This monitor is unmatched for the price. Great for gaming with high refresh rates, and 1080p for the best performance. It will completely change your setup, and improve your gaming experience. I wouldnt go much bigger in 1080p though, you will start to notice the lower quality.

Works with Freesync and I enjoy the ability to rotate it. I wish the base was a little more stable but otherwise everything works great and out the box.

Really impressed with this Acer Nitro 27” monitor. The image is clear and sharp, and the colors look great right out of the box. The high refresh rate makes everything feel super smooth, especially in games, and there’s no noticeable blur or tearing.
Setup was quick and painless, and the stand feels sturdy without taking up a ton of desk space. It works great for both gaming and everyday use, and the size is the sweet spot for sitting at a desk.
For the price, it’s honestly hard to beat — big upgrade over my old screen. Would definitely buy again.

I've been using this monitor for about 6 months. I bought it as a replacement for my broken monitor. It holds up pretty well. I like the adjustability on the height and it looks smooth and colors are great for the price.

It serves its purpose perfectly for gaming or as a second screen, with a pretty good refresh rate and acceptable image quality.

I bought this monitor for my sons birthday it is used for his second monitor he loves gameing. It can be used diagonal or horizontally which is great especially if you want to add a second monitor to your gameing set up. It was well worth the money. And it can easly be turned back to the diagonal position

The monitor itself looks super crisp and makes my game look really smooth but I just wish it had speakers that’s the only downfall of this and that’s why I give it a 4/5 star but the monitor itself is amazing. It was great investment that I made for gaming

Affordable Entry Level Monitor for New PC Users

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Acer has made PC monitors for a very long time and recently started making higher-end Gaming panels and even entire pre-built PCs. This monitor certainly isn't high-end, but his has the same DNA that has helped Acer become a bigger player over time. I remember Acer was actually one of the first panel makers that made 3D Vision monitors for Nvidia, so that high-refresh rate pedigree is undeniable.
This model is aimed at entry-level gamers at 1080p and 27" and 200Hz refresh rate. While 1080p is not very demanding and works well with entry-level graphics card, especially with DLSS technology, the 200Hz allows for high refresh rate gaming which can make use of the extra power of midrange graphics cards. Pair this up with a 3060/4060/5060, 6600/7600/9600 or better and you're in good shape. If you go up higher than this you can use the higher refresh rates or turn up the game settings, it all depends on the game.
This panel also supports Variable refresh rate which eliminates screen tearing without having to enable Vsync. While it is certified AMD FreeSync Premium this will also work with Nvidia G-Sync compatible mode.
The display has 3 inputs, 2xHDMI 2.0 and 1xDP 1.2 which is more than enough to support the 1080p/200Hz resolution/refresh rate. The panel is large and bright, and at 27" it is nice and big so your young ones won't strain their eyes or your wallet going with a higher resolution. Viewing angles are also good as with most IPS screens. The panel technically supports HDR 10 but given IPS blacks and contrast are relatively poor compared to OLED, this isn't something I would put too much emphasis on.
The only negative I would give this monitor is that the screen is matte, which makes the overall appearance a little less vibrant and eye-popping. It also makes it harder to clean, as glossy tends to clean up nicer. With kids that's something to consider.
For us this is absolutely perfect for my kids' gaming station. We just plug in their laptop and then they can use all of their peripherals instead of having to hunch over the smaller 15" laptop screen. We are very happy with the performance connected to a 3050Ti laptop GPU and it runs Sims4 and their other games great!
Definitely recommend especially when it can be had for much lower at BB when on sale.

I picked up the Acer Nitro XV270 as a dual purpose monitor to use with a multi-monitor setup.
TL:DR Summary - This is the monitor you want if you're looking for value and may use it for multiple purposes such as work, streaming, or gaming. Specific to gaming, if you have a decent setup with a solid graphics card, go ahead and pick up this monitor, it will absolutely be something you enjoy gaming off of. On the flip side, if you have a high end GPU that can drive a higher response rate and resolution, then you may find yourself feeling like this is a step down. My personal feelings are that the price is right and it's a good monitor, beating out many higher priced monitors designed for office use.
Pros: Low profile frame, fits in well to a multi-monitor setup
Viewing angle is fantastic, can basically see it from anywhere
AMD FreeSync Premium syncs with GPU to offer smooth gaming visuals
200 Hz refresh rate can be capped to support various levels of GPUs
Good optimization settings for custom profiles
Cons:
FHD vs 4k
Perceived visual quality loss in comparison to top end gaming monitor for transitions, vibrancy, and transitions.
In the box is the monitor, stand, power cable, and hdmi cable. Setup is easy, click the stand into the back of the monitor, screw on the base and plug it in. Specs are FHD, 200 Hz refresh rate, response rate is 0.5ms with AMD Adaptive Sync. All of this packaged in a 27", slim frame, in-plane switching (IPS) LCD, build. The monitor offers 2 x 2.0 HDMI ports and a 1.2 DP. The screen has a matte coating for glare reduction and can be viewed from any angle that you'd expect to need, I currently have this monitor angled at 45 degrees to my primary monitor and have no complaints.
As far as settings, the XV270 offers 8 profiles (3 x user selected gaming modes, custom user, standard, eco, graphics, and HDR). Within the customized settings are blue light reduction, ACM, HDR, and "Super Sharpness", ultra low latency on/off, variable refresh rate on/off, show sight target with 3 sight styles, transparency, hot key, wide mode, and HDMI black leveling. This is not an inclusive list, but everything else is what I considered standing to any monitor you may want to consider for gaming.
How do I feel about this build? It's good-ish. The gaming response is very smooth and quick, but I wish this performance came with a UHD+ resolution. Unfortunately I set this up next to a very high end gaming monitor, and the differences are visible. To be fair, the other monitor is a significant cost investment, so I'm not sure it's really an apples to apples comparison. The Acer Nitro monitor line is a solid choice, there's no glare, viewing angles are great, and for 90% of us who aren't pro gamers, this monitor performs well with no tearing and fast response.
