I bought two of these for a dual monitor setup. Unfortunately there are no instructions on installing the base of the monitor. The Quick Guide states that The monitor base is attached onto the monitor before shipment and it is undetachable. This is clearly false as nothing is attached to the monitor. Rather, there are two pieces included: A round base and a middle bracket. Attaching the middle bracket to the round base was easy to figure out. However, attaching the middle bracket to the monitor was not easy. On the first monitor, we tried different things and none worked. We then thought the base is pressure mounted so we tried to push it straight into the back of the monitor, and that broke two plastic tabs on the brand new monitor! On the second monitor we were more careful. After a few more tries, we discovered that you need to angel the middle bracket into the back of the monitor and then lift up for it to attach. If you do it right, it will work easily and quickly. If you find yourself forcing it in, then you are doing it wrong! Acer could make this easier for its clients by including installation instructions. Other than the above, its a nice monitor. I have a VGA and HDMI outputs on my computer so I used the VGA to connect to one and a 6 ft HDMI cable for the other monitor: TIP: If you need to use the HDMI port like I did, order the HDMI cable with the monitor as it is NOT included. They might have included it in the past as some of the reviews says it is included, but it sure was not included with the two monitors I ordered in Jan of 2019. Also, it seems there are two versions of this monitor: one with speakers and one without. The latter is more expensive. I choose the version without speakers as I already have external ones.

Straight up: These are not great monitors. But for $100 each? Well, theyre pretty great monitors. Thus my headline. Cost effective is what these monitors are. The picture is a bit on the washed out end of the spectrum and maybe a tiny bit grainy. If youre a gamer, dont even consider thinking about buying these. But if, like me, youre using them in an office setting, theyre just fine. The monitors have virtually no physical adjustment. What Im especially missing is height; I think they sit at least 6 too low for proper ergonomics. I was able to solve this with the tried and true stack of printer paper method. Again, perfectly fine in an average office setting and maybe not so great in your Gamer Man Cave or whatever. Finally, consider that these are fairly low-resolution by todays standards. Again -- office work vs. gaming, watching a movie, or whatever. These things work fine. Setup was a breeze, they do what theyre supposed to do, and I dont regret my purchase one bit. If they were more expensive Id start pulling off more stars, but theyre quite cheap and well worth the tiny investment. If all you need are simple office monitors, you can certainly do worse than these. Just go order yourself a few reams of printer paper to go along with them.

This was replacement for an older Lenovo monitor that I have been using for years. The power button stopped working as well as the button to enter the settings. This was a little bigger that what I had but the difference in the picture and brightness is a night and day difference!

Bought this as a secondary monitor for my laptop at my home office. This monitor for the price is amazing. I’m going to buy a second one for a triple monitor set up at some point. My wife tried to steal for her laptop on her desk for a second monitor for her podcasts instead of using my old 2009 LG 22 widescreen. I love having a large 2nd monitor when working on spreadsheets and other documents. I have watched some videos on it and played some computer games using it. A little latency and ghosting, but light years ahead of old monitor.

Perfect for working at home

está bien en todos los sentidos.

I picked this up for my new Asus ROG Oculus Rift system. I knew Id want something for others to see what the person in the Rift was viewing, as well as a way to use the computer outside of the Rift. I took a star off of it for how the inputs in the back of this come out at a right angle to the screen - meaning it has to stick out a way from a wall, you cant snug it up close to that or a cubicle wall. Also, supposedly there are speakers, but since I use this for an Oculus Rift, and that requires the HDMI port on my GT980 video card, I cant use an input that includes audio. And there is no Aux input to use a 1/8 stereo plug to connect it to the sound card. Other than that, I like it. Powers on pretty quickly, the base doesnt use much space, and the picture is really bright, really crisp, without having to be in torch mode to achieve it. I love the colors and the clarity. For the price, its worth it.

Not much in this area on reviews on this monitor, so just want to say I plugged it in, Powered up my MacMini and was amazed. I can see details in the shadows in brightly lit pictures. The colors are vibrant. There is a headphone jack on the back so I guess it has sound, my speakers are plugged into my computer. I did use a HDMI cable to connect, but it did come with a vga cable included. I didnt know what I was missing. This is the 23.8 version and for the money, I feel I got a great buy. I am a cheapo about some items and I dont get carried away on monitors. Ever. So, for the money, this is a really good buy. Hmmmm, now to figure out how to turn down the brightness a bit. ADDITION: So Ive been using this for a couple of days now. I work from home and use a computer to accomplish my job. I had no idea how much I was missing. First of all, I figured out how to turn down the brightness, and it wasnt rocket science but secondly the picture and text are so clear, vibrant, easy to read, rich, a pleasure to view... what else can I say about viewing stuff on a computer that I saw every day but without the detail that I can see now. Wow, I was missing a lot and didnt even know it. Yeah, Im liking this a lot. I know its new and have no clue how long it will last, but Im happy for now.

Pleasantly surprised by this monitor. Ordered 2. Wish they had a dual mount for it

The monitor is nice but the stand is big and not adjustable. It takes up quite a bit of desk space in front of the monitor.
