Acer GN246HL Bbid 24-Inch 3D Gaming Display (144Hz Refresh Rate)

I love this monitor! It's the best deal out there right now. I was going to buy the asus 144hz monitor but they jacked the price up about 80 bucks for no reason, so I got mad and decided on this and I was not let down.Okay it doesn't have g-sync but I put it next to my friends Asus Rog g-sync and couldn't tell the difference.It doesn't have speakers but who uses crappy monitor speakers anyway.Its really durable, I am constantly taking it to LAN at friends houses and leaving it in my car trunk bouncing around for days. No dead pixels, super dependable and easy to break down and put back in the box with all my other stuff for LAN-ing.Switching to 144hz is the biggest noticeable improvement I have done to my computer short of upgrading video cards.Buy this monitor and don't look back, use the money you saved to buy a nice head set or something.If you found this review helpful please up vote me, thanks.

I cannot tell you how many monitors I had to go through until I settled on this one.Price/Feature: This monitor is priced well. Here are the features I like about the monitor1. 144hz refresh rate,2. Lightboost capable! - lightboost can be used with Nvidia videocards. There is a little tweak that you must use a Custom Resolution Utility (CRU tool) it can be found on blurbusters.com. Lightboost uses the 3d backlight, making it strobe really fast and it further removes blurriness from the image. Gaming with lighboost on is very enjoyable.3. Easy to Debezel. The casing around the monitor can be popped off by using a kitchen knife or anything else that is slim and can separate the bezel.4. Its FlickerFree! I do not have any eyestrain after longer hours of looking at the screen.5. I purchased a second one, and may get a 3rd for surround gaming.Cons1. The vesa mount is on the plastic cover. If you debezel the monitor, you will lose the vesa capability and will need to become creative - luckily there are many options out there in forums.2. Really for the price I have no other cons to share about this monitor.You get a VGA cable, DVI-D cable, Power brick in the package. Stand is not adjustable but does tilt forward and backwards. You will need a screwdriver on hand to tighten the stand.Hope this helped.

HOLY COW This monitor is GREAT for the price. Having upgraded from a 60hz monitor to this one, the difference is NIGHT AND DAY! If you're having problems getting your OS to display it in 144Hz with this monitor, DO NOT USE THE HDMI, as it can only refresh at 60hz. to get the full 144 must use the DVI cable.

Great monitor compared to my old one! Everything was great out of the box and it came with a dvi-d cable, the only problems i have with this monitor are the brightness is way to bright and the settings menu is very hard to navigate and control.

Awesome display, and the colors are very vibrant. 1080p is brilliant on this display, so good in-fact I purchased a second one!Pros:-awesome display-true 1080p-DVI cable(yesss)-adjustable tilt-HDMI compatible-true 144hzCons:-Not really a complaint, but the display is set to SUPER BRIGHT right out of the box!To conclude: get it. I know that you have been thinking about getting one of these for a long time like I did. I too wondered if it changed my skill or anything like that and let me tell you, it did. Once you play 144hz you will never want to go back.

Pros:*Superb Monitor for the price.*No Input Lag.*Great monitor for gaming.*Not harsh for the eyes.Cons:*For some reason I'm not able to go above 120hz anything more then that causes flickering such as 144hz. I've tried removing the cable and putting it back restarting my PC downloading the latest drivers for my graphics card. I'm using an AMD card. So far 120hz is stable for me.Edit: I have fixed the issue, I went to Best Buy and purchased a DVI-D cable for $8 and I am able to use 144hz without any glitches/flickers. You do not need to buy any other brand for 144hz as they're indistinguishable and can't tell the difference by other expensive models offering the same 144hz. I will be buying another model of this monitor next month.

This is a great monitor, I bought three of these for a triple monitor gaming/workstation setup. They came packaged well. They came with a DVI cable but no hdmi cable, this doesn't affect me much because I used DVI only, but I would have liked to have an hdmi cord for each screen as well. One of my biggest complaint is that the screen doesn't have a display port, so the only way to get the 144hz from your PC is using the DVI cable. This is fine for people using it as a single monitor but most GPUs don't come with 3 DVI ports and basic display port to DVI adapters will not allow you past 60hz in 1080, to achieve this you need an expensive Display port to DL-DVI wich costs you around $100 per adapter. If you're fine with hitting only 60hz on your screen then the basic sub $10 adapter will work for full resolution. For the construction of the monitor, my only complaint is that the TV stand mounting holes are not connected to the rest of the monitor to make it solid, it's only 4 threaded holes in the plastic so when tilting the screen on a 3rd party mount, the plastic flexes and it's hard to set the monitor to the correct angle because of the flexing, but once it's in position it is solid. My final complaint is that one of my 3 monitors came with 2 dead pixels, which I am going to try to resolve with the manufacture. All in all this is a fantastic monitor for the price, if running multiple monitors with the expectation of hitting above 60hz, make sure your GPU has enough DVI ports for the amount of monitors you wish to support, unless you wish to spend the extra money on a high end DL-DVI adapter.Pros:Good priceGood image qualityCame with DVI cableThinCons:No hdmi cableNo display port connection (biggest complaint)Flimsy mounting to 3rd party stand/mount

Didn't need to adjust anything , ran games perfect. Make sure you plug it to the video card not the motherboard.

I bought two of these monitors. I loved the price and the look. The monitor is easy to put on the stand. It is at an angle which is a bit annoying.

Came with a warped plastic screen shroud, but monitor works great, no issues from display

Make absolutely sure you tighten them screws up. Every review complains too much about the wobbly condition, but all i had to do was tighten it super tight. 9/10 would buy again.

A nice monitor

Excellent monitor. Aftet a year of moving it, I was so impressed I bought a second!

Nice upgrade. Turn brightness down a bit on startup like i seen in comments and i have no complaints. If you have a 60hz monitor and looking to upgrade. This is it chief

Amazing in every way, I love this monitor to pieces. The difference between any 60hertz monitor and more than 1ms is astonishing.

Great monitor - base stand is a bit weak / flimsy as the monitor leans to the right (Left if your looking at screen).

I like the margins very small, picture is crisp and high quality, colors are vibrant
