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

A relatively inexpensive monitor (especially when on sale) that offers good picture quality and a fast refresh rate of 144hz. Pros: The screen is coated with a matte finish that helps to eliminate reflections 100 x 100 VESA holes for mounting an incorrectly named Black Boost feature (should have been named shadow boost) which increases visibility within shadows Easy to use front-facing controls for the very user-friendly OSD menu 1ms response time low blue light filter Cons: Tilt-only, No rotation or height adjustment TN panel looks good when sitting in front of it but viewing angles are limited. Also, if you plan on using this monitor for photo editing or creation using tools like Photoshop, I would recommend a comparable IPS display instead. TN panels suffer from color shifting which means the colors arent always uniform depending on the angle you are viewing. This is normal for TN panels and shouldnt affect gaming. 4-watt speakers are a joke and sound horrible. Free-sync only Overall, a great monitor especially for the price that allows for faster refresh rate gaming with good contrast that wont break your budget.

I got this to game on my PS4 And it has been amazing. I feel like there is no input lag and there is no discernible motion blur In high FPS games. The colors look great, blacks dont look washed out, And it is plenty bright to game in a bright room. The built-in speakers arent not anything spectacular. But they got you buy if you dont want a game with a headset on.

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.

Ordered one from a competitor, Was a shame because this was a slightly better price than them. overall i have 3 for a gaming setup. pros: No dead, stuck or floating pixels Great color accuracy for the price point Solid price point for response time and 75Hz Decent connection options Almost no bezel on the tops and sides supports AMD free sync if you can use it Cons Alitter thicker for monitors built in power supply utilizing a standard 3 prong power cord ( kind of a pro but con because it makes this thicker than it could be Viewing angles arent fantastic

I needed a monitor with a faster refresh rate for casual gaming... mostly FPS. I had spoiled myself on a 27 that only had a 60 Hz refresh rate, so when this 27 model with 144 Hz popped up on sale, I grabbed it. So far, I love it... especially for the price. I was disappointed with the depth of color when I first hooked it up... the whole display looked a bit hazy on Windows 10 compared to my old Samsung display. However, I looked in the Advanced Display Settings in Windows and found that it was running at 60 Hz by default. I bumped it up to 144 Hz and that somehow made the colors much deeper and true-looking. Color depth is now similar to my Samsung display, except now with a much higher refresh rate. If you are disappointed with a haziness in your new display, check to see what refresh rate it is running at. I tried some gaming and am very pleased so far. I cant use the Freesync feature since I have an NVidia GPU and I didnt want to pay for G-sync. However, I enabled V-sync on the games I played and experienced absolutely no screen-tearing and great response, with no noticeable hit to FPS. And 144 Hz is a definite improvement over 60 Hz. One other thing to note: there is virtually no physical bezel on the top and sides of the monitor. However, there are apparently no actual pixels for about a quarter inch from the edge of the display on the top and sides, which gives it a sort of soft bezel. Not a big deal for me, as I just wanted a 27 monitor with a faster refresh rate than I had, but be aware that when you hook it up, the display doesnt really reach the virtually nonexistent bezel. The bezel that is there is like a brushed/matte looking material, as is the screen itself, so there is no noticeable reflection from any surface of the monitor... which is another plus. Overall, I am very pleased with this monitor, especially considering the price I paid for it.

This is a great monitor that was snagged on Prime Day, and sadly we decided we liked it so much, we bought a second one at the full price. Video is crisp, fast to update (I cant tell the difference between it and a 5ms monitor, so as a monitor used for working and not gaming,) Ill update the review later after weve had it for a while, but overall for the price, it was a great purchase.

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

I bout this display for $104.99 on Prime Day, but am now returning it. I only tested it for a few hours, but that was enough to make me certain that I dont want it. There are two big issues with this display. First, Im not entirely sure why, but my eyes hurt and I start to get a headache after using this screen for about half an hour. When I noticed my eyes starting to hurt, I turned it off for a few, and then when my eyes recovered I attempted to remedy the situation by adjusting the color, contrast, and brightness settings on the display. This unfortunately did not resolve the issue. I also tested the game out with a few games, and noticed considerable flicker behind images that I have never seen before. Ive used a 32-inch 1080p IPS TV and an old 22-inch 1440x900 TN display for the last several years, and never noticed this issue while playing games on either. You can also see minor amounts of flicker on webpages if you watch closely, but the flicker is much less noticeable here. It isnt enough to really bother anyone on web pages I think, but it certainly looked terrible in games. The speakers built into this monitor are also complete garbage. They arent very loud, even with the volume maxed, and you can hear significant distortion and echo while using the speakers. The displays menus are well laid out, the display itself looks nice, and it was easy to put together, but unfortunately these factors cant make up for the low-grade hardware used in the panels construction. ------------------Update--------------------- In response to the comments on this review, I thought I should leave some more detail. My brother purchased two of these display, so I can safely say that the one I received wasnt defective. After examining his, I noticed the same issues, and I could not adjust settings to resolve the issue. He is keeping both of this, however, whereas I returned mine for a full refund. It is possible that this display was just poorly suited for what I used it for. I planned to use the display mostly for work, but also to game on the side. I believe the eye strain actually came from reading text on the screen, and not so much from gaming. For games I tested the following and had these results. Shogun II: Total War = Horrible flickering, worse than I have ever seen before. Rome II: Total War = Moderate flickering Tomb Raider (2012) = No screen flicker/hardly noticeable. Fallout 4 = Moderate flicker Bioshock 2 Remastered = Minor flicker, minor enough to be ignored. I might also have been bothered by the flicker more than some, as the primary display I used before was IPS based and didnt have any flicker. My brother isnt plays different games than I do, and while I could see some flickering on the screen while watching him, it didnt bother him because his old display also had a certain amount of flicker. I probably would have kept it despite the flicker, even though it bothered me, but the eye strain was simply too much after a few hours and I knew it couldnt work for me. Your results may vary.

Great product. The viewing angles are pretty good, not great, but as expected for the price point. The features are nice for gaming. It includes options for cross-hairs for games that do not have them built in. It also has good ports. The two HDMI ports are very useful if you have a desk setup that utilizes multiple screens or if you want to hook up another console or PC. The speakers are not amazing or very loud, but good enough for typical Youtube and movie watching. If you play games with positional audio you will want headphones or decent speakers. Over all it is a very good panel for a very competitive price. Most gaming screens are in the $200- thousands of dollars range, so this is a good option for entry level people who just want a decent screen or for those looking for a 1080p work space screen.

Not sure if my video card is the issue or what. Monitor will intermittently blink on/off, the image is really grainy (most present in blacks showing white grains), screen size is super small, cant tell the difference in refresh from my previous monitor, the built in speakers arent even as loud as my cell phone, actually I should rate this experience lower from my perspective! There now 3 stars. With tech though, probably something else causing my images issues. I wouldnt pay 200+ dollars for this again though.
