  • (Also, for those wondering it goes up to 75 Hz maximum)I've been using it for a couple of day and the monitor is not heavy on eye strain at all, and is a pretty decent size
  • I also do a lot of digital art and design work for school and this monitor's the perfect size for what I'm doing.
  • Great monitor and perfect size for my dual screen setup.
  • I like that it has VESA mount, good size and looks very nice on a dual monitor arm

Reviews around look (5.00 of 5)

  • The frameless LOOK of the Acer is fantastic - but once the power in on the illusion is shattered
  • It has a clean look, picture is good and easy to use menu to change settings
  • If you are looking for a larger-sized color monitor, I would recommend this one.
  • Of the three I have, all recent models, Asus, Dell, and Acer, the Acer is the sharpest looking on a desk, has the thinnest bezel (though it definitely has one), and has the easiest to access buttons (subtle, but on the front).
  • The stand/legs are a sleek looking tri-foot layout that stays firmly planted on my VERY cheap desk

Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • I purchased two of these, and although they're a great value, the colors are NOT consistent
  • Overall, very happy with this monitor and a great value for the price.
  • Great value monitor, but the monitor itself is unadjustable and tilts downward a bit but overall good quality.
  • I really like this monitor it fits my setup nicely and really good value for the price
  • I have this monitor hooked up to HDMI to my laptop and its definetly not as clear as id expect it to be

Reviews around design (5.00 of 5)

  • It is well worth the cost, The design is clean, the features are great, and it is easy to set up and use
  • 75hz isn't that much more, but is very noticeable and has a sleek design, provided by ACER, who make the best monitors on the market in my opinion
  • With amazing color (after re-calibration), 1080p @75hz, and sleek body-design, and cheap price, this monitor is easily comparable to my primary monitor which cost me $200
  • Pros:+ Capable of being an amazing display.+ 75hz is great for people that don't have high-end rigs that can reach 144+ fps.+ Sleek design, minimally-sized bezel.+ Quick and easy swapping between HDMI 1, HDMI 2, and VGA channels.+ Great
  • The design is sleek and sexy, and they are very strong and sturdy

Reviews around response time (5.00 of 5)

  • It's big, it gives great frames (100 for me on Ultra for most of my games), and the response time is great
  • 1ms response time is fast, and although the freesync refresh rate is only 75hz the Xbox is capped at 60hz so there is never any stutter
  • an absolutely fantastic gaming monitor!The response time, colors and refresh rate are well
  • Great monitor, 1ms response time with blue light shield at that price cannot be beat!!
  • It has 75hz refresh rate and fast response time , but dont expected good quality speakers.

Reviews around sync (5.00 of 5)

  • Once gpu prices go down I will build a nice amd build to take advantage of the free sync
  • I got what I paid for which is a 100-120 dollar monitor that can run 75hz with free-sync and my only downside is since the screen is so big it's actually harder to define some of the colors for lower quality images but watch on
  • Free-sync onlyOverall, a great monitor especially for the price that allows for faster refresh rate gaming with good contrast that won't break your budget.
  • No dead, stuck or floating pixelsGreat color accuracy for the price pointSolid price point for response time and 75HzDecent connection optionsAlmost no bezel on the tops and sidessupports AMD free sync if you can use itConsAlitter thicker for monitors built in power supply utilizing a standard 3 prong power cord ( kind of a pro but con because it makes this thicker than it could beViewing angles arent fantastic
  • Also I use a 1080 so I couldn't care less about that Free Sync stuff.

Reviews around display (4.32 of 5)

  • but it's nowhere near as bad as other TN displays I have looked at
  • This is a TN (twisted-nematic) display, so it is not going to be as sharp in day-to-day use as an IPS monitor
  • Also, if you plan on using this monitor for photo editing or creation using tools like Photoshop, I would recommend a comparable IPS display instead.
  • The monitor comes with fast shipping, good display, and overall quality.
  • Great display, picked it up on Prime Day for $80 and it was worth every penny.

Reviews around color (4.27 of 5)

Reviews around quality (4.14 of 5)

  • The monitor comes with fast shipping, good display, and overall quality.
  • A 1ms response time along with a maximum 75hz refresh rate combine for a deadly picture quality
  • This monitor has great picture quality thanks to the high resolution.
  • Great value monitor, but the monitor itself is unadjustable and tilts downward a bit but overall good quality.
  • The only reason this isn't a 5 star is the joke of a speaker they installed, it seriously is less powerful than my iPhone SE, and terrible sound quality.

Reviews around deal (4.13 of 5)

  • Not a deal breaker but a bit frustrating for someone who might be picky about both form and function
  • Cheap plastic no big deal
  • I have this monitor hooked up to HDMI to my laptop and its definetly not as clear as id expect it to be
  • For 120$ you cannot find a better deal, especially if your a casual gamer like me and just want to finally try a dedicated gaming monitor

Reviews around screen (3.46 of 5)

  • Awesome screen, has been good for gaming and day to day work
  • Normally I work on bright screen, but when I see a movie it's really annoying
  • Good picture quality overall but dim for an LED backlit screen
  • To be honest, i thought the screen looked a little funny.
  • The only thing that I find an issue with is when I turn the monitor to a portrait orientation is that the screen looks a little distorted because it is a TN display so the viewing angle is probably only made for a landscape orientation

Reviews around eye strain (1.54 of 5)

  • I have this monitor hooked up to HDMI to my laptop and its definetly not as clear as id expect it to be
  • I probably would have kept it despite the flicker, even though it bothered me, but the eye strain was simply too much after a few
  • I believe the eye strain actually came from reading text on the screen, and not so much from gaming
  • (Also, for those wondering it goes up to 75 Hz maximum)I've been using it for a couple of day and the monitor is not heavy on eye strain at all, and is a pretty decent size

Reviews around bite (1.44 of 5)

  • seems secure enough, but the screen does wobble a bit more than my BenQ; not a problem, but I just don't like it-the screen casing is glossing; you might want this, but I prefer matte so that I don't have light glaring at me-picture quality is acceptable; while it's a clean 1080p, it just doesn't look as vibrant as my BenQ, but I think you're just getting what you pay for
  • I was disappointed with the depth of color when I first hooked it up... the whole display looked a bit hazy on Windows 10 compared to my old Samsung display
  • The LED power indicator is really bright, so much so that it bothers me a bit
  • The only issue I had was that my pc turned of but the monitor would stay on with the blue light instead of orange all I did was unplug the monitor and plug it back in and if that doesn't work leave it unplugged a bit then try other than that it was good
  • The product was very light which scared me a bit but that isnt too bad
