Pros & Cons
Pros
Hz refresh rate at this price point is a no-brainer imo. Coming from 75 hz to 180hz here.
This monitor is absolutely awesome and will not burn your retinas. Its amount of lighting i believe to be perfect and precise. The red stand is not a deal-breaker for me.
Cons
The viewing angles are absolutely horrid on these monitors. Too much ghosting and blur, even with settings on the monitor itself being tweaked. It looks like a very good monitor but it might have just came faulty.
It wont let me see my bios screen on start up, i have to keep a spare monitor around for that. It just stays blank. Acer suggest resetting the monitor by unplugging any power source and holding down the power button for 30 seconds.
If you're going to upgrade your monitor, don't buy this one. Just spend 50-100 more bucks and get a better one.
However, that means the xbox takes up the other hdmi port on the monitor and there will be none free to connect your pc or other devices.
Highlights
Quality
I can slightly flex it by adjusting the tilt on it, has not damaged the screen.
After some tweaking, though, the panel looks great, the image looks crisp, and my games feel amazing to play.
The monitor is brighter than the picture makes it out to be & in my opinion hdr is also recommended to brighten the screen!
Build quality is flimsy for a monitor.
Price
Fraction of the cost of an equal quality 4k gaming screen.
