acerNitro 27 Inch WQHD 2560 x 1440 IPS Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync | Up to 180Hz Refresh | Up to 0.5ms | DCI-P3 95% | HDR 10 Support | One Display Port 1.2 & Two HDMI 2.0 | KG271U N3bmiipx

The media could not be loaded. This is a review after 3 months of usage, spoiler alert, I’m pretty happy with it.*I bought this 27inch 1440p 180Hz (KG271U N3bmiipx) monitor for around 170 usd with offer and taxes.Pros:1. 2K, very fast 180hz refresh rate, with built in speakers for 170 USD.2. Pretty high color range (DCI-P3 95%), not verified, but to naked eye, love the vivid colour accurate display, this was important to me.3. IPS screen, meaning good viewing angles, also important for good viewing experience.4. Decent HDR for an IPS LCD budget monitor.5. Didn't notice any flickering.Reasons for asterisk:1. In standard or other modes, even when set to 100, brightness feels low in well lit environments. Turning HDR mode on solves this issue, probably because of increased peak brightness, but this makes it too bright in dark environments, you won't be able to adjust screen brightness in HDR mode. Switching between standard and HDR mode felt a little tedious.2. Overshooting is noticeable to naked eye if overdrive setting is set as extreme. Recommend setting it to minimum, or off, then it’s not at all noticeable.3. Speakers are like what you’d expect in your typical gaming monitors. Pretty mediocre, will get the job done. They lack any base or instrument clarity or separation. In movies or songs, vocals are pretty crisp, but the background music sounds pretty low. Could be solved with headphones or speakers.4. HDMI connections only supports upto 144hz.5. Lack of height adjustment for stand.6. Felt like a thick monitor, build quality is decent, all plastic, does not give you premium feels, but good for it's price.At this point you might be thinking, why did this guy give 5 stars when the cons list is bigger than pros. It's because I compared this with similarly priced Sansui ESA-G27F6Q and Arzopa M1RC side by side, and overall Acer seemed like the best pick in this price range.

Love love love this monitor. Affordable and looks great. Fits perfectly on my desk. Functions good!

Amazing picture, color is amazing, no flickering , screen size is perfect for me, easy set up, light weight, very affordable.

It has fantastic response times and a decent refresh rate, but that's it. No VESA mount. Clearly below standard "IPS" viewing angles. HDR is barely passable. It's def worth the money for gaming because of the refresh rate and response time but it's only marginally better image quality for desktop performance to a similarly priced 1080p 75hrz monitor with better viewing angles.

this monitor is so great, the picture is bright and very clear, the fps is amazing and my games look so smooth. the size is perfect, i just finished silent hill 2 and it looked soo good!!

An amazing monitor, the color is perfect and also easy to install if you have an arm to play it is the best I have had an excellent response and

First, they sent me a defective screen with a dead pixel and very aggressive backlight bleed. The second one they sent me had a dead pixel in a different spot and way more aggressive backlight bleed. The third one they sent me had no dead pixel, and still pretty aggressive backlight bleed, but at least it doesn't have a dead pixel. I'm so tired of RMA that I just stuck with the least crappy option, I guess. Do not buy from them, they will send you bad product.

Great picture when set to the right resolution (display setting in Windows) , graphic mode (set with buttons on rear of monitor, take it out of eco mode and pick the graphic mode you think works best), and set the refresh rate (set to the highest 165 in windows display settings). Videos look awesome, sharp, clear, smooth with great contrast. The high refresh rate make videos in 720 look sharper and clearer.If you decide to purchase I will save you a little effort figuring out the buttons on the back of the monitor and how to use them, since you will find nothing that does in the box. The main thing...the little round knob like button below the other buttons. It is a menu controller and by pushing it in to activate it, you can then gently push up, down, left or right on the side of the knob to move around the menu. Once you got that, figuring everything out becomes easy. But if you don't know you will end up like me having to fiddle around for fifteen minutes before catching on. The monitor base is not great but it works, just make sure that the monitor is appropriately fitted to the base. It does tilt but does not turn.I bought it for high resolution videos, and for that this monitor is great.
