Acer Nitro RG240Ybmiix 24 " black (UM.QR0EE.009)
 | Outdated Product £293.26 the 24-inch ZeroFrame thin-bezel monitor represents the Nitro line and is Acer's low-cost monitor. The model is equipped with an IPS-matrix with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and support for Visual Response Boost technology, which provides a response time of 1 ms. The screen is distinguished by an increased refresh rate up to 75 Hz, wide viewing angles and modest colour gamut (72% for the NTSC model). The Acer Nitro RG240Ybmiix monitor supports FreeSync technology, designed to provide maximum fluidity of dynamic scenes in tandem with Radeon graphics adapters. The model received a standard T-shaped stand and a set of connection interfaces (VGA, HDMI), equipped with two speakers of 2 W each. |

Gaming monitor for low-cost-conscious gamers
What do we need from a modern gaming monitor? The sweep frequency is higher than the standard 60 Hz. Ideally 120 – 144. What else? To make the matrix fast, less than 5 ms. Well, don't forget about support for useful things like AMD FreeSync. However, the market is full of inexpensive models that do not fully meet these requirements, but are called gaming. For example, the hero of this review, the Acer RG240Ybmiix, belongs to the popular Nitro gaming line, but the refresh rate does not exceed 75 Hz.
Matrix response speed 1 ms
To some extent, the RG240Ybmiix even exceeds expectations, for example, the response time of its matrix is only one millisecond. It is clear that this is not pure 1 ms, as in expensive gaming monitors (they were calculated taking into account Visual Response Boost technology), but for not the fastest IPS matrices this is a good result. Well, do not forget that this handsome man costs about $150, and models with fast matrices do not swim in these waters at all. Otherwise, Acer Nitro looks quite modern: a 24-inch matrix displays a picture with FullHD resolution, and the brightness, contrast and colour performance are at an adequate level for this class. Despite the fact that in fact the matrix here is not 8-bit, but 6-bit + FRC, the picture looks pretty nice, although there is a slight backlight unevenness, especially noticeable in the corners against a dark background.
Built-in speakers and a pair of HDMI outputs
If we put it on the table with one of last year's Nitro models, we will see that the main improvements have affected not so much the matrix itself, but the design. Older models flirted more with the concept of "gaming design" and sported all sorts of decorative inserts (of course in red), the new one looks more versatile and modern. The side frames have remained the same thin, the decor has become smaller, the stand looks less aggressive, and the monitor itself has become much thinner - in some places the thickness reaches only 7 mm. Tolstoy was left with only the hardware part with a power supply, built-in speakers and video outputs. By the way, instead of one HDMI port, the RG240Ybmiix has two.
