> 3 dayOK, FIRST of all, I only got this about 2 hours ago, so keep in mind that this IS subject to change. FIRST pros! 1. The ease of use was fine. After hooking it up, I simply hit the on button, the first switch from your right just to the right of and behind the prominent LED. The led is subtle and blue when on. I didnt need to set anything else. 2. It DOES tilt, but it isnt that obvious. Once assembled, you have to push the top of the monitor to tilt it. It should be a little easier, but it is fine. 3. The picture is fine. 4. If you have a VGA monitor, it comes with a cable for it. I got a long hdmi cable to hook it up. 5. The price seems about PERFECT! It seems the smaller ones are not much less, if they are at all, and ones that are slightly larger cost a LOT more, so this seems to be the current sweet spot. And in this range, this particular model is probably about in the center of the price range. The ONE con I had was that I spend so much time looking for a monitor with a good track record, that I slipped up on getting my one nice to have I hoped for, AUDIO. This has no audio, apparently. Otherwise, it is FINE for the moment. I spent a while, and even went to anther company, to make sue the reliability and features were there. Heres hoping I feel the same way 2 years and more from now. The last monitor I got, for another system about 4 years ago, and STILL working well, is a model that isnt made any more, and the related monitors have a lower general rating than I would like, so I picked THIS one. BTW I didnt rate gaming, as I dont play games. I imagine it is about as good as most monitors here.

> 3 dayFor $90, this is the best monitor you will get. I was on a budget and decided to get this monitor as an external display for my laptop, I use it for gaming and everyday use. Pros: - Good size (I wasnt looking for a big monitor) - Fairly thin bezels. They are still a bit thick but arent as bad compared to other monitors. - Decent color accuracy - 75Hz is fairly smooth. There is some ghosting when youre gaming, but if you dont pay too much attention, you wont notice. - Good for gaming. Cons: - Took me a while to calibrate. This monitor does not come out color accurate out of the box. The whites arent always white and blacks arent always black. - Screen bleeding. Being an IPS display, its kind of bound to happen. If you lower the brightness, it wont be so bad (depends on where and how bad your screen bleed is) - No HDMI cord - No built-in speakers

> 3 dayI bought this to use as a second monitor for grad school. It serves its purpose, but Im no sure it would be a good choice for gamers (Im no expert though!). I like being able to work on a bigger screen than my laptop, and its way better for ergonomic purposes. The one think that I dont like is that it is SUPER bright. Im currently using the level 1 of brightness (out of 100), and thats the only level that I can stand. Other than that, its good for the price!

> 3 dayI have purchased this monitor 4 times in the span of 2 years for myself, my sister and my dad. They were around the $90-93 price range. I gotta say, for the price, I am very satisfied with how well its done for me. My family also has no complaints using this monitor with their own PCs. The bottom base of the monitor is super easy to install. No built-in speakers, but if you use external speakers and a headset like me, you dont even need/want them. As I mentioned in the title, these are not VESA-mountable so if youre looking to mount these monitors, look elsewhere. Some of my main games are League, Apex, Monster Hunter: World, Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy XV, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, and Tekken 7. This is a decent range of graphics intensive and non-graphics intensive games. I had zero issues with response times and frame rates. They all run smoothly with my GTX 1060 (as long as you play on medium-ish settings). Sure the colors arent mind-blowing but I dont care at all. I personally think it kicks ass for the price. When it comes to non-gaming stuff, like school or work, theres not really much to ask for other than a monitor that can turn on and work, and this monitor is definitely capable of doing everyday tasks. The 75hz is also very nice. I dont use these monitors anymore as I have upgraded my setup, but I should mention that during the last few months of using these monitors (I had a dual monitor setup), one of the screens randomly goes black every now and then, then turns back on. It can get pretty annoying and can even cost you during crucial moments in-game. Other than that, this monitor was part of my first gaming PC build and I am still very happy for how much it has done for me. A very solid start, whether youre a gamer like me who cant afford an expensive monitor or if you simply need a cheap but good monitor that can get the job done.

> 3 daySolid monitor overall but, as you can see from the picture, quality control for the stand is lacking. The picture compares my perfectly straight LG and this “leaning forward” Acer. As the title says, the LG is 4k and over $400. The Acer is 1080p and under $100. Lack of attention to detail like that is disappointing, especially because they messed up the least costly component and it sort of spoils the whole thing.

> 3 dayBought this after my Asus monitor started to get bad. At first, I had a problem where the image was very yellow, which I noticed when the white Acer logo appeared green. I was not able to fix it on my computer, I had to mess with the monitors RGB Gains, which was aggravating my hand since the controls were on the underside of the monitor. After a couple of days of trouble shooting, I got the whites to an acceptable tone. Occasionally, in areas covered by a flat bright color, such as an image of the sky, I could see the pixels, but it can be overlooked, especially if you are playing a game or watching an action movie.
