Acer KA242Y P6bip — 23.8" Full HD IPS, 144Hz, 1ms VRB, AMD FreeSync

144Hz IPS Panel1920 x 1080 Full HD1ms VRB · FreeSyncHDMI 1.4 + DisplayPort 1.2

The Acer KA242Y P6bip is a 23.8-inch Full HD IPS desktop monitor that runs 1920 x 1080 at a 144Hz refresh rate with 1ms VRB response and AMD FreeSync, built for home and office users who want smoother motion than a standard 60Hz screen without moving up to a dedicated gaming display. It carries the Acer part number UM.QX2EE.601 and belongs to the KA2 Essential line, pairing a 178°/178° IPS panel with 250 cd/m² brightness, a 1,500:1 static contrast ratio and 99% sRGB coverage. Connectivity is deliberately simple — one HDMI 1.4 input and one DisplayPort 1.2 input — and the chassis is a slim three-side borderless design in matte black with a 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.

Compatibility — check before buying:

This model has no built-in speakers and no headphone output — plan for separate desk speakers or a headset connected to your PC. There is also no VGA/D-Sub port: the HDMI + VGA version of this chassis is the separate part UM.QX2EE.609 (KA242Y P6bi), and the speaker-equipped version is a non-EU part. Only an HDMI cable is supplied in the box, so add a DisplayPort cable if you intend to use the DP input. To actually reach 144Hz you need a graphics output capable of 1920 x 1080 at 144Hz — both HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2 can carry it at this resolution, but the refresh rate must be selected manually in Windows Display Settings or your GPU control panel after connecting.

Best For

✓ Home and office desks upgrading from an ageing 60Hz or 75Hz screen

✓ Casual and after-hours gaming where 144Hz matters more than colour grading

✓ Dual-monitor setups thanks to the slim three-side borderless bezels

✓ Students and general productivity work at native Full HD scaling

✓ Wall or arm mounting via the standard 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern

✓ Buyers who want IPS viewing angles rather than a cheaper TN panel

Key Features

144Hz IPS panel

An in-plane switching panel delivers 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles and 99% sRGB coverage, so colours stay consistent off-axis — combined with a 144Hz refresh rate that more than doubles the motion smoothness of a standard 60Hz office monitor.

1ms VRB and AMD FreeSync

Visual Response Boost strobes the backlight to sharpen fast motion, while AMD FreeSync synchronises the monitor to your graphics card to remove tearing and stutter. Acer does not publish a FreeSync range for this model, so treat the supported window as the panel range reported by your GPU driver.

Full HD clarity at 23.8 inches

1920 x 1080 across a 60.5 cm diagonal gives a 0.275 mm pixel pitch — text and UI elements stay legible at 100% scaling with no need for Windows display scaling, which is why this size and resolution pairing remains the office standard.

Slim, efficient and mount-ready

A three-side borderless chassis with a 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern suits multi-monitor walls and arms, and the EU energy label rates it class D with 14.0 W declared on-mode power, dropping to 0.5 W in standby.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Acer KA242Y P6bip have built-in speakers?

No. This EU part (UM.QX2EE.601) has no speakers and no 3.5 mm headphone output at all, so audio must come from your PC, separate desk speakers or a headset plugged into the computer. The confusion comes from other regional versions of the same KA242Y chassis that do include 4 W speakers — those carry different Acer part numbers and are not this SKU.

Can I really run it at 144Hz over HDMI?

Yes. At 1920 x 1080 both the HDMI 1.4 and the DisplayPort 1.2 input have enough bandwidth for 144Hz, so either cable works. Windows defaults new displays to 60Hz, so after connecting go to Settings, System, Display, Advanced display and set the refresh rate to 144Hz manually — otherwise you are paying for a 144Hz panel and running it at 60Hz.

Is this a gaming monitor or an office monitor?

Acer positions the KA2 line as its Essential home and office range, but this particular part adds 144Hz, 1ms VRB and AMD FreeSync — specs normally found on entry gaming screens. In practice it is a productivity monitor that handles casual gaming well. If you want a purpose-built gaming display with a wider colour gamut, a faster panel and a height-adjustable stand, look at a dedicated gaming model instead.

What do I need to know before buying the KA242Y P6bip?

Three things. The stand tilts only, from -5° to +25°, with no height, swivel or pivot adjustment — use the 100 x 100 mm VESA mount if you need ergonomic positioning. There is no VGA port, so older analogue-only PCs need an adapter or the separate UM.QX2EE.609 version. And only an HDMI cable is supplied, so budget for a DisplayPort cable if you plan to use that input.

Singular Expert Insight

The KA242Y P6bip sits in an interesting gap: it is priced and positioned as an everyday office screen, yet it carries the 144Hz refresh rate and FreeSync support that used to be the dividing line between office and gaming panels. For a desk that is used for work first and games second, that is the most useful place to spend money — you get visibly smoother scrolling and window dragging all day long, plus tear-free play in the evening. What you give up versus a true gaming display is stand ergonomics (tilt only), colour gamut (99% sRGB rather than wide-gamut DCI-P3) and any HDR capability, which the EU energy fiche confirms is simply not implemented here. If you need a height-adjustable stand or USB-C docking, browse the wider PC monitors range; and if your current PC cannot output 1080p at 144Hz, our graphics cards section is where to solve that before blaming the monitor.

Buyer’s Guide

Buy it if

You want a 23.8-inch Full HD IPS screen with a genuine 144Hz refresh rate and FreeSync at an everyday price, you connect over HDMI or DisplayPort, and you either mount it on an arm or are happy with tilt-only adjustment.

Skip it if

You need built-in speakers, a headphone jack, a VGA input, USB-C docking, HDR or a height-adjustable stand — none of which this part provides. Also skip it if you work in colour-critical print or video and need wide-gamut coverage beyond 99% sRGB.

Also consider

The UM.QX2EE.609 (KA242Y P6bi) adds a VGA input for older systems. For 21.5-inch alternatives with speakers, the Philips 222V8LA/00 or the iiyama ProLite XU2293HS-B6 are both worth comparing.
