> 3 dayPros: - High resolution with HDR support - Colors are nice - 2 DisplayPort inputs - 3 year warranty Cons: - Floppy stand. If your desk moves at all the monitor will wiggle a lot. - Doesnt do that great in the UFO ghosting test - TERRIBLE auto-source functionality. Literally the worst Ive seen on any monitor. Its so slow it freaks out one of my devices. Turn off the auto-source and switch it manually (push down on the control switch to bring up the controls). - HDR support is there but not that great. - Max Brightness is VERY bright and turning on HDR forces max brightness - Speakers are there - cant control volume via your OS over DP but can over HDMI. The monitor does have a volume control, though. I wouldnt recommend them for anything but voice calls though. This is a huge upgrade from a 1080p 60hz screen. If you try a better 1440p screen youll be disappointed in this one, though.

> 3 dayBought it as a replacement for one I accidentally scratched. Great for the price, the stand is nice. The framing on the bottom of the screen is a bit cheap but thats not an issue at all. Dont forget to go in and manually change your settings from 60Hz to 165Hz. Cant complain, 10/10 factoring in the price. Easy to put together and great quality

> 3 dayWhen I first bought the monitor, and installed everything I had from connecting my iPad and Macbook Pro it was good.. It started to have somewhat of issues like green/purple screen, the limited Hz up to 60, but I’m using a macbook.. if I was to get a gaming setup, I could run it as indicated. So far no dead pixels, lightweight, and can attach to a single monitor arm but be careful on what to buy for it.

> 3 dayI’ve owned these screens for about 2 years now, and I must say - they are absolutely hands down the best purchase for my gaming setup I have ever made. I am running a fairly high end system, a 3080 and equally powerful components. Most people will say that a 3080 is too powerful for 1080p, but I say that it removes the need to upgrade in the future. That being said, here are my pro’s and con’s after several years of ownership: Pros: -Great size for a 1080p. Fits perfectly on my desk (utilizing a VESA mount) -Tiny bevel on edges, making a multiple display setup perfect -144hz speaks for itself, incredibly smooth -Lots of options for color tweaking -Low ms delay, great for FPS gaming -Subtle but great curve, not too hard on your eyes -Sturdy design, no flimsy backing or bendy screen Cons: -Freesync really only works well on games that support 144hz, anything lower and it usually causes screen tear and artifacts -The white backlight can bleed through causing some black settings to look more Grey -The provided stands offer only a little range of motion, highly suggest getting a VESA compatible mount -The menu button can sometimes be a pain and not work correctly All in all I highly recommend these displays for the price. I actually ended up breaking one during a move and loved them so much that I bought a replacement.

> 3 dayI was looking for a good screen that would arrive to Alaska unbroken (thats a bigger ask nowadays) and that was curved. I mostly bought it as a desktop screen, but so far I have been using it for watching movies and playing a couple games. Thats where I took one star off; the sound coming from the screen doesnt sound good. So Id recommend some headphones or a speaker to bypass this issue. However, the screen looks great and the stand is really nice - it has a nice, sleek look to it and is very easy to adjust and put together. Overall, for my needs, this is a fantastic product and Im happy about it.

Greater than one weekI have really enjoyed putting this setup together and have been planning this 3 monitor array since I started building my computer back in 2016. The monitor addition was the last purchase because I was using other monitors before taking a new job and moving to my home office to work. I would recommend these monitors as mid-range (not cheap, but not gaming) monitors that perform with g-sync and 144 hz. They work well for a surround capable card (in my case, dual G1 Gaming Windforce GTX 970) and run my flight sim (XPlane 11) and games like Shadow of War quite well. All monitors are running via DisplayPort from my GPU. These are curved monitors, but I dont notice the curve when sitting at my desk. Some items to consider if you are buying these monitors: ~ They are not gaming monitors. At best, I would classify these as mid-range, multi-purpose monitors. ~ The 144 hz g-sync was a seller for me, but isnt for everyone ~ The DisplayPort is also accompanied by an HDMI port, but cant run 144 hz on HDMI. ~ The Mounts for these monitors are all right, but multiple-monitors makes my desk super-cluttered, so I got a single 3-mount stand. ~ 2 of these monitors came with the same colour profile on startup, the other was magenta. It took me about a month to get it all the same. ~ Single Button Menu navigation is pretty rough. Overall, these are not deal breakers for me. I like the monitors and now enjoy a great view out of my X-Plane sim.

Greater than one weekThis was my first monitor upgrade from a monitor Ive had for about 13 years. Its a gorgeous display, love the 144hz refresh rate. Awesome monitor for the price. Pictured on the left in the photo of my setup! Plus, I have a bias towards Acer monitors since my first one that lasted me so long had no intention of breaking as far as I can tell despite daily, multi-hour use for more than a decade. Great quality monitors from Acer. I always recommenced them first over any other monitor brand. Edit 12/9/2020: I still think that overall, the monitor is very nice, but ive had issues both with the screen displaying strangely for seemingly no reason [it splits down the center and one half is offset; turning the monitor off and on again resolves this issue] and I absolutely HATE that the off switch isnt just press it and the monitor turns off.. No, you have to press and hold the stupid thing for anywhere between 5 and 10 seconds, and sometimes it seems like it doesnt register my press at all. Im never sure if Im pressing it down right until Ive wasted 5-10 seconds waiting to see if its turning off. I dont know if this is just a thing with the monitor I got, but if its a design decision, it was really stupid one. It makes the half second act of turning off my displays at night take 10 times as long for no reason. Pressing it once doesnt even serve a function, so I really dont know why its like this. Furthermore, ive had some uneven lighting develop behind the panel which is very distracting on any dark scenes happening on the display. Its a fine monitor for the price, but it seems like quality assurance isnt there and some design decisions for its functions were brainless. Im marking it at 4 stars, but its more like 3.8 out of 5. Id love to know if these issues are because my unit is defective, or because the monitor was designed stupidly. Edit 6/18/2021: I finally replaced this monitor with the LG 27GL850 - a very glamorous upgrade indeed! The backlight bleed on this monitor, now that I have a better one to compare it to, was rather bad. Its surely manageable for the amount I spent on it originally - but its maybe better to save up for something a little better! I loved this monitor of course, but the backlight flickering I could never figure out how to fix was a huge drawback.
