Acer KG281KAbmiipx 28 inch UHD Gaming Monitor - (TN Panel, FreeSync, 60Hz, 1ms, HDR Ready, DP, HDMI, Black)

It took me a while to review this monitor because I wanted to use it for some time before I do that.This is one of the best monitors for the price. I got it on sale at approximately 220 euros on June 2019, so that was a real bargain at the time.Lightning fast panel, good quality for the price except the settings buttons which are plastic but work very well, 2 HDMI and 1 DP port and it is a very good looking. The stand is a nice three legged one that holds the monitor steady even if you move the desk but there is no usb hub.Now lets go to the color reproduction. Out of the box the monitor is extremely bright, like most TN 240 hz panels and the colors are not good, they seem too washed out. You will need to play with the settings and lower the brightness a lot.to get it to the right level according to what is suitable for you.Once you do this, the colors will be really good for a TN panel, surprisingly good I would say. In my opinion I can barely notice the difference from my IPS LG 29UM58 second monitor. From what I have seen in reviews they are almost identical to the Alienware AW2518H or HF but I think the quality of the Alienware is a bit better. Viewing angles are perfect, I have no issue watching my son playing sitting next to him or a bit further away on my PC.The speakers are an addition I would never use, the sound is too low no matter how high you set the volume at.Acer needs to work on their menus though and especially on their navigation system. The 5 button implementation does not work help a lot and it makes it hard to navigate through the options. They should just use a small joystick like LG does.Overall, a great option for 240hz gaming, very fast TN panel, no ghosting and a ideal for competitive gaming (Fortnite, Overwatch, CS:GO). Just make sure your PC is good enough to hit as many FPS as possible.If you are mostly playing single player games, this one is not the best option as you will not be utilizing it to the maximum, better settle for a 144hz one (IPS, VA or TN), maybe for a larger screen or a higher resolution. There are many options out there.

I did an incredible amount of research into monitors prior to this purchase. I read every single horror story and opinion available on the Internet and was well prepared for the worst possible outcome.However, this monitor has been amazing since arrival! I've had it for about 4 months and I have had no issues whatsoever. The picture is fantastic and after upgrading from a 24" Tesco TV which was only HD Ready (not full HD) to a 1440p 27" Monitor, I was blown away.I can't see the point in having a 144hz+ refresh monitor as at 1440p nothing really runs that fast (at my budget anyway!). 75hz is more than I'll ever need for games like Assassins Creed or other open-world games. Although, saying this, it absolutely smashes titles like Rainbow Six Siege and other first-person shooters (coming from a big R6s fan!).Either way, this monitor looks great, has great performance and seems to be very reliable/robust! Not to mention good warrenty, etc.

Without going into too much detail above and beyond what others have commented. The monitor is very good for the price and 1440p hits the sweet spot for 27" monitors, AMD freesync is nice and for me 75" Hz is sufficient on the Acer KG271Ubmiippx as I primarily bought this for gaming on 3 monitors where I rarely will exceed 75FPS.The 1 issue. 3 monitors with any kind of angle of the outer monitors and the bezels are not flush. This is because what it doesn't say is that the bottom bezel sticks out about 1cm (not sure why as it doesn't seem to serve any purpose). When you then try and rotate the outer monitors inwards to create the wrap around effect you end up with a space between the centre monitor and the outer two monitors, there is no easy fix for this.This isn't a fault of the monitor, more how I intend to use 3 of them . Hope this is useful for anybody thinking of creating a cheap 3 monitor setup, it may be best looking elsewhere...

The monitor is great.As a 3D artist it means I can see everything clearly.For gaming it's great also.The only problem with it is it can be a tiny bit too contrasty.But, that's not a massively big deal which is why I docked it one star.(If I had the ability to do so, I'd only dock it half a star)But, well worth the price.EDITI've been using this monitor for a while now, and I have to say I still love it.I bought a second monitor since I liked it so much.And further to my previous writing, it doesn't feel contrasty anymore.A bit more playing with the settings and it now looks great.I use it on 2560 x 1440 for both monitors, which allows me to do all mymodelling, texturing and such in great detail.Would like to get a third, but, my desk doesn't have enough room to do so currently.

Had it for around 3 months now, 144Hz is incredible for games (compatible with Nvidia G-Sync) and general desktop browsing is very fluid. I use a dual monitor setup with my old 60Hz monitor and the difference is beyond night and day. Picture quality is great once you find the right balance of settings. No dead pixels to speak of, however note that the monitor stand is not height adjustable and can only tilt up or down through manual adjustment of the base which isn't ideal. Speakers are a nice bonus however the sound quality is sub-par but expected for monitors such as this. I mainly use headphones connected to my PC therefore it isn't an issue personally. Overall I am extremely happy with the purchase, but would recommend waiting for a sale as I was able to get it for around £150 cheaper than usual on Black Friday.

Well what can I say... this display is simply amazing. Not only for the price, but there's not too many monitors out there I could find that best suited me. What I love most is the specs. 144hz, 1ms refresh rate, HD 1080 - what more could you ask for. While it might be a TN panel rather than IPS, (some might be put of by that), it does not bother me as everything else that's built into the monitor, is superb for 2019, and not too expensive.
