Adequate, with reservations.
I bought this ACER unit after my old monitor died while I was trying to order a better one. This isn't the better one. On the positive, it was cheap - very cheap. It is easy to un-box and snap together, and put into service. Did I mention it was cheap? On the negatives, the KA242Y G0bi claims to have an adjustable stand. It isn't. It claims a native refresh rate of 120 Hrtz, but that isn't true either. I learned that little bit of information when I plugged it in and it returned a 60 Hrtz native refresh rate. Yes, I was able to set it up to 120, but now things are... how should I put this... just a tiny little bit fuzzy and glowy - most noticeably at the bottom of the screen. It also claims to support HDR, however, the Nvidia software I use claim that none was detected, and it would be EXTREMELY UNLIKELY on a monitor at this price point. Another negative is that it almost certainly uses last generation IPS technology, something that's surpassed previous limitations in the last few years. One last bit of annoyance occurred when the monitor unit disabled my default sound. Yes, that's right; this monitor, which has NO sound outputs over-rode my sound settings. I had to go looking through the list of devices and disable it. The rest of the claims made by the manufacturer should be greeted with skepticism. I bought this monitor because it was cheap, had tolerable capabilities, and could fulfil the role until something better could be purchased. It will do that, but just barely. In this particular case, the product works just adequately at an appropriate price point. I got exactly what I paid for. I wouldn't recommend it unless you understand EXACTLY what you are getting - no Bambi eyes, please.
