Acer Nitro 24.5 Full HD 1920 x 1080 PC Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | Up to 250Hz Refresh | 1ms (VRB) | ZeroFrame | ErgoStand | 1 x Display Port 1.2 & 2 x HDMI 2.0 Ports | XFA253Q Zbiipr

I have had this monitor for about a week now and I have to say this thing is great. I am using it for ps4 as of right now because I plan to get a pc in the future. Yes I know that 144hz isnt compatible with a console but as of right now this is all I have. Im mostly playing fortnite at the moment but I tested it out on other games and I literally just realized that there is a slight ghosting. Its nothing noticable at all but I was spaced out staring at my character while spinning and I saw like a small shadow or “ghosting” effect coming off his arm. Like i said nothing to worry about as I am guessing this wont happen on 144hz cause its a faster refresh rate and will be a ton smoother. I am just curious if anyone has this issue on theirs as well? This super unoticable ghosting is no reason why you should not get the monitor unless you notice a lot

It comes with Display port to Display Port Cable, Power Cable, and headphone to headphone cable. The speakers on the monitor are small tweeters, So, might want to stick with your awesome heaphones. Very refreshingly satisfying frame rate. Compared to regular 60Hz, Everything looks smoother. Mouse cursor moves more smoothly, the videos play more smoothly, and games play better. Switching from a Samsung 4K monitor that runs at 60Hz, Faster frames are just so much more satisfying that going back to Full HD is no big deal. I do not miss 4K, at all. I fell in love with this monitor since It went from using 30% of my graphics card to 70% of my graphics capacity playing the same game at 144 fps. Now, it feels like the games were meant to be played this way. Note: if you play a game in 144Hz, you will never want to game in 60Hz, again... Just for FYI, I was thinking about building a new rig just to max potential this monitor, but after using my current rig from 8 years ago with modern budget card, I changed my mind. I am using Nvidia GTX 1050 2GB with this, and it works with low settings with some medium post processing. Am I getting full 144 fps? seeing that it does not go 100% usage, but fluxuates around 70%, probably. I have an Xbox One S on 1080p TV, and comparing the gameplay of PC and Xbox S, monitor makes the PC gaming experience so much better. I have only praises for 144Hz gaming. It definitely improves the gaming experience. I am guessing, due to less eye strain.

Worth the buy for the 144hz and G-Sync compatibility it has. Was a great combo with the GTX 1660TI I bought to play games with and NVIDIA announcing G-Sync compatibility to with many other monitors, this being one of them. Picture quality is okay, not the best, but just ok, monitor is very bright, had to lower the brightness so much just to stop it from hurting my eyes. One thing that really annoys me with this monitor, is that it often has problems detecting a video source, the monitor will cycle over and over through the video ports but wont detect anything even if there are things connected. This usually happens when the monitor and or computer goes to sleep. If any of those happen, it will more than likely never pick up the video source again and I have to force shut down the computer to fix it. I have searched online over this issue and it seems to be the monitor and not my GPU. This issue also happens when booting up the computer after the computer has been off(shut down). I have to have the monitor off, turn the computer on, wait to let the computer be in Windows Welcome/Log in screen to finally be able to turn on the monitor safely without having that video source issue. I kinda figured out a trick to know when its ready to turn the monitor back on, and its when my Logitech mouse stops cycling through the RGB colors and is set to 1 color because of the settings i have on it. Once the RGB on the mouse stops cycling, is when I know its at the windows log in screen and its safe to turn on the monitor to avoid the video source cycling issue. This is really annoying to deal with, and am taking a star off because of this. Should be 3 stars because of how annoying it is, but its such a great monitor that Im leaving it with 4 stars. Maybe someone on here has a fix for this issue if others know about it.

All works good. So far only thing I dislike are the buttons that are used to configure the screen settings. Also everytime I switch to gaming mode the reticle and frame rate shows. Wouldve been better if it could be disabled fully.

I got this to replace my 60hz Dell IPS panel (had brilliant colors, but slower response), and I am quite pleased since I play a lot of fast-paced games. nVidia G-Sync was very easy to setup (I highly recommend only using it in Full-Screen mode, I had some issues with windowed borderless in some games), and I get insane frame rates on my RTX 3070 with zero screen tearing. Pros: - Very fast response time - High frame rates - No screen tearing Cons: - Colors not as good as other panels, but this is to be expected since its a TN panel. This one is just barely a con because I was able to google and find good monitor settings to use.

I bought this for $209 and is the best deal you will find for all the features you get with it. Comes with display port, which is extremely hard to find at this price and of course freesync (just make sure your CPU is compatible with freesync, otherwise this is useless). Runs great at 144hz and there is no input lag whatsoever. The main complaint i see about this monitor is that the colors come washed out, but personally I think the picture looks fine. The picture isnt anything to brag about but the way people exaggerate it makes it seem like the worst monitor on the market. PROS: Excellent value Freesync Display port (comes with cable) Base is amazing! Heavy and stable. Raises up high, tilts far enough and has a great swivel. CONS: some people would say washed out colors but I havent seen this to be an issue. Picture out of the box looks fine IMO.

Color is awesome, runs smoothly. I use it on my laptop for playing Valorant and it runs much better than my screen. I get 150+ fps and 144-165 hz.

I was borrowing my friends ASUS VG248QE for a few months as he didnt need it, and when I gave it back, I couldnt get used to 60hz refresh rate again for gaming. I needed a 144hz monitor. I looked at the different offerings from multiple companies, and this one stood our for its price. It is $50 cheaper than the ASUS monitor I mentioned previously, and in my opinion looks better from a build quality stand point. Plus, at this price, the inclusion of Freesync is awesome, even though I have an Nvidia card. Very pleased with my purchase so far, but if anything happens, I will update this review. Pros: PRICE Good build quality Freesync No dead pixels (yet) Includes a display port, which in my opinion is the best option for connectivity Stand is fully adjustable and can rotate to 90 degrees 1ms response time Very easy to put together and is easily able to be attached to a VESA mount. Viewing angles from the sides are actually very good, and will look fine in a 3 monitor setup Cons: Color accuracy is not the best, but is to be expected from a TN panel, but it is perfectly fine for playing games. The seam around my display does not seem to be pushed together all the way, but it isnt a big deal. I wish the speakers were louder, but at least they are there. I HIGHLY recommend this monitor

It’s hard to recommend this monitor. I received my first one with a dead pixel on arrival which I noticed not even 10 minutes into use. But I wasn’t willing to let one bad monitor ruin the experience for me. So I requested a replacement, and when I received a new one it had a white spot at the top of the monitor. However that wasn’t enough for me to call it quits. I continued to use the monitor for another week until I was running some benchmarks which required me to turn off G-Sync. Which didn’t cause any problems until I turn G-Sync back on which caused a dead pixel to appear. I don’t think it’s a problem with G-Sync, it’s a problem with how the monitor wants to be able to run G-Sync and AMD Freesync. The store page claims to be G-Sync compatible but when you receive the item, the packaging only says that it is Freesync compatible. I am convinced now that I have gone through two of these monitors, that these monitors are not truly compatible with G-Sync which is causing these monitors to to damage themselves. Despite all of those problems, the overall quality of the monitor is great. When you receive the monitor is has a blue light filter enabled by default but with a little bit of tweaking with the settings you can get rid of that easily. The refresh rate is smooth at 144 hz with very little tracing or motion blur. Sadly it is not oveclockable to 165 hz, and any attempt to do so will cause the screen to go black until the refresh rate gets changed back to 144 hz. Despite the problems that G-Sync may cause, if you can turn it on without damaging you monitor it is well worth it. G-Sync offers a much smoother experience with virtually no screen tearing to be seen and you can expect the same with AMD Freesync if you are on team Red. Final conclusions, the monitor is great for the price and offers a lot more features than I was expecting. However the dead pixels make it hard for me to recommend seeing as I have now had to return two of these monitors.

Pros: Fast/good refresh, nice build quality, decent price, ergonomics/stand are great for adjustability, comes w/DP cable. Cons: Poor picture quality!! There is no way to get the brightness/contrast right...you can have all the refresh you want, but if you cant see in the shadows and/or sun whats the point? The colors are trash (very washed out/inaccurate). Gamma is crap too. Viewing angles are poor, I know, I know its a TN panel...but this is bad I have this monitor parked right next to my 11yo Dell monitor (also a TN) & it looks so much worse. I was looking for an upgrade to the 11yo monitor I have...this is not it. Side notes: There are tons of ways to adjust the picture, Ive tried them all, it just doesnt have the capability. Also, it has a feature that displays current refresh rate in the upper right corner in big bold yellow letters, which you can turn off in the settings...but if you shut the monitor off (even sleep too) then turn back on the setting reverts every time, very annoying. ...Im going to try swapping the DP cable, currently using the one that came w/it. UPDATE: better cable did not work. Found out the picture issues are related to the refresh rate. I understand this is common in low end monitors If you tune the refresh rate back to 60hz the colors/gamma/contrast improve. Still not great, but better. I hope this helps someone. I researched the crap out of this monitor & no one mentioned this issue.
