Customer Ratings & Reviews

The monitor seems great for its price. It was easy to set up, but the provided stand is a bit wobbly. Sometimes typing with a mechanical keyboard causes the screen to shake. My biggest gripe: the illumination at the right and left edges of the screen becomes dimmer when you are not lined up with it. This makes the screen uncomfortable to use for Word documents or spreadsheets with a white background, but it is less of an issue for graphics or dark themes. It gets better if you sit further back, but that's not how you are supposed to use a monitor (otherwise I would buy a TV to sit far away). A curved monitor might have been a better choice for this reason. The specifications claim a 178 degree horizontal viewing angle. That may be true when you are sitting off to either side of the screen, but sitting centered on the screen causes the non-uniform lighting at the edges of the screen. It becomes more irritating when the room is darker. I attached three photos of the screen trying to show how it looks with your head in front of the left, center, and right edges of the screen. The resolution upgrade from my old FHD (1920 x 1080) screen is nice, but the variation in brightness makes the panel feel inferior. I don't use it for gaming or HDR mode, so I have no feedback on those capabilities.

Bought this Acer Nitro monitor with my PC and have been using it for a short time. Performance-wise it’s good, especially for gaming. Games run smooth and the higher resolution does look sharper compared to 1080p. That said, I was expecting the image to look more crisp, especially the blacks. Dark scenes don’t look fully black and there’s kind of a light or gray look to them, especially in low-light scenes. Brightness also feels a bit high even after adjusting settings. It’s not bad, just not what I expected from a 1440p monitor in terms of picture quality. For fast gaming it’s fine, but if you care a lot about deep blacks and contrast, this might not be the best option.
