Acer Nitro XV272U Vbmiiprx 27 Zero-Frame WQHD 2560 x 1440 Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | Agile-Splendor IPS | Overclock to 170Hz | Up to 0.5ms | 95% DCI-P3 | 1 x Display Port & 2 x HDMI 2.0

So I bought this for my Xbox series X. I did a lot of research on what quality I could get for a fair price, and this is what I came up with. Honestly I’ve never had something better than a GC so I have nothing to compare it to. I’m sure I couldn’t spent more money to get something a lot more crisp. But I think the picture looks great and does the job for what I paid for it. Honestly it could be a lot better with a gaming PC but like I said I’ll have to find that out later. I haven’t had any problems with the screen or how it functions. The brightness kind of bleeds into the corners like some people have said, but you don’t really notice unless the screen is completely black or it’s a dark environment. But honestly I figured out if I have it at the right height and angle relative to how high I am sitting, it fixes that issue for the most part. Overall if you’re looking for a better picture quality and a lot better refresh rate over a tv without giving an arm and a leg up, I would highly recommend this monitor. The only problem I had was the monitor doesn’t click into the stand for some reason so it’s just kind of hooked onto it. But I’m sure I could fix it if I actually took the time to look at it. As long as you have it on a flat surface that does rock to extreme angles then it should be alright.

I’ve been looking for a solid 1440p monitor that can run up to 120hz at a reasonable entry level price ever since I’ve purchased my new Xbox. If you’re a casual gamer looking for a reasonably priced monitor for your new console I wouldn’t look much further than this monitor. It’s currently priced at $300 and with the included features, it’s a steal. I personally don’t care for 4K gaming, I don’t believe game publishers are aiming for that either, i think most console gamers should care about performance. 4ms grey to grey response time, sharp colors, and 120hz at 1440p is game changing and it’s what most PC gamers are aiming for. If it was still $400 I’d tell you, you have better options in comparison, at $300, you should probably get one before they’re out of stock. I’m not a monitor nerd at all, but to me the colors out of the box are fantastic, all I did on my end is enable freesync, adjusted my xbox tv settings to match my monitors capabilities, loaded up Warzone and had amazing experience, hope you do the same.

Loving it

Moving from a 144hz to 240hz I really did notice a difference, especially in games like Fortnite. I think this monitor is one of the first for newer 240hz monitors at a lower price point, I got on sale for $300 which I think is the long term price point for this class of product.

I recently purchased two each of the following 27 inch 1440P IPS monitors to use in a 4 monitor array where I already owned two Acer K272HUL Dbmidpx L 27 IPS monitors. Ranked from favorite to least favorite below: 1) Acer Nitro XV272U Pbmiiprzx 27 WQHD - these are my new favorite 1440p monitors due to the fact that they seem to deliver the best image quality out of all of the monitors that I have tested. I use these for productivity and am not really a gamer. Great text readability, minimal back light bleed, nice sleek design, decent glare reduction without making images blurry (see notes on the Dell unit below). Great controls and menu except a little inconvenient if you have these mounted side by side as the controls are on the right rear of the monitors so might be difficult to access on the left monitor due to placement. Youll need to physically move the monitor to access the controls. Not a big deal to me though. 2) Asus ProArt Display PA278QV - these were my second favorite but I just simply preferred the image quality from the Acer Nitro XV272U a little better. I dont love the measuring lines on the front of the display but suspect they may be useful for video/photo editors? I also think the menu system and buttons can be improved a little. Overall, a nice monitor but didnt quite cut it for me. 3) Acer Nitro VG270U BMIIPX - great image quality and similar image quality like the other Acers listed above, but the fatal flaw with these is they caused my computer to slow to a crawl whenever my PC would wake from sleep. I contacted Acer support and they believe it to be an issue with the firmware thats installed on the monitors. Returned them. 4) Dell U2719D - really nice sleek design with a great menu system controls and input options but the anti glare coating was too aggressive for my liking and the image quality was just meh to me when compared to the two Acers listed above. Hope this helps someone searching for monitors :)

This is an excellent LCD HDR monitor. I have never used HDR but have previously used 144hz 2k monitors (Acer XG270HU for reference). My other Acer 2k monitor uses a TN panel, which has poor viewing angles and color reproduction, but this one produces excellent colors after I changed the color bit depth to 10bpc and configured the monitor colors. I only have a couple of games which support HDR but one I tried (Red Dead Redemption 2) looks amazing, though it was somewhat difficult to get working correctly. Pros: VESA compatible Extremely bright Excellent Wide Color Gamut reproduction Height Adjustable (I remember reading a couple of reviews saying it had no height adjustment, but it does) 144Hz QHD 27 is the perfect combination of resolution, refresh rate, and pixel size Cons: Was a little difficult to set up HDR in windows and be sure everything was working correctly.

Got this monitor at the $300 price point before it changed to $400. So far its been a great upgrade from a 24 inch 1080p 144hz. Very happy with it.

We just got a computer that needed a HDMI monitor, which we didnt have. My youngest son (13) has been telling me that he wants to build a computer, but has not happened yet. We got the computer for school, and a bit of gaming. This monitor is really big, 27 inches. Larger than the TV I have in my bedroom. It has lots of connections on the back of it, for different inputs and outputs. The stand allows you to raise and lower the monitor and turn it with very little effort. My son tells me it has a 140 refresh rate, which was important to him. I know that it was easy to hook up, is bright, crisp and looks like it is built to last.

170hz 1440p 27” $250 bucks!?! It’s a insane deal coming from a well known brand (sure if you want a cheaper deal look at spectre and pixio type brands). I’m replacing a acer1440p 144hz monitor that costed 80 bucks more! The hdr is ok def better than not having it. 170hz showed up right in windows display settings (using DisplayPort not sure if hdmi is as good). Def has backlight bleed but it’s not as bad as some monitors I’ve had in the past. Really great monitor, thinking about grabbing another to match.

Xbox series S user runs 1440p at 120hz very well. Did not work out of the box had to change the HDMI setting on the xbox video settings to auto and turn off allow 4K and other settings in the video section but eventually ran 1440p at 120hz very smoothly. HDR is very nice.
