Upgraded from a 17" regular display. Love the stand, better than the boring squares/circles others come with. Easily moves in all directions. Headset rest on the back could use some design improvements but I don't use it anyway. VGA had some Vsync and tearing problems, but HDMI has 0 problems with AMD Freesync. Wish it had DisplayPort inputs.

This is my second Acer monitor for my dual monitor setup. I chose this particular one because of the wide feet on the stand and the up/down height adjustment.
Now the reason for the 4 star rating: This monitor does not have a display port, only HDMI. In order to unlock the advertised 75hz refresh rate you need to create a custom resolution in your GFX card's settings. After I figured that out, it was great. I've had no issues with flickering, tearing or dead spots and the thin bezel looks great.

In the first month of use, this monitor has easily handled everything I've thrown at it. I've been using it for both work and gaming and some days it's been on for 12 hours or more. Great picture and brightness, nice for work and a nice quick refresh rate which is great for gaming. Highly recommend this monitor especially at this price point!

I am so pleased with this product! I initially got it since it was on sale and have been blown away. I have never played on a monitor before and I think this was a great stepping stone! Was very simple to set up and I love as soon as your system shuts down so does the monitor! Overall, I am so glad I bought this product!

I bought mine on a sale. It's a good quality monitor with 2 HDMI so I can play on my PS4 or us my PC without any issues except the speakers are not that good so I decided to use my $10 Logitech S120 Wired Speakers and it is WAY better then the built in speakers. The only reason I bought this product was for every specs and features except for the built in speakers which I could care less for. So if you do decide to buy this product be sure to have good quality speakers or ever a sound bar.

Purchased this monitor as a second screen to use with my laptop. Was looking for resolution, screen size, and value. This monitor delivers on all three. The only disappointment was no HDMI input. Granted, that wasn't a requirement for me, but when I saw the monitor had two HDMI connections and it came with an HDMI cable I hoped I could ditch my HDMI to VGA converter. Alas, these appear to be only HDMI "out" connections. Still a great monitor for the price.

I am not a gamer but needed a new monitor since mine had died during COVID with working from home. Found this one and decided it would work and it has been amazing! So great to be back to working with two monitors again! The picture is very crisp and beautiful and print is very easy to read.

I bought this monitor for my kids new gaming pc and they've been very happy with it. The picture looks excellent and haven't heard a single complaint from them. I don't necessary like the base of the monitor as it takes up a good bit of desk space but it isn't causing any problems.

For the price, there are much better options out there. This monitor is 75hz, a happy medium, but if refresh rate is your thing, save for 144hz or better. Color is horrible with the factory settings. Blacks are over black, things are way over contrasted. The overdrive feature is one that sounds good on paper, but in practice is better left off. The speakers are a gimmick, good for use with an Xbox if you didn't want to wear headphones, but anything else is better. Redeeming qualities are the stand. Height adjustment and tilt are great. The screen has really good anti-glare. Which is why I am giving two starts instead of one. My big problem with this is Acer and their warranty. I have had this monitor for three months and already have gotten multiple dead pixels. These are not covered under their three year warranty. I would steer clear as there are much better deals out there for the price.

If you are rockin' an AMD GPU and looking for a budget-friendly gaming monitor or three you would be hard-pressed to find a better option than the Acer XP251Q. FreeSync paired with an AMD GPU offers an incredible refresh rate. I can really tell the difference.
