Acer XFA240 bmjdpr 24" Gaming G-SYNC Compatible Monitor 1920 x 1080, 144hz Refresh Rate, 1ms Response Time with Height, Pivot, Swivel & Tilt

I initially found this monitor when building my gaming PC. I saw $200 and thought I was compromising. Now, after almost 6 months of heavy use, I know this is no compromise.It does need some color tuning out of the box, but when you do, it looks amazing. The only downside I can find with the image quality is that dark colors aren't differentiated well. It can be hard to see detail in darker games, such as Control or in darker scenes in Modern Warfare.The build quality and stand are phenomenal. The stand telescopes up and down about 6 inches, and also tilts up and down quite a bit. The monitor barely rocks when disturbed. I work from home, using this monitor for 6+ hours a day for work alone, plus an extra hour - 2 hours of gaming a day. This monitor never gives me any issues - no dead pixels, no heat issues, nothing.I've used this with a Mac, Windows PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4. All work flawlessly.Obviously, you can get a better monitor. But for the price, this is such a great monitor, definitely worth the price tag.

Very strong and very well built. Nice looking design that makes it very easy to use.

I absolutely love this monitor, sure it’s not the top of the line and only 1080p but gaming in 4K is expensive.Pros:- 1ms- 144hz- Price- Overall appearance- Sturdy stand- Easy adjustable screenSeriously I had semi low expectations when buying because it was cheaper than some but honestly it’s fantastic I love the stand it doesn’t move or rattle or anything it’s probably the best stand I’ve ever had for a monitor. It has small borders around the screen so it’s not massive and doesn’t take up a lot of space on your desk. Not sure why people say the colors looked washed or whatever to me they looked pretty good I took about 5 minutes messing with the setting and bumped it to 144hz cuz it’s in 60hz standard and it was 100 times better.Cons:- LED power light- SettingsSo when I first got it I couldn’t figure out what was bothering my eye thought maybe I needed to adjust to the 144hz. Figured out that when the screen is adjusted to the top of the stand the power light was like beaming me in the eye, super annoying. Easy fix cover it with a super small piece of duct tape so you can still see it but not right in the eye lol. The settings menu is a bit of a pain in the ass to manage around to changing stuff but honestly I set it once and never touch it again 9/10 so who cares. You have to go into the windows advanced settings to bump it to 144hz and you need a DP cable HDMI I believe can be set to 120hz.In conclusion guys honestly you won’t be dissappointed in this monitor I love it. Does everything I wanted in a monitor and I don’t get eye strain from long sessions of use which is awesome! Also the price makes it even more attractive. For people who gave it 1 star for a white screen, come on shit happens you got a bad unit, they replaced it under warranty, it happens. For real though if you’re like me who has to check 50 different same items trying to decide, just buy this one it’s great!EDIT: 3 years later and still going strong. Best 1080p monitor I've ever bought. Not a single dead pixel, no flashing, still bright af, and it's actually brighter than my Dell DG2716 and the white is more true lol.

Pros: Quality is great, my panel came shipped fine with no dead pixels or anything. 144hz, 1ms, 24inch monitor, with a good amount of adjustment in the stand. Gaming is smooth, super smooth, like "wow this is going to make playing on my Xbox impossible" smooth. This monitor is under 200$ not on sale, I think this will be the best deal for a monitor for a while.Cons: Out of the box the brightness is way high, colors are a bit washed out (like others have mentioned). This can be fixed by spending some time tweaking the settings though, I found setup values on Reddit that have helped but I still need to do some playing around.Okay here comes the one thing I hate about this monitor: switching input on this panel is such a chore. The moment the monitor looses signal from a source it starts cycling through DP, HDMI, DVI, but it doesn't seem to stay on each input long enough to actually detect the display port input source. For example; I have my monitor as a main monitor and a second old panel to the side. The Acer is set up as primary, but I also have my xbox hooked up through HDMI. I'll switch my computer to secondary display only, and turn my xbox on. The Acer cycles through inputs and find the xbox every time. When I turn my Xbox off and on my desktop go back to the extended desktop setting, the monitor will cycle inputs but skip right over the display port even though its hooked up to the PC. I've even had the issue where after I do this "cycle" the PC has a hard time recognizing the Acer display through the Display port, and I have to unplug the Acer from the PC and plug it back in to have it actually recognize and send signal to the monitor. This is annoying. BUT, I paid 200$ for a 144hz 1ms 24 inch monitor, its hard to complain.I paid a discounted price for this monitor, and even though I've been having this small issue I would buy this again for a 1080p build. In the future I'll probably save up a bit more for a second panel that has better input switching, but again if I had the same funds as before and was putting together a complete system on a hard budget even knowing what I know now, I would buy this in a heartbeat.
