Acer Nitro 27" WQHD 2560x1440 IPS PC Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | 300Hz | Up to 0.5ms | 99% sRGB | DisplayHDR 400 | ErgoStand | VESA Mounting | 1 x DP 1.4 & 2 x HDMI 2.1 | XV272U F3bmiiprx

Nice upgrade from 165 hz. Noticably smoother. No issues yet.

Picked it up on prime day for 280$. Very solid value/budget Monitor in today's market. Plenty of color settings and features to go around.Im coming from a TN 1080p 240hz and am using a 2080 Ti. I tested on DP 1.4, I'm not sure the total capabilities of it's HDMI 2.1 input because my gpu currently doesn't have HDMI 2.1.I was able crank the monitor brightness up very high, definitely enough for any type of game I play. Black level adjustments plus additional sharpening feature for those sweaty fps games. Its very solid in terms of visual adjustments. It also has a super brightness feature that really does make it brighter at the cost of power draw. Super brightness gets disabled whenever using the blacklight strobing feature though obviously. Which is also very solid. I tested it on Normal and definitely noticed some added clarity during motion at the slight cost of brightness. Extreme makes it VERY clear but is just to dim for my uses, your mileage may vary. I feel like normal is definitely the way to go or at the very least try it. I've heard people saying Blacklight strobing causes headaches, I wear prescription glasses and have an astigmatism. I never got anything, but just keep in mind some people may be more sensitive to it then me.Response time adjustments are very good as well. Setting it to extreme I didn't notice any halo effects or trailing, I was pleased with it. Im no monitor reviewer that has the table charts with all the pixel being overdriven and all that. I just look for stuff that actually impacts my ability to see things clearly. And in most of the fps games I've tested I couldn't notice anything while being set on extreme, but I'm sure bumping it down a notch makes the pixels more "accurate".Now to the Meh..DSC is still a con and annoying. It's possible to disable DSC and still get 1440p @ 300hz at the cost of your color format and color range. But I thought I'd let people know that atleast. So if your into custom resolutions and what not this may not be for you. Ive yet to test that completely but at the end of the day im not sure that sacrficing the monitors color potential for a custom resolution is worth it. Its not gonna really make you any better. Whats the goal?It terms of build quality it feels better then just alright. The stand is decent, good enough for the average user, height adjustment goes up and down pretty far so its versatile. The actually panel it's self is not glossy like it says in the description. It feels like average plastic on the back not to cheap but not to high quality either. Doesnt have much wobble. In all it's like a 6 or 7 / 10.My monitor did not come included with a display port cable so keep that in mind, the product description is wrong on that aswell.In all, I like the monitor, even with the price @ 350$ it's still a very good buy. Plenty of settings to adjust to your needs, can configure your own profiles and swap them on the fly very quickly, visually clarity settings that actually help you see. Can't really find anything wrong with it other than DSC. With the drive to push the boundaries of refresh rates and resolutions DSC has been a blessing and a curse but atleast Acer was able to configute this panel in a way so YOU make that choice by enabling / disabling it so you can still get what you paid for at the cost of colors. I respect that.Definitely recommend, tell your friends. And happy gaming fellow sweats. :)

Let me start by saying its very important to check whether your device can support HDMI 2.1, which is required to get the full 1440p 300hz. With HDMI 2.0 it's limited to 1440p 144hz. Unfortunately I didn't check this and my gaming laptop from 2021 only supports HDMI 2.0. If you have DisplayPort, then I believe DP 1.4 supports up to 1440p 240hz, but do note that the monitor only comes with an HDMI 2.1 cable.With that said, this monitor has 1440p 300hz and HDMI 2.1 for $350 (off sale price). I was fortunate enough to get it for $250, but even at $350 it's a steal. I've checked for monitor deals weekly for months and this deal is well above anything else I've ever seen for these specs (especially considering HDMI 2.1 support is uncommon even in monitors costing more, the only one that comes to mind is LG's 1440p 240hz IPS...can't remember the name because monitor naming schemes are hilarious).As for any defects, I received my unit about a week ago, no issues in the display at all so far. I tested for issues using a monitor testing website by EIZO. Regardless, a 3 year limited warranty comes with this monitor so I'm not too concerned about it.The overall build quality is also solid, and the stand it comes with is hefty, feels quality, allows for good height adjustment and tilting both vertically and horizontally, which is nice.If you're on the fence, just do it. Have faith in amazon's return policy and acer's 3 year warranty. If these are the specs you want and if this is your price range, you won't find anything better.

Amazing product for the price, colors are amazing and it’s pretty sturdyit can be a very bright display and the picture quality is awesomeit’s just that if you don’t look at it dead on, the backlight starts to make the colors wonky at some angles, kind of like looking down up onto a TN panel even thought this is an IPS, except it’s when you look down onto the monitor, you have to have it tilted up sort of so the colors don’t look poor at the bottom of the screen, just like how you have to tilt a TN panel down so the top of the screen doesn’t look badwhich is not the end of the world by all means, a similar thing happens on the sides when you look at an angle but it’s unnoticeable after literally like an hour of using it then you’ll never care againminus the bad viewing angle from the top down, which is easily avoidable just by tilting the display up, this monitor is absolutely fantastic, especially for the pricebut a VA panel would be better for viewing angles, and for late night gaming, because this thing doesnt get very dark unless you turn the contrast all the way down too.it comes with an HDMI 2.1 cable which you should probably be using because most gpus don’t have higher than DP 1.4 which CAN display the advertised 300hz but it will only be in 8 bit color depth and doesn’t use RGB color format, forgot what it uses but it makes small text look god awful with yellow and blue colors mixed in, it’s just weird, that’s why you should use the included HDMI 2.1 cable because more gpus that don’t have DP 1.4 have HDMI 2.1, namely Radeon 6000 series cards, because you can run the full 300hz at the regular RGB color format and incredible 12 bit color depthbezels are pretty thin but not the thinnest i’ve ever seenhighly recommend, very very good monitor
