In competitive gaming, every frame matters. Introducing Acer's KG272U gaming monitor - the WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution monitor that can keep up with your game play. Through AMD FreeSync Premium technology, the game’s frame rate is determined by your graphics card, not the fixed refresh rate of the monitor, giving you a serious competitive edge. Plus, users can enjoy comfortable viewing experience while gaming via flicker-less, low dimming and ComfyView display. The design saves space on your desk and lets you place multiple monitors side by side to build a seamless big-screen display.
Quality Visuals
The KG272U 27" monitor with 2560 x 1440 WQHD resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio presents stunning, high quality images with excellent detail. The zero-frame design does away with the thick frames found on conventional monitors freeing up precious screen space.
AMD FreeSync Premium Technology
Say “goodbye” to stuttering and tearing. With AMD FreeSync Premium, the monitor’s frames are synced with the graphics card’s frames, which eliminates screen tearing and provides the smoothest gaming experience.
Up to 170Hz Rapid Refresh Rate
The 170Hz refresh rate speeds up the frames per second to deliver an ultra-smooth 2D motion scene. With a rapid refresh rate of up to 170Hz, Acer Monitors shorten the time it takes for frame rendering, lower input lag and provide gamers excellent in-game experience.
Goodbye Ghosting
Fast response time of 1ms enhanced gamers’ in-game experience. No matter the fast-moving action or any dramatic transitions will be all rendered smoothly without the annoying effects of smearing or ghosting.
HDR Ready
HDR is a display technology that creates deeper levels of black and white contrast, giving you a greater level immersion through realistic image recreation. Acer HDR displays support HDR10 format.
Adjustable Tilt
Find the working angle that suits you best with a screen that tilts from -5 to 15 degrees. These monitors are also wall-mountable, giving you clear views with more room.

Great for gaming with
I recently picked up the Acer Nitro KG272U Pbmiipx 27" LED WQHD FreeSync Gaming Monitor, and I have to say, it has completely transformed my gaming experience! The 27-inch screen offers an incredible 2560 x 1440 WQHD resolution, providing sharp, vibrant visuals with exceptional clarity that truly brings games to life. The colors are rich and bright, and the level of detail is impressive, even in the most demanding titles. The 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time are a game-changer for competitive gaming, offering incredibly smooth and responsive gameplay. Whether I'm racing, shooting, or exploring open-world games, the fluidity is outstanding, and I never experience any lag or screen tearing, thanks to FreeSync technology. Ergonomically, the monitor is comfortable to use for long gaming sessions. The adjustable stand allows me to customize the height and tilt to suit my setup, and the slim bezels give it a modern, sleek look that complements my space. Plus, it’s easy on the eyes, even after hours of play, with minimal flicker and reduced blue light, which makes it a solid choice for marathon gaming. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the Acer Nitro KG272U. It offers top-notch performance, stunning visuals, and great features, all at an affordable price. If you’re looking for a high-quality gaming monitor that delivers on both performance and design, this is an excellent choice!

Works with Mac Mini M2
When on sale at $169, this is an excellent buy. Was shopping to upgrade monitor for new M2 Mac, and originally was going to get Dell or HP work monitor. Those looked drab at the store, so I took chance on this while on sale. Have to say works just about perfect with M2 Mini. Supports HDR, but sometimes the HDR turns off on the Mac. Not sure if that's a cable or MacOS glitch. Using HDMI currently, haven't tried DisplayPort. HDR looks good, but not in the same league as a high end monitor or TV. Can't speak to the gaming, but as a day to day work monitor, and on sale, this is an excellent buy.
