Excellent deal, monitor is one of the best in the 1080p 144hz IPS category. Can be overclocked to 165 with DisplayPort, full ergonomic support. EXCELLENT response times and input lag, check out the RTINGS review, they rate this monitor very highly.

HDMI 2.0 supports 1080p 144hz. It may also support VRR at that resolution/refresh rate. Hdmi 2.1 is a spec for 4k 120hz, since this is a 1080p monitor HDMI 2.1 isn't necessary

Can only purchase 3 at a time. Was thinking of buying 4 for a split 4 panel display. Would this work for gaming and day trading purposes? I have Microsoft flight simulator.

This one vs VP249QGR

Acer(this monitor) has an adjustable stand (tilt and pivot), but VP249QGR has a standard cheap stand.
Acer has faster ms and 165hz (OC).
Even though the Acer monitor has better options, it's $63 cheaper than Asus ($213 on Amazon as the best price recorded by Honey app.
They cannot be comparable.

To get 120hz on ps5, you need to go into the ps5 settings first. Go to saved game data/ app settings and then go to game presets. Change priority from resolution to framerate. Restart ps5. This will allow all 120hz games to be recognized. Next step would be to now change the specific settings of each game. Fortnite taught me this when i bought that AOC deal earlier in the week.

Also, i have owned several 144hz budget monitors and they all did 144hz = displayport and 120hz = hdmi 2.0. Fyi.

It get's to $159 on Amazon. So I wouldn't say it's a big price differential.

I gotta look at faster ms response though.

I remember the Acer monitor deal from Costco was frustrating. It failed to recognize my Displayport because the monitor can be set to DP 1.1 or DP 1.2

Think I'm gonna grab this for my switch/PS3/360. They don't look bad on my 4k tv but I want the faster response rate

I have this monitor which I also bought from Best Buy but it was $211 at the time. Good news is they priced matched and got a refund for the difference.

Very good monitor, comes out of the box already overclocked to 165hz. Has a good stand that has tilt, swivel and height adjustable. It doesn't really have much in terms of cable management, but I was still able to hide the cables behind the monitor as best I could.

Performance-wise it is great. I personally switch to the G2 Racing mode, disable the on screen refresh rate and that seems to work well for me. I thought G1 Action would be a better mode for me since I play a lot of FPS games, but I found G2 Racing works better.

Speakers are actually decent for in monitor speakers. Nothing to get too excited about but OK for they are.

At the $211 price I paid before, I thought it was a good price considering what you are getting. At $150, this is a must buy if you are in the market for a 24 inch IPS 144Hz gaming monitor.
