Score: 71/100Rankings
The Acer Nitro KG241Y Sbiip is a 23.8-inch VA gaming monitor delivering a rapid 165 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms response and FreeSync Premium for fluid gameplay. Its basic ergonomics, modest brightness, and limited color gamut are drawbacks. It targets budget gamers who prioritize high refresh performance.
The ASUS TUF VG24VQER is a 23.6-inch curved VA monitor offering 180 Hz refresh and 1 ms motion blur reduction for fast-paced gaming. Its limited ergonomics, lack of HDR and modest brightness reduce its appeal for content-creation or bright-room use. Ideal for budget-focused competitive gamers who value speed and deep blacks over extensive adjustability.

Professional reviewers commend the Acer Nitro KG241Y Sbiip for its outstanding value, delivering a 165 Hz (and even 180 Hz in tests) VA panel with 1 ms response, FreeSync Premium and solid build at a low price. However they note the monitor's ergonomics are basic, brightness and color gamut are modest, and real-world contrast falls short of its specifications, making it less suitable for color-critical work.
Everyday users echo the praise for affordability, smooth high-refresh gaming and the lightweight, wobble-free stand, while repeatedly mentioning the cheap plastic stand, limited adjustability, and underwhelming color and brightness for tasks beyond gaming.
Professional editors view the VG24VQER as a strong value proposition for esports-focused gamers, praising its high refresh rate, ELMB Sync, and vivid color reproduction, while noting the limited ergonomics and modest brightness as trade-offs for the price point.
Consumers generally appreciate the monitor's ultra-fast refresh and vibrant visuals, especially for fast-paced games, but recurring feedback points to dissatisfaction with the low 1080p pixel density and the lack of height or swivel adjustments.
