Acer 21.5 Inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Ultra-Thin Zero Frame Computer Monitor (HDMI & VGA Port), SB220Q bi

I bought this because I needed a second display and didnt want to spend a lot of money. Its a good deal for the price but it doesnt have the color gamut I need and I noticed rightward ghosting of dark lines horizontal lines like text and the likes so Im returning it.

First things first: please treat this review as a 3.5 star, which is what I would rate it if Amazon allowed me to. My main issue with this screen is that it has to be the sorriest excuse of an IPS/AHVA/PLS panel Ive ever seen. The viewing angles are actually so bad for left/right that there is only a very small position where I can leave my head so that there is no discolouration on the sides, worse than any TN panel Ive ever seen. Also, it looks like there is a lot of excess light directly off center to your heads position, as if there is backlight bleed that shifts as you move your head left and right while staring at the screen. Since this was purchased to be my second monitor, it isnt that big of a problem to ME specifically... but it also means its impossible to keep my head in the perfect position, due to it being off-center to me. I actually had to tilt the screen somewhat sideways (instead of being flush next to my main monitor) so that the sides would mostly look normal in terms of colour. Now I WILL admit that it is possible this is a defect with my actual screen, possibly some problem with backlight bleed or something, but since this is my only sample size, I must rate it accordingly. If Acer has a problem with my statements, they should step up their quality control game and not let a monitor like this pass inspection for sale. Now, the good! For a breakdown, Ive rated this a 4/5 for gaming, 3/5 for picture quality, and 5/5 for brightness, heres my take on each: - The input lag is quite low; there is no system lag while working on it. Being above 60Hz also gives it a solid edge for gamers. Gamers generally care less about viewing angle issues like what I described, so as a gaming screen this should not be too bad. Unfortunately I still cannot ignore the viewing angle problem due to how bad it is, and I will never rate any screen below 120Hz as 5 stars for gaming, so it settles at 4. - Picture quality is actually quite good. The contrast is great and the colours very crisp - if the viewing angles and backlight shenanigans were a non-issue i would probably even rate this 5 stars (largely considering the price), but alas, 3 stars. - For brightness, its certainly bright enough for my needs, though Ive not used it in direct sunlight. The anti-glare works well and it keeps its picture quality and visibility perfectly fine even with a flashlight shone at it. I cannot ask for more, so full marks here. All in all, for $90 I cannot truly complain. It does its job of being a screen for discord, watching videos/anime, and handling my stream alerts/notifications. Its light and easy to set up, the on/standby light is not bright yet still well visible, so not distracting in a dark room. Unfortunately viewing angle issue and discolouration it produces ALONE is enough for me to say consider other options, but the rest of the screen pulls it up a bit. If this is going to be your main monitor, and you are not someone who does little but game on your computer? Stay far away. If you need a cheap, decent screen for gaming or this is going to be a low-importance second monitor? Id say its up for consideration, if only because its 75Hz at this price point.

For $90, this is the best monitor you will get. I was on a budget and decided to get this monitor as an external display for my laptop, I use it for gaming and everyday use. Pros: - Good size (I wasnt looking for a big monitor) - Fairly thin bezels. They are still a bit thick but arent as bad compared to other monitors. - Decent color accuracy - 75Hz is fairly smooth. There is some ghosting when youre gaming, but if you dont pay too much attention, you wont notice. - Good for gaming. Cons: - Took me a while to calibrate. This monitor does not come out color accurate out of the box. The whites arent always white and blacks arent always black. - Screen bleeding. Being an IPS display, its kind of bound to happen. If you lower the brightness, it wont be so bad (depends on where and how bad your screen bleed is) - No HDMI cord - No built-in speakers

Purchased one and liked it so much I purchased another. Great resolution and color for price. Highly recommend to buy.

Website says its LED in the comparison chart, box says LED on outside. Users manual says LCD. So what is it??? Another caution; using this in a docking station with multiple displays cause my display #2 to go 6 off the screen and the graphics were not able to be set to the 16:9 scale anymore.

I bought this monitor as a secondary for my gaming setup. My main monitor is much nicer and so it’s easy to compare the quality. This monitor has mediocre color quality and is a bit small but for the price you can’t ask for much else. Just a good monitor at a low price

Bought this after my Asus monitor started to get bad. At first, I had a problem where the image was very yellow, which I noticed when the white Acer logo appeared green. I was not able to fix it on my computer, I had to mess with the monitors RGB Gains, which was aggravating my hand since the controls were on the underside of the monitor. After a couple of days of trouble shooting, I got the whites to an acceptable tone. Occasionally, in areas covered by a flat bright color, such as an image of the sky, I could see the pixels, but it can be overlooked, especially if you are playing a game or watching an action movie.

I bought these monitors to replace the VGA monitors Id previously been using. Im pleased with the size, brightness, and picture quality -- all a huge improvement over what I had been using, and at a great price. HOWEVER. These monitors are VERY thin and light, with a lightweight base. The result is that they move VERY easily. If I bump my desk, the monitors shift. If I have to reach behind them (such as to feed a cord behind the desk), Im afraid Im going to bump them and tip them over. If Id shopped for these in store instead of online, I would have purchased something thats more stable/more hefty. Overall, though, Im happy with them.

Needed another screen for work and it works perfectly, without breaking the bank.

This was a great buy I only return due to my company offer to purchase one for me
