Got this on sale for $180, decent little monitor. If you’re looking for something to game solo games on like last of us or rise of the tomb raider you’ll enjoy this. If you are a more competitive gamer and do pvp look for an ips panel. This one ghosts a bunch making quick movements in fps’s. So when frames matter you might be behind against another player. Against the computer this will suit ya just fine for some quality qhd gaming.

The Acer Nitro KG272U Pbmiipx is a 27-inch LED gaming monitor that offers an impressive visual experience for gamers. With a WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels), it delivers sharp and clear images, providing a significant upgrade over standard Full HD displays.
One of the standout features of this monitor is its support for FreeSync technology, which helps to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering during fast-paced gaming sessions. This, combined with a 144Hz refresh rate, ensures smooth and fluid gameplay, making it suitable for competitive gaming enthusiasts.
The monitor's design is sleek and modern, with a black color scheme that gives it a sophisticated appearance. The thin bezels enhance the immersive gaming experience and make it suitable for multi-monitor setups.
Connectivity options are ample, with HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, allowing users to connect various devices such as gaming consoles and PCs. The inclusion of built-in speakers adds convenience, although dedicated gaming headsets or external speakers may still be preferred for a more immersive audio experience.
Overall, the Acer Nitro KG272U Pbmiipx is a solid gaming monitor that strikes a good balance between performance and affordability. It caters to gamers looking for a high-resolution display with smooth graphics, making it a commendable choice in the mid-range gaming monitor market.

Before I picked up this monitor, I thought I needed to upgrade my pc specs. Turns out what I really needed was a monitor upgrade. I’m not able to run games at 1440p with medium to maximum settings. And I got this on sale for $150! Saved me from spending another $500+ on a new cpu/gpu.

Very Good, Delayed Boot

Love the higher refresh and 2k display, everything seems so much smoother and more crisp! Only gripe with it is that the boot is slightly later than my other monitor, so every window opened on the secondary ends up on it after waking from sleep. Other than that, it's very good!

Overall very good monitor, HDR is pretty nice
You get what you pay for which is a really nice looking screen 1440p is a huge upgrade and totally worth it. Only bad thing I can say about this monitor is the speakers aren’t really the best.

After about a month of use I can say that this is a very good monitor, especially for the price. The picture quality is great and the refresh rate is very smooth. The only flaws are that it is slightly confusing to set up and it does not support vrr on the PS5.

This monitor is great, for the price, it is definitely above and beyond what I would normally expect. I work from home, so I use it for a second screen, and have it hooked up to my PS5 and Xbox, both look beautiful on this screen.

bought it for basically 185. Not bad for the price. Its 180hz. If you have an ips panel monitor next to this, you will see a slight difference.

I got this to upgrade my gaming area and it does not fail. Only thing, which isn’t a problem, just an observation, is that the screen size does not go fully to the ends of the monitor. Tried every resolution but nothing, looks like it’s acutally built to not do that. Which again, is not a problem, just something that others should know before purchasing and getting angry that the display doesn’t extend fully to the border.

Got a good deal on Black Friday. This monitor works as advertised. I personally don’t uses the overdrive I just use 144hz. But I like the color and the price.

Overall a very good monitor, has 180hz as advertised and the display is bright and clear. One thing to note is that there isn't actually good HDR on this monitor, although it is technically supported? Overall though, I've been satisfied with it otherwise, and the box can be easily used to transport it between places.

It’s a decent monitor to get when it’s on sale. I purchased 3 monitors and they arrived a few days later in the mail. 2 monitors were fully functional and worked as advertised. However, 1 monitor was defective. The screen was tearing and flickering. I tried everything Acer recommended to diagnose and resolve the issue. It wouls screen tear and flicker even when disconnected from my pc. I exchanged the defective unit at a Best Buy location had it in stock and got it replaced for one that worked.

A fantastic monitor for the price I got it for ~169, an unbeatable value. The only downside I would say is the mount is not adjustable, but that is such a minimal issue. 5/5 , 10/10.

I wrote up a long review and then it was deleted while I was adding pictures…here’s the short and sweet:
Amazing contrast ratio! Best this side of OLED I’ve seen.
Works great with Series X
High refresh rate, 1440p and HDR for all $169 (what I paid).
Stand is sturdy
Picture is dim, great for dark rooms, not for bright rooms.
GTG is response is better than most VA’s! Blur is noticeable but not distracting!
A lot of features not seen at this price point.

TV is great, remote stinks

I’m very happy with the tv but the remote stinks. I have a hard time using the remote. The “OK” button is actually a roller ball. Every time I try to select something, my finger must slightly move so that the cursor moves off what I’m trying to select. I downloaded the remote app onto my phone and that’s helpful. The voice command always wants to bring me to YouTube. But, we were replacing our 16 year old 55” that had a border around it. This 65” borderless tv fits in the same space as the 55” with the border. The tv picture is greatand the sound is good. We haven’t set up the surround sound yet and I haven’t missed it.
