For the price, this will do.
The color is good, the monitors processes video signal quickly and the base makes for quick, easy adjustments up and down and also swivel side to side.
I'm using this as monitor, feeding from my laptop, a Macbook Pro M3 Max.
The only thing I can complain about is the sound quality. It's honestly quite poor, as there appears to be little to no bass. But, for a monitor of this size and price, I can't complain or expect anything too miraculous.
For my application, it's working quite well.
High quality, powered speaker sets are available at very reasonable prices, so if needed, I'll just purchase a set.
I purchased this for using Fusion 360, so sound isn't exactly an issue and currently I'm in no way a gamer. Thankfully MacBooks have really nice speakers.
All in all, great monitor. Funny though, I always thought bigger is better, but this monitor when using a design program is probably the max size most would find reasonable comfortable to use, at least without moving your head side to side far too often.

Nice monitor, good color, but the speakers are very, very poor quality. Still, we can live with it.

Great Specs but little "get started" info

It comes with something called a "User Guide", which is a 5"x8" pamphlet with only a half page of useful information, which I have posted here. There is no "getting started" sheet, so the user is on his/her own about how to get this thing going. This monitor has only 3 video inputs: HDMI, VGA, and DP (Display Port -- better than HDMI for 4K resolutions). Your computer may not have a DP output. Most users will use HDMI. A good high speed HDMI cable is included in the package.
My difficulty was in getting this monitor going. For an hour or more I thought it was DOA (dead on arrival). Just before requesting a return, I read somewhere that it had an OSD (on screen display). After searching, I found the controls at the bottom right on the back of the monitor. I pressed one of the buttons and presto, part of the monitor screen came to life from the formerly "dead" screen to display the OSD. There I found that the input to the monitor could be selected. Why it wasn't shipped with the auto-select enabled I don't know. I selected HDMI which is what I was using and most users use. Once I did this the entire screen came to life.
In the upper right corner of the monitor, the display rate is displayed in large yellow numbers that cannot be covered over by a window. Many new users like myself will be puzzled as to what this means. For example, my monitor is showing "60". After some research, I learned that this refers to the refresh rate (60 times per second). My current task is to get this monitor to display at its advertised 100Hz refresh rate.
So bottom line this is a monitor that has great specs but requires a user to be familiar with settings and get this monitor up and running. There is practically no information included about how to do this. I have attached the pertinent page of the "user guide" so that prospective buyers can see what they are getting. The "external control" at the bottom of the user guide refers to the OSD buttons at the bottom right on the backside of the monitor. The functioning of these buttons requires some getting used to. Good luck.
Update: after much time and research, I have learned how to update the refresh rate. The standard refresh rate of monitors is 60Hz, meaning the display refreshes 60 times a second. This monitor and other quality monitors offer a higher refresh rate. The Acer can refresh at 100Hz. But how to change and adjust it? The secret is to go to the display settings in your computer. Right click on a blank area of your screen (outside the open windows)
