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 would not recommend this monitor unless you are pressed to buy it and wont have a 144hz monitor for any other price. So, I bought this 144hz monitor for my new computer that I built. This monitor has poor picture quality, bad colors, connection issues, and bad brightness. Its not good. However, it is 144hz. So thats nice. Another bad thing is that, in three months from purchase, it got a vertical red line down the screen. Vertical red lines are connection issues that are nearly impossible to cause on your own and impossible to fix without removing the panel. I did not hit the monitor or do any moving when it appeared. I simply was browsing the internet. They said this damage was under warranty. I sent the monitor in for the vertical red line and it was fixed within a week and a half. However, it cost me 23 dollars and my time! I also noted that the monitor had other issues (including connection issues), which they did not fix. The only thing that was fixed was the red vertical line. I want my 23 dollars back! Again, I would not recommend this monitor. It sucks and Acer kind of sucks. At least they paid for the shipping label!

This Monitor is fantastic. The only gripes that I have with it is when it comes out of the box and sound. When you turn it on for the first time the colors seem really washed out and you do have to play with the settings to fix it. That along with the speakers being on the weaker side, Though I didnt expect to live out of the monitors speakers, it was very underwhelming to hear sound come through the speaker. Other than those two, its a fantastic monitor.

monitor is great for the price. very clear and i love the adjustable height

For 165hz and such a low price, its a great monitor. This is my entry into higher refresh rate gaming monitors and I love it. No more dying due to slow refresh rate or input lag. Finally I can lose just because Im bad

I absolutely love this monitor, sure it’s not the top of the line and only 1080p but gaming in 4K is expensive. Pros: - 1ms - 144hz - Price - Overall appearance - Sturdy stand - Easy adjustable screen Seriously I had semi low expectations when buying because it was cheaper than some but honestly it’s fantastic I love the stand it doesn’t move or rattle or anything it’s probably the best stand I’ve ever had for a monitor. It has small borders around the screen so it’s not massive and doesn’t take up a lot of space on your desk. Not sure why people say the colors looked washed or whatever to me they looked pretty good I took about 5 minutes messing with the setting and bumped it to 144hz cuz it’s in 60hz standard and it was 100 times better. Cons: - LED power light - Settings So when I first got it I couldn’t figure out what was bothering my eye thought maybe I needed to adjust to the 144hz. Figured out that when the screen is adjusted to the top of the stand the power light was like beaming me in the eye, super annoying. Easy fix cover it with a super small piece of duct tape so you can still see it but not right in the eye lol. The settings menu is a bit of a pain in the ass to manage around to changing stuff but honestly I set it once and never touch it again 9/10 so who cares. You have to go into the windows advanced settings to bump it to 144hz and you need a DP cable HDMI I believe can be set to 120hz. In conclusion guys honestly you won’t be dissappointed in this monitor I love it. Does everything I wanted in a monitor and I don’t get eye strain from long sessions of use which is awesome! Also the price makes it even more attractive. For people who gave it 1 star for a white screen, come on shit happens you got a bad unit, they replaced it under warranty, it happens. For real though if you’re like me who has to check 50 different same items trying to decide, just buy this one it’s great! EDIT: 3 years later and still going strong. Best 1080p monitor Ive ever bought. Not a single dead pixel, no flashing, still bright af, and its actually brighter than my Dell DG2716 and the white is more true lol.

Sorry for the messy photo, but my cables were all organized until Acer support wanted me to try different cables to try and fix this white screen. Just bought this product 8/6/2019, and Im writing this as of 8/11/2019. I was only able to use it for 5 days and when I got home, excitedly turned on the computer, started playing my game, and suddenly, just a blank....white.....screen. Called Amazon Tech Support, and looks like they knew right away the issue, dead LCD. They recommended to either contact Acer Warranty for a replacement, or just do a return. I attempted to file a warranty claim with Acer using their website. I was able to fill in all the details, hit the last checkbox, and when I hit NEXT, it doesnt let me through. Maybe its because Im using Safari, so I tried Firefox, still the same thing. But hey, maybe their website is not optimized for Mac, lets try my Windows laptop. Still the same thing. Now Im pissed. Lets try calling their 24/7 Tech Support, which made me do the steps which I already told from the start that I already did prior to calling, but okay, I guess you wanna make sure. Here comes the fun part, I will be shipping the monitor to Texas, and any damage incurred during shipping will void the freakin warranty. GREAT! WHAT COULD GO WRONG DURING SHIPPING RIGHT? Oh, and dont forget, it takes 7-10 business days for them to check it out, and thats starting from when they receive the monitor. Good thing I still have the box because for sure, its way faster to return this piece of crap to Amazon and order a non-ACER one and it will take me less than a week to receive it. RANT OVER, NOW HERE COMES THE REVIEW FOR THE 5 DAYS I WAS ABLE TO ENJOY IT. Pros: - Jumping from 60Hz to 144Hz is something else. Once you go 144Hz, you cant go back to 60Hz. Everything is buttery smooth on my games in Ultra. I never knew watching yourself hover your mouse on the screen would be satisfying. - Comes with a Display Port cable, so you dont have to buy one. - The swivel, tilt, height adjustable mount is interesting. Very easy to work with. Youll have to see for yourself to know what I mean. - Box is really solid. I feel like if I kick it with the monitor inside, it wont break. Im pretty sure our folks on the Amazon warehouse already threw this thing multiple times but it still survived without any major defects on the box. Cons: - Very unfriendly UI on the settings of the monitor. Its a chore to actually adjust stuff, and the settings that you get are hard to navigate at. - Its a TN screen, so if youre coming from an IPS display, its not a pretty sight. Some of the stuff on the screen actually is blurred if its text, but with any graphic programs, really works well. - I didnt notice any response delay difference between my 60Hz Dell IPS monitor vs this monitor. Both of them seem to have barely noticeable response times, but maybe its because I only play MMOs and not shooters. - Broke down on me on the 6th day. White screen of death. Im glad that those who got working ones are enjoying their monitors. Sadly for me, thats not the case.

The first couple of weeks for this monitor was 4 stars. Decent picture quality that required a lot of settings tweaking to get looking right, 144hz was great compared to my old 60hz monitors and a good range of motion. However after a couple of weeks, I started seeing issues. About 50% of the time that my computer and both monitors went to sleep, the monitors would not wake up with the computer. I would get a No Signal message when using the Display Port. The only fix was force restarting my machine. A fix for this was turning off the monitors and flipping the power switch on the back off, but if I ever forgot to do this it had a chance of not waking up from sleep. The G-Sync on the monitor caused flickering when using it in games. The only fix was turning it off completely. About a week later, one of the two monitors started flickering whenever I would move my mouse. I didnt notice it while gaming, but most other apps would be clearly flickering slightly. At that point I just decided the headache of trying to troubleshoot this wasnt worth it and I returned them and replaced them with two ASUS VG248QG 24 165hz monitors. The price is almost the same and Ive had 0 issues with them as opposed to these. I really wanted to like these, but once the issues started it wasnt worth fixing them

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.

Got this for $200 bucks and was well worth it. Returned my Sceptre Freesync monitor for this and was well worth the trade. The G-Sync compatibility actually works (people need to do their research and realize that this is FreeSync monitor that has G-Sync capabilities which is certified by Nvidia themselves) Picture quality is sharp and monitor looks like a bulky monster which I love. The stand is really big, but amazing for versatility of turning the monitor wherever you want (even vertically). Only downside is the weird default color/contrast. Theyre a bit weird with this monitor and needs lots of tweaking to your liking with the OSD settings. I also wish that this was edgeless, but its whatever. NOTE: You will need a flathead to screw in one of the stand pieces, they DO NOT give you one to setup the monitor so you will need your own. EDIT - April 2021... for the past two months or so Ive been having a stuck pickle popping in out and every once in the same area every once in a while... which can get annoying.

For the price, This is a great gaming monitor. Ultimately I am very pleased with this monitor, despite a few shortcomings. (At the end of this review, I have shared settings that are widely shared across the web for better picture quality.) Ill start off with the few things I DONT like first. The Menu Buttons, I hate them. 6 rectangular buttons in a row on the bottom right of the monitor. I would prefer a joystick style. The Color, Horrible out of the box. Very bright, Very washed out. But very Fixable. The rest is all positive. My argument against the things I dont like will simply be For the Price, You cant Beat it. I paid $189.99 for this XFA240 monitor. For under $200 dollars, you wont be able to find a better monitor. Especially one with 144hz and 1ms response time. Performance wise, this monitor is a beast. This is my first 144hz gaming monitor, and you can literally feel the difference. I play mainly FPS games and in my 100% honest opinion, I believe monitor has enhanced my game-play. Those small precise movements, Split second twitch shots, Quick peaks from cover, ect. All start to feel...Right. I would definitely recommend this monitor if you can get past the wonky Menu Buttons, And washed out picture out of the box. Again, with some tweaking to the settings this monitor will perform fine. Again, Remember this is a sub $200 GAMING monitor. Its not going to compete with the big name monitors that easily cost $200-$400 more than this one. So it does have its short comings. But, For the Price...You cant beat it! Recommended Settings. This is a good base line, you may prefer to add a few more tweaks.
