Acer KG271 bmiix 27 Full HD (1920 x 1080) TN Monitor with AMD FREESYNC Technology (2 x HDMI & VGA Port),Black

Nice and as expected. Giving 4 stars because, as other reviewers stated, it does make that crackling/ something dropping inside the monitor sound even when not on... Strange... If was using it and turned off, I would expect to be some sort of cooling down noise of some components or of their housing. However, middle of the night, it makes a cracking/ something dropping sound... I purchased 2 for dual/ expended setup and only one (I think) is making the noise. I seriously hope it doesnt go buff and become a brick on me.

Its big. I didnt realize how big it actually was. Bought this to upgrade from a 21 or 24, I cant remember which. The screen is amazing. Not the best screen by far, but I like it. The speakers are terrible. Even at the highest volume I cant hear the whispering in movies. Other than that it does what it is supposed to. It does have a headphone jack that you can use, but I havent used it, so I cant say whether it is better or not. For the price I would recommend this but would also recommend a set of speakers if you do get it.

Decent looking monitor and it performed well, but there are a couple of major drawbacks to this monitor if you are planning on using it for a triple screen setup. I chose these for my sim racing rig mostly because of the zero frame/small bezel width. It does have very small bezels, however, the screen does not extend all the way to the frame so it negates the benefits of the small bezels. Also, there is a protrusion on the bottom of the monitors that do not allow you to mate up the screens without a visible gap. These are also very loud. There is a constant ticking sound coming from the back of the monitors when on. I didnt notice it while gaming with the volume up, but as soon as you stop gaming its very noticeable and extremely annoying. Now imagine 3 of them all ticking at the same time. I also had to fight with Amazon for a half a day about returning them. Finally they relented. Just be aware of that.

I have an Xbox One S and so does my wife. I bought 2 of these KG271 model monitors. Neither monitor worked with either Xbox. I tried 4 different HDMI cords from the standard cord that comes with the Xbox to a HDMI 3.0 and nothing worked with either Xbox. I even bought a HDMI to DP adapter and tried that and still did not work. I tried to plug my laptop into it via HDMI and it did not work either. If you are buying this monitor to use for a console then DO NOT waste your time. I have it 3 stars because I felt it was fair considering I am getting a refund however my time is being wasted. The monitor came with a DP cord, there should be an option to come with the HDMI or other. The monitor has this function where it auto scans for the input source and since it couldn’t detect the HDMI then it kept going into idle mode. I had to keep turning it on then timing it just before it shut off to switch the input. It was a pain and a huge waste of my time. As I said if you’re buying the KG271 series for a console, look elsewhere! I can’t speak for PC although my laptop did not work via HMDI but does not have a DP.

I bought 1 of the 144Hz monitors and 2 of the 75Hz monitors and I F-ing LOVE them!!! Thank you Acer!!! And thank you Amazon for delivering so early too. I got them at like 9am instead of 5pm like usual lol They showed up in a Prime Van and I was able to track the van and new to thee exact second when my order would be here. So cudos to you Amazon for that!

These monitors worked great for me straight out of the box with 0 issues. Running true @ 1920 x 1080 (preferred resolution) with 144hz on both monitors using display cables. Excellent gaming monitors.

Ive been using 2 of these for about a year and a half, one display for gaming and the other for utility (movies, discord, streaming, etc) and Ive had nothing but good luck with them. You get exactly what you pay for, a 1ms 75hz gaming monitor. Be aware you will not get 75 fps unless you change your windows settings, it defaults to 60. As for the price I think its a great value for someone getting into pc GAMING anything other than that I would recommend a different type of monitor all together. But for right around 100$ this is a great quality monitor. The color is pretty good, nothing to write home about but it was pretty good in my opinion, just remember this is a 1080p monitor and nothing more, dont expect 4k resolution. I use an NVIDIA card so I cant speak on behalf of the AMD freesync settings. The monitor itself has built in presets for colors but I very rarely used them, I found one that worked for me and stuck with it. The built in speakers are pretty bad, sounds like its being produced in a tincan, I highly recommend a secondary speaker set or a headset (or both) but something like that is to be expected around this price point. The only time I had any issue with the monitor was when I turned off V-sync, while it increased my FPS dramatically the screen tearing was very pronounced but thats what happens to any monitor thats being given more information than it can handle. In conclusion this is a great valued monitor that I would recommend to anyone who is starting off in PC gaming but doesnt want to spend an arm and a leg on peripherals.

love that its a reasonable size, and it takes care of your eyes. My husbands last monitor gave him a headache and this monitor doesnt harm your eyes at all. I like that its bright and clear

I do light gaming and a lot of video editing. Blacks look nice on this monitor and the brightness is great. I wish there was a height adjustment, but it only has a tilt feature. People are having a bit of trouble with FREESYNC and it is true. FREESYNC did work for me in the first few months but it stopped working after that. I know there is a way to fix it with some drivers from ACER, but I just never bothered. The monitor does say that it can support 144Hz but I am only able to get a max of 75Hz. I know it has something to do with the FREESYNC, but I just never bothered because I dont really notice any ghosting when I play games or when I am working on videos. If you want to have a decent monitor then this is the one for you. If you are a snob about video quality then go with the ACER Predator series.

Monitor arrived in the standard monitor box with no additional outer protection. This was fine as it did appeared to have been handled well. Super simple set up. Its not high end, but for the price, its a good deal. Ive never had issues with Acer monitors, and I dont suspect I will with this unit. Im satisfied.
