Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Acer KA242Y G0bi monitor's large, clear screen and high refresh rate, resulting in smooth gameplay and a great viewing experience. Many appreciate its affordability and ease of setup. However, some users have noted issues with the power cord length and the lack of a power button on the monitor itself. Overall, the positive feedback on picture quality and performance outweighs the minor reported drawbacks.

    We came in looking for a monitor, keyboard, and mouse for my personal computer. I cannot remember the person who helped us. He was friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and helpful. I love everything we bought.

    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.

      Dear Reality,
      We are sorry to hear your Acer monitor is not meeting your expectations. All Acer monitors offer tilt forward and back to a degree; this monitor does not offer height adjustment or pivot/swivel. We are unable to see on Best Buy's product page where they show the stand as being adjustable as mentioned. This monitor does support 120hz but the refresh rate is limited to what the source device will support. For assistance with the sound or HDR please contact our support team at 1-866-695-2237, chat or social media, and we will be glad to help.

      We appreciate you taking the time to write this review.

      Regards,
      Acer America acer

    I bought this for my gaming computer and I love it! For the price it’s a great monitor and with the matte finish on the screen it doesn’t glare badly like some monitors I’ve purchased. Easy to set up and meets all of my needs at the moment!

    I love this monitor, I own 4. I prefer the 23.8 to the 27 (for me, the 27 is a little too big). I use them for work. The 23.8 is great for spreadsheets. Very easy on my eyes. I've recommended it to a friend who bought a pair and is very happy. Great monitor.
