Acer Gaming Monitor 27” KG271 Cbmidpx 1920 x 1080 144Hz Refresh Rate AMD FREESYNC Technology (Display Port, HDMI & DVI Ports)

Im happy with the monitor, but there are a few things that I havent liked about it. I would definitely purchase it again though, for the price it is amazing. The only major problem that I have had with the monitor is a single dead pixel that was present at first startup. I havent got around to pursuing a replacement/fix, which I plan to do very soon, but depending on how the process goes I may lower the score a bit. Pros: -Refresh rates are as advertised. -Very smooth and clear picture. -Bright display. -Great packaging. -Easy assembly. -VERY sturdy construction (dont put this on a flimsy desk). -Stand is nicely adjustable in all directions, and base is wide and stable. Cons: -The entire thing put together will take up a decent portion of most desks. -A single dead pixel upon delivery. -The speakers are worthless. -Throws off some heat. The screen itself isnt hot, but this running with my PC basically heats my room during winter. -Disappointing, but it does NOT have any kind of eye-care technology. Eye strain is a thing with this monitor, but Ive gotten used to it.

I have been gaming on 60Hz panels for a long time so I went with this monitor as an upgrade. The difference is night and day between the two in gaming. I think the biggest drawback of this monitor is the fact that its a TN panel with mediocre color accuracy and not so great viewing angles. The colors can be calibrated a bit in the Nvidia control panel though so it isnt a big deal. I would definitely say this is worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone looking into getting a higher refresh rate monitor.

I do light gaming and a lot of video editing. Blacks look nice on this monitor and the brightness is great. I wish there was a height adjustment, but it only has a tilt feature. People are having a bit of trouble with FREESYNC and it is true. FREESYNC did work for me in the first few months but it stopped working after that. I know there is a way to fix it with some drivers from ACER, but I just never bothered. The monitor does say that it can support 144Hz but I am only able to get a max of 75Hz. I know it has something to do with the FREESYNC, but I just never bothered because I dont really notice any ghosting when I play games or when I am working on videos. If you want to have a decent monitor then this is the one for you. If you are a snob about video quality then go with the ACER Predator series.

A relatively inexpensive monitor (especially when on sale) that offers good picture quality and a fast refresh rate of 144hz. Pros: The screen is coated with a matte finish that helps to eliminate reflections 100 x 100 VESA holes for mounting an incorrectly named Black Boost feature (should have been named shadow boost) which increases visibility within shadows Easy to use front-facing controls for the very user-friendly OSD menu 1ms response time low blue light filter Cons: Tilt-only, No rotation or height adjustment TN panel looks good when sitting in front of it but viewing angles are limited. Also, if you plan on using this monitor for photo editing or creation using tools like Photoshop, I would recommend a comparable IPS display instead. TN panels suffer from color shifting which means the colors arent always uniform depending on the angle you are viewing. This is normal for TN panels and shouldnt affect gaming. 4-watt speakers are a joke and sound horrible. Free-sync only Overall, a great monitor especially for the price that allows for faster refresh rate gaming with good contrast that wont break your budget.
