Here’s what you need to know:-HDR mode looks BEAUTIFUL. HDR is great for this monitor in fact. With HDR enabled, Dark Blacks, very opaque, accurate colors – most of all increased brightness and contrast, which is almost necessary with this monitor. The factory settings are a little bit dark for my tastes. Increasing brightness manually may also increase backlight bleed. Some reviewers say HDR doesn’t make much difference, but it does. I bet some people do custom color adjustments, including increasing brightness, and in that case that would make HDR “LESS” noticeable, but that makes the blacks less dark. Both adjusting brightness/color settings or enabling HDR are good options, if you don’t want to mess with HDR, but I prefer the HDR as I think it gives the best overall picture on this and I don’t have to mess with factory settings.-GSync Capable with 144Hz refresh rates. Some users say G-Sync and HDR don’t work together on this monitor… but they do. I have HDR enabled with GSync and have my frame rate max capped to 120 FPS in Nvidia Control panel. I can see that I am getting 120 FPS in games and can FEEL the difference between when GSync is on or off, so I know it works with HDR, which I NEVER turn off on this.- Crisp pictures. You can SEE the difference between 1080p and 2K. Very obvious improvement, especially with gaming.- Great viewing angles, virtually zero washout effect when viewing even from extreme angles-Solid refresh rates, to the average person, you will perceive no visible ghosting or screen-tearing in games with lots of action even with HDR enabled (which lowers response times… I don’t know how low the response times are but the advertised <1ms does not apply to when any mode other that gaming/action mode are enabled.BE AWARE: Windows10 has HDR as a built in feature and it is BUGGY as heck, especially paired with NVidia cards, apparently. What will happen is that you will see the monitor colors get "washed out" and blacks will get "grayish". It will look like a cheap TN panel. With only ONE of these monitors, I didn't have much issue, but having two of these 2K monitors hooked up to my RTX 3080 and suddenly I'd have a monitor suddenly change to "washed out" when starting certain games or apps. IT IS NOT THE MONITOR if this happens to you. I believe some viewers complaining about picture quality caught the Windows HDR bug and didn't know about it or how to fix it.-Here's what I did to minimize it:1) Enable HDR in Windows, and on the monitor2) NVidia Control Panel > Color options… choose the option for limited and go with YCBCR 4.2.2… This is because Windows supports the HDR10 standard and you can ONLY get 8-bit option unless you enable this and go to limited mode. You will notice a small change in colors when enabling this. Everything gets slightly brighter and less subtle.In some games, you have to TURN OFF Windows HDR for it to work in the game (Red Dead Redemption 2) for example. If a monitor suddenly becomes washed out, while opening/closing apps you can toggle HDR on or off for that screen in display settings in Windows OR you can power the monitor on/off and it usually comes back to it’s full HDR glory. AGAIN be aware it is NOT a monitor issue. HDR is still Buggy and half-baked in Windows and googling Windows10 HDR will give you TONS of input (some different than mine) on how to deal with this. My advice isThe cool thing about this monitor is that you have the empirically superior picture that ONLY and IPS panel can offer, and you can do it with features like 144Hz refresh rates and GSync enabled. To have the IPS panel benefits, you have to enable HDR. What is also cool is that if your graphics card can’t push the frames high enough in competive shooters, so you are worried about ghosting in competitive shooters with fast action and abrupt screen movements, you can have TN-panel like performance with blazing fast response times, 144Hz freesync/GSync capable refresh rates, just by hitting a button to switch modes (Action mode) (disabling HDR). The result is that it loses some brightness and contrast. This is where a person would probably want to increase Contrast and brightness, and this would make your blacks become more dark gray… ie it will look like a budget gaming VA panel, or a TN panel with better color and viewing angles.That is essentially what this monitor is: It is a very good blend of lots of well-executed compromises. It is a cheap IPS panel with great picture, but HDR is MANDATORY to get that perfect IPS experience. That is perfectly fine. It also has some moderate, usually not noticeable, backlight bleed. Again, it is a compromise in exchange for not paying $2K for this 2K IPS monitor with fast refresh rates, backlight bleed is ~50% more than a top-of-the line IPS panel.If you are a competitive gamer who just HAS to have 1ms response times and 144Hz GSync, then this monitor will do that too, but the compromise is that HDR has to be disabled (action-mode), but it will require giving up the IPS eye-candy while I play that game.Personally I just accept that I mainly play Planet Coaster and RDR2 and I don’t need to ever turn off HDR in those titles with my RTX 3080.Cons (which are NOT really cons if you know about monitor tech)- SOME backlight bleed (ie when the monitor is on a black loading screen -you can see where light bleeds through the bezel in a few spots, like someone has a flashlight behind your screen and some of that brightness actually bleeds through. Backlight bleed is basically a guarantee with EVERY IPS monitor ever made. The only question is HOW MUCH backlight bleed will you get. This model is middle of the road for backlight bleed, and I have 2 of these and both bleed a little differently. I would categorize backlight bleed as noticeable, but not noticeable when gaming unless you are gaming in a dark room, crawling through a dark dungeon.- Refresh rates go UP with HDR enabled (even though you can still get 144Hz refresh rate and GSync at the same time as HDR, to get the <1 ms response times you have to change to non-HDR modes, which is something I would NEVER want to do. For these users, who just want the fastest refresh rates while having deep blacks and bright whites, you want to purchase an at least equally, if not more expensive TN panel instead. HOWEVER, TN panels will GUARANTEE relatively washed out viewing angles, poor washed-out colors compared to IPS.Here's the pros and cons of the different panel types:IPS (this monitor)Great color accuracy and look. HDR. Black blacks, white whites. Good Refresh rates. PERFECT viewing angles.Con- backlight Bleed is noticeable in a dark room on a dark game.VA PanelCan have decent color accuracy and "OK" refresh rates / response times.. Viewing angles are not great, but usually OK. Wash-out occurs when viewing from angles, but not nearly as bad as TN panels. Contrast ratios are usually between TN and IPS. Usually backlight bleed not a problem. This is the ultimate "master-of-none" panel and usually exist marketed as gaming panels at 1080p only. Nothing wrong with a VA panel if it is a good one.TN PanelBest Contrast Ratios (Black Blacks, whitest Whites). NO noticeable backlight bleed. Tied with the latest IPS panel breakthroughs for having the fastest response times and highest refresh-rates for competive gaming. You basically can't beat a TN panel for having a combination of contrast ratios and refresh-rates/response-timesThe CONS however, are not insignificant. The best most expensive TN panels still suffer from poor viewing angles. If you are straight in front of it, the edges and your peripherals in the screen are subtly and more progressively "washed out". This is the reason that the ideal screen for pro-gaming is usually a 24-inch TN panel because keeping the screen small keeps all the screen action in front of them, and reduces the washout that happens as the edge of the screen gets further away. The color accuracy is considered "poor" and would never be used by creative professionals, and make terrible screens for viewing movies and Netflix and such, due to the lesser color/ picture quality.These are screens just for the most die-hard competitive gamer. It is a "tool" really.This monitor looks (and acts) a lot like a TN panel (with better color/ viewing angles, worse contrast ratio) when in "action mode". The rest of the time you get all those benefits of the IPS panel listed aboveSo just a really cool monitor. A monitor is a very personal thing, so there is no right answer to user-preference, but I personally would NEVER do anything but IPS at this point now that they have overcome the refresh-rate limits of yesteryear. It is clearly the most advanced monitor tech out right now. This is a GREAT budget entry into the 144Hz 2K IPS world.

If your looking for a affordable 2k resolution monitor look no further! This is a well made monitor with great colors and decent brightness! Its smooth frames are amazing and makes gaming and just watching content awesome. The main downside i had with this monitor was its HDR is a bit over saturated, i may need to adjust the setting to get it to a more natural looking color but as it stands now the colors look over saturated and off putting.Pros:- 2k resolution- 144 hz- good colors- decent price- monitor stand is rotation, height, and even swivel. (swivel is rare on stands so this is nice)Cons:- hdr is over saturated- system menus are a bit confusing- like many monitors designs the usb ports are useless if you have a multi monitor set up.

I’m 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 you’ll have to drop down to 1080pYou 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 detailsScreen uniformity is amazing. See attached pictures, there’s is no banding or dirty effects. Backlight uniformity is pretty good but not 100%. I didn’t 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. It’s viewing angles angles are still very strong though, close to that of ips screens

After much research and testing of several other gaming monitors, I’ve settled on this Acer Nitro 27″ 1440p IPS 144hz. Do you need 1440p at 27″? No, 1080p is OK, but 1440p gives a super sharp image and more space on the screen for tasks. Do you need 144 hz for gaming? You will be blown away by how smooth your game runs on the screen. Massive improvement over 75hz. Yes. Is IPS the best panel tech for beautiful and vibrant color? Yes. It seems like most gamers who don’t know better settle for VA or even worse, TN. Unless your an e-sports competitor who requires ultra low GtG response time, there’s literally no good reason to run a TN.The Acer is over a hundred bucks cheaper than it’s nearest competitor of similar specs and quality (ASUS). I didn’t really want to spend $400 on a monitor, but once you see the difference between the different panel techs (VA, TN, and IPS), it was very hard to settle for a lesser monitor. This monitor allows Freesync through the full range of hz up to 144hz. The more expensive ASUS does not. That was a deal breaker for me.Getting the Acer for less was just a bonus. The Asus screams high quality though and beats this one in that case for it’s super solid ergonomic stand and exceptional picture. This Acer is also high quality compared to cheaper monitors such as Viotek, but the stand design results in some wobbling and the height doesn’t go quite high enough for me as a tall dude. Overall, I’m very pleased with this purchase, my games look gorgeous on it. It comes color calibrated out of the box, so you really only need to dial the brightness into your preference and you’re set to play. Super smooth, beautiful rich colors at a large range of viewing angles. These little details add up to an excellent gaming monitor. This monitor doesn’t get much hype in social media and stuff but it definitely deserves it. I’m an Acer fan now.

This monitor is great for 1440p gaming. G-sync works well, and it runs up to 144Hz. Response time and input lag are minimal. There’s 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. There’s also an option to have the monitor put a crosshair on your screen. I think it’d 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 don’t use them. You may want to take a minute to deactivate the Monitor speaker device in Windows so it doesn’t show up on the Output list.

The display seemed to have a yellow tint over it and I became incredibly frustrated that everything I did or tried didn’t seem to work. After a few hours of google searches and youtube tech videos on how to change the color I figured out that I had to go into my NVIDIA Control Panel and under display you go to Change resolution. Then when you scroll down you will see color settings you can change. The default one caused the yellow tint on my monitor and then I changed it to the NVIDIA color setting and the yellow tint was gone! I’m so happy with the way the display looks now I made this review in hopes to help some1 having a similar issue. I included a picture in order to help out any future buyers of either this monitor or any other monitor with a similar issue as mine.

I am a university student using the “Acer Nitro XV272U Pbmiiprzx 27″ WQHD 144Hz” monitor for both completing engineering classwork and playing video games. I can sincerely say that it works beautifully for both of those things. I enjoy the amount of screen real estate, with the 27″ size allowing for multiple adequately-sized windows at a time while I’m using my desktop computer. The 144Hz refresh rate is super smooth and cool; the 1440p resolution is a noticeable upgrade over my previous 1080p 75Hz Acer monitor; and the brightness / color detail are more than good enough for me. When I am using my Xbox, I’m able to use the 120Hz refresh rate option at a resolution of 1440p, which is again a significant upgrade over my previous monitor. I’m very satisfied with this monitor and I hope this review helps. See below for pros / cons. Thank you for reading!PROS: 144Hz refresh rate, 1440p resolution, good brightness, great built-in speakers, slim bezels, easy-to-use menu user interface, good port selection (1X DP, 2X HDMI, 4X USB !!!), overall great value for the moneyCONS: no cable management solutions, sale price of $299.99 may not last forever :(Have a great day!

I recently purchased two each of the following 27 inch 1440P IPS monitors to use in a 4 monitor array where I already owned two Acer K272HUL Dbmidpx L 27″ IPS monitors. Ranked from favorite to least favorite below: 1) Acer Nitro XV272U Pbmiiprzx 27″ WQHD – these are my new favorite 1440p monitors due to the fact that they seem to deliver the best image quality out of all of the monitors that I have tested. I use these for productivity and am not really a gamer. Great text readability, minimal back light bleed, nice sleek design, decent glare reduction without making images blurry (see notes on the Dell unit below). Great controls and menu except a little inconvenient if you have these mounted side by side as the controls are on the right rear of the monitors so might be difficult to access on the left monitor due to placement. You’ll need to physically move the monitor to access the controls. Not a big deal to me though. 2) Asus ProArt Display PA278QV – these were my second favorite but I just simply preferred the image quality from the Acer Nitro XV272U a little better. I don’t love the measuring lines on the front of the display but suspect they may be useful for video/photo editors? I also think the menu system and buttons can be improved a little. Overall, a nice monitor but didn’t quite cut it for me. 3) Acer Nitro VG270U BMIIPX – great image quality and similar image quality like the other Acer’s listed above, but the fatal flaw with these is they caused my computer to slow to a crawl whenever my PC would wake from sleep. I contacted Acer support and they believe it to be an issue with the firmware that’s installed on the monitors. Returned them. 4) Dell U2719D – really nice sleek design with a great menu system controls and input options but the anti glare coating was too aggressive for my liking and the image quality was just “meh” to me when compared to the two Acer’s listed above.Hope this helps someone searching for monitors 🙂

I’ve been looking for a solid 1440p monitor that can run up to 120hz at a reasonable entry level price ever since I’ve purchased my new Xbox. If you’re a casual gamer looking for a reasonably priced monitor for your new console I wouldn’t look much further than this monitor. It’s currently priced at $300 and with the included features, it’s a steal. I personally don’t care for 4K gaming, I don’t believe game publishers are aiming for that either, i think most console gamers should care about performance. 4ms grey to grey response time, sharp colors, and 120hz at 1440p is game changing and it’s what most PC gamers are aiming for. If it was still $400 I’d tell you, you have better options in comparison, at $300, you should probably get one before they’re out of stock.I’m not a monitor nerd at all, but to me the colors out of the box are fantastic, all I did on my end is enable freesync, adjusted my xbox tv settings to match my monitors capabilities, loaded up Warzone and had amazing experience, hope you do the same.

Was worried about quality control reading other reviews but this monitor came with barely and BLB and no dead pixels( i havent noticed any yet). I’ve had it for a few days so far but you can simply check off 120hz, Varaible refresh rate , and 1440p on your series X with no hassle. I researched for so long and saw this monitor was compatible and I can confirm it is. The picture and color is gorgeous. Only flaw is the brightness can be better. I mostly play FPS games on xbox and the response time and overall feel is pretty good. Definitely reccomend.
