In competitive gaming, every frame matters. Introducing Acer's KA242Y gaming monitor - the Full HD resolution monitor that can keep up with your game play. Through AMD FreeSync technology, the game’s frame rate is determined by your graphics card, not the fixed refresh rate of the monitor, giving you a serious competitive edge. Plus, users can enjoy comfortable viewing experience while gaming via flicker-less and low dimming display. The design saves space on your desk and lets you place multiple monitors side by side to build a seamless big-screen display.
Vibrant images
Crisp, true-to-life colors come alive in Full HD 1080p resolution. Movies and games appear more real and dramatic, and small details and text are clear with 1920x1080 resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio.
ZeroFrame design
With a KA242Y monitor, you’ll want to see as much of the display as possible. Get more monitor real estate with the near bezel-less design, allowing you to see more and do more. The ZeroFrame design lets you place multiple monitors next to each other for a seamless
AMD FreeSync technology
Say “goodbye” to stuttering and tearing. With AMD FreeSync, the monitor’s frames are synced with the graphics card’s frames, which eliminates screen tearing and provide the smoothest gaming experience.
Responsive!!
Fast response time of 1ms enhances the experience. No matter the fast-moving action or any dramatic transitions will be all rendered smoothly without the annoying effects of smearing or ghosting. The 100Hz refresh rate speeds up the frames per second to deliver smooth 2D motion scenes.
Stunning Images from every angle
Acer’s KA242Y monitor displays color accurately up to 178 degrees. Share what's on your screen with friends and family and colors stay true no matter what angle you're viewing from.
Eye safety first
Stay in the fight for hours with Acer EyeProtect’s Flicker-less, Blue Light Filter, ComfyView and Low-dimming technology. These features take into consideration prolonged usage and minimizes eye-strain from long gaming sessions.

Great buy, very happy
Fantastic monitor and quality, especially for the price. I generally use for office work, browsing, light gaming on console, etc. Wonderful at all of these. If you are to use these for work or casual gaming, they will work great.

Speakers
I like the monitor. It's very easy to setup and has different features on it. I just wish it would allow speakers to come out with a hesdset or bluetooth device.

Fantastic for its price.
The monitor itself isn’t the most mind boggling or most incredible monitor I’ve ever seen. However, you’re actually getting a REALLY decent monitor for what you’re actually paying. I got this monitor for around 100 bucks and it’s very good. It has a sleek design, and the screen is really good. If you’re looking for a decently sized monitor that is VERY easy to set up than I couldn’t recommend this more.
