5.0 out of 5 stars Not a gaming monitor, but performs like one and saves you money

While it’s not officially marketed as a gaming monitor, its performance comes close — and at a much more affordable price.The setup process was straightforward and easy to follow. It wasn’t exactly plug-and-play, but it didn’t require any advanced tech knowledge either. With a bit of attention, I had it up and running without any issues.The image quality is excellent, thanks to the IPS panel, with vibrant colors, sharp resolution, and wide viewing angles. It’s very comfortable for working or studying, especially when multitasking with several windows open. The 27-inch size offers plenty of screen real estate without feeling overwhelming.When it comes to gaming, it really surprised me. The 120Hz refresh rate, 1ms VRB response time, and FreeSync support make gameplay smooth and responsive. I’ve used it for fast-paced games like shooters and racing titles, and it handled them just as well as more expensive gaming monitors I’ve tried before.The design is clean and modern, with slim bezels and a sturdy build. It doesn’t have built-in speakers and the stand isn’t height adjustable, but those are minor trade-offs considering the price.If you’re looking for a monitor that balances strong performance with affordability — for work, study, or casual gaming — this model is a smart choice. I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would absolutely recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice display and if you're real handy, you can adjust the stand height.

So far, I like it. Sharp image, bright colors, good contrast. One thing I noticed right away was that when I installed the stand, the monitor had a noticeable tilt to one side and would require shimming under the stand bottom to correct. Didn't matter to me because I did a DIY modification to the stand height. My desk is a roll-top that I built about 20 years ago in my wood shop. I had measured the clearance underneath to ensure whichever monitor I chose would fit. Well, this fit fine, BUT it was a little closer to the underside of the rolltop for my liking. Took it to the woodshop and pulled the pedestal back out of the base. Scribed a line about 1 1/2 inches from the bottom and shortened it with my bandsaw. Because the post is a rounded-corners square tube and fits over a corresponding square peg in the well of the base, it fit right back in. Only had to clean out some internal support ridges from the tube. Put a little epoxy in the cavity and pushed the post back into the base. Worked great! Don't try it if you're not handy and have proper tools.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does not seem to work with Voodoo 3 3000 AGP video cards

I bought this monitor because it has a VGA port and I needed that for my Compaq DeskPro EP/SB retro gaming computer. This monitor provides an amazingly sharp image. However, the VGA port for some reason, after installing the latest 3dfx Voodoo 1.07 drivers, goes black and displays NO SIGNAL. I ended up removing the Voodoo card and installed a GeForce 4 MX440 AGP video card and after that I had a video signal on the monitor. I ended up giving this monitor to my wife for her business computer and I purchased an Acer Nitro QG271 and it works perfectly with my Voodoo 3 3000 AGP video card.

5.0 out of 5 stars They are Acer and they are quality on a budget

My wife got a pair of these and she likes them much better than her HP monitors. She says the reds are much deeper and that goes for all colors. She uses excel sheets with color coding so she said the Acers are a lot better. I have always bought Acer laptops and monitors when possible for the last 20 yrs. They have a 3 yr warranty and have had no troubles.
