Acer 21.5 Inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Ultra-Thin Zero Frame Computer Monitor (HDMI & VGA Port), SB220Q bi

This monitor is definitely a good value. Does it have superb color and contrast? No. Does it boast the best refresh rate on the market? No. But if youre tight on money, this thing looks and preforms great for the money. It has a Matte screen which does a great job at eliminating glare. The chassis its enclosed within is absolutely stunning. It features a VGA and and HDMI port. The screen automatically detects signals and turns on when a source is turned on. When the selected source turns off it quickly scans and switches to any other sources. If no connections are available it goes into standby automatically. The power chord is a good 6 or more feet and easy to wrap with half of it being very thin wire. The ON LED is not distracting or too bright. When its off it looks like a borderless monitor. And unlike what other people say it does have tilt, just not forward or left to right. It stands up straight or leans back. Unfortunately it doesnt have VESA mount holes, but under 100 you cant be that serious about your monitor setup. Small text has some problems fully rendering when using VGA so I recommend using HDMI. If you use the Windows 10 settings to configure how text is displayed though it fixes this, but not all will know how to do that. It doesnt have speaker, and I am thankful that most monitors dont. This monitor has A LOT of settings for gaming, night use, color adjustments, and general settings and all can be saved into 3 different gaming profiles. You can even change what settings appear in the quick menu. When u press any of the menu buttons, the menu pops up and clearly illustrates all the buttons. This monitors menus are super easy to understand and navigate and thats a rarity in its own. Also worth noting; it can display crosshairs and display the monitors current refresh rate. It also packs FreeSync for AMD graphics card users. If you only have DVI, you can get DVI to HDMI chords as long as your computers video out supports it. The base and monitor couple together with one screw that features a hand flap so you dont need a screw diver if you dont want to use one. It is decently sturdy and the screen doesnt distort even when pressed on with strong pressure. The base is quite large, but wont be a problem for most. I havent noticed any screen delay compared to my 300 dollar 1ms response time monitor (and Im pretty picky). Its contrast is a little flat in some scenarios but appears much more dynamic in games, especially with some tweaking. With that said, I like that it looks flat when working on documents because it makes it much easier to focus. All in all, this monitor is filled with a good balance of features and looks like a very solid 1080p 75Hz IPS screen for any monitor under $160, let alone the $80 I paid. If you dont absolutely need a better refresh rate and arent planning on spending more than 200 dollars then I would say just buy this monitor. Its durable, feature packed, and looks fantastic in all use-case scenarios. Id give it 1000 stars if I could.

I had this screen for about 5 years and its colors for its price are pretty amazing until you get into a $250 or above price range with LG HDR monitors, a few pixels went out about a year in but I had no other issues with it and used it for about 5 years until one day it died. Good monitor for the price if you dont need a big monitor above 1080p.

Great monitors. Love them. Great picture quality

Purchased it 3 years ago. Still love it since it has not given me any problem.

First things first: please treat this review as a 3.5 star, which is what I would rate it if Amazon allowed me to. My main issue with this screen is that it has to be the sorriest excuse of an IPS/AHVA/PLS panel Ive ever seen. The viewing angles are actually so bad for left/right that there is only a very small position where I can leave my head so that there is no discolouration on the sides, worse than any TN panel Ive ever seen. Also, it looks like there is a lot of excess light directly off center to your heads position, as if there is backlight bleed that shifts as you move your head left and right while staring at the screen. Since this was purchased to be my second monitor, it isnt that big of a problem to ME specifically... but it also means its impossible to keep my head in the perfect position, due to it being off-center to me. I actually had to tilt the screen somewhat sideways (instead of being flush next to my main monitor) so that the sides would mostly look normal in terms of colour. Now I WILL admit that it is possible this is a defect with my actual screen, possibly some problem with backlight bleed or something, but since this is my only sample size, I must rate it accordingly. If Acer has a problem with my statements, they should step up their quality control game and not let a monitor like this pass inspection for sale. Now, the good! For a breakdown, Ive rated this a 4/5 for gaming, 3/5 for picture quality, and 5/5 for brightness, heres my take on each: - The input lag is quite low; there is no system lag while working on it. Being above 60Hz also gives it a solid edge for gamers. Gamers generally care less about viewing angle issues like what I described, so as a gaming screen this should not be too bad. Unfortunately I still cannot ignore the viewing angle problem due to how bad it is, and I will never rate any screen below 120Hz as 5 stars for gaming, so it settles at 4. - Picture quality is actually quite good. The contrast is great and the colours very crisp - if the viewing angles and backlight shenanigans were a non-issue i would probably even rate this 5 stars (largely considering the price), but alas, 3 stars. - For brightness, its certainly bright enough for my needs, though Ive not used it in direct sunlight. The anti-glare works well and it keeps its picture quality and visibility perfectly fine even with a flashlight shone at it. I cannot ask for more, so full marks here. All in all, for $90 I cannot truly complain. It does its job of being a screen for discord, watching videos/anime, and handling my stream alerts/notifications. Its light and easy to set up, the on/standby light is not bright yet still well visible, so not distracting in a dark room. Unfortunately viewing angle issue and discolouration it produces ALONE is enough for me to say consider other options, but the rest of the screen pulls it up a bit. If this is going to be your main monitor, and you are not someone who does little but game on your computer? Stay far away. If you need a cheap, decent screen for gaming or this is going to be a low-importance second monitor? Id say its up for consideration, if only because its 75Hz at this price point.

Was thrilled with the picture quality and size, but it did not have built in sound. This was going to be used for a desktop, which I couldve added speakers to, but defeated the purpose. Otherwise a very good deal for the money.. just no sound.

This is a good monitor. The picture is good and the overall quality is great. I would buy this product again and that is the best recommendation I can give.

This is my second of these monitors that I have purchased, so even though I have not used this particular one yet, I will review my previous one. I am bookkeeper, not a gamer. This screen has served me so well as a second screen for my iMac, that I am purchasing another one so I can have 3 screens. Sidenote, I have even packed this screen up and taken it on the road, the screen got scratched (of course) but otherwise, I had no issues dragging it around with me in a laundry basket in my rough riding pickup. Lets get to where this product lost a star.... it doesnt come with an hdmi cable. It has the old pin style connector in the package. If it was the only screen I was connecting, this would be fine, but if youre buying this as a second or third screen, order an hdmi cable (or whatever you prefer). I feel like hdmi mostly replaced the old pin style a long time ago, and it would not have cost acer much to put both cables in the box, hence... 1 star lost. Overall, a plenty good screen.

This was a great buy I only return due to my company offer to purchase one for me
