Question 1

Has anyone bought this and used it for gaming ? i have an Acer g245hq now , was thinking of giving that one to my son and buying this to match my NZXT phantom white/red case

Accepted Answer

I got this monitor as a birthday gift a while back and use it primarily for gaming. I play Skyrim with a lot of graphic mods and it looks absolutely beautiful. It's a good size and resolution, doesn't take up too much desk space. That it comes with its own HDMI cable is also great. Coincidentally, I also have a white NZXT case, and they look good together

Question 2

how do i use sound on this monitor?  there is no headphone jack????

Accepted Answer

I don't use sound directly out of this monitor.
Sound signal usually comes from your computer (green ring connector on the back), unless the monitor has built in speakers, which is not the case of this model.

Question 3

From the pictures, it appears that this monitor does NOT have the ability to use a VESA standard mount stand or wall mount. Is that in fact correct - no VESA mount ability?

Accepted Answer

Do not believe it has a standard VESA mount. . need to use the stand, which may be the worst part of the monitor.  The stand seems a bit flimsy, BUT, for the display and color quality and price, I'm willing to live with the stand.  LOVE THIS DISPLAY!!!

Question 4

Does anyone know when it will be back in stock????

Accepted Answer

I am not sure to be quite honest. We just recently bought this item in the end of March. Honestly maybe contact customer support and ask what the average restocking time is. Hope that helps!!!

Question 5

Is the surface of this monitor glossy or matte?

Accepted Answer

Does anyone know what i look for when im looking for a glossy panel / screen ? i am about to buy this but i wanted one with the screen that looks like the finish on an iphone or touch screen phone.. hard shiny clear surface.

Question 6

Does this Monitor come with built in speakers? Is this monitor recommended for gaming purposes such as minecraft and bf4?

Accepted Answer

usually with " gaming monitors and FPS (battlefield) games youre going to want to go for something that has a fast response time (ms). 5 ms is pretty standard and its hard to really notice any kind of lag or ghosting on anything higher than 8? ( which IPS monitors are towards this number) i wish i bought this monitor bc of the white to match my rig and accessories. acer monitors however have a beautiful bright picture.

Question 7

Is this monitor mountable?  I don't see any mounting holes

Accepted Answer

It is not as far as I can tell

Question 8

How we can attach Acer S2 S242HLBwid monitor to Table mount such as Rosewill RHMS-1300?

Accepted Answer

Probably cannot. Do not see any VESA info in the manual for the product. You will need VESA mount on back of monitor to mount to most mounting arms, etc.
