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.

    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.

    We purchased multiple ACER monitors for our home office, and they have exceeded expectations across the board. The image quality is sharp and consistent, with excellent color clarity that makes long workdays much easier on the eyes. Setup was straightforward, and the monitors integrated seamlessly with our existing equipment. The slim design keeps the workspace clean and professional, while the adjustable settings make it easy to customize for productivity and comfort. Performance has been reliable with no flicker or lag, whether handling everyday office work, multitasking, or extended screen time. Overall, these ACER monitors offer outstanding value, quality, and performance. Highly recommended for anyone building or upgrading a home office setup.

    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.

    Bought this in a hurry as a replacement of a DELL; last one in the store, easy purchase, easy plug-and-play setup. Colors are good and the size just right for my home-office set-up. Pleased!

    My 2 cents

    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.
