After reading your review on this monitor, I decided on it for my first gaming PC build, and it's an amazing monitor! It was only $129.99 from Best Buy when I bought it, with 165hz, IPS, HDR, fully adjustable, and FreeSync support? It's a STEAL!
This is one of the best reviews i've ever seen. Nothing unnecessary was added, nothing necessary was omitted, and it was presented as fast as it could be before becoming hard to follow. Give this man a raise!
i use this monitor with my series x for FPS gaming, i love it. 120 fps is great. like the review says, if you're looking for speed/response rate on a budget its so worth it. if you're looking for amazing HD picture probably just stick with your tv
@@hammond5315 i use the hdr mode, but hdr is set to 'off' on my series x. overdrive on normal, amd freesync on, vrb off, ultra low latency on. 1080p 120 hz, but those are set from the console
@@RTINGSdotcom I have owned it for about a year now. I love using my PS5 on it. Using 120hz is smooth and fast, the colors are good but not too bright. Watching 4K HDR movies on it is great. I think the best part is the response time. The speakers are not the best but that problem is easily solved.
@@peterwirth5662 I'd say it's awesome but not great. The only thing it lacks is brightness but the playing is smooth. I prefer it over my 4K 60hz monitor.
Just found your website and this channel, very informative no nonsense videos. Subbed. I don't have a PS5 yet, but I decided I wanted to take advantage of its next gen capabilities and find a monitor better than my six year old Samsung S22E310H for when I do eventually get one. I don't know a lot about HDR and 4K and all that. This monitor seems like a really solid pick considering my budget isn't immense. I hope Destiny 2 will look good on this monitor.
Hey dude , Did u buy this monitor if yes please tell me your review and if it’s smooth in shooting games , also I have a question please I’m new in monitors and pcs so is it enough to buy the monitor for playing shooting games or you should pay more?😕
Unfortunately, we don't currently provide in-depth monitor settings suggestions like we do for TVs. However, we do list some suggestions in our full review on our website, so it may be worth checking that out. Also, for what it's worth, if we don't mention a particular setting, it's very likely that we just left it at it's default!
Thanks for this video. I bought this recently and do not use it for gaming but for conference calls, streaming, etc. Out of the box the colors are highly saturated and I look very orange. I have tried adjusting the hue, etc but I cannot figure out where the settings are to adjust the overly saturated color. Can you help? Thanks.
Hi, I am currently looking into buying this monitor, but it is being advertised as 180hz not 165. It is the same model number and looks exactly alike, but best buy is claiming that it is 180hz. Just wondering if they updated it or what.
Hi, you claim that this monitor is G-SYNC compatible but it is not listed on the official G-SYNC compatibility list, neither is this claim advertised anywhere. Could you please confirm whether this monitor is in fact compatible with G-SYNC?
While it doesn't have the official certification, we can confirm that it did indeed work during our testing, but only over Display Port (no support over HDMI). Also, the range we could get was 20-165. Hope this helps!
Hi, thanks for the video. I know the G-SYNC is compatible, I have the same monitor with a RTX 3060 ti. I tried to enable it from the nvidia panel but doing the Nvidia test actually the G-SYNC is not enabled. Can you make an exact guide? Does premium freesync have to stay active? The cable which connect the GPU to the monitor is a display port. Thanks so much
Why are the Test result numbers of this monitor in the review on your website different than in this video? For example the response times of this monitor in your review on your website are way worse.
Hey Christian, We definitely understand the confusion. The numbers on our website are related to our newest test bench update whereas this review was filmed before our most recently methodology change took place!
When it comes to monitor sizes, that’s very subjective so we really can’t say if it will be a good size for you. It also depends on how close you’re sitting to the screen. Alot of people are very happy with 24” monitors though, so you’ll probably be okay!
@@RTINGSdotcom Hey, my monitor arrived today and I must say I love it. I got the 24” size and it looks really good and the picture quality is amazing. I like the fluid movements and dynamics of the monitor!
It really depends. I have a 27'' LG Ultra gear as horizontal screen and this screen as a 24'' vertical screen. For horizontal I would pick 27'' and vertical screens are perfect in 24''.
It's definitely a good budget gaming monitor, but it's limited to 1080p, so it isn't necessarily the best option if you want to future proof your setup. As for ghosting though, feel free to check out our full review: rtings.com/monitor/reviews/acer/nitro-xf243y-pbmiiprx

I'm deeply disappointed. It seems that you did not retest the monitor, but simply took the old test of the monitor. Since at least August last year, the monitor has been secretly given a new panel, and the brightness values for my model are a maximum of 248 cd/m2, which also corresponds to the monitor's regular spec sheet.
How can I tell what? It's the same material as on the website just with some commentary from a moderator. It's like this with all of rtings video tests if the product test was already published on their website.

How do you turn on game mode?
It should turn on when you start playing gaming content but otherwise you should be able to access it in the picture settings!

Anyone know how to turn on fps mode
Good i love
Will it give me 120 fps for fortnite
It can do 1080-120hz with either consoles, so yes you're good to go!
I'm deeply disappointed.
It seems that you did not retest the monitor, but simply took the old test of the monitor.
Since at least August last year, the monitor has been secretly given a new panel, and the brightness values for my model are a maximum of 248 cd/m2, which also corresponds to the monitor's regular spec sheet.
How can you tell?
How can I tell what? It's the same material as on the website just with some commentary from a moderator. It's like this with all of rtings video tests if the product test was already published on their website.
@@Julz2k your model is called "XF243YP" and has the part number UM.QX3EE.P01? you can see it on the label behind the monitor.
On sale on eBay for 70 bucks (including tax)

Hi will this monitor support 120hz on PS5?
It can do 1080p 120hz yes! www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/acer/nitro-xf243y-pbmiiprx feel free to check out our full review for more info about ps5 compatibility though (the PS5 compatibility section).
i still think this is a good monitor versus a 350 dollar monitor due to 1 inch more of display and more usb ports in it but thats the least.
Great monitor and cheap too
The version with VA panel is better , Acer Nitro XFA243Y Sbiipr
99 on amazon

Thx

Thanks! I bought this for my father and mother to replace their silly old low res, dirty, vga monitor that they have had for over 20 years. I can't wait for Christmas so I never have to see that piece of junk again. 😂
Cool shirt, a nice tribute to Neil Peart.
