Acer Nitro VG240YSbmiipx 24 Inch Full HD Gaming Monitor (IPS Panel, FreeSync, 165 Hz (OC), 2 ms, DP, HDMI, Black)

I'm really impressed and pleased with this monitor and I'm very glad that I decided to go for this one. I chose this one because of a Youtube video comparing the best budget monitors.I expected there to maybe be one or two dead pixels as I'm buying tech from online and it has to be shipped to me, I understand that when things are physically delivered they can break during the process and I'm cool with that, it's not the end of the world. But actually, there are no dead pixels. The screen is absolutely perfect, not a single defect.I was worried that there'd be some backlight bleed due to other reviewer's images and claims, but thankfully there is no backlight bleeding. Again, the screen is perfect. I did a ghosting test and it ran perfectly smooth, there was no ghosting.The screen refresh rate is 160 Hz just like it was specified to have in the listing. Many people think that monitors are exactly as advertised straight out of the box, but they're not. It doesn't mean the screen isn't 160 Hz, it just means that you have to manually set it to 160 Hz. I suspect that other reviewers here have not done that judging by their complaints.To do that, go to the 'system' section in windows, select 'display', scroll down and then select 'advanced display settings', scroll down and then select 'refresh rate' and set it to the correct one. Mine was set to 140 Hz, so I changed it to 160 Hz.As for the sound, it's definitely not great but it's pretty okay. It's definitely usable on it's own and it doesn't sound bad, per say, but if you're trying to make a great setup, definitely buy a separate pair of speakers.It's got a neat little joystick on the back so you can change the display's settings way easier, too. Which is definitely an appreciated benefit.[ Picture provided is of it with a white fullscreen to demonstrate how there are no dead pixels and then of a black fullscreen to demonstrate how there is no backlight bleed. ]

I bought this product to go with an RTX 3080 graphics card and to replace the aging repurposed 1080p/60Hz TV I was using as a screen for my PS4, Switch, and PC. The jump in quality has been immense; I can't believe I went so long just using TVs as screens, because the colour depth on this is a breath of fresh air. Other users mention some backlight bleed, and though it is present in my bottom-right corner to a degree, I do not find it distracting. It features FreeSync, but because I record things which Freesync is known to mess with, I do not use it.At its price point, offering this level of picture quality with both a higher resolution (albeit not 4K, which is excessive for my standards) AND a 144Hz refresh rate is a steal. In addition, it has 1 displayport input and two HDMI inputs. It's really great to have a multi-input monitor that lets me hook up my two consoles and my computer at the same time. It features an 'auto-source', which will detect when an input is incoming and switch to that source automatically as long as the screen is on or on standby. This makes it really easy to switch from PC to console, provided I make my PC display exclusively on my second screen first.There are a couple downsides: for one, the provided stand takes up a lot of table space and is not particularly stable, but the monitor has a 100x100 vesa mounting screw setup at the back, and I have it mounted to the wall. The built in speakers are of pretty poor quality compared to the TV I was using prior, but as a monitor the assumption is your computer is handling the audio output solution. For use with consoles, the screen features one 3.5mm jack output; I use this to rout the screen's audio to my computer's line in port and then run my console audio to sound devices connected to my computer, including the second screen.If you want to dip your toe into framerates and resolutions above 1080/60 this is a pretty great monitor for its price. When you add in the versatility with multiple inputs, it's elevated to amazing.

Just got it, so only had it a few hours. Its the 27 inch 1440p. picture quality great, 75 refresh rate, freesync, No dead pixels and no light bleed. so far so good. still have to mess with the settings to get it to my liking, will do later, but out the box its good. will keep this updated as i go. speakers are a bit crappy, but they work and are ok, i dont mind that tho, its to be expected. 2x hdmi 1x dp 1x audio jack. awsome picture. photos dont do it justice.P.S Just a wee update on monitor. Its been working perfectly. Once calibrated, its really great for the price.Only thing ive noticed is there is a bit of back-light bleed, down mostly in bottom right hand corner, where controls are, but its not to bad, and certainly not bad enough to send back, only really noticeable in dark games,But ive had quite a lot of monitors, and they all have a bit of back-light bleed, I had a monitor before, three times the price and the bleed was terrible, so a bit is to be expected. but thats normal. still a great monitor. Only wish i had waited till this black Friday sale, dam! could have saved myself 60 quid, still worth it tho.
