EDIT 1: Speakers do not work with mine. I dont personally care, I hate Acers monitor speakers, but that will bother other people Im positive. This wouldve been a 4-star monitor otherwise. Edit 2: When Freesync is enabled, flickering occasionally occurs. Black, vertical lines move up/down the screen super flash periodically. Started occuring about a month in. Pros: + Curved design isnt overwhelming. + Good colors (after optimization) + 144hz is astounding compared to my previous 60hz and 75hz monitors. + Decent physical size + Extremely sleek design Cons: - Horrible color and lighting out of the box. Requires a lot of fine-tuning, but can look great. (Some setup help after cons) - Stand is subpar. Screen wobbles consistently while typing. - Inputs are in an odd place on the back of the monitor. Cords stick outwards instead of downwards like most other monitors. - No place for cable management on the stand. Extras: In order to get the best out of this monitor, you have to turn off the following settings: - Black Boost (In Picture) - Super Sharpness (In Picture) - Over Drive (in Gaming) The rest is up to your discretion. I will be updating this review if, like others, have issues with dead pixels, screen flickering, etc. So far, Ive not experienced either.
