Community Reviews

This Acer Nitro 27 inch WQHD 240Hz IPS monitor stands out as a strong value for gaming and everyday use, with sharp 1440p resolution, a fast 240Hz refresh rate, and enough size and pixel density to work well in a bright office. The price at $149.99 looks unusually low for those specs, and the panel is described as beating pricier refurbished alternatives. The main tradeoff is sparse features, with no USB C, no USB ports, no speakers, and no 3.5mm audio output. It is a stripped down monitor that leans hard on speed and resolution.

Common Questions (5)

  • No built-in speakers are mentioned, and it reportedly has no 3.5mm speaker/audio port either. Audio must come from the computer or another external source.

  • At $149.99, the 27-inch QHD IPS 240Hz spec set is considered strong value for the price. It is also shipped and sold by Walmart, and the low price is seen as especially good compared with pricier alternatives.

  • Yes. The 27-inch WQHD resolution gives decent pixel density and the panel is bright enough for well-lit offices. The 240Hz refresh rate and 0.5ms response time are overkill for office work, but they do not hurt.

  • It is a very bare-bones monitor: no USB-C, no USB ports, no speakers, and only one DisplayPort are mentioned. That stripped-down feature set likely helps explain the low $149 price.

  • No. The listing does not clearly show the exact model number, which makes it hard to tell whether it matches variants like W2bmiipx or W2bmii. The missing model detail is a practical issue if you are trying to compare panels or specs.

Pretty decent specs for this price, the only other good option is the Refurbished Acer, 32 on Ebay. This one beats it, super good. Tks op.

Would this be a good option for office work? Don't need for gaming specifically
It will perform well for office work. Good size and pixel density, and bright enough for well lit offices. It'll be overkill, because variable refresh rates up to 240Hz and 0.5ms response times don't provide any benefit for office work, but they won't hurt.

Don't see built-in speakers mentioned in the description. Would be nice if it has speakers
It has no speakers, and no speaker 3.5mm port! So you have to get the sound from the computer.

I agree with the looking too good to be true and a lot of the Acer stuff that has been popping up, did anyone get and receive this?? curious what anyone thinks of it in person. Everyone on here is always awesome with giving their thoughts on items
Received. My adult son is happy with it. He normally games on a $800 monitor (retail).

This is like those black tv models, discounted price because its very minimal in features compared to pricier monitors. no type c, no speakers, only 1 display port, no usb ports. Also I believe there is a security lock slot on these monitors, so they were probably made for gaming cafes to buy in bulk.
also, this is the first time ive seen a monitor advertising GTG speeds because most companies use MPRT as the industry standard to represent MS because they more accurately represent performance because GTG response times may not always reflect the actual performance of the monitor in real-world scenarios, especially for fast-moving images. The advertisement doesnt flaunt or mention anything about MPRT so that's probably where this low price is coming from because manufacturers aren't required to list MPRT response times if they choose to measure by GTG.
No other 2k 240hz monitor exist for 150$.Remember, you get what you pay for.

dont forget its up to .5msGTG, not .5MS response times with the standard MPRT that most manufacturers use to measure response times because it more accurately measures the performance in real world applications. This monitors response time is 1ms GTG - .5 GTG but for marketing purposes theyre just showing off "up to .5GTG". Acer opted out of revealing the MRPT response time on their website for the monitor and The monitor is "sold out" on their website so its probably discontinued and they sold a bulk shipment to Walmart because its being sold and shipped by them, not Acer. It has low reviews off the acer website but high on walmart because people received it for promo. Acer choosing to sell a product with only the GTG measurement instead of MPRT is why it probably failed because the only reason to advertise GTG and hide the MPRT is because its most likely over 1ms MPRT, since 1ms and below is what most consumers look at when buying a monitor so it wouldnt make sense to not sell a monitor advertising the 1ms MPRT.
mprt is a more accurate measurement of motion blur.

gtg is Gray to Gray pixel transitions. But the measurement is typically from 10% transition to 90% transition. So actual gtg (0-100) will almost always be much higher than the indicted value.

mprt is Moving Picture Response Time
a 1ms GTG can have a 16.7ms MPRT.
