Acer Nitro VG271U Pbmiipx 27 WQHD (2560 x 1440) IPS AMD Radeon FREESYNC Gaming Monitor, 144Hz, VESA Certified Display HDR400, DCI-P3, (2 HDMI 2.0 & 1 Display Port), Black

So far so good, using this on console. The stand it comes with is horrid. The price is almost twice the price here on Amazon, you should definitely look else where for a cheaper price.

upgraded from a 1080p 60hz monitor to this and I love it. For gaming the 144hz display is amazing! This monitor has hdr 400, it is sadly disappointing, but its better than nothing. But overall this is a great monitor.

This has great color accuracy, great picture quality. Gets REALLY bright if you need it to be. Controls are pretty simple, and refresh rate even goes up to 170

This took some time to calibrate, but once I did it’s a great monitor for photo editing and gaming.

Make sure you have a strong enough graphics card to drive this. Works great if that is there!

Beautiful right out of the box and worth every penny. This is my first day with it and I love it. Im using it for my nintendo switch and smash bros looks amazing. Cant wait to see splatoon and others. The colors pop and brightness is very good! If anything changes I will update.

(UPDATE DEC 2021) The pixel ghosting I mention below actually has to do with inverse ghosting, better known as overshoot. This was happening because I had Overdrive turned on to Extreme. Turning it down to Normal allowed the overshoot to eliminate almost entirely, but, you will notice a little bit of blurring while playing something. Its honestly fine, and may actually resolve itself at higher refresh rates. The problems I was having were pretty much related to Skyrim and playing it at 60Hz on this monitor. (UPDATE NOV 2021): After installing Windows 11 I decided to finally give some time to figure out how to properly set up HDR on this monitor. Im glad I did. Setting the monitor to HDR 400 (it has an Auto setting I didnt find quite as good) and messing with some color settings in Nvidia Control Panel game me an amazing experience that Im glad I took the time to get. Whites are actually white (at least in games), light sources pop, and theres just better depth to everything. Im so glad I took the time finally to do this. Still going to leave it at 4-Stars though because no matter how you cut it, this is not a top-tier monitor and still has some pixel ghosting issues when playing games where there are a lot of bright colors on screen at the same time. _____________________________________________________ (Original Review) First, Id like to say that Im using a 10-series Nvidia GPU. Changing around the refresh rate and color was done in Nvidia Control Panel, and monitor settings were obviously done on the monitor itself. That said, Im mostly happy with this monitor, and I think you will as well. Youll just need to know a few things before buying it to get the most from it: 1. Dont forget to use a DisplayPort or HDMI 2 cable. A regular HDMI cable is restricted to a 60Hz signal, so you wont get 144 unless you use the right cable. I only say this because in almost every instance where someone Ive spoken to claimed there was almost no difference between 60 and 144, it was because they used a regular HDMI cable, sticking themselves to 60Hz even if their PC was running at a high FPS. 2. If you are gaming, be sure to put the monitor on Action mode, and be sure the Over Drive is set to EXTREME, with Ultra-Low Latency to ON in the Gaming section of the monitors menu. 2. You will not get 10bit color unless you put the monitors refresh rate to 120Hz. However, doing this caused a pixel response time change, making it somewhat unenjoyable to play games because of pretty bad pixel ghosting when moving quickly, especially if the background was a light color. 10-bit 120Hz, in my opinion, should only be used for media work/editing, browsing, and other low-intensity activities. 3. The ghosting was resolved by putting the monitor back to 144Hz, 8bit color, and was perfectly enjoyable for gaming, and should be used as such. 4. HDR was pretty bad. It just overly brightened and washed everything out. I did not make any real attempt at changing settings around to compensate for it because it really wasnt all that important to me. (REFER TO NOV 2021 UPDATE REGARDING HDR) 5. FreeSync, at least with my Nvidia card, was not good. It did eliminate tearing, but it introduced bad pixel ghosting because it overrides monitor settings, shutting off Over Drive and Ultra-Low Latency. This may be completely different for you if you have a 20-series Nvidia card or AMD. Also, the Setup G-Sync option (which can be enabled on even FreeSync monitors) will not be available in Nvidia Control Panel unless you turn on FreeSync in the monitor settings first. Overall I love this monitor when I use it in the way described. When I use Photoshop or After Effects, I put it on 10-bit/120Hz. When I game, I put it on 8-bit/144HZ, all in the monitor. For the price, its a small thing to deal with, so Im pretty happy overall. Just dont expect this to be perfect with all of the features it possesses.

Wasnt sure initially, but what a purchase it turned out to be. Definitely was a big step up for my gaming setup, without breaking my bank. This looked like the only budget WQHD monitor with 144Hz, sub 5ms response time, IPS display with Freesync. Search for yourself in PC PART PICKER. Works like a charm.

All around love the monitor for the price, best bang for the buck!

I am very satisfied with this monitor. Are there more brilliant 144Mhz monitors out there? Certainly. But when you consider the price, you would be hard pressed to find a better deal. Im looking forward to buying another one of these, and retiring the MSI, which seems downright drab when you compare the two, next to each other.
