Overall Impression:
After a month with this monitor, it’s a noticeable upgrade from standard 60–144 Hz screens — especially in fast-paced games and high-FPS sessions. The higher refresh rate paired with sharp 1440p resolution makes motion feel smooth and viewing comfortable for long hours.

Refurbished Notes:
The refurb condition means quality varies a bit. Most units arrive working great, but a small risk of defects is inherent (e.g., panel issues reported with some Acer refurbs). Warranty coverage and return options matter.
