They were always a pretty cheap brand IMO, but pretty reliable.

Source: typing this on an Acer monitor that I've had for... 10 years? It kind of looks like crap, but it works and no dead pixels, so that's cool.

I had a nicer Acer monitor that I replaced with a similar Samsung model about a year ago. I still kinda miss the Acer. Both were 32" curved LCD and 1440p. The Acer had a much more uniform curve to it, and the Samsung has a bunch of firmware issues that sometimes can only be worked around by unplugging it and power cycling it that way. The only reason I "upgraded" was the Samsung had better support for PS5 and scaling 4K inputs down to the native 1440p without artifacts.
