MONITOR Acer Nitro 27in QHD 2560x1440 IPS 240Hz Gaming XV272U W2bmiiprx

For starters, the Acer brand has never let me down as far as quality and performance goes. I have a Acer CB242Y as my secondary monitor that has lasted for YEARS and still performs like new. I also tried their XFA 23.8” model that was great as well but I recently upgraded GPUs so I have 2K gaming capability now and decided to stay within the brand family and give this model a shot. Monitor shopping definitely seems to be a gamble, this model I received is excellent. Great color/ picture quality. Frames are fast and smooth. IPS light bleed at the edges exists (you’ll never get an IPS display that doesn’t have it) albeit, very minimally which is nice to see. The size is great for most gaming, like single player immersive story AND competitive PVPs like first / third person shooters. I have not experienced any visual anomalies like dead pixels or flickering. Though I will update my review should anything happen. I also like that this monitor has DP 1.4 connection, idk why it seems like all these gaming monitors are running 1.2. Console players beware, this is a HDMI 2.0 monitor so it may not provide you the latest and greatest performance for gaming through that port.

Recently upgraded to this monitor for gaming and the picture is amazing. I did have to adjust the brightness as I found it a bit too dark with factory settings. Using the display port and so far zero issues. Highly recommend.

Monitor is great, I believe I purchased it on discount so got a nice deal. This is the nicest monitor I've owned so far and I can tell the difference. For reference my old monitor was capped at 60hz.

Fantastic monitor for the price and I love how it has built in speakers!!

I purchased the 240hz version of this monitor for $230 during a Black Friday sale. Upon setting up the monitor, I immediately noticed a large amount of backlight bleed in the bottom-left and bottom-right corner of the display. Upon comparing this IPS display to 3 VA displays in my possession (2 Dells, 1 HP), I can safely say that none of the VA displays have this issue (at least no where close to this extent). I contacted an Amazon customer support agent who told me that a UPS delivery driver would be by to replace the defective monitor, and that I would receive a confirmation email containing further details. This confirmation email never came, so I decided to reach back out to Amazon who told me that previously mentioned exchange would not be possible and that I would have to ship the monitor back off myself in order to receive a refund. Before returning the monitor and potentially losing the Black Friday discount that I'd purchased it with, I decided to contact Acer directly to see if I could get the display replaced through them. After filling out and submitting a long form needed for the repair of the monitor, I received a confirmation email that included shipping instructions. During my review of the instructions, I determined that not only was Acer was instructing me to pay for shipping, but they also recommended that I purchase *postal insurance* for the defective monitor that I had just purchased a week prior. Upon reviewing my options, I determined that since getting it replaced through Amazon would not be an option, and that getting it replaced through Acer would not be financially viable, I would have to reorder another of the same monitor, and return the defective one for a refund (since at this point it was still the same price). Finally, after going questing to get the defective monitor returned to UPS and get the replacement in my possession, I unboxed and plugged the replacement monitor in. Unfortunately, the replacement monitor had the **exact** same problem as the previous one, and it was immediately noticeable upon powering on the display. I now have the replacement monitor set to be picked up for return tomorrow. I have since looked at the reviews (as well as their pictures) more carefully than I had initially, and I can confidently say that many other reviewers have been experiencing the exact same issue to varying degrees, as well as few other consistent issues. There were even some who posted pictures of defective backlight-bleeding displays who were not even aware of or had not yet identified the issue. The main selling point of an IPS display is that is has a ~180 degree viewing angle, while a VA display doesn't. Yet somehow due to backlight bleed, both of my displays that I've received do not even possess a viewing angle equivalent to a VA display, let alone the 180 degree viewing angle that is listed for the product. Even if I somehow manage to get my hands on a version of this display that actually functions as advertised (as some lucky souls have), there is no way to guarantee that said replacement wouldn't start encountering many of the screen-burn-in or dead-pixel issues that many of the reviewers have encountered a few months after purchase. I can safely say that this experience highlights just how terrible Acer's quality control really is. As a result, I will never be purchasing another Acer monitor ever again. This entire experience has been a huge waste of time and I hope others don't make the same mistake I did.

Beautiful picture, great stand, comes with both display port and HDMI cables and a proper plug with ground connection. The blacks are deep and the colors are vivid. A little bright out of the box, but easily configured. There's a tiny amount of backlight bleed in one corner, but it's barely noticable and doesn't impact my usage. I'm loving the fact that the stand is adjustable in height, tilts, and rotates. Just got it today, but I'm very happy with the product.

The monitor looks nice and performs well. The viewing angles are good and it was bright enough for my son's room. We didn't have any trouble utilizing the high refresh rate features when connecting to his laptop. Unfortunately our unit had a couple stuck pixels and some excessive light bleed from one of the backlight LEDs. Maybe we just got a bad unit. Would love to have kept it if it weren't for those issues.

Big con at the end. I'm upgrading from a 23inch HD monitor, the Samsung Odyssey to be specific, which was a great monitor, but this one is a huge upgrade. I was honestly thinking of returning it if I didn't see much of a difference, but it's crazy how much nicer this one is, the qhd at 27inches is absolutely perfect. HOWEVER I specifically purchased this monitor because of the HDMI 2.1, and this monitor has 2.0 NOT 2.1! Which is misleading. I am so impressed with everything else though, so as of right now im definitely keeping the monitor, but it is not HDMI 2.1 so if your planning on connecting this to a console, you will not get all the features you would expect.

Excelente monitor llegó muy bien sin ningún detalle, ya casi el año y sin ningún problema lo recomiendo al 100%

Good monitor for the price

Era un poco escéptico de comprar este monitor porque no hay reseñas prácticamente en Mexico, pero me sorprendió muchísimo, la resolución es una diferencia que se nota demasiado no te vas a arrepentir y no vas a querer volver a 1080p, la fluidez de imagen, bueno son 240hz y la respuesta es 0,5ms muy buena y no se ve ghosting, cosa que pasa con paneles baratos como panel VA, 240hz es el estándar perfecto para eSports ya que 360 es mucho mas caro y no hay casi diferencia hasta que vas hasta 540hz 5000mxn por un monitor así de bueno es muy competitivo, pero claro tiene una desventaja, y donde bajaron el costo es en el sonido de los altavoces, el cual es el peor que he escuchado pero nada que ver con lo que es un monitor, pero claro creo que el 99% de la gente usa audífonos o altavoces externos como yo entonces lo recomendaría 100% si juegas shooters o eSports por la fluidez y la calidad, compra perfecta la verdad

My son is a gamer and he researched this monitor. So far he’s happy.

I bought the product and it's been 1 month and a half and I just notice a really small dead pixel "always Green" on my screen. Now it is too late to refund with amazon.
