Here’s my personal take on the Acer AOPEN 27" Curved FHD Gaming Monitor after spending time with it:
Right away, the curve on this screen just pulls you in. I was honestly surprised by how immersive it feels—especially for gaming. The 180Hz refresh rate is super smooth; playing fast-paced shooters, I didn’t notice any tearing thanks to FreeSync Premium. Everything just flowed, and the 1ms response time really helps in competitive games where every split-second counts.
Setup was simple—I just plugged in my HDMI and DisplayPort cables and was ready to go. The menu’s easy enough to navigate, and the stand holds steady (even when I accidentally bumped my desk). The monitor looks sharp, too, with those slim bezels and a solid build.
When it comes to colors and brightness, they’re pretty good for a budget monitor. Blacks are deep and the contrast makes scenes pop, but it’s not quite as vibrant as some pricier panels. Still, for everyday games and streaming, I was happy with how things looked. The 27” screen gives plenty of real estate, and the 1080p resolution is fine unless you’re sitting really close and hunting for ultra-sharp text.
As for negatives, there’s no built-in speakers, so you’ll need headphones or external speakers for sound. For some super fast games with lots of dark scenes, there can be a little ghosting, but unless you’re extremely picky you’ll barely notice. I didn’t have any issues with light bleed or dead pixels on mine, but I’ve seen some reviewers mention it, so it might depend on your luck.
Pros:
Really smooth 180Hz gameplay
Immersive curved screen
Easy setup and sturdy build
Good value for the money
Cons:
No built-in speakers
Occasional ghosting in dark, fast games
1080p resolution is fine, not super sharp for text up close
Bottom line: If you want a big, curved monitor that’s awesome for gaming and don’t want to break the bank, this model nails it. I’d definitely recommend it to friends looking for smooth action and a more immersive experience.

Really liked the monitor, its a little finicky but easy to get the hang of, the colors are a little more dull compared to the ASUS TUF monitor I got in-store but is still really good for gaming

The screen colors are terrible...washed out. Very disappointing after reading reviews of how good the color is. Pic has been added to show how faded the colors are (black shows as grey).

This is a great monitor, at an affordable price. I use it a lot at the University. It is quite large and very hands-on monitor. It performs well and until now it has met all the expectations I had for it.

For the cost the size and quality are great. Son needed a bigger screen than laptop for his music production software. Easy to set up and perfect size for his desk. Not too big but allows him to see everything. He is very pleased. He uses Ableton, steam games (lethal company, flight sims, etc) and says it works great.

Good Monitor, But the Pulsing Blue Light Is Annoy

I’ve been using this monitor since August, and overall, it meets my needs very well. The display quality is good, and it performs as expected for work and entertainment. However, one thing that bothers me is the pulsing blue light when the monitor is plugged in but turned off. It’s a bit distracting, especially in a dimly lit room. Aside from that, it’s a solid monitor with no major issues. Would be perfect if there were an option to disable that light!

I bought this to use for my ps5. The 120hz and hdr look great with no ghosting. UI is a little clunky but has more features than you’d expect. In this price range im not sure what more you could ask for.
