I got this for my boyfriend for Black Friday/cyber Monday and he loves it! He wanted a new 4k montior with higher resolution, larger frame size, and better specs for gaming and this monitor was exactly what he wanted! All of his gamer friends are jealous!

Great graphics bigger screen and no input lag 10/10

Very good response time as well as great graphic display have had zero issues

Amazing monitor, great gaming experience! I 100% recommend it

Perfect for PS5 and as a desktop display for MacBook pro.

Woth it being sold out i opted for the open nox excellent option, it was at Panama which was a 3hr round trip unfortunately. On arriving to collect the conditon couldnt have been any different. It was a dusty monitor on the floor with no box, no cables. Having driven that far for a misleading item did not bother the manager, he couldnt care. They tech support found a power supply for a different monitor but that was it. Still missing other cables. live chat werent able to assist at all. Will never use best buy again after this experience.

I picked up a pair of these a couple months back for $569 each and can say i have no regrets. I was previously using a 49" Ultrawide but was growing tired of having to either play games Fullscreen and hope for the best, or to play in Windowed mode for better performance at a lower resolution. I have both of them mounted on VESA Mounts on my Desk. I will caution, that if you're looking to put these on mounts, you will need to purchase a Spacer Mounting Kit as the mounting is inside a Circular cut out that the stock Stands sit into. There are no VESA 75x75 circular mounts that I've been able to find. You might be able to 3D Print custom ones, or buy one somewhere. It's really the oddest design choice. It was largely my single concern, despite having a large enough desk to fit them on, I needed them elevated and didn't know if I could make it work, thankfully with the spacers it did. Hopefully ACER will recognize the need and offer a kit to convert it from 75x75 to 100x100. Picture quality, it's fantastic. Again coming from 49" MiniLED to this, I really am not missing anything. I do think these hold brightness better however and get a little brighter. I don't have the equipment to measure that, but from what I've heard they easily hit their 1000 Nits mark. I really thought I was going to be taking a step back, but It isn't that much of a difference. My ultrawide did have over 2000 Local Dimming zones or just over a 1000 per side (2 2560x1440 screens in one.) which would be double these individually. The biggest difference is Blooming. On my Ultrawide it was very well controlled with all those Dimming Zones and it was very hard to discern the any haloing or blooming. On these it's not as controlled. Ghosting is pretty minimal, though I have seen some in some games that I've played. Motion blur can help, but it's not going to eliminate it. Connectivity wise, I was happy to see they included Type-C as an input alongside DP 1.4 and HDMI 2.1. And yes it's real HDMI 2.1. You can in fact hook up your PS4 Pro, PS5 or Series X and get 4k120 on these without issue. They do have built-in Speakers, but I don't use them as I primarily use Headphones with a DAC and Amp. Likely the biggest complaint I have and many others have expressed is the controls. Why they put buttons on an $800 monitor, when a cheaper model monitor of theirs has a joystick is absolutely bizarre. It would in fact have cost less to put a single joystick on the bottom with a power button, as it would also be less wiring and less electronics. The OSD is also clunky and not the easiest to navigate, again, one of their cheaper monitors has a much better interface. ACER does however offer an app you can download that allows you to adjust some of the settings. It's pretty hit and miss unfortunately, but if you can't stand using the buttons, it's passable. Overall, they're excellent screens. Sure you can try and get more expensive ones, or ones with more dimming zones, (the 1000 Dimming Zone ones are all cheaper looking and even cheaper built) for a similar price point, but these are really hard to beat, especially if you can get them when they're on sale for $600. If you're looking to move to 4k and they're on sale, you absolutely cannot get anything similar for the same price without going to a lower resolution, or going to a display that is only 60Hz.

Let me start with the fact that I have been using a 24" TN panel monitor for about 5 years now and am very used to washed out colors, so my experience with how most modern monitors looks may be skewed and this may not be the best review ever because of that. That said, the Acer XV275K P3 is easily the best monitor that I have seen personally aside from a friend's Alienware 34" oled monitor. The only other panels I have seen personally that might be nicer are OLED TVs from the likes of LG (the C2 series for instance), but the difference is really not that big. Things I like about this panel: - color accuracy. It comes calibrated from the factory! - Brightness with HDR enabled is incredible. - the I/O is pretty good -obviously, 3840x2160/4K is wonderful -160hz refresh rate (only over displayport, not HDMI) Things I don't like: - the stand. dont get me wrong, it works, but the strut portion feels very cheap - the OSD menu is basically terrible and reminiscent of display menus from 5-10 years ago - the 576 FALD zones are pretty good, but there will be some blooming in scenes with a mix of dark and light areas. - adaptive sync/"AMD Freesync Premium" still is not as good as a monitor with a G-sync module, as I could immediately tell coming from my last technically-worse-in-every-way monitor. Its way better than having no VRR support though, thats for sure. - Windows HDR is pretty bad if you are just wanting to use your PC for anything other than HDR videos or games. It ends up washing everything out. - fairly dim if OSD is not in HDR mode.

I've been waiting a long time for Mini LED monitors to drop to a justifiable price, and we're finally here! TLDR, I came for the local dimming, I stayed for the HDR. For preface, I've been gaming on a 4K/60 Samsung UR55 and LG C1 OLED previously, so this review will compare this monitor against an OLED TV and a standard edge lit IPS monitor. Local Dimming: At $550 (sale price), I couldn't refuse the upgrade to high refresh rate and local dimming on my main monitor, I don't always want to/can't couch game on the OLED. The capabilities of this monitor were different from what I expected. First of all, if you're here for deep blacks and contrast, you may be somewhat disappointed. The matte screen spreads light bleed even beyond a Mini LED TV, meaning you won't be getting those inky blacks in, for example, 4:3 content with black pillarboxing. In practice, this is fine for most games and movies, as it still gets dark enough where you won't be bothered by it like a standard monitor, but just know you aren't getting the same level as a glossy OLED panel. Local dimming can be toggled in SDR mode. Using dark modes in regular desktop use doesn't look great with local dimming, so if you are bothered by the way it looks, it can be set to look like any normal direct lit monitor. Responsiveness: Compared to OLED, pixel response time is nowhere near the same level of smoothness. Expect the same feel as any other IPS monitor. I felt like 60fps on OLED was just as responsive as 120 on this monitor. OSD: As other reviews have mentioned, the onscreen display is kinda awful. You have to manually enable and disable HDR (Auto is just On), even between inputs, and when it is enabled there are very few tweakable picture settings. The buttons are way worse than the joystick on other monitors. HDR and Color: Where this monitor truly shines, however, is in HDR performance. Mine gets around 1100 nits of peak brightness and it is glorious. I was impressed by the 800-nit peak on my OLED, but this is really something else. And no fear of burn in or pixel wear! I tested Hitman 3, Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk, and Control with the HDR mod, and was blown away by how bright the highlights can get and how colorful and vibrant this monitor is. HDR is the kind of thing that you really have to see to understand how amazing it looks, and this monitor absolutely nails HDR. I also tried using Special K to enable HDR in other games, like Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and it definitely requires per-game tweaking but the results are incredible for a DIY solution. Even SDR content (with Windows having HDR turned on) still looks good. Make sure you tweak your SDR brightness and calibrate HDR color first! I have not tried Windows Auto HDR but I'm sure this would look great as an easy alternative to Special K. Longer TLDR: HDR performance is absolutely fantastic and highlights get super bright. Local dimming is good for most content but can be underwhelming due to the matte screen. The responsiveness is the same as any other IPS, not as good as OLED. The OSD is bad but mostly serviceable.

I needed a new monitor, and after weeks of research decided to get this one. I downsized from an old 32" 4K edge-lit, and wow, what a difference! This monitor is bright! I no longer have eye strain! The colors are beautiful right out of the box, although a tad bit overly saturated, and I did have to tweak them, but that was my preference. I enabled HDR in Windows and on the monitor, and it's perfect for gaming and productivity. The 4K resolution alone (without HDR) is amazing for gaming; it's even better with HDR. I wish the base were flat, instead of this weird claw, but it's sturdy and moves up, down, swivels, and tilts like a dream. The lights on the back are pretty, but as I don't see them, what is the point? They are not bright enough to throw ambient light when gaming. Very happy with my purchase. The only con is that the OSD is not the best, but you get used to it. There is an app that will allow you to toggle most settings. I use this monitor with a splitter, and it works great.

I was in the market for a new monitor to play starfield on that had better blacks and stumbled across this mini led one. Got it on sale for $599.99 which for 4K HDR 1000 and 160hz sounds like a heck of a deal. The monitor looks absolutely beautiful when playing 4k HDR content. It gets very very bright and the blacks are very solid but holy cow there is a lot of blooming. I tried messing around with settings but couldnt get it how I wanted. The blooming is bad to the point there is a big white halo around your mouse cursor. I think I will continue to use it a while and see how much it really bugs me. I do find it hard to believe there is 500-570 local dimming zones though. The bad blooming really only happens with the color white I should add. Other colors seem to be fine with mnimal blooming.

Great hdr monitor, good fast refresh, suits well movies and games. The stand is taking too much space, switched to another more compact vesa 75 stand. The settings menu and buttons navigation on the monitor is really not so good, all buttons are on the bottom, really hard to find right one

Good monitor when it is on sale, I personally had no problems with the screen or panel myself. On the other hand though the stand takes up a lot of space and trying to mount the monitor is a pain. As expected OSD controls were a pain to use, and Auto HDR mode doesn't seem to work at least not for me. Overall a good Mini Led monitor to buy when it's on sale for its vibrant colors and deep blacks if you are willing to sacrifice a lot of desk space.

Tried using LG 42 OLED as a monitor but ABL and changing my usage to prevent burn in got annoying. Additionally, text was blurry on the LG. Got this Acer Nitro as a replacement. Pros - Very sharp text - Manageable size - Works with MacOS and M1, no issues - I thought the OSD was straight forward to use - Comes with USB C, HDMI, display port cables - Excellent HDR and gaming performance - Don't really notice blooming - Adjustable stand Cons - Edges are slightly dark and have a bluish hue, not distracting unless I'm looking for it Overall - Great value for $550 when on sale - Gets as bright and looks as good as my Macbook Pro miniLED screen

I picked it up at the same time everyone else did, while it was on sale for $599. That makes it the least expensive UHD monitor with miniLEDs currently on the market. Having said that, I don't feel like it's an $800 monitor. I wouldn't pay retail for this, because bigger options exist with twice as many LEDs for around that price. Further to this, I had to exchange my first unit due to some screen clouding, pixel issues. The QC feels a little lackluster, but nothing wrong with my second unit so far. Because it's a new release by Acer, all the ports are up to date. You get HDMI 2.1 (@144hz) and displayport 1.4 (@160hz). The USB 3.0 hub is kinda cool too, especially if you have something like a Galaxy watch charging cable, which are notoriously short and don't reach the desk otherwise. It's nice if you use wired keyboards/mice too. Audio jack lets you leave speakers connected to the monitor instead of having to connect them directly to a laptop every time you want to dock. It gets really bright in HDR mode (higher than 1000 nits). It's actually quite impressive. There is a fan inside but it doesn't get incredibly hot nor loud either. No coil whine at all. It also includes every cable it supports, which are all good quality. This was surprising. The stand sadly takes up a lot more desk space than necessary, but aftermarket Vesa mounts/stands are compatible. Factor that into your budget if you're cramped for space. Overall, this is the best monitor you're gonna get right now for the price (when it's on sale). Other brands in the $500-600 range might look promising but they won't be miniLED and they'll be lacking in some critical area like outdated ports, brightness, etc.

The picture quality is amazing in most situations, with good color (after adjustments) and awesome brightness. The refresh rate and responsiveness are quite solid. However, the mini LED backlighting algorithm chooses to alter a whole 9 square inches around my cursor on a dark background, and similarly will create huge non-uniform color halos when grays and blacks are dominant. The user menu is horrific to navigate, and you have to hold a button for maybe 20 seconds to adjust some settings. The RGB light on the back isn't bright enough to do anything. Finally, while it's possible to adjust settings to work in most situations, you can't save them properly, so you end up having to fiddle for many minutes between use cases. The background of the webpage in the photo shown should be a solid grey. This coloration is much less apparent with lower brightness settings, but HDR/high brightness use will expose it pretty quickly.

well i read a lot of reviews before buying this and i have only had it a week now. i even boxed it back up and started a return just to find out from someone else that has it all my problems where being caused by a bad DP cable. so, I'm using the HDMI 2.1 one and now it works fine. acer needs to supply the highest quality cables for this monitor. anyways the good n bad...I'll take minimal blooming any day over IPS glow-bad contrast-bad black uniformity. this monitor has none of those issues. yeah, the OSD is not the greatest and same with the navigation buttons but once you fine a setting you like there is no need to change it EVER. and the desktop software called acer display widget helps a lot. i just leave it on HDR and it's amazing even on non HDR stuff. I'm glad i get 60 days to test it out because who knows what's going to happen but BestBuy doesn't sell another mini-led that I'm aware of so the only other option would be OLED. and once you see how mini-led black levels look like there is no going back to a normal IPS panel. to test this just turn off adaptive dimming and reboot your pc and you will be treated to IPS glow and every other problem that most IPS panels suffer from. so mini-Leds really are awesome for the most part. the only thing i have found is the monitor driver is not digitally signed so we cannot use it until acer fixes this problem. i have called and told them about it and hope they pass the info on to the correct department.

Compared to OLED, there will be some blooming in dark environments, especially with demanding fine scenes. However, for the vast majority of scenes, blooming will be minor and not very noticeable. Other aspects to consider is that OLEDs do not get very bright currently, which is where this monitor shines (1200 nits). Moreover, there is no fear of an burn-in. For the price ($600), this is really hard to beat for all the features and it provides a very good value.

Pros: Bright picture with colors that pop with hdr1000 support, 160hz refresh rate local dimming with more zones than sonys m9 monitor, price is very competitive especially when on sale. Cons: only con is the interface. Its a small hassle to deal with when looking at everything else

The display visual quality is very nice. HDR on this looks like a clear improvement over HDR400 certified monitors and the local dimming makes a big difference over typical IPS monitors. The monitor settings are a little awkward to use since there's no joystick style button, but it's generally ok. Blooming with local dimming is visible at times when large black spaces are contrasted with light colored bright objects (e.g. a mouse cursor on a dark background) but in general it's not obvious and definitely enhances the image. At the price of $600 I think this is currently unbeatable. I would not pay not for an oled when you consider the drawbacks of oled compared to this miniled - mainly oled burn in, text clarity and price.
