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.

    Perfect monitor for working from home. Easy on my eyes, clear, and easy to hook up to my work laptop. I like it so much I bought two more to make a dual set up and extend my personal laptop.

    Great monitor! I bought it to work from home and it's perfect! Even bought the same monitor again (open box special) so I could have a dual monitor set up. Can't go wrong at this pricepoint!

    I honeslty think its a pretty good monitor especially if you have a budget and its on a budget. The color settings is not THAT good but i can run with it. But other than that its a pretty good monitor. It runs 120 FPS on fortnite, the monitor stand makes it look like a office monitor but its alr ig. But again its a pretty good monitor for a budget price

    I bought this monitor just to extend displays for working from home. It was easier to plug in and use than my HP monitor, and it's so light. Great color display and resolution. It was the perfect, cost effective choice. Would buy again.

    Great inexpensive monitor for home office

    I purchased this monitor to attach to my employer's Dell laptop for work-from-home. The monitor is attached via HDMI and works perfectly. I've not had to change any of the picture controls. Some of the reviews complain that there's no power switch; there most definitely is on the lower right-hand side in the back (it's a multi-purpose switch). My only wish is that the monitor's height was adjustable; it's a bit high for me but that's not a deal breaker. It's a great monitor for the price for general use.

    The Acer KA242Y is a fantastic monitor for its price. It offers great color quality and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, making it perfect for both work and gaming. At such a low price point, I have no complaints. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a budget-friendly monitor!

    The monitor was easy to set up and use. It is bigger then my last monitor so I have had to move it back alot to make it easier for me to see the print with my bifocals. As far as the monitor, the colors are vivid. The only bad part I have found is how you adjust various items on the screen. Instead of individual buttons you have on one button you have to scroll thru. It's clumsy but with practice it can be done. Otherwise I'm very happy with it and I would say it's a good value at $99.00.

    I trade the futures markets and saw that the reviews stated this monitor has a great refresh rate and colors, both important for chart details and entries and exits. After purchase, I am highly satisfied and the size is perfect for my desktop with my other 3 monitors and laptop...not oversized. It appears to not have audio but my other two monitors have that so not an issue. I am a happy camper with this monitor.

    The monitor is light weight, has good color and seems to be working great so far. I do wish the screen was an inch taller. I have an 2007 24inch Dell which is 1 inch taller and I like the height of it.

    Solid monitor with audio issues

    Monitor screen quality is solid, great panel, with solid durability and it runs very smooth. Its colors are nice and it felt okay to play on. However it comes with very minimal ports, and I couldn’t seem to get any audio playing on this monitor, couldn’t connect any speakers nor get any sound from the monitor. I tried the manual and everything, but nothing seemed to be working.

    A Productivity Game Changer

    Adding a second screen to my setup has been one of the most impactful upgrades to my daily workflow. Whether working from home or on the go, this portable monitor has significantly improved multitasking and efficiency. Design and Portability The display is slim, lightweight, and easy to pack, making it perfect for remote work or travel. The build feels sturdy despite its portability, and most models include a protective cover or stand that doubles as a case. Setup and Compatibility Setup is seamless—just plug it in via USB-C or HDMI and the screen activates instantly. It’s compatible with both Windows and macOS, and also works well with tablets, smartphones, and gaming consoles. No software installation needed. Display Quality The screen resolution is crisp, and brightness is sufficient for most indoor environments. While it may not match a high-end desktop monitor in terms of color accuracy, it’s more than adequate for spreadsheets, documents, presentations, and video calls. Functionality Using a second screen means I can run video calls on one screen while taking notes or reviewing documents on the other. For anyone who toggles between multiple windows throughout the day, the efficiency gains are immediate.

    Got this to replace my Acer "S232HL Abid" vintage 2011. Nice price at $80: it fits my desk and is all I need to go with a very old PC. I first tried a slightly cheaper (open box) Dell S2421NX, which bothered my eyes (oddly pixelated) and had only 60hz refresh rate. My only beef with this Acer is the lack of a power button. The user manual shows the standard for the series, I guess, which is 5 controls, but this version only has a multifunction toggle. No power switch is a bit odd, but of course I can work around that with sleep settings.
