Customer Ratings & Reviews

The monitor was good quality. At first the hdmi was bugging out and stuff, it was user error, but i ended up using a displayport cable and using the hdmi it came with on my secondary monitor. It has a beautiful glossy finish, the 1080p 320hz mode isnt on by default, you have to enable it in the nonitors osd menu. The buttons were horrible, but i have gotten used to them and its much easier to use now. Also there is a app to adjust some of the setting without the buttons, its “acerwidgetdisplay” i think. Now the miniled, at first it wasnt on, there isnt a button for it to be turned on or adjusted either, i found out, it enables itself when you select the HDR profile in the monitors settings, im unsure if you have to use windows HDR to, but i do as it helps. I dont enjoy it being like this, and would love for it to be able to be turned on and adjusted on any profile i like. The miniled itself is good. During the day, with sunlight, the blacks are truly black, colors pop, its a big upgrade from your standard ips. There is blooming of course, but its only with somethings, and like i said, during the day, its so hard to see. In the night, the blacks are less black, but are still very good, when j was comparing to my secondary monitor thats just a standard ips, the difference was amazing. Also changing from being a 60hz user to 320 or even 160, was life changing, i can never go back. Everything was so faster, and when im playing competitive games, its super smooth. Video quality is ok, some video’s on youtube in black areas seem to do some kind of wierd overpixelated lighter zones. But it dosent really affect me. Overall this is a pretty good monitor, with my biggest downside being the buttons and especially how limited the miniled or dimming zones are.

Local dimming doesn't work properly with HDR sources. Every single time you wake from sleep or start using the monitor, you need to use the poorly laid out controls to enter the on-screen display and change to a different picture mode and back to HDR to fix it. Incredibly annoying but the picture looks horrible until you do these steps.

Item came in perfect condition. Just wanted a 4k monitor for long term use.

Bought new in February, barely used and already broken. Backlight strobing/flashing

(Dear Acer, please release a firmware update that learn you directly turn off and on local dimming and also enable you to edit contrast and colors in hdr mode.) Ok so I upgraded from a 27GP950-B and I wanted to sell my dell alien ware 360hz monitor . Since this had dual mode and was HDR 1000 I figured why not ? I got it during the Black Friday deal era for $449.99 at Best Buy. Firstly , let’s address the elephant in the room . The HDR on this monitor is great . I haven’t seen really any noticeable blooming . You have to have the monitor in hdr mode and windows with hdr turned on to use hdr and more specifically to use local dimming the monitor has to be on hdr mode. (That's the mistake the 1-star review didn't know) Local dimming works with sdr content and hdr off on my ps5 but not my pc. I have to hdr turned on regarding my pc. The quality is solid . I’m not sure if there’s a panel lottery because I don’t have any crazy bloom or anything as seen . Also note it looks even better than my camera as it exaggerates some of the brightness . Make sure you download the Windows Calibration app for HDR. Some games you might have to download mods to get hdr working properly but this is a windows issue. Regarding the osd , it’s not as bad as people make it out to be . Could it be better ? Yes, but once you get used to it, it gets the job done . You can also download a Acer desktop app in order to control the monitor . For the price I paid (I also used a 45 dollar certificate so paid like 404 for it ), I am happy and feel like it’s a good value . If you’re on the fence about this monitor , buy it from BestBuy if you're local and just return it if you don’t like it . All and all monitor like a solid 8.8-9. The fact I can’t edit the color and contrast on the monitor itself in hdr takes it back 1-1.2 points for but my gpu settings make up for it . Note: I don’t usb ports on the monitor or audio because of NVIDA drivers blue screening my computer for nvida Audio sending HiD input via the monitor. It’s the nvlddmkm.sys issue . I disabled audio drivers and roll backed my drivers.

Extremely poor edge lighting, either that or a defective unit. Left and right screen edges fade to be ~50% darker. Top is only ~10% darker. Bottom screen edge is fine. OSD UX is terrible. HDR mode results in high amounts of heat due to poor thermal solution. It is noticeable within sitting distance. Do not assume this is an upgrade of the praised XV275U P3. Do not buy at $600, and return if you experience the same edge lighting.

I've been through a lot of monitors over the years, and they've all been budget monitors, so this is a big upgrade for me. It's also my first monitor with higher than FHD (1920x1080) resolution. The monitor is very bright. I had to turn down the brightness from the default 80 to keep eye strain at bay. Text is clear at the 150% scaling that Windows 10 recommended. While this is a gaming monitor, it's also being used for productivity, which it appears to be highly rated for as well. You may find you have to figure out the monitor settings that are best for you by trial and error. There are also some issues related to Windows and/or your GPU that can come into play. The issues aren't necessarily because of this monitor in particular, just general issues with using multiple monitors. With my dual monitor setup, this primary 4K display next to a Full HD monitor creates some issues. Moving between the two can be annoying, since the edges don't scale between the two. You can move from the Full HD monitor to the 4K monitor easily, but you can only move the reverse direction from half of the 4K monitor's edge. What half that is depends on how you have the displays set up in Windows. It's like you have 1 big misshapen monitor as far as moving your cursor around is concerned, though you have a little control over that shape. I'm was already looking at a 2nd 4K monitor to pair with this one, and this is another reason to make the move. HDR seems to be something you need to manually set in the OSD whenever you want to stream HDR content. I haven't found a setting combination between the monitor, Windows, and the GPU software that knows when to turn HDR on and off reliably. I don't have enough experience with HDR content to offer meaningful input on HDR quality on this monitor. Waking up from any kind of power saving (system sleep or powering off the displays) can move open windows around from monitor to monitor depending on your setup. In my case, I had to change monitor settings on this one so the open windows on my 2nd monitor don't move to this primary 4K display every time I wake the computer or the monitors up from sleep. You may or may not have that issue based on multiple things, like your GPU and how you are connecting your monitors to the GPU (HDMI/DP/etc.) In the end, the monitor appears to be well made, good quality, and hopefully will last a very long time for both gaming and productivity use.

Item stand came damage. Also the panel was defective and I don't think that had anything to do with physical damage. It would keep blinking to black. The colors and light were bright, but it was very cumbersome to try to use HDR and take advantage. It could have been great ; but instead it was a great waste of time. Based on my experience with this monitor, I don't think MINILED are ready for primetime. Disappointing since the panel color and light seem beautiful. The quality control of the package, stand, panel, and OSD are all terrible.

Fantastic gaming monitor great pure blacks the colors are superb

Monitor has a great picture at an excellent price.
