Acer Nitro VG271U Pbmiipx 27 WQHD (2560 x 1440) IPS AMD Radeon FREESYNC Gaming Monitor, 144Hz, VESA Certified Display HDR400, DCI-P3, (2 HDMI 2.0 & 1 Display Port), Black

Not recommended

The quality is good except for a glaring defect. Theres a large oval shaped discoloration in the screen that I didnt notice at first because you cant see it in webpages with white backgrounds, but as soon as you watch a movie thats dark in color or most video games, its hard to not look at.

This monitor has stopped functioning recently, and now I am in the market for a new one. I bought this monitor in June 2019, and it is currently January 2023. That means it has lasted almost exactly 3.5 years. I was watching YouTube yesterday, and all of a sudden, a vertical stripe of my monitor became deepfried (appears to have very low color depth). Its in the center of the monitor, goes from top to bottom, and the region effected is approximately 400 pixels wide. I am disappointed because this is an expensive product, and I have older monitors that I still use regularly and still work fine. My second monitor is a BenQ XL2411 which has been working perfectly since I bought it in 2016. I have another Dell monitor that I no longer use because it is so old that it only has VGA and DVI inputs, but it also still functions perfectly. I got that one in 2012. Overall, the experience of using this monitor was great, but its definitely of lower quality than its competitors. It appears to be selling for $299 at the time of writing this, but personally, I probably wouldnt pay more than $150. I am baffled that its selling for that much when there are cheaper and better alternatives. In summary, this monitor was okay while it lasted, but it is on the lower end of the quality spectrum, and I am disappointed that it has failed after only 3.5 years. I cant rate this product more than 3 stars, and if I had to describe it in one word, I would say, mediocre.

It would be way better if they make the adjust of the brightness is easy to change

This is a great monitor, I turned on Metro Exodus and my jaw dropped with how pretty everything was. If youre used to 1080 at 60hz youre really in for a treat. I have heard that the mount sucks but I never used it as I picked up a VESA mount that worked really well.

A little over two years of ownership and active use this monitor shows nothing but quality. Picture is great and refresh rate performs as advertised. Very good for the typical consumer trying to get a higher refresh rate and screen resolution.

Good 2k monitor for gaming and surfing the internet.

Beautiful right out of the box and worth every penny. This is my first day with it and I love it. Im using it for my nintendo switch and smash bros looks amazing. Cant wait to see splatoon and others. The colors pop and brightness is very good! If anything changes I will update.

Great 1440p monitor for gaming. Vivid colors with a good amount of brightness behind it. However, I recently installed this monitor about a week ago and it already has a dead pixel. I dont know what caused it be it is a little anooying when I play games with a dark setting.

-Factory set at 170hz (wonderful surprise) -IPS panel with wonderful and accurate color -HDR option available (not important to me, but nice that its there) -Huge 27 monitor w/native 1440p resolution makes for a stunning photo with sharp images and text -Great viewing angles -Can get very bright. I have it set at 90% brightness(360 nits I believe?) and its more than acceptable to me. At both well lit daytime or middle of the night Only downside is the stand. It can wobble if you shake your legs during some downtime or if you have restless legs. But this can be remedied with the monitors being VESA mounted. 5/5 stars, planning on buying a third one when a 3080 inevitably becomes available.
