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.

I love this monitor especially for the price i got it for, the image in this is beautiful and sharp, runs at 170hz and 1440. I got a ps5 and it handles it perfect. The only thing I didn’t like much was the speakers they are as good as everything else.

This monitor has a really nice picture quality and the HDR is good. It's also nice to have 170hz with 1440p resolution. It also has a good settings interface and you can tweak a lot of the picture settings to your own liking. The only thing I would say could be better is the build quality, as there's not much adjusting to do and the screen is a bit wonky. Overall this is great, worth the $170 paid.

Ive had this monitor for about a year now, i had been thinking about getting a second monitor and i swear for the life of me i can't find one that is as nice as this one around the same price point. Every other monitor i get has less vibrant color and looks dingy compared. It makes me really regret that i didnt get two when they were still in stock. 10/10 would recommend if it ever becomes available again (im keeping an eye out for myself and hoping ) the one on the right is this monitor and the left one is a different one the color speaks for itself

For the price, I’m blown away. Easy to set up, great size, and many features you can toggle. Only minor complaint is volume can be a little quiet.

Love this monitor especially with the high resolution and 170hz. I only use my ps5 with it and it works amazing. My only complaint is the color in the different modes that aren’t HDR, they seem dull or blueish. It really just makes you run HDR on all the time, which I don’t have a problem with, but it can seem really bright at times at night. Set up is easy. And worth the price when it’s on discount.

The only thing holding this monitor back is the low volume speakers. I bought the monitor to game and watch movies and the integrated speakers was a big selling point. I was highly disappointed at the volume level of the speakers for watching shows. However,
for gaming the speakers are at a comfortable level, with team mates being able to hear voice chat through the playstation camera with no echo or bleedthrough of monitor speakers. THIS IS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED, AND A PERFECT GAMING MONITOR HANDS DOWN!!
