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

I bought my first of this monitor roughly a year ago. I noticed a couple months into having it that it had a dead pixel in the bottom left corner. No big deal - it happens. Having wanted to get a second monitor, anyway, I ordered a new one of the same kind, replaced the one I had with it, and sent the original in for repair. It took about six weeks, with COVID and all, but it eventually came back. While I was waiting, however, the replacement unit developed a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. It was quick enough that Amazon was able to ship me a replacement, which Ive been running for about a month now. Now THAT replacement has a dead pixel, also in the middle of the screen, and its outside the return period this time. Im at my wits end with these things. The picture is great for the price, the HDR is nice, and itd be a huge step up from what I was using if they didnt ALL have dead pixels.

Love the high resolution and refresh rate. This is my first gaming monitor, huge step up from 1080p60hz

I ordered the 1440p model. When I connected it in windows it defaults to 4K. Refresh rate is 29hz. When I choose 1440p refresh rate is 59hz. When I tried 1080p refresh rate was 60hz. I bought this to game in and am switching from an ASUS 1080p 144hz 1ms monitor. This monitor makes me nauseous with its low refresh. I am using an HDMI cable for the moment until the display port cable is delivered. That may be my problem. ****UPDATED**** After much tinkering in windows and the monitor, I was able to make it all work so much better. The dp cable is great too. It’s got a fast response and great color now. Not going to say certain fast paced FPS are totally clear when flicking around, but pretty much acceptable and the rest of the benefits outweigh. My old asus monitor wasn’t much better but is blown away in every other department. Movies are much nicer to watch on this by far. Gaming is better in 99% of games. I’ve put many hours on this monitor now and can recommend. - other people talk about flicker, I haven’t seen any. UPDATE ********** three months later and the flicker has appeared. It like a strobe like and is nauseating. Move on to the exit monitor unless you are ok with spending money on a piece of trash.

This is the first one I bought (5/2020). 2nd one I bought from another vendor (9/2021). I use it for work, photo editing, a little video work, and watching streaming services. Very happy with the monitors. I recently (1/2022) got a monitor tree to mount them to have them at a more ergonomic height. What vexed me is the VESA mounting hole werent all M4 threaded. On the Amazon monitor one hole wasnt M4 and Im pretty sure I cross threaded it getting the M4 screw in there. On the other monitor the bottom two holes I could not get M4 screws in at all. What worked were #6-32 3/4 screws. What the heck Acer? Somebodys manufacturing quality controls are off.

Great monitor for price. Has 4K for consoles and videos and 2k and 1080p with high refresh rates for pc gaming. Stand is a bit weak and I got a blue one which doesn’t match the desk I ordered but it’s whatever since I’m probably going to replace it with a better stand. Will update this review if anything changes after a month or two

I couldn’t adjust the height for this moniter. The picture quality for this moniter is bad too.

As a basic monitor, its fantastic. At maximum resolution the screen is bright, crystal clear, with much better colors than the one it replaced. It handles games and such without bleed or artifacts, with one condition. It does NOT handle 144Hz, as advertised. More specifically, you can set the resolution to that level, but I get white artifacting (read other, less forgiving reviews for more details.) This is a common problem, though not on every monitor, but Acer has not acknowledged the problem or offered a fix other than return it, and hope you do better with the next one. which is a hassle, leaves you without a monitor, and provides no guarantee the next one will be better. I have set it to 120Hz, and while there is minor artifacting there, its so infrequent for me to say its not worth mentioning. So its a great monitor, but for $350 or so, I cant recommend it without a path from the company to fixing the problem. One more note: HDR is very washed out, but from the little research Ive done, that may be my issue not the monitors. There seem to be times to use HDR and not, which I havent spent a lot of time on figuring out. Im listing it here as a possible issue, but not making it part of my overall review.

Make sure you have a strong enough graphics card to drive this. Works great if that is there!

Good 2k monitor for gaming and surfing the internet.

Great for people who like rich colors. The pixel response time on this monitor is what made me return it after just a week. The description claims 4ms response with the VRB mode enabled but I know for sure that it wasn’t that fast because of the evident screen smear and ghosting. I was going to use this monitor as a replacement for a 144hz 1080p TN panel also from acer but ended up returning this one to amazon and picking up a comparable dell TN panel.
