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.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviews are scarce for this specific model; retailer descriptions emphasize the high 200 Hz refresh rate and FreeSync as key selling points, while a related IPS Sceptre ultrawide receives praise for vibrant colors and smooth performance, suggesting the VA version is positioned as a value-focused high-refresh alternative.
Everyday users highlight the monitor's immersive ultrawide format, smooth high-refresh gameplay, and convenient built-in speakers, but commonly criticize the low pixel density, occasional ghosting in dark scenes, and a basic stand that lacks height or tilt adjustments.
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.
