It even includes speakers so you can use it as a standalone device. Read on for more information, but also check out our list of the best computer monitors around.

Why We Like It – Acer XF250Q 240hz

The Acer XF250Q 240hz monitor gives you a full HD experience that is perfect for the latest games and movies. The refresh rate on these monitors reaches 240hz which is a faster framerate than most of the competitors. You can enjoy all your content through the entirety of the screen thanks to the zero frame design.

Pros
  • 1ms response time is ultra fast
  • G sync compatible so it eliminates screen tearing
Cons
  • TN panel may not provide the best viewing angles

Performance

This monitor uses a zero frame design so you don’t have to worry about any borders minimizing your view. It has a 1ms response time and a high refresh rate which in combination gives you a smooth viewing experience while watching your content. If it is necessary for your next monitor to have a high refresh rate, you may want to also check out the Acer Predator VB272. This monitor is G Sync compatible, which is a technology by Nvidia that helps eliminate screen tearing.

Viewing angle

This monitor uses a TN panel, a type of panel that many customers say gives you very limited viewing angles and colors than other types like IPS. Regardless, it still has a screen resolution of (1920×1080) in full HD. The contrast ratio for this monitor is 1000:1. If you would like to find more monitors with an LED panel rather than a TN type, you may also be interested in the Asus XG248Q. You can also adjust the screen orientation from vertical and horizontal view depending on what you need it for.

Durability

This Acer XF250Q CBMIIPRX model is as durable as other current monitors, as long as you aren’t physically abusing it should last a long time. As with most Acer models, you have a limited warranty included with your purchase in case of any defects that affect you using it. If you would like to see what other competitors are offering, you may be interested in checking out the Alienware AW2518HF.

Ports/expandability

This Acer model has 1 display port, 1 HDMI 2.0 port, and 1 HDMI 1.4 port. You can connect multiple devices to save you some time from constantly connecting devices. The two HDMI ports will provide 4K support the 1.4 goes at 30 frames while the 2.0 at 60 frames.

Value

If you are a pro gamer, and you want a good monitor for yourself that will showcase the best engineering details of your games, this is a solid choice for you. If you often have spectators at home, it may not provide the best viewing angle for them since it has a TN panel type, but for the person dead in the center, it will shine in all its glory. Aside from viewing angles, the picture quality will be smooth and will not disappoint thanks to the g sync compatibility.
