Acer SB220Q bi 21.5" Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Ultra-Thin Zero Frame Monitor (HDMI & VGA Port)

Comment

This monitor is perfect. It has really good image quality, it has incredible black tones, and super quick response time. The size is the only thing that bothers me, but I would definitely buy another one of these monitors to have two displays. Believe me when I say that it is a really good monitor.

MONITOR SAYS INPUT NOT SUPPORTED. I am using a HDMI cable and it will not support the input for some reason. I have changed HDMI cables thinking maybe I have a bad cable and I got the same message with a known good cable. I would not recommend this purchase until the resolved the problem. Same pc is using the same HDMI on a television and runs flawlessly

I purchased this monitor to replace a several years old, but nice Dell model. The build on this one feels light and cheap, but then it was 1/4th the cost of the previous monitor, and a monitor does not really have to put up with a lot of stress. I use it for work (browsing, reading, some graphics) and a little personal (video), but not gaming or anything intensive so cannot speak to that. What I did learn is that the input for video matters, a lot. Initially I connected the monitor using my current VGA cable (one reason I chose this particular monitor). The picture was fine, but I discovered that it did a poor job with any photo/video with dark tones. In a darker or shadowy picture, all detail was lost (the image looks almost black in some cases). This could not be remedied by adjusting contrast, etc. It was bad enough that I decided to shop around until I found an alternative monitor, at about double the cost. Just before initiating the return, on a whim, I changed the input to HDMI. I figured this was more about HD video quality, etc. But as soon as I made the switch, everything got better. Suddenly photos looked perfect, problem solved. This monitor does not come with an HDMI cable, so if you dont have one, I recommend purchasing one in addition. The only other thing that is worth knowing is that, as mentioned in the description, this monitor cannot be tilted. Because the base is round, propping it up is unstable. For me, its fine, I have it tilted up, and it sits on the desk. It would wobble at a bump, but its not really ever getting bumped.

The monitor blinks on and off. Ive looked online, and apparently this is a common problem with Acer monitors. Ive had one of theirs before, it didnt have this problem, but this one does. It might be cheap, but when it doesnt work, its still a waste.

I purchased for my custom pc and dont have much money for an expensive monitor but this one is really makes it hard to consider other monitors for the price. The picture quality is very good even with VGA. Im upgrading to a displayport to hdmi to see if thats even better. There are no speakers but there are adapters you can order that have audio jack port to install speakers or headphones. Highly recommend this monitor for anyone. Updated: I had trouble installing the base but got help from acer support who in the same process registered my product. I attached a picture of the base where you should place the metal plate. It may be obvious to place for some, but there were no instructions included

The actual quality of the monitor is good, but the monitor itself has some issues with certain motherboards and/or GPUs. The monitor refuses to show the BIOS menu. (The menu actually loads but the monitor will display "input not supported" for the entire time, making it useless if you have to change one of those settings), but it works perfectly once the operating system reaches the login screen. I had to plug my computer into my TV to view the bios screen, and that worked, so I know that its a monitor issue. Called up ACER support, said there was nothing they could do.

This is a great budget monitor. I was amazed by the quality of the screen and color display. I’m using this for both my MacBook Pro and Xbox one and I couldn’t not be any happier. Don’t know why people in these reviews are docking points for “not having a vesa mount” or “not including and adapter for Mac”. The description of the item easily tells you that before you buy this item. Why judge this monitor off of something it didn’t even advertise?

I bought two of these monitors and I am extremely impressed. 1080P + IPS + 75Hz + FreeSync + Thin + Narrow bezels at this price is awesome. 1080P at 21.5" has a nice pixel density. Text is very crisp and sharp. Picture Quality wasnt bad out of the box but after some tweaking its looking great! 75Hz refresh rate is still a NOTICEABLE improvement over 60Hz. This also costs far less than say a 144Hz monitor. Really a great gaming monitor if you are on a budget. Ive only played some Quake Live on it thus far but I really dont notice any input lag or ghosting. FreeSync support - I am not using an AMD graphics card so I cant comment -- but its nice to have and ultimately is why this has a 75Hz refresh rate so no complaints :-) The monitor is impressively thin and having VGA and HDMI is great. No DisplayPort, but I wouldnt expect that on a monitor at this price point. I knocked off a star because I REALLY wish these had VESA mounting. Im using two of these in a dual monitor setup and having VESA would be great to not only elevate them but also the monitors dont exactly line-up because you get a little bit of variation in tilt with the cheap plastic stands.

Henry wrote in his August 2018 review that this monitor has no tilt. Mine does., dont know why his doesnt. I almost didnt buy this monitor because of that but all of its other features at a very good price convinced me to do otherwise. I have seven computers (incl. 1 laptop) and Ill say, without reservation, this is the best monitor in the house. Lightweight, thin as thin can get and outstanding picture quality. My photographs never looked better. Again, Perfect!
