Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Acer EK241YG is a 23.8-inch Full HD monitor listed at £69.90, ranked sixth in this guide. Its headline number is the one that survives inspection. The 120Hz in the title is repeated in the "120Hz REFRESH RATE" bullet and again in the Refresh Rate field of the spec table, and 1920 x 1080 appears as Full HD, FHD 1080p, Maximum Display Resolution 1920 x 1080 Pixels and Native Resolution without any of them disagreeing. At 1500:1 the contrast ratio sits at the top of the 1000:1 to 1500:1 band the IPS screens in this batch occupy, so it needs no footnote either. The listing carries 163 ratings at 4.6, and the star breakdown shown runs to 100 of them, 77 of which are five-star.
Two fields on the same listing are less settled. The bullet calls the EK241YG an IPS Panel while the spec table's Display Type field says LED. The Viewing Angle field reads 25 Degrees, which sits oddly against a panel the bullets describe as IPS. The title also says 24 inch where the Screen Size field says 23.8 Inches, and one reviewer reports finding only a single HDMI connector on the back where the spec table lists HDMI and VGA. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for the Acer EK241YG; we have not tested the monitor.
