Acer Nitro XV272U Vbmiiprx 27 Zero-Frame WQHD 2560 x 1440 Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | Agile-Splendor IPS | Overclock to 170Hz | Up to 0.5ms | 95% DCI-P3 | 1 x Display Port & 2 x HDMI 2.0

I was shopping for a monitor since I have been laptop gamer for my entire gaming career. I saw this monitor had good reviews, so I checked it out and decided to buy it. First off, it was extremely simple to but the monitor together and plug it into my laptop! It was very quick and easy. This monitor actually boosts my FPS compared to when I was playing on just the laptop. I am also able to run the same amount of FPS on 2560x1440 (2k) compared to 1920x1080 (1080p). The monitor works smoothly in game and for daily use. The 0.5ms response time is very quick and smooth. There is basically no delay when pressing onto the keys on my keyboard while typing and moving in game. The 170 hz response time and the vibrant colors make gaming look a whole lot better when compared to my laptop. It is really a huge difference and makes my gaming experience a lot more enjoyable. There is a ton of adjustability on this monitor. There is way more than I even need, but it is good that there are more options available. I dont know if this is just me but I am able to set my res to 4K when it is advertise to go up to 2K. I guess this is a good bonus for me.

Spent weeks looking for a good monitor to use with my ps5. Im not really computer savvy ( I havent actively used a computer since 2014), so I basically had to research what all the specs mean, and how it would function with my console. With a $300 budget I wanted the best I could get to hit 120fps and also with hdr and at least 1080p. So the extra pixel count is a nice bonus with this model. If youre discouraged to buy a monitor after watching reviews and reading reddit threads and seeing how someone always had something negative to say about any computer product. as someone who knows basically nothing about this stuff, I can say that this particular monitor has met all my needs and Im 100% satisfied. I would buy again. Setup was super easy, you really dont even need to reed the instructions. I had it out the box and set up and playing games within 20 minutes. And the analog stick button on the back makes it super easy to navigate its menus. Just an overall amazing monitor for the price and for anyone with next gen consoles.

Love the monitor, colors are bit off but its great

Lets start with the negatives of which there are two: 1) The display, as many other reviews have mentioned, is a _little_ dim even on full brightness. Its not a problem, for me, with my setup, but I can in certain lighting conditions see more reflection off the screen of lighting in the room(say, my keyboard backlight, or even my desk when lit from above) than the display itself. Generally only noticeable with very dark images on the display and fairly well lit things to reflect. 2) The product ships with an HDMI cable that is insufficient to drive it to rated specs. To get full 2k 144Hz you need a displayport cable. I had some artifacting issues (vertical lines that wouldnt refresh) on the in-box HDMI cable, but these were fixed by switching to a $15 displayport cable from a reputable manufacturer. The included HDMI cable doesnt seem to be particularly cheap, it is sturdy, thick, and weighty, it just seems insufficient for using the display to its full capabilities. If you are having issues out of the box, I recommend trying a displayport cable. The picture quality and color is excellent. It performs excellently in games and watching videos at high resolution and refresh rate. Great value at its price point. I would highly recommend it. Its not perfect, but it is certainly one of the best you can buy.

No complaints here, picture is good and speakers are decent enough

Backlight bleed is somewhat bad in my opinion, being very noticeable in the corners through certain shades of black, although it is not that bad if you arent displaying shades of black often. But for reference when it is night time (in-game) it gets kind of hard to see a lot of times even after turning off my lights and playing in a dark room. If you do a bleed test, it doesnt come back very bad, and its only during certain shades where it is a big issue. Opposed to the majority of reviews, the monitors color accuracy is really not that great either. Well thats not necessarily true. Its a nice display and has a wide range of colors and shows them beautifully, but the monitors preset color settings are somewhat inaccurate, you will most likely have to tune them a bit. For me personally, my display had a faint red-pink tint to everything bright colored, like white, or cream. For example, characters skin will look sunburnt or blushed instead of crisp and clean. This can of course be adjusted but the tuning is only to eye and always leaves room for error. 1080p looks bad, but to be honest it almost always will for monitors that are made for 1440p. If you are looking to game in 1080p the majority of the time I do not recommend. This is mainly just a note to people reading reviews to lower expectations. 1440p is hard to downscale into 1080p because it is not an even switch so the monitor will be displaying a slightly larger than a 1:1 ratio making images blurry and low quality. Some monitors look better than others and some components try to help fix this issue but your quality will not be good. Other notes include: Its support for HD is good (which reduces some of the bleed when turned on it seems) Its brightness settings are good (I almost always have to keep it low because anything past like 50 will fry your eyes like an egg, especially with the max brightness setting on It is quick and responsive 1440p looks nice It comes with built in speakers, even though they arent the best and have zero depth they work for casual gaming and those of us who are too broke or stubborn to buy some nice ones The stand and connections are made out of mainly plastic but have a metal base Lots of movement from the monitor in all angles, easily adjustable Overall pretty good for the price though, I mean what would you expect? These are all not the biggest issues and for most people wont be that noticeable.

Im more on the color accuracy side of things than gaming, but I wanted the high refresh panel for gaming when I would. I can confirm this is a native 10 bit panel, however you need to use displayport to use hdr and anything past 60hz and 1440p. Displayport 1.2 and 1.3 support 1440p 120hz 10bit chrome 4:4:4, but you need dp 1.4 to use 144hz with this configuration. Hdmi will not support this at all with 120hz, or youll have to drop down to 1080p You can use windows hdr with this panel and see anything you want in hdr (youtube vids, hdr movies) but non hdr content looks terrible and washed out unless you turn off hdr manually in windows and the monitor settings. This is a windows problem not a display one. Any hdr content on this gets extremely bright and the blacks are still very very dark. You can use it next to a window no problem. I actually recommend you use this monitor with lots of ambient light, getting it to darken for indoor usage means you loose some shadow details Screen uniformity is amazing. See attached pictures, theres is no banding or dirty effects. Backlight uniformity is pretty good but not 100%. I didnt attach a picture because the camera made it look way way worse than it really looked in real life. I used stock settings for those screen uniformity pictures (brightness 50, contrast 50, bfi off, gamma 2.4) Its using an ahva panel from what I can tell, I dont think the viewing angles are at ips levels, and it gets too dark for an ips panel. Its viewing angles angles are still very strong though, close to that of ips screens

I purchased this during prime day specifically for console gaming, and it will be tough to beat the price for a quality budget monitor from a company Ive actually heard of before. Since Xbox is very particular about what monitors it allows you to play 1440p at 120hz in, this one did it out of the box, no problems whatsoever. I was initially a little hesitant because acer has 37 similar models and I couldnt find a long technical review specifically for this one, but it seems to be a really solid monitor for the price.

This monitor is great for 1440p gaming. G-sync works well, and it runs up to 144Hz. Response time and input lag are minimal. Theres no perceptible motion blur. Back buttons are a bit hard to read/feel when navigating the menu. Make sure you are using the right cables! For 144Hz at 1440p, you will need at least HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2. The included monitor stand is wobbly. I have my monitor on an arm using the VESA mount. The back of the monitor is curved, which could make attaching lights or other accessories difficult. The monitor has some interesting features like Picture-in-picture if you have multiple computers. Theres also an option to have the monitor put a crosshair on your screen. I think itd be more useful if I could modify the crosshairs. The built-in options are quite bulky. Brightness and colors start to change if you are viewing this monitor at an 30-40 degree angle. The contrast ratio is mediocre, and there is some backlight bleed in dark areas of the screen. These are all expected with IPS panels. Sound: The built-in speakers try their hardest, but they sound like small speakers and I dont use them. You may want to take a minute to deactivate the Monitor speaker device in Windows so it doesnt show up on the Output list.

This is an excellent LCD HDR monitor. I have never used HDR but have previously used 144hz 2k monitors (Acer XG270HU for reference). My other Acer 2k monitor uses a TN panel, which has poor viewing angles and color reproduction, but this one produces excellent colors after I changed the color bit depth to 10bpc and configured the monitor colors. I only have a couple of games which support HDR but one I tried (Red Dead Redemption 2) looks amazing, though it was somewhat difficult to get working correctly. Pros: VESA compatible Extremely bright Excellent Wide Color Gamut reproduction Height Adjustable (I remember reading a couple of reviews saying it had no height adjustment, but it does) 144Hz QHD 27 is the perfect combination of resolution, refresh rate, and pixel size Cons: Was a little difficult to set up HDR in windows and be sure everything was working correctly.
