ZZA Z245A 24.5"
72 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews
The ZZA monitor generally receives positive feedback for its sharp display, high refresh rate up to 300Hz, and good value for the price. However, there are notable issues: one unit failed after a few months, the stand is reported as faulty by some users, and it lacks built-in speakers and RGB lighting. Overall, it is a solid budget gaming monitor with some quality control concerns.
