What is the difference between SA0 and HA0 series monitors apart from physical design?

I'm very confused between two monitors. One belong to SA0 series and another to HA0 series.

Full model names are HA220Q and SA220Q (see photo attached).

I compared their specs on Amazon and most of the things look same. Even the user manual have same specs. Only color difference is what I noticed. Technical specs look same.

So I don't understand what's even the difference between these two series SA0 and HA0? That will help me make a better decision.

Note: You can see both series listed here (will need to scroll down or search for "SA0" and "HA0"): Gaming Monitors & Computer Monitors (acer.com)

While the SA is an older model, it seems to have more input ports and audio capability than the HA. Otherwise, they're nearly identical. At 250 nites, max screen brightness isn't that great for either of them. Go this link for detailed comparison. If it was my choice, I'd probably pick the SA. Appears cheaper too. 🙂 https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/b1088aa7f.

Thanks. And any idea about SB0? E.g. Sb220q? Is it better than Sa0?

The isse with your question rises because Acer ships a bunch of different SKUs for each model line. We can give you an overview, but things like ports installed are SKY specific, not all models in the line will have the same ones loaded. Same for speakers and often specs like Freesync or G-Sync...

Here's a comparison of all three. While the SB is the newest model, it's virtually identical. While there might be marginal gaming performance differences, I'd still probably pick the older SA220q due to the added port flexibilities and lower cost if it was my choice.
