Acer SH242Y Ebmihx 23.8" FHD 1920x1080 Home Office Ultra-Thin IPS Computer Monitor AMD FreeSync 100Hz Zero Frame Height/Swivel/Tilt Adjustable Stand Built-in Speakers HDMI 1.4 & VGA Port

Just received the product and so far very pleased with my purchase. The base is sleek and simple with solid build quality, made for easy assembly without needing instructions. The screen is actually thinner than I expected making it efficient at saving desk space. It’s adjustable to practically any angle you’d need. I’m using as a second monitor for work so the picture quality is perfect for my needs— I’d imagine you’d need a more advanced device for a good gaming experience though as it could be a touch clearer. Screen glare is minimal, the picture doesn’t do it justice to be honest. I work with direct sunlight behind me and do not have issues viewing the screen.

I recently upgraded to a new computer monitor, and it has made a huge difference in my daily work and entertainment experience. The screen is sharp and vibrant, with excellent color accuracy and resolution, which makes everything from editing documents to watching movies a pleasure. The size is perfect for multitasking, allowing me to have multiple windows open side by side without feeling cramped. It also has adjustable settings for brightness and tilt, making it easy to customize for comfort during long hours at the desk. Overall, it’s a high-quality monitor that’s perfect for both work and leisure, and I’m very happy with my purchase!

This is a nice monitor. Easy to set up. No tools needed. Instruction manual included. There's the monitor, the base, and the pole. Easy to adjust angle and height. Picture looks great when plugged in with an HDMI cable to a laptop. Good price during Prime Day sale.

Good quality and colors. My only complaint is the stand seems a bit unstable, but if you dont shake it too much you should be okay.

I needed a monitor for the first time, as my aging eyes were making it hard to read text on my small laptop. This monitor is a game-changer! It has great color & crisp text, & works really well with my MacBook Air. I am not using the speakers, as the sound quality isn't as high as the sound from my Mac. I had help in choosing this from a very tech-savvy neighbor who highly recommended this brand & model.

Buenisimo, colores y todo

Great monitor. I chose this monitor to meet my work from home needs to have a larger screen. Very satisfied. Price was reasonable compared to other monitors. Still happy with purchase over a year later. No issues. Easy to use. Some flexibility like height adjustment, slight tilt and lightweight. Colors and screen features are great. Looks great, value for the price.

I had this for a little over a year and the POWER BUTTON FELL OUT. It's a stupid design because it's the shape of a keyhole, so the little plastic switch doesn't fit back in correctly, the buttons aren't meant to sit flush with the housing (and can't be pressed that way). What a piece of junk, they can't even get plastic buttons right . . .

This was supposed to come by 10 PM and it came much earlier. And it was delivered very well packaged. It took only minutes to set it up and the picture quality is very very good for a standard 1080P high definition monitor. I use it mostly for office tasks and not heavy gaming or anything like that so for my uses it’s excellent. For hard core gamers you’re probably gonna be buying a 4K monitor or better with all the bells and whistles. This doesn’t have it. No speakers. But it’s height adjustable and comes with all the cables you need to just plug it in to your computer and boot it right up. The colours are very realistic and crisp. The viewing angle is also excellent and the standard out of the box settings seem perfect. I actually think Acer makes very, very good monitors and this definitely is a very good one. It’s very well designed and for the value there’s just really nothing better than it out there that I can see. If you just want a standard 1080P monitor this is a great choice and I happy to give it five stars! I have others like it, but this one takes it a step above!

Bought this to game on with switch and Xbox, works amazing and great picture quality! I do wish it had more than one HDMI port, but the cord clip make it easy so switch HDMI cords when needed.

The monitor comes well packaged and protected in its box. And it looks good. The design is very flat though it bulks out at the bottom for the mount, ports, speakers and controls. The bezel is quite thin, again other than at the bottom. Image quality is as expected, nothing spectacular but not at all bad. Out of the box, I found the picture a bit too dark but I adjusted brightness and contrast and am quite happy with the result now. I’ll be using the monitor primarily with my work computer but I did test it’s performance out with a few apps and games and found the picture to be clear, sharp and bright with all of them. Colours were solid and saturation was sufficient. The monitor does provide a fairly wide set of settings you can adjust to suit your particular needs. Sound from the rear facing speakers was what you should expect: weak and tinny, but I don’t expect to be using them much. If I need sound, I’ll run it direct from the PC. The box included everything except a user manual. I got what looks like a quick-start sheet, and several warranty and safety sheets...but no manual. A quick search of the Acer site turned one up and I now know what the buttons do though to be fair, accessing the on screen menu is fairly straightforward. Somewhat disappointing, though, is the lack of a VESA mount on the back of the monitor. There are two holes, but no adapter thus if they are the mount, it’s a variant I’ve never seen before and unusable by me. Another reviewer mentions that he was unable to find an adapter on Amazon or the ACER site and neither was I. The Amazon page clearly states that this monitor has a 100mm vesa mount but half a mount isn’t useful. I actually had intended to use the stand but I would have liked the option to do otherwise and am disappointed by the inaccurate advertising. The base certainly feels stable enough and offers full rotation and good tilt. I was somewhat alarmed at seeing the short post height but it mounts to the bottom of the monitor and thus provides ample height above my work desk for comfortable viewing. I have noted that the single screw securing the post to the base does, however, work itself a bit loose if I rotate the monitor. A drop of locktite quickly sorted that issue however. Finally, the power block is somewhat large, about twice the size of a typical phone recharging block. I’ve never had a monitor with a power block on the end of the power cord before. As another reviewer noted, it certainly can block adjacent outlets on a power bar so fair warning. For a bargain price monitor however and the above points considered, I still expect it should work well for what I want. We’ve had several ACER laptops and monitors over the years and I haven’t had significant issues with any of them finding the ACER brand to be quite reliable. Hopefully this monitor will be as well.

I bought this monitor with the intention of plugging in a Fire Stick and using it as a TV in the kitchen. The sound on the built in speakers is pretty bad. It's the same sound quality of a speakerphone. I knew if the sound was bad I could always use the audio-out port. I plugged in some computer speakers and the sound is great. If anyone is buying this monitor to use as a TV you will definitely need to get speakers as well.

“Nice clear screen and easy to set up. Works great.”
