Overview
An IPS panel gives this Acer monitor accurate color and wide viewing angles, inside a near bezel-less frame. Adaptive-Sync matches its refresh to the graphics card to reduce tearing.
Smoother scrolling and accurate color make office work and light gaming more comfortable. Inputs are limited to HDMI and VGA, which rules out DisplayPort setups.
Who it's for
Spreadsheets, browsing and casual games in a home or office are its territory, and the thin bezels suit side by side setups. Users who need height adjustment or USB-C should look further.
Pros and cons
- IPS color and viewing angles
- Thin bezels for multi-monitor rows
- VGA for older computers
- Flicker-free and blue light filter
- Stand tilts only
- Weight not listed
Performance notes
Motion smoothness depends on the source reaching the higher refresh rate, which most current graphics output can do at full HD. The IPS panel holds color when viewed from an angle.
