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.

I was looking for a quick and affordable monitor and found this one. After almost a month of having it I gotta say it’s sweet! I had it in a room with lots of light temporarily and there was almost no glare on the screen. Runs awesome and is smooth on big games like Arma reforger and Genshin Impact.

I can't say that I've gone over all of the features and functions yet, but they're great, especially for the price paid. They also have a lot of flexibility as far as connectivity goes.

I recently got the Acer Nitro KGB271U and it’s been awesome. The 27‑inch 1440p screen looks sharp and vibrant, and the 200 Hz refresh rate makes gameplay incredibly smooth. This monitor is also perfect for my dual‑monitor setup when I’m day trading — I can see multiple charts and windows clearly without feeling cramped. Colors are great, motion is buttery, and input lag is super low. Whether for gaming or work, it delivers excellent performance and value. Highly recommend it!

I bought this as a second monitor when it was on sale for ~$160, even at that price I'm not super happy with it. The refresh rate is good, so is the response time, but HDR on it makes text look weird, and it has issues with viewing angles. My desk isn't the deepest, but even with this monitor about 2 feet from me, I could notice significant darkening away from the center of the monitor. As a second monitor, it's serving me fine enough that I'm not looking to return or replace it, but it would be unusable as a primary in my opinion. Lack of an adjustable stand will only make the viewing angles problem worse for most users

Super excited to share my review, super interesting deal for only 139.99$ during Black Friday. Pros: perfect for fast gaming Cons: blacks are not coming deep and clarity can be better Overall: The best gaming monitor for this price point, definitely recommend !!

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.

Excellent monitor. So far have only tested with my PS5 but so far so good! Although it’s advertised as its max resolution being 1440p, to my surprise it is also capable of 4K at 60hz!
