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 am so glad I found this monitor. I had been searching for something that could really push my new 5800x/6800xt build to its actual potential. I had the fantastic LG gl83a-b which was absolutely perfect for my prior setup with the 3700x/5700xt and 2080 ftw 3 cards (I am a builder so I was once very flush with cards) and once I decided to move up to current gen I started out with the 3700x and Ventus 3070 3x oc and it was a shock at just how well that card handled 1440p @144hz. I ended up getting the cpu upgrade and then the Bitcoin apocalypse resurgence truly blasted off. The last time I was able to check out with a new card was the day before that coin hit 57k...I managed to get both the tuf 3070 and my current gigabyte gaming oc 6800xt back to back (I sold the 3070 to a client at cost plus $30...I am not a scalper).

Such a nice monitor.

My only dislike is not buying it sooner

Awesome monitor for about a month, then I started experiencing the vertical banding and imagine retention issues, hopefully acer sorts these issues out. Acer requires you to send monitor in for repair and can take half a month or longer, unacceptable.

At first I thought I had image burn/image retention with this monitor after several hours of use a night and was going to return it, but then after some research it turns out if you turn up the black boost too high (I had it on 8, I believe), the image burn keeps coming back. So I turned it to the setting of 5 and I havnt had a problem with image burn since then. Pretty good monitor, my first time using an IPS @ 240hz for FPS games. Goodbye TN! Great colors also, really pretty pictures and colorful, amazing. Like nothing Ive used in the past.

I dont know if they are dumping defective products on Amazon marketplace or they genuinely make terrible quality monitors. Im about to return my second one for the same light bleed issues that the first one had. These monitors retail at $1200, they should be absolutely flawless, but they look considerably worse than a monitor thats 1/3 the price. I honestly wouldnt want this product if it were free.

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.

Just clear things up I faced no issues with the monitor. I got it to 270z. Its colours are bright, accurate. Nothing is washed out and the text is clear. HOWEVER. IF you use a lower end graphics card, you may not be able to get to 270hz. Also, the text may not look clear for some reason. Why that is, I have no idea. Im using an rtx 2080ti and everything is accurate and clear. 270hz is absolutely sublime and once you get to 270hz youll never want to go back.

There really isnt anything I dont like. I good solid Gaming Monitor..

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.
