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

Purchased this after several agonizing hours reading monitor reviews on multiple websites. Were using this as an external monitor for a Windows laptop and a Chromebook, mostly for office work and some casual graphic design. Couldnt be happier with it! The picture looks great, and its usable even in bright ambient conditions. The ergonomics (especially height adjustment) are very welcome. The lack of USB ports could be viewed as disappointing, however, Acer does make a companion model of nearly the same monitor, but with USB ports, so if those are important to you, the option to add them is available (at a higher price, of course). Were not using this in an environment where were extremely sensitive to color accuracy or latency, so were not rendering any judgment on those aspects. But as an affordable 27 monitor with decent performance and good ergonomics, this monitor was a winner for us.

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.

I switched from the ASUS VG248QG, 165hz 1080p to this. I bought it for $300, looking at it right now, and it seems the price has increased to $400. Pros: 240hz (I play a lot of Valorant, it is definitely easier to hit shots with this monitor) 1440p (Looks a lot sharper and cleaner than 1080p, tested it in Cyberpunk 2077 and the difference is extremely noticeable) Response time (While I dont have the equipment to measure its response time, the manufacturer listed the monitor to have a 1ms GTG response time. I havent noticed any ghosting or smearing while gaming/UFO test. Ive seen a lot of videos online expressing how important GTG is over MPRT, so Im just going to believe the manufacturer on this.) IPS Panel (You’re able to look at the monitor from any viewing angle and the colors will look uniform. Definitely feels nicer than the VA panel I have) Cons: Build Quality (The monitor definitely feels cheap, but it makes sense since the monitor was only $300) Color Accuracy (Its listed as HDR, but the colors arent accurate/vibrant with and without the setting on. If the monitor is used just for gaming, this is definitely a solid pick. Youll get used to the colors eventually.) Overall: For the price of $300, Id recommend this monitor to any competitive gamers. Note: This monitor was also just released on Amazon on May 14, 2023, so it makes sense why you cant find any information on this monitor at all.

First off: In this price range, this is the best monitor that checks off the most boxes in my opinion. -Gorgeous, color accurate display that covers 95% DCI-P3 color gamut -Buttery smooth 144hz -Quite good contrast, despite being an IPS panel -FOUR USB 3.0 ports?! Insane -Gsync compatible, even with HDR despite what is said -HDR that I think looks pretty solid for the level -Great viewing angles -Minimal if any backlight bleed -Very adjustable stand & Vesa Mountable I did tons of research before choosing a monitor. I thought about getting the LG Ultragear for $80 more. However, it has worse contrast, no wider color gamut, and no USB ports. It really felt like I would be getting a lot less while paying more. Many others had similar but lesser specs, or cost way more. This is the perfect sweet spot and is a banger of a deal. That being said, Acer QC could use a bit of work. This is my third monitor. My first one ghosted like it was on Scooby-Doo and would occasionally flicker. The second one was DOA. This one has had absolutely no issues and has been fantastic. With Amazons return policy and fast shipping it was not much of a headache getting replacements. I highly recommend this monitor if you are looking for a 1440p 144hz IPS Panel with tons of features!

I found that setting this gaming monitor up, was really easy and nothing really to it. You only get an HDMI cable with this though, no DisplayPort cable. Color on this is BEAUTIFUL! HDR feature seems to work its magic, vibrant colors! The 1440p resolution is just borderline of what Id accept, anything less feels like I dont get that crisp picture. The 144hz refresh, is also works well. I dont see any ghosting, and the game feels and looks so smooth! Amazing picture resolution AND color = outstanding quality. The blacks really do look dark and amazing. The bad about this is the speakers. Quality is not great and it isnt loud. Either way, I never use the built in speakers because I have my own speaker and headphones I use that already has amazing sound. I would highly RECOMMEND if you are looking for a good monitor, or just on a budget. The best monitor I have had. Why pay more for anything else when this is all youll need! And nah they did not pay me for this. I just love this monitor so much already and it has been like 2 days. Lol If anything should go bad, Im editing this ASAP.

Xbox series S user runs 1440p at 120hz very well. Did not work out of the box had to change the HDMI setting on the xbox video settings to auto and turn off allow 4K and other settings in the video section but eventually ran 1440p at 120hz very smoothly. HDR is very nice.

Loving it

The colors are beautiful. It came well packaged and is easy to set up. This monitor is worth the money.

Its color scale out of the box was acceptable and with some minor adjustments to the HDR its very nice. No ghosting or lag noticeable in high FPS gaming such as overwatch. There was a minor incident where the screen was stuttering as some others have mentioned however, unplugging and replugging the cables fixed it. Stand is a bit wobly but the rotations and height adjustment are great. I feel that this monitor is excellent for the price point. Some Notes I found out based on a lot of peoples response about what works on it and does not: This is not a G-sync monitor but, G-sync compatible meaning the chip is different but will operate on most GTX 10 series to RTX 30 series GPU. If connected by display port (only works with display port) detected G-sync effortless on my RTX 3070(laptop), 3080, and RTX 2070 Super. Cannot use HDR (HDR will work with HDMI 2.1, 2.0 or DP) with G-sync which is not specific to this monitor but just how that works.
