Acer KA242Y P6bi 24" IPS 1080p 144Hz FreeSync Monitor
The Acer KA242Y P6bi 24" IPS 1080p 144Hz FreeSync Monitor is a 23.8-inch display built for gamers and home users who want smooth, responsive motion without spending heavily. Its 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time address the tearing and ghosting that frustrate fast-paced gameplay, while IPS technology keeps colours accurate across wide viewing angles.
Why this product
144Hz refresh rate for smooth motion
Running at up to 144Hz, it shortens the time between rendered frames, reducing input lag and keeping fast-moving scenes clear and fluid.
1ms response time cuts ghosting
The 1ms response time means fast action and dramatic transitions are rendered without smearing or ghosting artefacts.
AMD FreeSync reduces screen tearing
AMD Adaptive Sync matches the display's refresh rate to the GPU's output, eliminating tearing without introducing the input lag of traditional V-Sync.
IPS panel with 178° viewing angle
IPS technology delivers accurate colour reproduction across up to 178 degrees horizontally and vertically, keeping the image consistent when viewed off-axis.
ZeroFrame Pro near bezel-less design
Minimal bezels maximise the usable viewing area and make it easier to arrange multiple monitors side by side with less visual interruption between screens.

- NVIDIA G-Sync users: synchronisation support is limited to AMD FreeSync; G-Sync compatibility is not stated in the verified specifications.
