Acer - Nitro KGB271U 27" WQHD IPS Up to 200Hz 0.5ms FreeSync Premium Gaming Monitor with HDR10 (DisplayPort, HDMI) - Black

My 1st monitor for a PS5...i gotta say 1440 resolution looks amazing i like it...the monitor its also super light compared to what my other coworkers have...only downside is that theres no adjustable height up & down..another thing wish it had a remote to go through the setting faster than going to the back of the monitor to press the buttons..other than that great monitor picture is crisp clean and its light to carry

I had an Asus 185 hz monitor and it was great but this 200 hz feels a lot more responsive and clear in quality. The price is amazing 50 bucks less for a better refresh rate and clearer picture. Only thing I don’t like is the menu on the monitor is the stand it came with. It just feels flimsy and does move a bit when I bump my desk. Other than that the monitor is amazing. Definitely would recommend if you are trying to play competitively on a smaller budget :)

The monitor seems great for its price. It was easy to set up, but the provided stand is a bit wobbly. Sometimes typing with a mechanical keyboard causes the screen to shake. My biggest gripe: the illumination at the right and left edges of the screen becomes dimmer when you are not lined up with it. This makes the screen uncomfortable to use for Word documents or spreadsheets with a white background, but it is less of an issue for graphics or dark themes. It gets better if you sit further back, but that's not how you are supposed to use a monitor (otherwise I would buy a TV to sit far away). A curved monitor might have been a better choice for this reason. The specifications claim a 178 degree horizontal viewing angle. That may be true when you are sitting off to either side of the screen, but sitting centered on the screen causes the non-uniform lighting at the edges of the screen. It becomes more irritating when the room is darker. I attached three photos of the screen trying to show how it looks with your head in front of the left, center, and right edges of the screen. The resolution upgrade from my old FHD (1920 x 1080) screen is nice, but the variation in brightness makes the panel feel inferior. I don't use it for gaming or HDR mode, so I have no feedback on those capabilities.

Depending if your able to purchase this monitor, It was the last one at my location at $139.99 black friday 2025 price. The KGB271U maybe discontinued or a model upgrade is in the future. It is a Great Gaming monitor at this price, Display port at max 200hz or using hdmi at 144hz (PS5 and XBOX Series X @ 120hz max, make sure using better 4k/8k hdmi cable). The Only downside on this purchase was monitor did not have a hdmi cable only had display port cable and power cable, so If your able to snag up this monitor make sure you purchase a 2.1 hdmi cable on the side. As a beginner in the gaming pc level I'd say finding this monitor at this price was a nice deal for 1440p.

Nice upgrade for my PC! Perfect size, image quality is great and fluid. Definitely worth it.
