Acer Nitro XV282K KVbmiipruzx 28 UHD (3840 x 2160) Agile-Splendor IPS Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | 144Hz | 1ms | TUV/Eyesafe | 1 Display Port 1.2, 2 HDMI 2.1 & 4 USB Ports

I bought new hubs and hdmi-usb-c to troubleshoot why my Mac wasnt displaying proper colours. I got one to work but the picture isnt nearly as nice as my Lenovo direct HDMI connection. Since my Mac is my daily driver, I continue to tinker with settings but it looks like this might have to go back unfortunately. PS5/XBOX looks absolutely amazing on this monitor, but I need it to perform well for my day to day needs on the Mac too.

You need to turn on hdmi 2.1 in the settings of the monitor. It comes turned off by default. Press the button on the back right of the monitor once for quick menu and once again for full menu. It is under the last tab at the bottom. I spent 20 minutes looking for it under the console settings wondering why it was only outputting at 4k 60htz or 2180 at 120htz. Also this monitor retails $899. Don’t pay $2k for this. It’s beautiful but not worth twice the price. Buy the LG OLED C1 TV instead.

One of the best monitor I’ve ever owned. Graphics are insane, brightness won’t hurt your eyes and the response time is on point.

Such a nice monitor.

Pros:

Was looking for a 4k monitor with 144hz refresh rate. Works pretty good, though brightness could have been better.

This monitor is beautiful! Works perfect with my series x!! This is the best monitor I have owned!

I use this for Xbox series X to get 4k@120hz with the HDMI 2.1 ports. I was then pleasantly surprised by the other features. I also use this for work and now with DP ALT support, I run my laptop with a SINGLE USB C connection to this monitor. The monitor supports PD (power delivery, so I do not even use the laptops power brick any more) over this USB C and supports DP for video. It cleaned up my desk by removing a bunch of unnecessarily cables. On top of that, it has a built in KVM switch where you can use all 4 USB ports on the monitor and share those accessories with two devices. As an example my keyboard and mouse connect to my monitor but I can use them with my laptop over the USB C port, and use them with my Xbox with an included USB adapter. I do not game with keyboard and mouse but the functionality is still pretty neat.

I just received my monitor, but I’m absolutely blown away already how nice the picture quality on this monitor is. I managed to get the monitor 50% off brand new, I really feel like I got a good deal for them. The only thing negative I’d say about the monitor is that the speakers are some what pretty quiet. I’ll probably end up buying external speakers for the monitor.

Luckily got this while it was 50% off and it was definitely worth it. Likely wouldve chosen something else if it had been full price though. A bit of light bleed because of the IPS but unless you are playing or watching something very dark, you wont notice. You definitely need to have it in HDR mode however or else the colours are very bland and washed out
