Title: Great quality, fantastic price!
Review: I purchased this monitor for my wife to use with her Alienware R17X4 laptop. She had broken a key on her keyboard but also wanted a little larger screen. So, I purchased a wireless keyboard and this monitor. She now uses the powerful Alienware laptop as a desktop with a larger display and a wireless, movable keyboard. She is a very happy camper.Others have commented on the great graphics, thin design, and good quality build for a great price, so I won't repeat those details here. I will however point out a few tips:1. At first, it seems the stand will not tilt. But it does! Grasp the stand firmly and then tilt the monitor back to the desired position. Note it does not tilt forward or side to side, but does tilt back (facing more upwards towards your eyes) which really helps in most settings.2. If you don't get a signal, make sure you plugs the HDMI cable into the "HDMI out" port on your PC, not the "HDMI in" port. Duh. I had mine plugged into the wrong port until I found my reading glasses and saw the problem.3. We changed three settings which you may want to also do if you have a laptop. First, we changed the display settings to choose between "Second screen only", "Duplicate", or "Extend". We chose "Extend" so she can have two documents open at once on the two monitors, her laptop screen and the new monitor. You just drag one document off the edge of the monitor to move it to the other screen.4. Next, we found that closing the laptop, when she only needed one screen, put it into hibernation and shut everything down. We went into Control Panel and changed Power Settings under "What happens when you close the lid". We changed it from "Hibernate" to "Do nothing". Now the laptop keeps running even when the laptop is closed.5. Third, most Windows laptops are configured so you have to drag things off the right edge of your new remote monitor to get them onto the laptop screen. However we wanted her laptop setting to the left of her new monitor, so it was confusing to have to drag something off the right-hand edge of the monitor to get it onto the left-hand screen on the laptop. We went back into display settings, where you can drag the two monitors in the settings to reverse them. Now, she can drag items from the left-hand screen to the right-hand screen by dragging them in that direction, and vice versa. Much more intuitive to use that way.With those changes to the settings, she can open the laptop and use it as two monitors, dragging and dropping documents and apps from one screen to another. When she closes the laptop lid, it reverts to a single monitor (the new Acer) but does not go to sleep. This is perfect for what she needs. She can still power off the monitor when not needed for an extended period. Also, the laptop speakers still work when she turns on the sound even when the laptop is closed.I highly recommend this monitor for anyone wanting a very good quality, cost-effective solution.

Title: Great monitor well worth the price but NO VESA monitor mounts on back
Review: I love these affordable monitors. They look great and provide high-quality output. Looks and works great for web browsing or the most action-packed of games.I have purchased 5 of these over the last year as they have worked so well. Lightweight, nice design, and good quality. I haven't had one fail yet over the last year of use.The only disappointment I had was finding that there was no VESA standard, or any other option on the back of the monitor to attach it to a different monitor stand. I have a multi-monitor stand and hoped to add 2 more monitors but these could not be attached to the monitor mount and they are so thin I see no way of adding one without damaging the monitor.I used one for my 3rd (unmounted monitor) that you see in the pics, 1 for a digital backglass in a virtual pinball machine, and 2 for my gamer son. I have the 5th one in my 'spares' collection just in case.However, even without the VESA mount, these are still a great deal if you just need a nice, flatscreen monitor for a desk that looks great.

Title: Great Product, Great Value
Review: Just received the product and so far very pleased with my purchase. The base is sleek and simple with solid build quality, made for easy assembly without needing instructions. The screen is actually thinner than I expected making it efficient at saving desk space. Itâs adjustable to practically any angle youâd need. Iâm using as a second monitor for work so the picture quality is perfect for my needsâ Iâd imagine youâd need a more advanced device for a good gaming experience though as it could be a touch clearer. Screen glare is minimal, the picture doesnât do it justice to be honest. I work with direct sunlight behind me and do not have issues viewing the screen.

Title: Perfect for my home office, great price. Get a cable though!
Review: So I got it a few hours ago and I already worked with it for an hour; and it is everything I wanted! I will not be using it for gaming but the picture quality is great for my job stuff and the size is perfect too. I didn't want a huge screen, but definitely enough space to fit two windows next to each other to compare data and accuracy. The only thing that was a turn off is that it didn't come with an HDMI to HDMI or HDMI to USBC cable... MAKE SURE YOU BUY A CABLE TO PLUG YOUR LAPTOP if that is what you needed it for. Thankfully my millennial bad habit of never throwing cables out and keeping them in a box "because one day I may need them" absolutely came to the rescue and I ended up reviving that HDMI cable I had from a while ago. Otherwise just grab one with this monitor but what can I say, it was a really good price so truly can't complain. Hope this helps someone on the fence, also if you are looking for a sign to get this monitor use this review as your sign 🙂

Title: Love it!!
Review: Been almost two years and it still works great! I use it for school and my ps5. If you intend to use it for gaming just know that it dosent have speakers so youâd need to buy them separately. Also itâs only 75 hz so you wonât be getting 120 fps for the ps5 but it still looks great. Other than that very solid piece for the price

Review: This monitor really knocked my socks off! I was expecting just another monitor, like my old one. I needed a new one for my wife so I grabbed this. It isn't kidding when they say it is thin. It's very light weight, which doesn't matter to me much. The colour quality is top notch and response is perfect, no blurriness or anything. But what surprised me is that I will sometimes watch videos on it, and when I do, I will move to a livingroom chair I have in the corner to watch it which sits lower. With my old monitor that would make the video much darker and I would have to adjust it so that the monitor was facing almost directly at me to get a good image. With this one, I sat down and the image was just fine without even turning it or angling it down or anything!!! It didn't get darker, very minimal glare on it. The black is nice and black like it should be (with some nice options in the monitor settings to adjust the blackness). It has a ton of settings for the monitor. The refresh rate of 75 is nice. I'm a casual gamer and it is perfect for that, the colours in my game really looked nice. I can't say enough about this, I was FINALLY pleasantly surprised (as opposed to so much I have purchased that didn't work). Well worth the money by far!

Review: Compré este monitor por el simple hecho de que era un 1080p 75hz de Acer. Me sorprendió que estas caracterÃsticas estuviese a sólo 1,700mxn. No esperaba mucho de él, pero en estos tres meses me dio una gran sorpresa.El monitor es increÃblemente liviano y delgado. La fuente de poder es externa, lo que ahorra costos y ayuda a su estética general.Cumple con todo, el full HD, los 75hz, y es IPS ( no he probado el FreeSYNC, no uso AMD)Pros:+Es muy ligero, facilita mucho la limpieza del escritorio y el transporte.+Costo/beneficio, es de los mejores que puedes encontrar, superando a monitores 1080p60hz+Tiene varios perfiles personalizables y puedes alternar entre ellos fácilmente.+Tiene unos 30 grados de inclinación para mejor visualizaciónCons:-La base es de un plástico ligero y barato. Aunque para el peso del monitor, no necesita más.-Por default tiene un filtro verde muy molesto. Pero Se arregla en 10 minutos corrigiendo el color.-Los botones los tiene en la parte inferior, Cuesta algo de trabajo moverse en el menú a ciegas, y el botón de apagado es igual a todos los demás botones.-Tiene unos bordes negros que hacen parecer que no está dando la resolución total, pero te acostumbras fácilmente.Recomiendo ampliamente este monitor 100%.

Review: Este monitor supera en nitidez, saturación y fidelidad de color a muchos monitores 4k y aunque me dolió, se volvio mi monitor principal en cuanto comparé mi monitor con este, Claro que no es la octava maravilla del mundo, los pixeles son lo suficientemente grandes como para verlos si los buscas y la UI tiene sus defectos, pero por el precio es excelente. Es sorprendentemente ligero, en serio es atemorizante como lo puedo mover con una sola mano sin esfuerzo, el espesor es de casi 7 mm, y temÃa que la base fuera demasiado pequeña, pero es firme y se mantiene muy bien en su lugar. Es discreto, tiene buen acabado y se siente mas grande de lo que parece. Si estas relativamente corto de fondos y quieres un monitor extra, o conseguir uno bueno bonito y barato para tu primera PC gamer porque te quedaste sin fondos comprando esa 3090 y la fuente de poder para usarla o no quieres gastar mucho para ahorrar para la 3090 cuando solo pudiste comprar una 2080 TI porque nadie la tiene en stock, este monitor es la opción para ti.
