acer Nitro 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.

Decent monitor, great value. Worked perfectly, good color.

I've used this monitor for months and I love it. Great colors, speed, and features

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.

Great monitor. My first Acer product was an Acer Predator laptop and I was impressed with the screen, which influenced me to get this 2K monitor for my recent gaming build. The design is great. Speakers are so-so but I don't know anyone who actually uses monitor speakers. Coming from a laptop and 24 inch monitor, this monitor seemed huge my first 2 weeks. I have adjusted to it since then, but I got rid of my old 2nd monitor and just use side-by-side windows since I have enough resolution. No dead pixels or any flaws. Best monitor I've purchased so far.

I have used this monitor for less than 5 hours and there is a dead pixel already. I checked the warenty and believed I qualified for a repair or replacement of the product. Acer doesn't repair or replace unless there are more than 5 dead pixels. I understand that for someone who has had it for more than a year or so, but I just got this less than a week ago. The warranty also says they don't cover "results of normal use" so even though I'm covered for three years of the warranty I suspect when the monitor inevitably produces more dead pixels within the three years they will say it's a sign of normal use. I was under the impression that Acer was a reputable brand, but I'm very disappointed to say the least.

I’m loving my monitor! I think it has a beautifully clear and crispy image quality. And for me, the 27’ is perfect for my space and what I want to do with my computer. I had originally gotten a 24’ 1080p screen, and it just wasn’t doing it for me. But this one feels like 4K. I really can’t tell the difference between 4K and this.
