Acer FHD 165Hz 300nits Brightness AMD Free Sync 2 x HDMI 2.0 Display Port LCD Gaming Monitor (Model - KG241QS) - Black, 59.94 cm - 1920 x 1080 Pixels

OK this Monitor has model number KG241QS and there is similar monitor i mean exactly similar with model number KG241QP. Only the difference is that QS is a factory overclocked monitor.Here i will tell you everything about KG241QS which has 165hz refresh rate and 0.5ms response time. the similar KG241QP has 144hz refresh rate and 1ms response time.I have owned IPS panel monitor from LG ( 22mp68vq ) and before this monitor i owned Asus (VG258QE) that was a TN panel Monitor. I recently bought this monitor to actually check whats the difference in 25000rs tn panel and 12000rs tn panel. and when i received this monitor i compared it with side to side with Asus monitor and the difference between two was literally 0%. And comparing this with ips monitor i.e is LG there was a very unnoticable color difference which you will never even notice except white looking a very little yellowish type. And by very little i really mean very little.I am just writing such big review for you guys to just tell you dont waste your money on pricier TN panels you wont notice even a bit of difference. I am loving this monitor gaming is heaven in this monitor so if you are planning to upgrade your monitor buy this use this n i can assure you that i will not be disappointed if you have used IPS panel before. if you want to invest your money invest it in either getting a 2k or get yourself a beast graphic card.I am here mentioning the perfect OSD setting for both 144hz and 165hz models you will get best colors out of it.Brightness - 55contrast - 40black boost - 06gamma - 2.4blue light - offACM - offSuper sharpness - offcolor temp - normaloverdrive - normalfreesync - onVRB - off

Well i was holding my purchase for past 3 months for 144Hz monitor and finally pulled trigger on 5th March 2020.And i must say 60Hz users please get 144Hz if you can already .I am not gonna devide this into just pros and cons as it completely neglactes whole user experience i have so you have to read everything.First things first let's get the facts out of the way-1) It is 144 Hz and 165 Hz out of the box; whichever mode can be set with windows or Nvidia Control Panel.2) Enable AMD FreeSync from OSD then you can set Vsync then Gsync easily on both Hz without any issues. (To enable Vsync is not necessary)So i don't think much is needed to say for gamer at least as this is purely meant for gaming. Colours are accurate out of the box. One can down Green slider from OSD a little bit(48) to make it more accurate otherwise it's fine. Even for movie,too. there are 4 modes in OSD and 3 for gaming.Lastpicture in my review has ACER 165 on left and BenQ VZ2350H on right. I don't have any complain on either one but look at the acer sometime just giving more vibrant and still warmer colours...this is personal preference and one might like BenQ one but i would go with Acer as it is easy on eyes. And moreover u can tweak this easily form RGB menu,2 gamma presets -1.8,2.2 and 2.4 and colour temperature setting but don't do it randomely...find a scale first to measure.I mainly play Rocket League and PUBG lite online and I tried Witcher 3 offline. 165Hz always and no ghosting or trailing effect. Resident Evil and Tomb Raider players...sorry i can't test that deep. Your user experience may very from mine. The monitor works flawless for even 6-7 hours straight.No issues in reading text but it stil looks pixelated from 60 c.m. distance. But for images and movies it's just doing fine.Ok...so why get something better if u can? Because this is TN panel and it's gonna show it's symptoms from time to time. As i have to seat in level of the display. Watch slightly from more height or more low it will affect sky and white colours resulting in washed out colour and black shadow respectively. On normal windows usage this is a issue because there is a Green tint all over the place when u see it from angle. But but but here me out; you are not gonna watch form that angle and operate your pc...U can still watch a movie from that angle and it is just showing good expected colours.For gaming this is great value for 12499 INR as this justify every feature it comes with. One might wonder why i didn't talk about 0.5 ms response time but it's marketing gimmick anyway in every gaming monitor and one have to measure actual GTG response time and i don't have that tool. For me it's just fine on 144Hz and 165Hz.U can get Acer's 144hz IPS variant but for gaming this is just fine for 60Hz to 144Hz upgrade. Sorry if i left something u wanted to hear but i don't have any issue about black level or anything. Backlight bleed? I have picture attached and it's equal on whole panel but on camera it looks somewhat bad.In reality it's perfectly fine if u watch it from straight. Any other questions feel free to ask here. I will replay and test if i can.

I was lucky to have got this for 11,915 INR. I knew AS SOON AS I order it, the price would go up.Now let's talk about the performance of this monitor. Coming from a 4K monitor, it took me a while to get used to the 1080p resolution of this monitor. The brightness is far too much for me. Even after I turned Brightness and Contrast to Zero, it was still far too bright for me. Other than that, I think it's a good deal at 11,915 INR.

PLease do not fall for the outside cover which claims normal refresh rate at 144hz and overclock 165hz. In reality, when checked from system, it shows 119hz and 137 as normal and overclock refresh respectively. Absolutely shameful marketing from acer and being sold by amazon.

I purchased this monitor Rs 13840The monitor is really great and really awesomeNow let's cut the chase and come to the pro and consPros1.The display quality is really better if we compare with some Ips panels2.178 view angle I consider at 1703. respond this is accurate4. Its totally on matte finish and near to bezel less design5. For started just go to display setting and change from 59 or 60 hz to 144hz or 165 defends upon your flavorCons1. The stand is really good with glossy black bottom part with matte finish red But shaking you table make you monitor a little bit shaker2. Color calibration is not done so do as for your flavorSo these are my thoughts on this monitor I hope this will really help all of you those who want to purchase for gamingHAPPY GAMING
