> 3 dayFirst of all, I want to admit that I always hated Acer, because their product quality wasnt good ( i.e Notebooks, from personal experience) so it was always my last resort to buy their product. Global pandemic and ruined economy forced me to lower my standards and buy this product. I wanted this monitor for pure gaming experience. I switched from 4K TV and 1080p monitor would be too much downgrade for me, so i thats why i chose this monitor. First impression of this monitor was really bad. Colors were washed out and white colors looked very yellowish. i tried tweaking some color options but it was still terrible. I wanted to send it back, BUT i found a solution. If anyone is having similar experience, this is what i did (Only for Nvidia graphics cards): right click on desktop and go to Nvidia control panel > Change Resolution > Option 3. Use Nvidia Color settings. (tick this) > Set output Dynamic range to full. Now switch to Adjust video color settings > Option 2. With the Nvidia Settings > Advanced > Dynamic range (Full 0-255). Apply And done. After this, it looks like pure IPS monitor and not like TN one. Colors look really good with this options turned on, feels like a different monitor. (I dont know if AMD owners can do this as well...) For gaming this monitor is good as well, i didnt have any major issues yet. it has little bit of ghosting around 85 FPS, so 144fps players might see more of it. Nothing too major in my opinion but everyone has their preference. Shadow boost feature is meh, but some might like it. Built-in speaker quality is not good also, sound is too low even at max. Lastly, power on button has terrible placement. Turning on this monitor without touching your screen is a challenge. Would i suggest this monitor to a friend who is on Budget? Yes. Would i buy this monitor if i had extra 100$ to spend? No. Its been 1 month without any issues, i will keep my review updated if anything goes bad before the warranty. 3.5/5 stars

> 3 dayG-SYNC- A lot of reviews on here are conflicting I am running on a gtx 1080 ftw when I received it came with a HDMI which limits it plus the G-Sync was not showing up. I ordered a DP cable what is better for pc monitors and after the switch the option to Set up G-SYNC has shown up now in the Nvidia control panel to enable it on this monitor Monitor- Came with no dead pixels setup was really easy simple connect with a twist screw at the base of the stand. The screen first boot was dim and dark can easily go into the settings and adjust to make it perfect for my desk and room lighting so not a problem after some tweaking played a few games and seems dark like the gamma is low I currently gave the HDR on so it wont let me adjust it on the monitor but probably little more tweaking and it will be fine after but doesnt bother me much. Final- Dont have really any cons for me but I have only just got this monitor and its my first 1440p 144hz monitor so I have not experienced others to compare just thought I would clear up the G-Sync issue and give my thoughts.

> 3 dayIn all my years, i have never used an IPS Panel before. My last monitor of 8 years was a Dell ST2421L TN Panel and i was quite happy with its performance (i used it for everything included photo and video editing). The moment I plugged this Acer on and Windows booted, i was completely blown away. Compared to all my previous TN Panels, this was bright and colours were vivid. Experiencing 144Hz was not as life changing as simply the vividness and brightness of the panel. An equally superb experience was moving from 1080p to 1440p. I can game with a RTX 2060 and still get 100+ FPS in recent titles and over 144FPS in E-Sport Titles. Outside of games, having a 1440p screen is almost as good as having a dual monitor 1080p setup. My productivity increased just by having a larger screen real estate. If youre still on 1080p and / or using a TN Panel, it is definitely time to switch and for a sub $300 price you most certainly cannot go wrong. This is a must buy!!

> 3 dayTo start off, I am more than satisfied with this monitor, especially being at only $300 (or $255 at the time I purchased it on prime day). It arrived the next day and in full working order. It was easy to set up and dialing down the settings is very simple. This is my first monitor, so I am not able to really compare it to other monitors. Im too used to 4k gaming to go back to 1080p, but I wanted higher framerates as well, so I concluded that 1440p was a good balance for me. Only considering this monitor, there were no dead pixels, and there is a bit of backlight bleed, but thats to be expected with IPS panels. The 144 Hz is silky smooth, though there is a bit of ghosting, but I cant really notice unless Im testing for it. The HDR works well, but not as well as my Vizio V-series 4k HDR TV. Its still better than SDR. However, I will always choose the higher framerate over slightly better HDR. Also, enabling HDR limits framerate to 120, but thats also just barely noticeable. I havent tested for input lag, but I can assure you its very low, even with HDR on. I notice very little difference in the response time with HDR on vs off. The monitor has an ultra low latency mode that sets it to 1ms. One thing that I wish this monitor had was more image settings with HDR enabled. When I turn on HDR, I cant customize the contrast or brightness or color any further to fit my preferred settings. Again, the HDR 400 works well, but I wish it was a bit better. Another strange problem I had was enabling the HDR in some games. More specifically, Fallen Order and Shadow of War. For some reason, the HDR just looks bad for both of these games. Ive adjusted picture settings in game and on my pc as best as I can and it still looks like SDR. I know it isnt the PC or the games because both of these games looked beautiful on the 4k TV I have, but not on this monitor. That being said, other games look fantastic with HDR. Destiny 2, Metro: Exodus, and others look just as amazing as they did on the TV. I dont know why this problem is happening, but its something to consider when looking at this monitor. The HDR on this monitor is hit or miss with some games. If you arent a super competitive gamer who needs the lowest possible response time, or youre on a budget, or both, this monitor will work well for you. Despite my issues with the HDR, I still think this monitor is a great deal for 1440p gaming. Of course you could surely get a better monitor for $400-500, but this is a good balance for a lightly competitive gamer on a budget. So I give it 4 stars for overall quality, but 5 stars considering its price.

> 3 dayFirst off: In this price range, this is the best monitor that checks off the most boxes in my opinion. -Gorgeous, color accurate display that covers 95% DCI-P3 color gamut -Buttery smooth 144hz -Quite good contrast, despite being an IPS panel -FOUR USB 3.0 ports?! Insane -Gsync compatible, even with HDR despite what is said -HDR that I think looks pretty solid for the level -Great viewing angles -Minimal if any backlight bleed -Very adjustable stand & Vesa Mountable I did tons of research before choosing a monitor. I thought about getting the LG Ultragear for $80 more. However, it has worse contrast, no wider color gamut, and no USB ports. It really felt like I would be getting a lot less while paying more. Many others had similar but lesser specs, or cost way more. This is the perfect sweet spot and is a banger of a deal. That being said, Acer QC could use a bit of work. This is my third monitor. My first one ghosted like it was on Scooby-Doo and would occasionally flicker. The second one was DOA. This one has had absolutely no issues and has been fantastic. With Amazons return policy and fast shipping it was not much of a headache getting replacements. I highly recommend this monitor if you are looking for a 1440p 144hz IPS Panel with tons of features!

> 3 dayIf your looking for a affordable 2k resolution monitor look no further! This is a well made monitor with great colors and decent brightness! Its smooth frames are amazing and makes gaming and just watching content awesome. The main downside i had with this monitor was its HDR is a bit over saturated, i may need to adjust the setting to get it to a more natural looking color but as it stands now the colors look over saturated and off putting. Pros: - 2k resolution - 144 hz - good colors - decent price - monitor stand is rotation, height, and even swivel. (swivel is rare on stands so this is nice) Cons: - hdr is over saturated - system menus are a bit confusing - like many monitors designs the usb ports are useless if you have a multi monitor set up.

> 3 daySo I bought this for my Xbox series X. I did a lot of research on what quality I could get for a fair price, and this is what I came up with. Honestly I’ve never had something better than a GC so I have nothing to compare it to. I’m sure I couldn’t spent more money to get something a lot more crisp. But I think the picture looks great and does the job for what I paid for it. Honestly it could be a lot better with a gaming PC but like I said I’ll have to find that out later. I haven’t had any problems with the screen or how it functions. The brightness kind of bleeds into the corners like some people have said, but you don’t really notice unless the screen is completely black or it’s a dark environment. But honestly I figured out if I have it at the right height and angle relative to how high I am sitting, it fixes that issue for the most part. Overall if you’re looking for a better picture quality and a lot better refresh rate over a tv without giving an arm and a leg up, I would highly recommend this monitor. The only problem I had was the monitor doesn’t click into the stand for some reason so it’s just kind of hooked onto it. But I’m sure I could fix it if I actually took the time to look at it. As long as you have it on a flat surface that does rock to extreme angles then it should be alright.

> 3 dayLets start with the negatives of which there are two: 1) The display, as many other reviews have mentioned, is a _little_ dim even on full brightness. Its not a problem, for me, with my setup, but I can in certain lighting conditions see more reflection off the screen of lighting in the room(say, my keyboard backlight, or even my desk when lit from above) than the display itself. Generally only noticeable with very dark images on the display and fairly well lit things to reflect. 2) The product ships with an HDMI cable that is insufficient to drive it to rated specs. To get full 2k 144Hz you need a displayport cable. I had some artifacting issues (vertical lines that wouldnt refresh) on the in-box HDMI cable, but these were fixed by switching to a $15 displayport cable from a reputable manufacturer. The included HDMI cable doesnt seem to be particularly cheap, it is sturdy, thick, and weighty, it just seems insufficient for using the display to its full capabilities. If you are having issues out of the box, I recommend trying a displayport cable. The picture quality and color is excellent. It performs excellently in games and watching videos at high resolution and refresh rate. Great value at its price point. I would highly recommend it. Its not perfect, but it is certainly one of the best you can buy.
