If you’re looking to pick up an affordable secondary monitor for your home office, you’ve come to the right place. Personally, I’ve had a dual monitor setup for years and it’s life changing, as it increases my productivity by allowing me to multitask with ease. Acer’s currently selling the SA2 Essential Monitor for $69.99, which is a savings of $40. The 23.8-inch display even has a 100Hz refresh rate and wide viewing angles. If you’re gamer, then you can expect smooth, lag-free visuals thanks to the high refresh rate.
The SA2 has a resolution of 1920×1080 and a maximum brightness of 250 nits. Sure, we’ve seen brighter and sharper-looking screens here at PCWorld, but 1080p is totally fine for day-to-day tasks as well as some light gaming. It’s also wall mountable, which is great if you want some additional desk space. As for connectivity options, you’re getting one HDMI and one VGA. While this monitor doesn’t have the most dazzling specs and features, it’s still pretty solid, especially for $69.99.
