Acer Nitro KG241Y Sbiip 23.8” Full HD (1920 x 1080) VA Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium Technology | 165Hz Refresh Rate | 1ms (VRB) | ZeroFrame Design | 1 x Display Port 1.2 & 2 x HDMI 2.0

It’s a good budget monitor for the price I got it for 120 + tax but I do notice a lot of ghosting even with overdrive on

I wrote 2 reviews already that got eaten by the Vapor Monster and didnt post, so Ill keep this shorter. I love this monitor and am frankly quite stunned. I suffer from severe occipital migraines and lots of eye issues which has forced me to barely be online anymore. I have gone through 4 monitors in the last 7 years, and even bought a $ special monitor recommended by the Epilepsy foundation which has a built in Blue Screen filter. AND I use an app that is a blue screen filter. AND I wear yellow industrial sunglasses. Result? I have no idea what colors Im looking at, I look silly, and all I did was fiddle with controls. None of this helped. I was about to give up when I thought well, Ill buy a new monitor, and see how it goes. This monitor was a great price and I have been very happy with past Acer products so I bought it. I sat with my mouth open for about 40 minutes while hooking this monitor up. It is beautiful. Crisp, clear and best of all, the controls to change brightness/contrast/and everything else are SO easy and intuitive. Best yet, this monitor has a FAST refresh rate (I have mine on a refresh rate of 120) which is vital to easing eyestrain and headaches. (Most monitors stick you at 60 which is *the* exact refresh rate that induces epileptic episodes and other brain/neurological issues - even feeling icky or having your heart speed up as you watch movies or play games.) There are tons of gaming options, color options, calibrating. Im sure other reviewers have gone into all this, so I wont. I do a lot of graphic work on photos and love looking at other peoples artwork and photos - this monitor has me seeing details of things I swear werent even there. I have been able to do much more and I can read text so much better. I alos like that I can change the resolution of the screen since moving my eyes a lot causes issues so I dont need this big a screen but in the past when Id try to change it the pages wouldnt show well. The text would get smashed, shrink down to ant-size or I just couldnt do it. I havent had any problem even putting it on 800x600 though I do have it bigger. I also like that the black frame around the screen is a bit wider than most so is perfect for Post-It notes, reminders and Hello Kitty stickers (no computer is compete without some.) This is just terrific, I highly recommend.

After you tweak this, it shows a nice picture. It’s not going to blow away more expensive monitors but it gets the job done.

It is not obvious from the description write-up or review, there are no audio outputs with the monitor even though windows detects an intel display audio. minimal tilt adjustments and no height adjustments. Pretty basic but fine for standard use.

As a previous owner Acer Nitro VG271 Pbmiipx 27 inch, this model is almost the exact same but even better~! I really love the IPS Display and the improvement of having incremental increase of 144 to 165 Hertz! It really well made and suited for 1080p as most of us would stuck on rather than using a 1440p, but it does get the job done and there is really nothing bad to say about this. I absolutely love this!

I have been using it for 2 weeks and one pixel got stuck near the middle of the screen. That pixel is always purple, never changes its color and its very annoying. I hope the other pixels dont get stuck in the nearby future...

I wanted to like this monitor so bad. For the refresh rate, response time, and G sync, this is seriously an amazing price. Testing it on display port, I found zero tearing, buttery smooth display, perfect g sync compatability, and every customization I could ever use. This being said, it would be amazing for budget competitive gaming. However, my issue lies in the color. No matter what I did, how fine a tuned, and what color profile I used, everything was wash out and dull. What color was what was perfectly clear, and the black to white range was fine. But nothing could get rid of that overly white faded look. If I were using this just to work, or play fast paced games without much color range, this would have been a keeper. However, color vibrancy is important to me when I play, so I had to switch it for something else.

Very nice monitor for the price. Everything it great it has great picture. Only con for me is the viewing angles are a little bad but not horrible. From the way I have to set it up I can see a little green in the white writing on the top right. Other then that it’s amazing for the price and I would definitely recommend it.

The monitor has a default dark setting. If you go into the menu theres 6 different picture mode types. 3 of them are way brighter than default, makes it feel like a whole different monitor. I have 2 of them, trust me Its worth it.

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.
