This is a good deal for a budget office monitor, with a few caveats. I wouldn't recommend it for gaming, or work requiring color accuracy, unless your budget is cataclysmically small.
It is a 23.8 inch 1080p (pixel density of 92 ppi, which is reasonable) ips w-led display with 72% ntsc coverage (typically somewhere in the ballpark of 95-99% srgb, which is decent) and 250 nits brightness (very poor). It functionally has a bit depth of 8 (6bit and frc). Contrast is poor (~1000:1 or less, as expected of cheap ips), but viewing angles and response time should be decent. Ips glow will be present as always. It has a 100hz refresh rate, and has a claimed response time of 1ms vrb which is just marketing bs, expect real world response times to be far slower. It has freesync (the most basic version, not premium or pro) however, due to lacking displayport, variable refresh rate (freesync) can only be used with amd gpus. As such, for intel and nvidia users, this monitor should be avoided for gaming, not that I'd recommend a 100hz refresh rate monitor for gaming in general. The variable refresh rate range (remember, amd gpus only) is from 48 to 100hz. It is technically vesa 75x75mm compatible, however according to some reviews it only has two holes for screws as opposed to four. The stand can height adjust, tilt, and swivel by an acceptable amount, though it's overall a lower quality stand and can't pivot. It has a hdmi 1.4 port, a vga port, and an audio port, it lacks displayport. It comes with a power cable and an hdmi cable. According to reviews the built in speakers are terrible.
Overall, if your budget is extremely tight, this is a great option for an office monitor.

Would 52 of these be good for recreating wheel of fortune in my basement?

Heads up folks: while the listing says VESA compatible, Amazon did not have sufficient pics. The ACER website showed the holes and they are literally at the rear bottom edge of the monitor. So if your metal mounts have any protrusions beyond the screw hole, the mounting brackets will be visible from underneath the monitor, making for a complete eyesore!

With this caveat, I'm buying two to try out for my kids' wall-mounted (homework) monitors and see how bad they look. Worth a try at this price point.

Would this be good for a low-end gaming PC? Not looking to spend too much so this looks good

No display port?

Didn't think new computer monitors came without one anymore

A lot of monitors come without DP.

Mostly used on business monitor or gaming monitors with refresh rate over 120Hz.

Any monitor works fine for gaming including this. People here seems to like to compare to anyththat 3 to 10 times more. It's 55, slim and led, cannot satisfy the world especially SD....

Good deal as a monitor for office and basic gaming for non graphics intensive games.. It is height adjustable which is usually hard to find at this price point.

My son needs a new budget monitor with integrated speakers. The 100hz refresh rate is a bonus in this price range IMO. I'll take a cheap IPS over almost any VA and their horrible smearing problems any day. Thanks!
