> 3 dayI got this for my son for his birthday. He really likes it compared to his old monitor and the curve of the screen is just right. No dead pixels and the box arrived in good shape. Its been set up for a few days now. He says he can tell a big difference between this one and the old monitor which had a slower refresh rate. Ill revise my review if anything goes wrong but so far everything is great and he (and I ) are very happy with it!

> 3 day100% satisfied with this purchase. I couldnt have gotten a better monitor for the price. Sharp, clear images and vibrant colors even through HDMI from my Xbox. Ive loved gaming on this so far, and I have had a few long sessions without any eye strain.

> 3 dayI had two Acer monitors of this same type prior (from a couple years ago). They were awesome. Plug them into my laptop... viola! I can use them. Sadly, one got knocked over and destroyed by my cat. I was happy to find this seemingly same monitor. I am so, so, so disappointed and frustrated. The monitor either does not sync with my laptop at all, displaying no signal, or it cycles through every possible syncing option causing all of my screens (the other monitor and my laptop) to flash incessantly without ever connecting. I typically waste 5-15 minutes each day as I try to get myself set up. It used to take 5 seconds. If I dare leave my desk long enough for my laptop to go into sleep mode, its another 5-15 minutes of restarts, trying to play with settings, trying to push the buttons on the monitor, etc. I actually do not know what works. It seems completely random. I bought this months ago and was too busy to deal with these issues at the time and traveling a lot, so I simply worked from my laptop alone (without the additional monitors). Now that I am back and have a more stable schedule, I would LOVE to benefit from having three screens, but there are days that I just give up and work with two or my laptop alone. What a disappointment!

> 3 dayFirst monitor came with extensive damage to it which was very dissatisfying. Contacted Amazon and they sent me a replacement within two days. The replacement looks great and I have no complaints about it. Fortnite looks amazing and the 144hz feels so smooth compared to my old 60hz monitor.

Greater than one weekBought it to start WFH. works fine. There are times when my desktop background blacks out (my display driver is probably crashing?) Quick fix is to close all my open windows and restart. Doesnt happen so often if I shut off the monitor when Im not using it, shut off the computer completely when Im not using it. I think this is more a problem of my computer and its power/display than of the monitor.

> 3 dayI was a bit worried about the monitor because of the other reviews, but Ive had it for a month or two at this point and havent had any issues with it so far. My biggest concern with the monitor is that a few reviews were saying the monitor was 120hz at max using an HDMI cable. However, using the HDMI cable included with the monitor on my laptop, I could get all 165hz. Good quality screen, I havent experienced anything weird with the screen. My only issues with the monitor are minor design things I find a bit annoying. The cables stick right out instead of straight down, which means I cant really put it against the wall that well. Another thing is the weird button on the back you have to use to navigate the menu. Not only is it in a weird spot, it sucks to use it. Finally, this monitor doesnt have a speaker, which is fine cause I didnt buy a monitor for the speaker. Unfortunately, it also doesnt have a aux connector thing so you cant plug a speaker directly into the monitor. This isnt such a big deal since Im usually using earphones on my computer, but I also like to connect my switch to this monitor and the switch dock ALSO doesnt have a thing to connect my earphones to, so I dont get any sound while playing on switch. Overall, great monitor with small flaws. I very much recommend it.

> 3 dayPros- Great monitor with a fast refresh rate that has minimal ghosting on regular settings*(Later) Very strong metal stand Super accurate colors compared to my old TN panel The curve feels amazing on the eyes after a small adjustment. I cannot go back to a flat monitor. Has the ability to be SUPER bright. I personally keep mine at only 20%, but holy moly it can get bright Free Sync is absolutely beautiful, i love it so much. Very easy to assemble out of box, and comes with a displayport cable! CONS- EXTREME Ghosting on all settings above (off) in overdrive in the panel settings Sometimes a little too bright in my opinion. Even on minimum, it is pretty bright for nighttime. OTHERS(Not really monitors fault) No vesa mount. I didnt buy it expecting one, but itd be nice considering the competitor has one. I have to run it at 120hz. To explain, When you have a 60hz secondary monitor, you need to have both displays at a multiple of 60hz otherwise there is stuttering on the faster one. When this monitor is at 144hz and a video of any kind runs on my secondary, there is extreme stuttering. Fixed by custom setting this one to 120hz though, works beautifully.

> 3 dayI have been using this monitor for about a year now. I have had to strictly use DVI to use at all. the DP port was completely non-functional out of the box, and I will sometimes have to cycle my PC several times to get the screen to wake. I have used multiple DP cables and none have worked. GPU has also not been the issue.
