Works just how I wanted it too and for a cheap price! I wanted to get it for my xbox series x because i needed a 120 hz monitor so i could run 120 fps on fortnite and it worked perfectly and is very smooth, definitely worth the price!!

I use this monitor for work. It was easy to set up and has clear crisp images. The base is sturdy, so I don’t worry about my cats knocking it over.

My Apple desktop computer broke and instead of sending over $1k replacing I bought some 24inch Acer computer monitors to go with my awesome Acer laptop for under $200. When it comes to saving money, hands down best decision ever!!!!!

Bought a couple to replace two 10 year old monitors. Working great. Not a fan of control/power button on back but many manufacturers are going this way. Has enough option controls to suit a person's preferences.

5 stars because it’s exactly what you think it is. Cheap 120hz monitor. No issues, turns on every time and works well with my sim rig set up. You can see in the picture of how is looks size wise compared to a 55” tv.
