5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding monitor for gamers
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2024
I recently upgraded to the Acer Nitro Gaming Monitor, and it has exceeded all my expectations. The display is absolutely stunning—the 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make gameplay incredibly smooth and responsive, which is exactly what I need for fast-paced games like FPS and racing. The visuals are sharp, with vibrant colors and deep contrasts, thanks to its full HD resolution and excellent color accuracy.

The monitor's FreeSync technology works flawlessly with my setup, eliminating screen tearing and lag for a seamless gaming experience. The design is sleek and modern, with adjustable height and tilt options that make it comfortable to use during long gaming sessions.

One thing I really appreciate is how easy it is to set up. The menu navigation is straightforward, and you can customize the settings to match your gaming preferences.

For the price, the Acer Nitro offers unbeatable performance. Whether you're a casual gamer or a competitive one, this monitor delivers excellent value for both gaming and general use. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to upgrade their setup!

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2024
I recently purchased this monitor, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. One of its standout features is the impressive 165Hz refresh rate, as advertised. This high refresh rate contributes significantly to the overall smoothness of the display, providing a delightful gaming and viewing experience.

The build quality of the monitor is another aspect that caught my attention. It doesn't feel cheap or flimsy and instead, it exudes a sense of sturdiness and durability. The design is sleek and modern, adding an aesthetic appeal to my setup. The attention to detail in the construction is evident, making it a visually pleasing addition to any desk.

One feature that truly enhances the visual experience is the HDR capability. I found the HDR performance to be excellent, both in games and while watching movies. The colors are vibrant, and the contrast is impressive, adding depth and realism to the content. This feature significantly enhances the overall viewing pleasure, making it a great choice for multimedia enthusiasts.

In terms of gaming, the combination of the high refresh rate and HDR support makes this monitor a fantastic choice for gaming enthusiasts. Fast-paced games feel incredibly smooth, and the improved color reproduction adds to the immersive gaming experience. I appreciate the attention given to creating a monitor that not only meets but exceeds expectations when it comes to gaming performance.

Considering the performance and features offered, the price of this monitor is quite reasonable. It strikes a good balance between affordability and high-end features, making it a cost-effective choice for users who want a top-notch display without breaking the bank. I would confidently recommend this monitor to anyone looking for a reliable and feature-rich display at an affordable price point.

To sum up, the 165Hz refresh rate, robust build quality, impressive HDR performance, and reasonable pricing make this monitor a standout option in its category. It has certainly exceeded my expectations, and I am thoroughly satisfied with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1080p in 180Hz refresh. Splendor!
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2024
Bought this for Helldivers 2.
Pros: Beautiful, cost effective. 24", 1080p, 180Hz refresh. Looks great to me. Helldivers 2 looks fantastic, glad I upgraded from my 60Hz 22" screen. has VESA mounts if you need them. Fraction of the cost of an equal quality 4k gaming screen.

Cons:
1. Not 4k.
2. Build quality is flimsy for a monitor. I can slightly flex it by adjusting the tilt on it, has not damaged the screen. Despite this, it is good enough to use for the daily, but I wouldn't travel with it unless it was wrapped in bubble wrap and/or a sturdy case.
3. It defaulted to 60Hz refresh out of the box. Took about 1.5 hours of tweaking over two days to get the settings right. No real instructions on how to get the 180Hz refresh working properly. For a few hours I had major ghosting issues, but that was a setting I had over-tweaked. Once I found the right settings, it has been fantastic. I may have over-complicated the setup.

Thoughts: Great screen, light duty build. I'd buy it again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent monitor
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2024
I mainly purchased this monitor because it seemed easier on my eyes than some other LED-lit monitors I tested. Still not as good as an older CCFL but not awful either. The coating is somewhat annoying as there's a slight blurriness and grey/blue glare with off viewing angles due to it. I'm not sure if that's due to VA tech or Acer's choice for coating.

There is no PWM flickering at all. The settings menu has a very thorough set of options which I appreciate including Hue and Saturation, Gamma, Brightness, Contrast, Blue Light Filter Mode and Overdrive. There's little difference between Overdrive Off and Standard but a large difference with Extreme mode, which does provide great clarity but with clearly visible overshoot artifacts for moving edges.

Some of the default settings are not ideal. If Nvidia Control Panel is set to default settings or set to Limited range, black boost should be set to 0 instead of the default 5, but it should be left at 5 if you manually change the Nvidia setting to Full range. Gamma should be set to 2.4 to achieve actual 2.2 gamma. Low Blue Light should be set to level 1 to not go higher than 6500K color temperature. Level 2 is still close enough to 6500K to be usable while also being easier on the eyes. The low blue light setting does seem to change the black/near black color temperature which is good if you are concerned about blue light from the LED backlight.

Not a bad purchase for $100 I just wish we had CCFL color temperature backlights again or cheap OLED monitors.
