Acer's website suggests srkain is right and 144hzmonitors.com is wrong about audio. It has neither speakers nor an audio out. Not an issue for some people, but it is for me. I'll be cancelling my order.

I hear alot of tales about Ebuyer being crappy but I'm with the other guy, I've bought stuff from them for years without an issue.

yeah i have heard this before on this site but personally never had any issues and been buying from them for years...although i don't think I have ever needed to send anything back...

'Acer K242HYL 23.8" IPS LED Monitor' is discontinued; :disappointed:

thanks. heat added

Can you see it while your using it or you ran a test on it?
Mine looks good. You could try to ask for a replacement.

I've just set mine up and tbh I'm not that impressed. With my blue background, you can visibly see the pixels and the top edge of the screen has a shimmering effect if you look closely.....Just me?

surprisingly it doesn't.
the picture quality is very good though imo.

I received mine today, I've had a pretty good experience with it so far, the colour is so much better than my older TN panel, the only issue I have had with the monitor is that there is a little backlight bleed in one of the corners.

I'd like to know why Acer thought it was a good idea to include both a US and UK power cable and only a VGA cable which we really shouldn't be using in 2017, they should get rid of the US power cable which is never going to be used... and switch the VGA cable for DVI/HDMI one, it saves them money and saves the end user from having to use an inferior cable on an IPS monitor.

Luckily I had a spare DVI cable lying around so that VGA cable is going back into the box forever, along with the US power cable, also the monitor does not have speakers sadly for anybody that was wondering.

I can only say that this is a huge improvement on my old monitor, a Dell E2211H 21". Colours, definition, viewing angles, all show great improvement (they sit side by side now, utilising the multi display Windows 10 system).

BTW, the latter took some doing until I realised that the display settings 1-2 arrangement had to reflect the physical one. As my old screen was to the left of the Acer, I had to drag the display setting to become 2-1. Bingo, the cursor flows easily from one to the other, as do Apps from screen 1 to screen 2 and back again! An unexpected bonus to this deal.

Thanks OP!

Used this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WexJRnud32U to check light bleed and didn't see any.

Is there any back-light bleed for you? I heard some of the cheaper IPS's have insane light bleeding when there's a dark scene.

Anyone's monitor arrived yet? Any good?

ordered as was looking for a cheap monitor. looks good for price. thanks

Nice deal. Ordered two yesterday. Unfortunately I went for the free 5 day delivery option so will have to wait a while for them to arrive but if the no speaker rumors are true then they will be going back.
The manual here

and this guys pics - http://jaimenow.blogspot.co.uk/p/acer-kn.html
certainly suggests that there's a 3.5mm audio in which would at least suggest there's a speaker in there somewhere but it looks like the manual covers a couple of models so I'll have to wait and see.

Thanks OP, ordered. Thanks also for the helpful and knowledgeable comments of those more informed than I.

I've got an acer monitor, about 23.5" diagonal.

It's a really nice monitor. The best I have ever had.

BUT, and this is my only gripe, the power supply cable to the monitor developed a fault in that the wires that went from the transformer to the monitor were bare wires for a couple of mm where they left the transformer. I put this down to the plastic 'flexi' outlet to the transformer block being too hard.

So, I sent it back to Acer as it was under warranty. But they didn't want to know. Just posted it back to me.

When this monitor finally fails I shall not buy another Acer. A shame because it is genuinely a lovely monitor, but I feel very unhappy with their customer service.

After checking with Ebuyer, this monitor does not come with sound.... :-(

Heat from me but I'm looking for an IPS with freesync and display port.

Having looked around on various sites, it does seem like no speakers - weak or not, that's a bit of a shame.

How does this LG 24" compare(same price) from Amazon?

Can you connect a Xbox One to this? Thanks

bought it..replacing a few years old and slightly smaller monitor

Voted hot and purchased!

Quidco states 1.5% on monitors.

Seems like good value although I'd need something height adjustable and there aren't many monitors on the market with that feature. Still, for the price, it's good value.

This is the one I use every day in work, great monitor and I paid around £100 for it 1 1/2 years ago!

where does it say that it has speakers?

Aahah literally just changed the port and it fixed it thanks anyway. (ive tried this before tho dont know why it didn't work)

I have this monitor but it has a constant flicker could it be that im not using HDMI ?

Thank you!

Never had a problem with ebuyer in the four/five years I've been dealing with them.

Ordered. Thanks OP.

I don´t think this have speakers. Still hot though. :sunglasses:

is this useful as a desktop monitor or is it too big for that?

nice monitor,

crap merchant

ordered 1 thanks op! when I went through the checkout it said there was more than 100 left in stock, so don't feel the need to panic buy.

i need to sell my Acer monitors 23'' 1080 only 8 months old, i dont want 130 for them both.

I need a new monitor but I'm cautious about buying from Ebuyer, based on feedback.

Bought - thanks!

i have ordered one. thanks OP. have been waiting a while for a monitor deal

Typical. Bought this last week- http://www.ebuyer.com/753118-lg-22mp48d-22-full-hd-ips-monitor-22mp48d

This for an xtra £10 good value with speakers, bigger screen and quicker repsonse

Mine has already been dispatched with free delivery! Why pay for delivery?!

Seems like a good deal, but probably another bait and switch from eBuyer.

Does anyone know how long the warranty is?

Thanks. I missed out on the earlier deal for the G247HYL, but this will do fine.

if they don't sell out super quick, this will get super hot.

VESA mountable too. Excellent price.

Good price

Voted hot & ordered. Thanks for sharing.

Been wanting to upgrade my 21.5" bog standard monitor for ages, this seems unbeatable!
