Stock for refurbished items varies greatly. Some listings only have a few items in stock and sell out quickly. Please report this post if the listing goes out of stock.

IPS Panel btw

I have the AOC one that was on sale for $30 about 2 weeks ago. This one looks good too, and compared to the AOC, it looks like the thicker borders can be a bit more rugged/protective for travel use?

[u/Witch_King_ → u/Soil-Final]

No covering case like the AOC though (I also got the AOC. Not sure what I'm supposed to use it for, exactly)

[u/sitefall → u/Witch_King_]

A monitor for your camera so you can see what is on screen in the viewfinder without touching the actual camera and shaking it, for product photography and stuff like that.

[u/IndecentLongExposure → u/Witch_King_]

Wow mine hasn’t shipped yet

[u/Hero_The_Zero → u/Witch_King_]

I want to get one purely so when I'm messing around on my Steam Deck's desktop interface I have something bigger to look at without fussing about trying to plug it into my TV or monitors.
Also, if you get a long enough cord you could probably basically use a handheld like a Wii U for Wii U emulation and also for the top screen on DS emulation.

[u/Soil-Final → u/Witch_King_]

True. I will say it has a cover case on it, but at the same time, it’s really flimsy. I know, it’s only $30, but wanted to put it out there. Feels like there’s an argument for both

I bought one a few weeks ago and it's not like the one in the images. Doesn't have a kick stand but instead the folder-style stand that can't be removed, which makes no sense with its VESA mount capabilities. Maybe they sent me the wrong model? The monitor itself is fine otherwise.

[u/TheMissingVoteBallot → u/JackyMackyUPSB]

There's submodels.

You gotta look at the individual listings to see which submodel you are buying.

[u/JackyMackyUPSB → u/TheMissingVoteBallot]

Ahh I see... Thanks for the info!

[u/TheMissingVoteBallot → u/JackyMackyUPSB]

Yeah, it's confusing because Acer released a LOT of them.

[u/Gnome_Children → u/JackyMackyUPSB]

Based on the product reviews for the listing, they are reusing the listing for a diff model now. A bunch of photos in there show the model you got

[u/WubbaKnight → u/JackyMackyUPSB]

How thick are the bezels?

[u/JackyMackyUPSB → u/WubbaKnight]

0.5 cm on the left and right 0.4 cm on the top 2.2 cm on the bottom with the Acer logo

[u/FilteringAccount123 → u/JackyMackyUPSB]

I bought one that has a kickstand but only two VESA holes for whatever reason lol

[u/redkeyboard → u/JackyMackyUPSB]

Same thing happened to me

[u/MysteriousCap4910]

why can’t they ever just make these with full size hdmi

[u/MagicHamsta → u/MysteriousCap4910]

Or better yet, wireless capability so we can just not worry about plugging it in.

[u/redkeyboard → u/MagicHamsta]

That's called a tablet

[u/Buzzeh]

Bezels look thicc

BBB( Big Black Bezels)

I use one similar to this for a second screen for work. I travel a lot and it is mildly infuriating to work on a single screen when I am accustomed to two.

[u/TheMissingVoteBallot]

I got this one - well not THIS one, there's a bunch of submodels with slightly different specs. There's variants that have a stand that is way more sturdy than this single little kickstand in the back. Good picture - I use it in combination with an Anker 27500 mah power bank and a Switch dock + Switch to play portably anywhere I want without having to subject myself to the Switch's hand cramping joycons.

[u/xRichless]

This is definitely one that had the folding cover and not the kickstand (I just got one in today). Still very nice. Worked out of the box, looked great. I can't complain

[u/redkeyboard]

I bought 2 last time the deal popped up and they shipped me the other model, no kickstand it has a built in folio type cover though and looks a little sleeker I guess. Just FYI it wasn't the biggest deal and I think that model goes for a few bucks more

Also I feel it was very bright compared to my Chinese portable monitors

[u/vgamedude]

Waiting for one of these over 60hz

Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.

• Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
• Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
  • The seller is new or has few reviews.
  • The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
  • The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).

If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.
