Acer KG271 bmiix 27 Full HD (1920 x 1080) TN Monitor with AMD FREESYNC Technology (2 x HDMI & VGA Port),Black

Having played on a TV for the longest time I felt it was necessary to buy a monitor as I do enjoy playing console. I bought this as a black friday deal for around $90. It is a 60hz monitor with 1ms response time. Right away I noticed an improvement in my gameplay as the response from my controller to the monitor was significantly faster than if I were playing on a TV. The reason I say this is a monitor for causal gamers is because professionals would not use a monitor like this. They use 144hz monitors and have technologies I can’t even describe. But if you enjoy playing games like COD, BF1 or any shooter on console, I’d highly recommend this monitor.

I am a small time streamer that needed a second monitor with 144hz to match my gpus capabilities. It does its job and noticed immediately the difference between 60hz and 144hz. Bought it due to its price and will hold onto even when I upgrade to a more powerful monitor in the future.

This is a very good monitor for productivity and gaming. PROS: 144hz for 1080 refresh rate good for gaming, also has 120hz for lower spec PC and console. Big clear screen, no dead pixels, good preset options. CONS: Tilt only screen, can not raise or lower screen. Is VEGA compatible though with 75x75 I believe

This is an AMAZING monitor with great image quality, 1 ms response time, and 144 hz refresh rate. However, you need to be very knowledgeable about computers before making such an expensive purchase. First of all, expect initial image quality issues, and also expect the Display Port to stop working on you for no reason at all. If this happens, it doesnt mean you need to RMA your video card or get a new cable, its a known issue with Display Port which is not tried and true. Only buy this monitor if you know exactly what youre doing and are a computer expert like I am. If not, youll run into nothing but hassle and problems. BTW, contrary to other reviewers, the integrated speakers are excellent for an apartment setting where subwoofers and extremely loud sound would be disturbing. If you want bass and loudness, get a pair of 7.1 headphones. Whats nice about the integrated speakers is that they dont disturb the neighbors, are loud, and allow me to take the headphones off when not gaming. Excellent monitor, just not for the amateur.

Worked fantastic paired with my RX580 for a few months now it only works over HDMI. I tried multiple displayport outputs from my graphics card as well as multiple displayport cables (including a new one) and it doesnt recognize a signal from that input anymore. I have shipped it out to Acer support (still within its 1 year warranty) for a fix and am awaiting word on its condition/what went wrong. Before it stopped working over DP it was fantastic. 144hz and Freesync had me spoiled and now back on the HDMI is noticeably worse. Will update this review after I receive my fixed monitor from Acer support.

This is a great monitor for the price. Its 1920x1080 with up to a 75hz refresh rate if you overclock it. Unfortunately I have a dead pixel already, less than four months after purchasing. Acers warranty will only replace the monitor if it has more than 4 degraded pixels per one million pixels. Since this is a 1920x1080 monitor, it consists of a total of 2,073,600 pixels. Which means I would need to have a total of 9 pixels degraded before Acer will even look at it. Very disappointing. I guess Ill have to try and fix the pixels myself and hope I dont create anymore degraded pixels in the process.

My husband is a teacher working from home, and our previous monitor was excellent, but just not large enough - not up to the task. There were more expensive monitors some with more (some with less) features, but our experience with Acer products has always been positive. The monitor stands well with the video system he uses for teaching, does not cramp his neck (as he can sit taller), and the view-ability is exceptional. We have a computer video card that has the AMD Freesync Technology, and the card/software picked up the monitors abilities immediately. This was a very easy monitor to set up,has a 3-year warranty, and it looks great with fantastic flicker-free video. Think carefully before you purchase a monitor, and place this one in your shopping cart. Lisa

I picked this particular monitor due to having a very similar bezel to the Acer Predator 27. The colors are great for web browsing and light gaming. I dont use it for heavy gaming sessions so I cannot attest to its performance for FPS games.

A great monitor on my part for gaming but if you have a elevated platform on your desk the monitor will NOT look right. The top will be dark because the monitor is slanted so please before you buy get a monitor stand or wall mount
