Overall a good monitor and runs well out of the box. Just wish it had built in speakers.

I bought this monitor with my new gaming set up since it was pretty highly rated on amazon for its price. I got everything set up and it looked fine. It worked well for about a month or two before I started getting TV static. This was something I have never seen before in my life. I thought at first it was something with my HDMI cable, so I tried a different one. The problem subsided for a while and then again, I started getting TV static. Then I thought it was my GPU, I recently purchased a 2060 so I assumed that it was simply defective, I returned the GPU and got an identical one. Again, the problem subsided for a while before kicking up again. There were days where it didnt happen at all, and days where it happened almost any time the computer would go into hibernation/sleep. There was a point where even lightly moving my desk caused the static to come on. The only way to get the static off was to unplug the HDMI cable from the GPU, and plug it back in. I ended up calling amazon and attempted to return the monitor. They offered to get Acer to repair it for me, which I accepted. They got an Acer representative on the line, where he asked me about my problem. He told me that there was clearly something wrong with the monitor and then asked me for my address, He confirmed 3 times (the other two times he some how managed to get it wrong). I wait 3 days for them to send me the shipping label, and of course, the return address was wrong. I call Acer again and ask to speak to a manager, assuming that I would get further with someone who would be capable of understanding English. I wait 20-30 minutes for this damn manager to get on the line only for him to hang up on me after asking for my case number. I had to wait another day to get a call back. Finally, I was connected with someone competent at Acer, who managed to get the right address this time. I finally sent the package out and waited for a response. Fast-forward to today, the package arrived with a slip of paper. according to their diagnosis, they couldnt find anything wrong with the monitor after a stress test of over 96 hours, they also apparently tested all inputs and display boards with no flickering or static. To add insult to injury they failed to send back the stand with the monitor, so now I need to wait another 7 days to be able to see myself if there still is an issue with this monitor. The amount of stress I had to deal with; the returns, the troubleshooting, the calls with customer support and the waiting just to be told that there is nothing wrong with my monitor is just beyond insane. Stay far away from this customer unless you want to have to deal with garbage support and a company that could give less of a damn about you.

I have it four stars because their is some light leakage on dark screens. This is not a problem once the desktop loads. All games and open folders make the light leakage moot. Its only when you boot the computer on that the light leakage is noticeable. Updated July 17, 2022.

The picture quality is great and works great for my ps5 to run my system to 120 hz. However it’s a pain in the butt to have audio. I had to get a usb aux adapter to plug into my ps5 to have sound and remove it and plug it in with whatever other devices I want to use. This could be easily solved with a aux or usb outlet in the monitor

let me get the bad first, the speakers doesnt even work and most people said they were bad anyways but for gaming you use headsets anyways. gaming wise this monitor is amazing and perfect. Ive been using this for less then half a year and its amazing it gives the the extra frams some gamers need. also i like to say a 1060 6GB cant give me 144 frames on most of the new games, so you need so make sure you have a good graphics card or you will have to play on lower graphics. also make sure you buy a better display cable the using the one they give i just dont trust cheap display cables.

Not a bad monitor but I use it on my laptop and I just get the blue screen over and over like it makes my computer crash when its plugged in. This happens several times throughout the day. The picture quality is excellent.

My husband plays online games and he loves this monitor. He had to adjust the settings and now says it’s a great monitor for his gaming. The only down side is that my computer tower can’t plug into it as well so it’s strictly for his PlayStation and I have to make room in our office for a second monitor for my computer.

I purchased this 144 Hz monitor in July 2019 but didnt really start using it until March 2020 when so many of us began working from home due to COVID-19. Over the past 5-6 months, this monitor has seen very heavy use averaging 12-16 hrs per day, with absolutely no problems. Color and contrast are great, with no flickering or any other issues. Netflix looks good. Its worth noting that the output is much sharper when connected to the Display Port at 144Hz (143 Hz as shown in my Dell Latitude 7300s display settings). This drops down to 60 Hz when I switch to my 2nd laptop hooked up to HDMI. So to really maximize display quality, you should really need to connect using a DP cable. However, Ive used it extensively via HDMI at 60Hz, and it still looks really good. Overall, Im very happy with this purchase. Really great performance for the price that will last me for many years. Am also considering purchasing a 2nd so I can have a dual monitor setup.

The monitor itself is overall great. I have three of these monitors. I had two, and just received this one as my third monitor. HOWEVER, the joystick was completely messed up. When I tried to move it to adjust my settings, it went inside my monitor. The buttons above the joystick had to be pressed SO hard to even work. I’ve never had this issue before. Just be careful. They may have changed something they were doing, or using cheaper material. Maybe my product was faulty.

After only about a year of use Im already seeing dead pixels other than that a great monitor for xbox series x
