Acer Gaming Monitor Replacement

Posted 31st May 2023
Hello Everyone,

I've been offered a replacement gaming monitor from Acer but I'm not sure if it's any good.
I've got a 27" IPS 144hz 1440p and they are offering a 27" Curved VA 165hz VA.
I know that VA's are known for ghosting but I can't seem to find any videos showing how bad it is.
Can anyone offer some advice please? Thanks

    VA panels don't necessarily 'ghost'. They tend to have better contrast but worse viewing angels than IPS. Specifics are down to the individual screens.

    Have you looked for online reviews?

    Thanks for your reply.

    There was a review on Amazon and someone said the ghosting was really bad.
    I saw a reddit post and someone provided settings to help with the ghosting.

    The replacement has been refurbished by their service centre. I'm currently having
    problems with a damaged monitor because of their service centre.

    My monitor has been in and out of their service centre since the end of January.
    I sent it in for the 3rd time in April and they still haven't repaired it.
    I had to contact acer complaints for them to eventually offer a replacement.
    I think that's why I'm being so hesitant about accepting it.
