acer Nitro 24 in Curved Gaming Monitor - 100Hz FHD, 1ms Response

Our review of the acer Nitro 24 in curved monitor finds it best suited for budget-conscious gamers and general multimedia users who want smoother motion and immersive curvature without a high price. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of an overclocked 100 Hz refresh rate with a 1ms response time, which reduces motion blur and keeps fast action readable. The 1500R curve and VA panel deliver deep contrast for darker scenes, while the included Docztorm USB hub adds practical connectivity for a small desk setup.

Key Features

• 24 in FHD VA panel: A curved 1920 x 1080 display provides immersive viewing and stronger blacks compared with typical TN panels for movies and games.
• 100 Hz refresh rate: Overclocked refresh delivers smoother, more responsive gameplay compared with standard 60 Hz displays.
• 1ms response time: Very fast response (VRB/GtG reference) helps reduce smearing and ghosting during fast camera pans and competitive matches.
• AMD FreeSync: Adaptive sync removes screen tearing by matching the monitor refresh to the graphics output for cleaner motion.
• Docztorm USB hub included: The special edition portable Docztorm adds a super-speed data hub up to 5 Gbps for quick peripheral and storage connections.
• Ergonomic tilt: Adjustable -5 to +20 degrees lets you set a comfortable viewing angle on standard desks and mounts.

Who It's For

This monitor is aimed at PC gamers on a budget who want smoother motion than 60 Hz and a faster response for action titles, plus home office users who prefer a curved screen for multimedia. The included Docztorm hub also makes it useful for someone with limited ports who wants quick external drive access.

If you need ultrahigh resolution, built-in speakers or a webcam, look elsewhere; this is an FHD display without audio or camera. Professionals requiring color-critical work should consider IPS panels for wider accuracy, since this VA panel favors contrast and depth over absolute color precision.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong contrast from the VA panel delivers deep blacks for movies and darker game scenes.
• Smoother gameplay thanks to the overclocked 100 Hz refresh and AMD FreeSync.
• The 1ms response time reduces blur in fast-moving content, improving competitive play readability.
• Includes a practical Docztorm USB hub for fast external device connections up to 5 Gbps.

Cons

• No built-in speakers or webcam, so audio and video peripherals must be added separately.
• FHD resolution on 24 in may not satisfy users who prefer higher pixel density or professional color work.
