Visually: this monitor gives off great bright colors and deep blacks and has good presets already. For someone who has never owned a UHD or QHD monitor, i guess i have nothing to compare to in terms of display. When gaming, i do not experience tearing which is something I did experience with my old ED0 that had 5ms response G to G. This monitor has Overdrive mode so I'm sure that makes things look much better, which is something I hadn't experienced before.
When doing work on a computer and using it as a main display, i am pretty content. I feel that the pixels are less noticeable for some reason so this just goes to show that even with a 6 month manufacturing difference between my old and new model, Acer is working on their models performance and quality even at the mid range level on VA monitors.
Price point- i was actually pretty confused when I purchased this monitor at a cheaper price than my last. The Red Nitro has some 2.5 watt speakers that i honestly can't complain too much about. I tend to game on headset but when I feel like it, the speakers on 80 volume are pretty alright. That's the setting i have them at in the video. These speakers aren't to blast, but more almost to have background noise. Definitely not the best for an immersive experience but for a monitor this is a feature you can't really find at this price point.
So for this Nitro to be $160, have speakers, overdrive mode, and be 1ms VRS, have a strong beautiful red stand, Height/Tilt adjustment and 165hz FHD? THIS IS A STEAL. If your kid or even yourself, wanna upgrade to a slightly bigger monitor and have a flexible, resourceful monitor for any occasion, this is THE ONE.
Also- i honestly went on a whim buying this monitor because there are not many reviews out there on this particular version. So i wanted to make it known this is an affordable monitor that makes some great competition.
Con- I wish they made the monitor settings more user-friendly. The buttons are at such a weird angle, and really takes concentration to adjust to your likings.
I personally feel like those speakers could use some tweaking but I get that it's a budget monitor.
UPDATE: I've been having a problem when gaming where the screen will go black. It'll go black for about 6 seconds and then come back. It hasn't gotten me killed yet in game play, but it happens at the worst times.
9.5/10 for it's price point. Updated review is maybe a 8/10 cause for a gamer this black screen can be a headache.
