Not a major deal but I noticed some fisheye on your recording camera a few minutes through. You should probably turn that off but it’s not that bad. I only noticed it when the monitor was lined up straight with the camera and it was warped. Nice review though!!!
Just wanted to make sure because the spec sheet only mentions the unit having a 1x display port. Does each model have 2 hdmi ports? or does it vary depending on the region where it is being manufactured?
alot of people are here because its going for £135 on amazon due to prime day. I have one question to ask, which port can support 144hz? dp or hdmi? Thanks
U need to go into display settings >advanced display settings then you change the refresh rate from there. In conclusion, it will work with display port or hdmi

There's not a lot of difference tbh. This can go up to 165hz - but having just got an LG TV, I might lean towards the LG monitor. But you can't go wrong with either of them

Acer adds additional letters to their model numbers. VG0 is the series then 240Y I believe just denotes size. Then this monitor should be followed by pbiip which somehow tells us more detailed specs. I believe this part of the model number also has to do with ongoing smaller changes to individual models. The 24 inch 144 hz version should be Acer VG0Y Pbiip.
