Great monitor, but has a flaw

I bought two of these monitors a few weeks ago and they’ve been pretty great so far (aside from one issue which is described below).The best part in my opinion is the the thin bezel which is accurately depicted in the pictures above. In case anyone was wondering, the bezel (including the part of the screen that doesn’t display any picture) is about ¹⁄₄” (⁷⁄₃₂” to be precise).I was worried about the base not being stable when I bought the monitors, but the monitors are actually surprisingly stable.The main reason I’m writing this review is to warn people about the backlight bleeding that is present on both of the monitors I received. The pattern of the backlight bleeding is exactly the same on both of the monitors, which leads me to believe that I didn’t just get unlucky. Under normal circumstances, the image quality is great. However, if there’s a dark image on the screen and I’m in a dark room (when watching a movie for example), the backlight bleeding is very apparent on the two upper corners of the screens. This isn’t a huge issue for me since I usually have a light on in the room, but I’m sure it might bother some people. This seems like a pretty common issue on budget IPS monitors, so I wouldn’t rule this monitor out unless you find a monitor that you know for sure doesn’t have this same issue.

Best display I’ve ever purchased

I purchased 2 of these a few weeks ago and have enjoying the hell out of them ever since. The slim bezel was a big selling point for me. They look amazing side by side.-Pros–Unbeatable price/value for a full 1080P monitor.-Wonderful picture. LED lit makes images come to life.-Easily calibrated or adjusted.-Matte finish reduces any background light glare. Looks great with room lights on or off.-Lightweight (only 6 lbs).-Best response time out of any IPS panel display I’ve seen (only 4 ms)-Very sturdy base.-High viewing angles.-3 different input ports makes this a dream for compatibility.-No backlight bleeding(a common problem with some displays)-No assembly, the monitor just slides on to the base and clicks in place. I set up 2 of these in less than 5 minutes.-Packaged very well.-Includes VGA cable, which I though I was going to have to purchase separately.-Cons-Not VESA mount compatible. (I knew this before I bought them. Didn’t have plans to mount them anyway.)I will be purchasing a 3rd to add to my workstation soon. (see picture)

VERY GOOD MONITOR FOR ITS PRICE AND NO BACK LIGHT BLEEDING!!!!

This is a very good monitor for its price! I upgraded from a previous monitor that came with my Dell Inspiron that had Windows Vista LOL!. Very Old. Anyways my reason for upgrading:1) Using it as an external monitor for my macbook pro for college work.2) It connects to my xbox one s very nicely. Battlefield 1 and titan fall 2 looks awesome in this (in my opinion)BEFORE YOU BUY YOU MUST KNOW:1) the monitor does not tilt up or down.2) monitor does not rise in height and visa versa.3) the monitor does no rotateTo me this isn’t a problem since my monitor is sitting on a monitor riser. However, if you are nit picky about this type of stuff, i recommend you look else where and compare!OVERALL THOUGHTS:1) set up is very easy! can be done in 5 minutes. Simply connect the circle base to the back of the monitor screen and you are done!Its a awesome monitor for its price!!

Good monitor, Acer, as well as other monitor manufacturer’s need to improve quality control.

Let me just start by saying this monitor in terms of price and image quality is very good. It’s got nice viewing angles, a bright/vivid picture with nice colors, all three display ports/audio jack etc… it’s a matte finish too which is great for people who have keyboards that light up as it won’t reflect onto the monitor itself like my last Acer H236HL did with the glossy mirror finish.That being said, this is my 3rd Acer monitor in a row that has shipped with exactly one dead pixel somewhere on the screen. The first one, an Acer H236HL from Best Buy, came with a dead pixel on the upper left of the screen and since I purchased that at Best Buy, I was out of the 14 day return window. I then decided to give Acer a second shot with this R240HY model since it hit all the check points I was currently looking for a monitor mentioned above as the glossy screen of the H236HL was a big hindrance in any area with light coming in. After a day of using it I did a dead pixel test against red, green, blue, white and black backgrounds and against blue backgrounds it had a dead pixel right near the center of the screen. As usual Amazon was great with the replacement without hassle. Unfortunately my second monitor came with a defect on the upper left. A black dot was now present on the upper left of my screen across all colored backgrounds. I contacted Amazon and they’ve offered me a refund but no further replacement which is still great service by them as this is completely on Acer and not them.I really liked this monitor overall but I can’t let a 3rd dead pixel in a row slide from the same manufacturer and will probably have to look for alternatives. Unfortunately a lot of people easily overlook a dead pixel or two, or simply never notice them but I find even one dead pixel a complete failure on the manufacturer’s part and I will inspect every background on a newly purchased monitor. Note: if you go through Acer RMA, they consider 10 dead pixels acceptable on 1080P screens and 16 acceptable on 2K screens, so keep that in mind when shopping with them.In conclusion, it’s a shame because I really wanted to keep this monitor as the image quality for the price is superb, but it’s pretty obvious where they cut corners to keep the prices down. I urge all of you to do a simple dead pixel test online after a few days of owning a new monitor as you’re entitled to a brand new product without manufacturing defects.
