A 23.8-inch Full HD IPS panel with 144Hz refresh and 1ms response - the budget gaming monitor that finally makes high-refresh smoothness affordable.
Overview
Under Rs 10,000, gaming monitors used to mean compromises - usually a dim VA panel with smeary motion. The Acer Nitro VG240Y X1 ends that era: a 144Hz IPS panel with 1ms visual response boost, AMD FreeSync, and colours that stay true from any seat. For CS2, Valorant or BGMI on a monitor, the 144Hz jump over 60Hz is the single biggest upgrade you can feel.
Honest limits: 250 nits brightness struggles in sun-drenched rooms, the stand tilts but does not lift (VESA wall-mount is supported), and the built-in speakers are decoration.
Against the similarly-priced LG Ultragear, the Acer edges brightness and price; the LG wins on stand ergonomics and service reach. Either way, the entry-gaming-monitor problem is solved - pick by brand preference and stop researching.

Buying Advice

Product Description
The 144Hz question answers itself the first time you play on one: everything from camera pans to flick shots simply stops stuttering. What made this tier interesting is IPS panels arriving at the price - because 144Hz with washed-out colours was the old trap, and the VG240Y X1 sidesteps it.
- 23.8-inch Full HD IPS, 144Hz - fast refresh with proper colour and 178-degree viewing angles; it doubles as a truly good work and video monitor.
- 1ms visual response boost - the overdrive mode sharpens motion during fast pans without the smearing that cheap overdrive causes.
- AMD FreeSync - synchronises with AMD and Nvidia cards alike, eliminating tearing without performance cost.
- HDR10-ready, flicker-free, low blue light - the comfort features that matter across long sessions.
- Slim bezels - built with a second-monitor future in mind.
Connections cover HDMI and VGA (useful for older PCs and consoles). The 4.3-star listing reflects what buyers discover: at this price, nothing meaningful is missing.
Pairing advice: this screen deserves a mouse and controller that keep up - see the gaming peripheral roundups, or jump straight to the PowerA controller pick for console-style play. For a first proper gaming setup under Rs 50,000, this monitor is the centrepiece the guide keeps recommending.
