Acer 24" 1080p Monitor - $120 - Still A Deal?

[@jmathison21]

I own this monitor and have been very pleased with it. I have had it since december of 2016 when I bought my pc and it has exceeded my expectations compared to my previous monitor. Highly reccomended to anyone looking for a cheap, high quality, ips, 1080p 60Hz panel.

[@Sulto_]

Jacob Mathison Does 60Hz means my fps will cap to 60fps only?

[@TechDeals]

If you turn VSync on, yes...

[@Sulto_]

Tech Deals Holy cow, thanks for the ultra quick reply

[@GianV7]

Also you can overclocked to 75hz. I manage to get it to 77hz but at 78hz it didn't respond. so I left it to 75hz. (Well that was my case tho, so good luck if you try)

Also a great place to see deal alerts, many deals are flash sales and are not worth a video, so I post a few of those each week when I see a great deal!

Its color accuracy, contrast, and black level is slightly better than the monitor that it's replacing (Also an IPS monitor). I got it to run at 75Hz and at that refresh rate vs 60Hz, I notice that motion blur is a bit lower. Overall, I'm very happy with this monitor.

There is an Acer monitor which is 1080p 144hz, it costs less than 200 bucks but doesn't have built in speakers, there is also the ASUS VG248QE which is still 1080p 144hz, but it has built in speakers, and it costs around 230 bucks. I saw an Acer monitor with the same specs as the ASUS one but with free sync for less than 200 bucks, but I don't think it's on sale now.

I used to experience noticeable ghosting or some kind of artifact, which I thought was because of the response time, but thankfully it was completely gone after I did this. Hope this helps :)

I will add some important info that found on a review. This beautiful monitor has an incredible low input lag ( just 9.5ms !! ). Also it is not VESA mountable, you will need to buy some stuff to mount it, but I still think its one of the best monitors on the market for such price. I own 2 of them and LOVED them as a Graphic Designer and gamer :)

[@liamhardman875]

2:50 It doesn't matter how fast the server tickrate is in relation to your monitors refresh rate because they aren't synchronised together. In theory, even if you had a 1000Hz monitor and you played on a 30Hz/Tick server, you could still "miss" a tick.

[@victorguapoako]

note: 4ms is fine for CS. Barely any difference between lower response times. 128 tick (csgo competitive tick rate) servers update every 8 Ms according to the 16 Ms of 64 tick. don't be afraid of this monitor if you play CSGO like me

[@TechDeals]

Truth! I've tried 1ms TN panels and can't honestly see the difference, but maybe I'm just old...

I might be an outlier, but I got one of these from Amazon which had a dark grey splotch on the left side (Looks like burn, but I don't know how that could have happened) and 3 dead pixels on the right mid side. Sent it back and got another and it had 1 dead pixel on the left, and one on the right. I'm not saying to not get this, because it seems pretty highly rated. But if you were to get it, get it from a trusted site so the return will be simple.

[@carlos2004]

Just upgraded from from a TN to IPS about three months ago. And yeah, I'm sticking to IPS after this. However, I went from basically this (24" 1080p) to an ultrawide 25". Got it open-box for $130 and can say I got a steal for how much i'm liking this ultrawide. 21:9 should be the standard since it does everything better 16:9. Only if netflix had wide content.

[@xenonwj2396]

I just want to say that I own this monitor and it was very hard giving it up. If it was not for the fact that I wanted to do 144 hz gaming, I bought an ASUS VQ248QE, I would still playing on this. Great price and does everything you need on it. If Acer ever decides to take this same display and add 144 hz I would buy it in a heart beat. Another thing to add is input lag which is of course different then response time. For an IPS panel this puppy has 9.6 millisecond input lag which puts it up there with TN gaming panels. Anyone purchasing this monitor will not be disappointed.

[@drkRoss89]

Looks cool. Can you tell me if this has screw holes for VESA mounting?

[@DoctorDDub]

drkRoss I'm 7 months behind, but no it does not.

[@truelink64]

Another reason response rate is important is for input delay. This is mostly when playing Fighting games but when you make your input, sure the machine always has the same reaction time to it but the screen doesn't. Having a 1 ms response time is a must for these games as you need to react as fast as you can to everything that's coming your way, weither it's the opponent's attacks or even just their movements. You also need this good response time to get good muscle memory, as lag on your inputs directly counter that. Also, every single offline game benefits from low response time, as they don't need to wait on a server to give you the necessary information.

Ray Obando AOC q2778vqe, 250€ for a 27" 1440p Tn, it's quite good as far as tn panels go in terms of viewing angles and color, greys are a weak area but it's not bad. I was able to overclock mine to 85hertz but it ships at 60hertz stock and i can't guarantee all of them oc that much. I certainly had a hard time finding a 1440p 27" monitor for that price or lower, this is basically the cheapest you can get that. (in my area at least, finland)

[@DeadlyRedRing]

The 4ms is referring to gtg response time which is more important for ghosting and not for input lag. Since it is a 60hz monitor, 4ms should remove ghosting. Companies usually report the best time rather than the average, but since you'd have to go over 16ms for there to be some noticable ghosting, 4ms is well within the desired range.

It also comes with a DVI, VGA, and a HDMI cable

[@Medievalfan94]

[@LuparaX2]

You should also look into how high the refresh rate can go before frameskipping. Use CRU or the graphics cards utility to add a custom resolution with a higher refresh rate and check with the UFO test if it is frameskipping. My aoc i2369vm could do 75 Hz, but my LG 29UM68-P starts frameskipping without a freesync compatible GPU for example.

[@Erowens98]

I got a 1440p 27" never looked back. Sure, im only getting about 10% extra ppi compared to a 24" 1080p so it's not much sharper. But the extra size is a god send for work, and makes games more immersive.

i have bought the 21.5" version and the image quality is very nice, but it doesn't have an output jack, so if you play on console you need to plugin your headset into a capture card, or to use a surround headset plugged in to the console.

I got the 23 inch version for around the same price. I must say it's a really good entry budget IPS monitor for if you're into graphic design and gaming like myself.
