Professional reviewers praise the VX2718-PC-MHD for its high refresh rates and low response times, but note the low pixel density and limited color accuracy make it unsuitable for professional content creation.
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.
