A curved 27" this cheap, not everybody games some of us need more efficient screen space to get work done. I'm just saying this is a cheap option for some, and Acer is still better than some unknown generic brand which there are a plethora out there.
How about as an office monitor?
That one is 165hz, this is 75hz

That is a different monitor. This is only a 75hz display where as the one you linked is 165hz. Major difference for gaming.

Thats fair a displayport would have been nice, an hdmi to displayport adapter would fix that issue. I didn't realize this also has built in speakers, really a 27" for this price is pretty decent only thing for me that would be a nice add is built in webcam but hey for $140 with 3 yr warranty still not too shibby.

Wow, thank you for seeing the difference! I had no clue.

So for gaming, you are saying it is a major deal breaker?

I am trying to understand the difference...

What are the differences between 75hz and 165hz?

Update:

I decided to google it and here is what I found:

Is there a big difference between 75Hz and 144hz monitors?
A 144hz monitor refreshes its screen 144 times in one second whereas a 75hz monitor refreshes its screen 75 times in one second. ... A 144hz monitor gives you 69 more frames to view in one second compared to a 75hz monitor. As a result, the gameplay looks much smoother on a 144hz monitor.Jul 8, 2021

Dang, these differences make it a massive difference for gaming!

Yes, that is correct. Once you see a high refresh rate, it's hard to go back. 120hz is the minimum for me. My laptop is a buttery Smooth 300hz and it's amazing.
