Customers are saying
Customers enjoy the large screen size and affordable price of the Acer 23.8" monitor. Positive feedback also highlights its ease of setup, smooth refresh rate for gaming, and clear picture quality. However, some users wish it included built-in speakers and more adjustable stand options. The lack of integrated sound is a recurring negative comment.

These are a no
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 2 of these to work from home from time to time. They both would randomly turn themselves off for a few seconds then back on. This would happen multiple times a day and for no reason. I checked settings and couldn’t find a reason for this or a setting for it. There was no sleep setting that I could find. So I would not recommend.

Not worth buying
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor looks nice and was good enough for what I needed it for (second monitor when I wfh). However, it stopped working just seven months after purchasing. I've always had good experiences with Acer products but this one is a dud.

Budget King - 100hz FHD 1080p Freesync IPS
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a budget option which is where Acer tends to place themselves with their product line this is a very good pick up. You can't even get a TV that's 1080P at this price range so the fact you can get a 24 inch full HD monitor with freesync and 100hz refresh rate is a great thing for those on a budget. That said this monitor is also flexible with old hardware and new alike with the inputs provided here. An HDMI cable comes graciously in the box as well which is always a nice touch. Honestly at this price point you expect to have 60 Hz and no sort of variable refresh rate but this comes in and knocks it out of the park with 100 Hz refresh rate and AMD free sync which as a side note also works with Nvidia graphics cards or anything else as it's an “open” variable refresh rate technology. Having this aids in frame rates with some thing like an older computer so you don't have to use the sink or deal with choppy image that has a bunch of screen tearing which pretty much ruins your game experience this thing smooth it out by having the monitor refresh at the same rate that your graphics card or CPU can output it. Having both an HDMI port and a DVI port makes it excellent to connect to basically anything these days as if it doesn't have the correct port for your device you could always get an adapter to one of these. Sadly there is no speakers on this thing but that's what you get this price point anyways it's already exceeding expectations here on just about everything else and if you're using this for gaming you're probably using headphones anyways (or should be lol) so this won't matter. I do wanna point out this has a set base on it and it's not really adjustable so keep this in mind. I probably wouldn't be using this for work from home situation as I would want a higher resolution for lower eye strain and adjustability. But what it does do great at is media consumption and gaming which this knocks out of the park. Also wanted to note as somebody who suffers from headaches migraines and burning eyes from poor electronic device screens this does not have any sort of noticeable flicker or harsh blue light and has a ton of settings in the menu for this as it includes Acer vision care which is super nice for somebody like me and this did not affect me after using it for six hours straight and one day.

Monitor number 3
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Acer and their great balance of features and performance for gamers and general users alike. It features a 1080 resolution, a 100Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms response time, which is ideal for fast-paced gaming. I have only tested on a hand full of games because it is my 3rd monitor. My other monitors have lag that you can tell be not much, this is by far my fastest one. The monitor also supports AMD FreeSync technology, which helps to reduce screen tearing and stuttering. I don't have this in my PC I have intel i3 but still looks great. In addition to its gaming capabilities, the monitor also offers a number of features that make it a great choice for general use. The monitor has a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees, so you can enjoy accurate colors and images from any position. It also has a built-in blue light filter, which helps to reduce eye strain. That is very big, I am into the filters and really like they have finally made something with the filter built in. This is a well-rounded monitor that offers a great value for the price. It's a great choice for gamers who are looking for a responsive and smooth gaming experience, and it's also a great choice for general users who want a monitor with a wide viewing angle and a built-in blue light filter. Can't get over that part.
