acer Nitro 27 Inch WQHD 2560 x 1440 IPS Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync | Up to 180Hz Refresh | Up to 0.5ms | DCI-P3 95% | HDR 10 Support | One Display Port 1.2 & Two HDMI 2.0 | KG271U N3bmiipx

The media could not be loaded. This is a review after 3 months of usage, spoiler alert, I’m pretty happy with it.*I bought this 27inch 1440p 180Hz (KG271U N3bmiipx) monitor for around 170 usd with offer and taxes.Pros:1. 2K, very fast 180hz refresh rate, with built in speakers for 170 USD.2. Pretty high color range (DCI-P3 95%), not verified, but to naked eye, love the vivid colour accurate display, this was important to me.3. IPS screen, meaning good viewing angles, also important for good viewing experience.4. Decent HDR for an IPS LCD budget monitor.5. Didn't notice any flickering.Reasons for asterisk:1. In standard or other modes, even when set to 100, brightness feels low in well lit environments. Turning HDR mode on solves this issue, probably because of increased peak brightness, but this makes it too bright in dark environments, you won't be able to adjust screen brightness in HDR mode. Switching between standard and HDR mode felt a little tedious.2. Overshooting is noticeable to naked eye if overdrive setting is set as extreme. Recommend setting it to minimum, or off, then it’s not at all noticeable.3. Speakers are like what you’d expect in your typical gaming monitors. Pretty mediocre, will get the job done. They lack any base or instrument clarity or separation. In movies or songs, vocals are pretty crisp, but the background music sounds pretty low. Could be solved with headphones or speakers.4. HDMI connections only supports upto 144hz.5. Lack of height adjustment for stand.6. Felt like a thick monitor, build quality is decent, all plastic, does not give you premium feels, but good for it's price.At this point you might be thinking, why did this guy give 5 stars when the cons list is bigger than pros. It's because I compared this with similarly priced Sansui ESA-G27F6Q and Arzopa M1RC side by side, and overall Acer seemed like the best pick in this price range.

This monitor is huge and beautiful. The box also came with a display port cable which is awesome, with that you can get full 180 hz refresh rate! With HDMI it's only 144 hz which is still really good. The display stand sucks though so get a monitor arm or something.

Great monitor for the price. The display is clear and the performance is great.

The brightness was a pain to mess with and the viewing angle of this monitor also isn't great but outside of that its alright.

After a year of daily nonstop Gaming use, still working perfectly. Bought a 2nd one for another Gaming station. A+

Stuck pixel near the middle of the screen, which is very distracting. Acer refuses to repair or replace the monitor unless there are "at least three" stuck/dead pixels.Bad QC and bad support of their products. Never again.

I finally bit the bullet and got a nice higher refresh rate monitor. this was in my price range and so i snagged it. I love it. my other 1440 monitors don't home up to the picture quality and games just look stunning.
