Very fast refresh rate and 1440p are a must
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5The pros: 1440p 144hz refresh 1ms response Freesync/Gsync compatible The cons: TN panel (although this doesn't make much difference when your going for all out performance imo) No vesa mount (I fixed this with a custom mount courtesy of YouTube) Not color neutral (burnt orange panel on bottom of screen and mount) Buttons on bottom right of the monitor to control function are no intuitive at all. Could have used any kind of usb ports on the back. Good panel but iOS are catching up in response time.

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I love this monitor, I will say the first one I got had a loose panel for whatever reason but Acer told me to send it in. Since I saw it the day of purchase I declined and returned for another. Next one perfect, I get best of both worlds fps and resolution wise. Be careful though, it will possibly make you wanna invest in better cpu parts lol. Also if you watch old videos the menu is blue. The newer ones have a black menu and have features like an aim pointer like Asus. I dunno why they don't mention that at all.

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Just plugged this baby in last night. I like that it has a DVI port so I can still run my old HP desktop. Bought this one for my new PC. Wanted a larger screen and a higher Def. This one has 2560 x 1440 resolution. I like the sleek edge to edge design. I'm actually not a gamer, but this one had all the options I needed so It's a winner in my book. The stand does tilt but is not height adjustable.

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Only had this for 1 month, but so far all I can say is wow what a difference. I went from 1080p at 60 Hz to 1440 at 144Hz and image quality is unbelievable. I mainly play World of Warcraft and it was like a whole new visual experience. So far no dead/bad pixels.

Q: QuestionI just received this monitor in the mail on the box it only says AMD Free sync.On Best buy it also said Its G-sync I just want to make sure this is accurate because it is a gift for my son that I will not be opening till its Christmas. Thank you,Jeff
Asked by Jeff.
- A:Answer Yes it is g-sync compatible as well. I was thrown off by the box as well but I was able to go into the nvidia control panel and enable g-sync. I’m thinking it’s one of the monitors that became g-sync compatible after it was released.

Q: QuestionHow do I get the ps4 to allow 4k with this monitor?
Asked by Mikey.

Answered by Toms
Q: QuestionWhy does this say it has a refresh rate from 75-144hz? I mean isn't it best to assume that people would want a higher refresh rate? Why have this range? Does it serve some sort of purpose for choosing the lower refresh rate? Just curious...
Asked by Jules.
- A:Answer This would be the range for Gsync/freesync. It matches your refresh rate with your fps, this is to eliminate screen tearing. As I understand it you can turn this off and have a set 144hz

Q: QuestionCan this monitor be mounted to a desk mount?
Asked by Didymusfox.
