Acer KG271Ubmiippx 27 Inch WQHD Gaming Monitor, Black (TN Panel, FreeSync, 1ms, ZeroFrame, DP, HDMI)

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.

Thought I would share a few words on this monitor (Acer KG251QDbmiipx) I bought this monitor for gaming and coming from a 60Hz refresh rate you can see the difference. In order to get the 240Hz refresh rate you need to have both the right cable and the right graphics card. I tried first with my existing graphics card but it turned out that the DisplayPort version on that graphics card was too old and did only support 120Hz, later I bough a new graphics card and this had the required DisplayPort version 1.4 (+ a new DP to DP cable) which did give me that 240Hz refresh rate I had been looking for.The reason for giving 4 out of 5 stars is that even though the screen is great for gaming it is not as good for other uses. If you are looking for a screen with accurate colour 's, sharpness or contrast for say: editing photographs, or others similar task you should be aware that this might not be your best option.But don't get me wrong, if your looking for a gaming monitor I can only say "Thumb's up, go for it"

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...

This monitor (27 inch 144Hz version) is great especially for playing games at 1440p. I have it paired with a rtx 3080 and have had no issues. The only problem I have with the monitor is there is a little white light (picture provided) which appears to be a defect on the bottom right of the screen. At first I thought it was dust or something else but it appears to just be some light leaking through the monitor for some reason. However, it is only really noticeable if you are looking for it and so I don't mind it too much.

Absolutely Love it colors are great and works Terrific with my Xbox one s at 1440p setting. Input lag is no more with this as it will rapidly detect motion and quickly refreshes the on screen action with the 1ms fast response time. My last post i stated that the Xbox one s wouldn't recognise this was 1440p capable and hence why i was so mad, But having a ponder around the web for no answers i tried to see where i was going wrong with the settings myself but to no avail. So quickly jumping to conclusions to the type of HDMI i was using and BINGO i found out it wasn't capable of supporting anything over 1080p which proved to be the fact after using a HDMI i received with the sky q kit it works a charm and Gives out the 1440p resolution on Xbox one s....So if you are wondering if it is true this monitor is WQHD 1440p Take it from a guy who was skeptical up to now and Buy, You cannot go wrong best decision I've made in a long time! Also state that yes it is coming to Xbox one s and Xbox one x 1440p support and free-sync reason i jumped to upgrade ;)
