> 24 hourNot a bad monitor but I use it on my laptop and I just get the blue screen over and over like it makes my computer crash when its plugged in. This happens several times throughout the day. The picture quality is excellent.

> 24 hourSo i got this product delivered on Monday April 2nd And when i opened it and set the stand up, I tried hooking my xbox to the hmdi inport on the moniter, and there was no signal at all and all i was left with was flashing colors.For your information my xbox does not have a problem because i have tried hooking my xbox to another moniter, back to the big main point i called acer up and tried their trouble shooting and nothing worked they told me i had 3 years of warranty and could get it inspected by a professional i am not gonna go through that sturggle by shipping it and packaging and waiting a long time so I returned it, the overall thing is to never by moniters of off amazon because it could be broken or damaged, I ended up buying acers 27 inch moniter it worked perfectly so yea dont order moniters online.

> 24 hourI really do love this monitor, but i’ve only had it for a month and it has started to black out. Basically just turns to a black screen then turns back on. It’s super annoying, especially for gaming. Other people have seemed to have the same problem in the reviews, so please consider this before buying.

> 24 hourOnboard Monitor Menu: Yes it is accessible by a joystick, plus you have 3 buttons to help you select different categories or customizable modes. Frame and Edges: 0.5 inches from the edge we start to see the screen. This means that 1 inch would separate two of these monitors side-by-side. This is fairly decent for a dual setup, I would personally invest in a 2k/4k monitor setup to bundle with this monitor. Viewing Angles: This monitor truly has very sharp and stunning viewing angles, furthermore it is perfect for doing editing on a budget. Brightness or Luminance: Extremely bright in fact, it is crazy bright. I have mine running on 0% brightness with night mode enable and it is still bright. I would have to tweak the settings outside of the brightness to dim the light on this monitor. This is an LCD LED backlight panel. Response Rate: HDMI 2.0 and a display cable out of the box that supports up to 165hz. I have not experienced any form of ghosting, I do not have a GPU so I am currently running a Ryzen 2200g APU. I have played Apex Legends, COD War Zone, and League of Legends. I am unable to test other games as I am without the RTX 3080 at this time. Adjustability: The monitor is able to tilt up or down. You would need a mounting stand to support the landscape view. This desktop mount is very sturdy. Display: Full 1080p FHD LCD LED Backlight Screen. This monitor arrived in a thick Styrofoam package. 100% free of dead pixels, I could not believe it myself 0 dead pixels. I have friends who bought pricey monitors that came with dead pixels. Surprisingly I have none of those issues. I did however noticed minor IPS glow. I would say very small amounts as it is almost not noticeable until the screen is pitch black and you have to stare in the left corner to see it. Comfortable on the eyes and suitable for gaming for extended periods. Monitor Size: 27-inch monitors range between 24-25 wide and 14-18 tall depending on how they measure the height. This monitor checks out as a 27-inch monitor based on my measurement check. Monitor Appearance (Build Quality): Black color finish with red accents at the stand, barely noticeable. Blue lit indicator when the monitor is on and dark orange when the monitor is off. I feel that ACER could have included some red glow backlight on the back, or a fancy imprint on the plastic to make it fancy. Speakers: Very good if you want to watch YouTube or listen to calm music while working/studying. I would not recommend them for your daily driver but they are nice to have. They are not so loud about 93 Decibels between the two of them. Contrast Ratio: Dark blacks satisfactory but could have been better. It is an IPS monitor which helps to deliver quality images. I have not yet adjusted the contrast because I am happy with the way it is. Bezels: Extremely narrow and handly noticeable unless you use some stretchy wallpaper. Stuck pixels nope 0%. 8 Months of Use Update: (Still I am unable to buy a 6900xt or an RTX 3080 at this point, I am thinking of getting a PS5 for this monitor until then) HDMI cable is rather unstable after 8 months, as a true chad I found out that watching some videos from some sites affected the image delivered to the display. It would need me to plug it out an in again, strangely this was not the monitor going bad it was just that the HDMI was not of that good aftermarket quality. Brightness - The nits on this thing is insane, very bright for some reason but I like it. I would give this Monitor a 9/10 for 1080p gaming.

> 24 hourBought this to replace a hastily-bought cheap one with a low refresh rate that was making my head go funny. This one is much better, very good picture quality, no funny head, and it even bounced back from having my cat spray on it. Im not a gamer so I can speak to how it performs in that area, but it definitely does everything I need it to do!

> 24 hourThe HDR is pretty cool. Color is a little bit off but thats not my main reason for the low rating. No matter what I do, I notice a lot of ghosting. Wouldnt recommend because this can get in the way of lots of movement based games.

> 24 hourIve been looking for a 27 165Hz Gaming Monitor for a while and oh boy, I think this is the one! I have been using this Monitor for well over 2 months on heavy use, so heres my current review. The KG272 is an Amazing Monitor, the picture quality is fantastic, and the brightness is great, although keep in mind it took me around 1 hour to adjust all of the brightness settings because when the monitor comes right out of the box, its really... REALLY dim. The Speakers on the KG272 are well... not amazing but not exactly terrible, but thats expected as most monitors, including this one is not going to have good speakers, I advise just using headphones and plugging it into the monitor itself. Wait, did I forget to mention that part? Yeah, one of the really odd designs of this about this monitor is that to receive any audio you MUST plug your headphones into the monitor, if you dont plug your headphones, headset, earphones, etc, into the monitor, well youre out of luck, say goodbye to audio! Ive noticed that there is little to no ghosting either or any backlight bleed, which is a HUGE problem with a lot of Gaming monitors, so Im super glad Acer has this under control for the KG272. Alright now lets talk about the stand, the stand is actually REALLY solid for what it is, with hard plastic and a metal base to hold the monitor, it stays in its place really solidly and doesnt wiggle/shake at all, although it depends on what youre doing of course. Oh, also here is a few tips/troubleshooting for anyone thats confused on why their monitor will not run at the advertised 165Hz! - Make sure your cable support 165Hz, if it doesnt, buy one. - Make sure your cable is plugged into your Graphics Card display port, this is a common issue among a lot of people where they just plug it into the motherboard. - Make sure you set your 165Hz settings in Windows, to get to this go to Settings > System > Display > Advanced Display and select the highest refresh rate you can. Hope that helps if anyone is confused on why it isnt working properly! Overall, I think this Monitor is really solid and well worth the price after 2 months of use and I will keep everyone updated if anything happens in the next months (5/25/22).

> 24 hourThe monitor itself is overall great. I have three of these monitors. I had two, and just received this one as my third monitor. HOWEVER, the joystick was completely messed up. When I tried to move it to adjust my settings, it went inside my monitor. The buttons above the joystick had to be pressed SO hard to even work. I’ve never had this issue before. Just be careful. They may have changed something they were doing, or using cheaper material. Maybe my product was faulty.
