Good quality low priced Monitor
Bought my son this monitor for his new Ryzen 7 PC I built. He has used for a few months now to test it. He plays a few mmo action games and they look great. I saw some reviews saying it is too bright, but to us the brightness level is great whether room lights are on or off. For the quality, features, and size of this monitor, the price is excellent.

Doesn't display in 144hz without DVI
DON'T GET THIS MONITOR UNLESS YOUR GRAPHICS CARD HAS A DVI PORT! This monitor has been more of a headache than it's been worth. It took me too long to figure out that the only way 144hz is possible is through DVI, and for some god-forsaken reason, the monitor has a VGA port but no Displayport input. I tried getting a DVI to Displayport adapter, but I'm still capped at 60hz. If I had only figured out sooner how near impossible it is to display in 144hz, I would've returned this thing much faster.

Can't display in 144hz without dvi
PLEASE DON'T GET THIS IF YOUR GRAPHICS CARD DOESN'T HAVE A DVI PORT! ADAPTERS DON'T WORK! Took me too long to realize that the monitor doesn't support 144hz through hdmi. The monitor, for some god-forsaken reason, doesn't even have a displayport input option, but has a vga input of all things in 2019. When I tried getting a dvi dual-link adapter to displayport hoping that would fix everything, I was still locked at 60hz. If only I was able to have gotten this situation figured out sooner, I would've returned it in a heartbeat.

Frustrated
Upon delivery everything looked great, no problems. Plug Everything in and my buddy notices a dead pixel in the center left of the screen. Its not that big of a deal, but for as much as I paid for it I should expect no problems. Im also hoping that this dead pixel is the only one Im going to see, I hope more dont pop up.

Too Bright, Hurt Eyes
Screen is too bright. No matter what kind of adjustment you make, it is still unbearable. The excess brightness hurts the eyes. Especially whenever you view anything with bright colors. Would not recommend this particular monitor.

The worst luck on used monitor
I dontt know if they test their used monitor before they resell, because I got the used monitor. Turns out the monitor was defective. I could only turn on and off the monitor. I plugged the monitor to 3 different PC with 2 different displayport and HDMI cable and nothing was display on the screen. Found out that there suppose to be a logo on the screen when the monitor is turned on. STAY away from Used monitor.

Great Monitor!
Was looking for a high performance monitor with a good refresh rate and clarity. This monitor delivers on every aspect for a great price! At first the images were stretched but was able to sort out the aspect ratio. Excellent for gaming and watching movies. Highly recommend!

Recommended Monitor
I was buying the parts for my computer when my Television died on me. Since I was going to need a monitor anyways, I figured I would see about getting it sooner rather than later. I had seen a review on this monitor and decided to pick it up based on size and price alone. Currently I have it hooked up to my game consoles until I get my computer completely built.

Watch out for this junk!!
Worst monitor I've ever owned. No display port. Needs a dvi cable to even run it at 144hz and the picture quality is junk. Mine went out in less than a year and Acer would not honor there 3 year warranty after I sent it in for repairs and sent it back and said either fix it yourself of buy a new one, from us of course, as if. Spend the extra $50 and buy an Asus or BenQ monitor.

Dandy Monitors
I bought two of these monitors to set up a dual-monitor situation and they have been just dandy. My requirements aren't particularly exacting but they have certainly met them in all respects and are superior to the single Dell monitor of that size that I had previously.

Great and affordable 144hz monitor
The monitor works great. No dead pixels and no frame skipping. I use the monitor to play shooters, and I use it as a second monitor.

Great Bang for Buck monitor
Highly recommend this simply for the price, probably the cheapest you can get for the specs. 144hz, 1ms response time, definitely buy this.

Greatest Budget 144Hz Monitor,DVI-cable=144Hz(HDMI,vga=60Hz)
Received mine with no problem what so ever(dead pixel or damage part) include required cables, will be elaborating later. Great picture quality. Great intro into 144Hz monitor, all games that screen tear are gone. Frame rate on some game did dip but it's expected upgrading from an old standard 1280x1024. One negative thing is I would like to have been informed with documentation or in the quick setup manual that 144Hz refresh rate work only with DVI-Dual link cable-bonus points for them is Acer supply you one in the box.

Smooth
The monitor it self seems solid. I looks clean, has minimal light bleed. No visible dead pixels. My only gripe is the lack of display port input.

Pleasantly Surprised
I was apprehensive about this purchase. Unsure that an incredible deal for a 144hz monitor could live up to my expectations. As the title says...I am surprised. I came from gaming on a 4k HDR 55 Samsung TV. Picture was beautiful, vibrant and blacks were inky. With that said, going to this could be consider a down grade in most comparisons. I'm not missing 4k... After lowering brightness to 40 and adjusting vibrancy to 60 in nvidia panel, the imag... Show More

Worth the money.
Got this screen quickly with no dead pixels or light bleed. Going from 60hz to 144hz is crazy. Very smooth game play. It is a very good monitor but the color isn't as bright as my tv but if I adjust some of the settings I'm sure it would be fine. I would buy this again.

Amazona Quality
I currently have a dual monitor setup right now because of this monitor. My old monitor was really degrading but this new one really opened my eyes as a photographer to color grading and contrast.

Awesome
So far so good with this monitor. My only Problem is the fact that it comes with a VGA but not a HDMI 2.0. Other than that this monitor is great. 144hz is awesome and you can really tell the difference.

Arrived with a dead pixel
My son wanted this for the faster refresh rate that his gaming rig needs. It works just fine however we found the dead pixel the first day. Quality control for the manufacturer should have caught this before the item left the factory. The B&H aspect of the purchase went fine. They made it easy to find, the price was right and they shipped it promptly. This dead pixel though. I recommend B&H I do not recommend this monitor.
