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

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.

great value at 240$, gotta mess with settings to get it just right but still a great monitor.

Wasnt sure initially, but what a purchase it turned out to be. Definitely was a big step up for my gaming setup, without breaking my bank. This looked like the only budget WQHD monitor with 144Hz, sub 5ms response time, IPS display with Freesync. Search for yourself in PC PART PICKER. Works like a charm.

Ive been using this monitor for a few months. Gotta say, I have been loving it. Even with the slight motion blur, its great.

I was looking to upgrade to a 1440p monitor and I have no regrets for choosing this one. The IPS panel looks noticeably better than my previous VA panel and is truly amazing in quality. The OSD is easy to use and intuitive. I would get a VESA mount however since the stock stand is a bit wobbly according to other reviews. I use the Amazon basics VESA mount.

I have two of these. I’ll get right out there with the elephant in the room. These things suffer from some of the worst image retention I’ve ever seen in an IPS panel. It’s worse when you flip them to HDR mode. It’s not burn in but retention. After a while the retained image fades. Now if you aren’t using these things to look at excel all day for work, but rather for gaming. They are great. Good colors, decent specs, solid price. Just know that both of mine retain images to the same degree so I’m reluctant to assume I got a bad set.

27 Inches, 1440p, 144hz. If that doesnt encourage you to buy it then I do not know what will. Ive lived with 24 inch monitors my whole life, in 1080p. I switched to 144hz 2 years ago, and I am never going back to 60. Ever. That solely encouraged me to try a higher resolution at the same frame rate, now Im never going back. 1440p 144hz gaming is something one should experience at least once in their lifetime. Luckily, I experience it every day. Highly recommend.

Love the monitor, one year in and I’m relatively satisfied with this purchase. Although within the year of owning it I have noticed multiple dead pixels near the center of the monitor.

Just got this monitor as part of an upgrade alongside the RX 5700xt graphics card. My old graphics card doesnt support HDMI 2.0, but I got the full resolution and refresh rate after switching to DisplayPort 1.4. Very nice display and a lot of options built in. The speakers are okay but I typically will just use my headset anyway. Didnt expect anything from the speakers and nobody really should. The picture quality is spot on and works well with AMD display setting software. I wish the monitor display was edge-to-edge but theres about a 3/4cm on the left, right, and top sides of the display. Tried changing some things up and its still like that. Looking at it in the light, I believe thats just how its designed. Overall great value!

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