Install Flash Player I would rate this monitor as a 2.5/10. Ill list the pros and cons then follow up with a more detailed explanation. Pros: -Clear and vivid screen -Good looking monitor Cons: -Began flashing on and off when in use (6 months after purchase) -Acer makes you pay for shipping for repairs... even during warranty period -Buttons on monitor are too small and unmarked Initially I needed a second screen for my laptop. After looking around for a while it seemed like nothing else really compared for this price point. I order the Acer R240HY. At first it was fantastic. When it works (note that phrase), it looks great... crisp and clear. However about 6 months after purchase it began to act strange. It flashes off and on randomly when trying to use it (see attached video). The screen going black every few seconds makes the monitor utterly useless So, I call up Acer support and this is what the support tech tells me "unplug and re-plug it in... did that work?... no... ok, thats all the guidelines we have... youll have to send it in for repair" As it turns out youre responsible for the shipping... let me rephrase that ... YOU HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE YOUR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT FIXED. Based on that alone (let alone the fact that its a defective piece of equipment) I cant recommend this monitor. When it works it works great... but what does that matter if it breaks after 6 months?
