hz. A HDMI will only get you to 60hz. On top of this, PS4 and Xbox One only play at 60hz. If youre buying this for console gaming, dont bother. The amount of questions/reviews I saw asking about these issues was absurd, so hopefully I helped clear that up for anyone confused. Now to get into the pros/cons... Pros: - The price. I bought this for $169 ($192 after tax), which seems like a fair price. - The speakers are actually surprisingly good. I mainly use a headset, but its nice knowing that the speakers arent absolute garbage like other monitors - PC gaming looks great. 144hz is a game changer, and the screen quality and resolution is exactly what youd expect. Cons: - The bezels. After using the Scepter 165hz monitor I was shocked to see just how large the bezels are on the Acer monitor. To give an understandable comparison, if the Scepter monitor is the iPhone X, the Acer KG241Q is an iPhone 5. - The monitor stand. Holy cow this thing sucks. For one its super bulky and cumbersome. Secondly it is completely static. You cant move it side to side or adjust the height. Adding on, you can BARELY adjust the angle of the screen. The screen either stands up completely straight, or you can rotate it maybe 15 degrees tops. Super frustrating. - Overall the monitor feels very cheap. From the stand, to the input buttons, it feels like a top of the line monitor from 5 years ago. Overall this is a good monitor. Its 144hz and it works, so in that regard buy with confidence. That being said, my Sceptre E255B-1658A is so much better in so many ways and it is the exact same price as this monitor. My brother also has the Acer XFA240 ($199), and if you have an extra $20 to spend, I recommend that option instead.

Great monitor see far for gaming on a budget and the casual gamer. Annoyed though that the monitor was delivered with an hdmi cable as opposed to a Display Port cable and it wasn’t until I was informed after the fact by more avid Pc gamers that I wasn’t maximizing its potential by using an hdmi cable instead. Ordering a display port cable now separately, but feeling that a cheap, 6 dollarish cable should be included with the purchase to maximize customer experience
