Acer Nitro XV282K KVbmiipruzx 28 UHD (3840 x 2160) Agile-Splendor IPS Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | 144Hz | 1ms | TUV/Eyesafe | 1 Display Port 1.2, 2 HDMI 2.1 & 4 USB Ports

Coming from the Alienware AW3418DW (An Ultrawide IPS)(VRR Enabled on both monitors) I was a little nervous with this purchase. That said I really really love this monitor. The colors look nicer than my previous monitor, and the speed is also better. I was mainly looking for the speed upgrade with this purchase and this monitor did deliver. Even when running games at 70-90 fps (below the highest refresh rate of both monitors) I could feel a difference in the response times. My new Acer being the dominant monitor of the two. I also felt that the colors looked better. The Acer monitor was more vibrant and looked better in darker scenes in games than my previous monitor did. I used the VRR (Freesync/gsync*) setting with my RTX 2080 and had no issues, even though at the times of this review this monitor is not gsync compatible. I have read on some forums, but to be honest have not done research myself, that this panel is the same as their similar predator model. The predator model is gsync compatible. This leads me to believe that this monitor could receive gsync certification in the future. The VRR performed amazingly in any game I through at it. EFT where I would get 60-140 fps depending on the local. COD where I was pushing 200 fps. Then CSGO where I could use all 270 HZ. All these games felt better than before. And to my delight, these games even looked better (color). Now since I have talked about looks I should mention that I have not looked at the HDR performance on this monitor because I believe even VESA HDR 600 isnt worth paying extra for. I have to say that I am happy with this monitor but I cant leave out the issue I have had. The issue is pictured above. I have not seen this issue in games and have only experienced these issues twice since I purchased the monitor. I am hoping this does stop but if not I will end up returning this monitor. I really dont want to do that because otherwise I really love this monitor. I will update this review below if needed.

These are sleeper monitors. Great for gaming and other tasks. AMD freesync if that matters. I dont care about it though. I am running triple monitors on a 2080ti and everything is flawless. Ignore my cable management... Im not done yet...

Great product for the price. 270 hz over clocked, great colors on the IPS panel, and no visible ghosting to my eyes. My only callout is that the first monitor sent had dead pixels. The second monitor sent was perfect however.

There really isnt anything I dont like. I good solid Gaming Monitor..

Awesome monitor for about a month, then I started experiencing the vertical banding and imagine retention issues, hopefully acer sorts these issues out. Acer requires you to send monitor in for repair and can take half a month or longer, unacceptable.

I bought two of these monitors in the last 3 weeks because the first one I was sent had a stuck red pixel in the bottom right corner of the screen. Very noticeable on any black background. So I returned that one and bought a new one because I wasnt allowed to exchange it. The second monitor I got, the box was so beaten up by shipping I was surprised it wasnt more damaged. The screen also had stuck green pixels dead center in the screen. Absolutely terrible quality control as I was even hesitant to buy the first monitor due to all the previous reviews of dead or stuck pixels.

The only issues I had were related to auto HDR, its best to just leave hdr on, but that issue may be tied to the xbox series x specifically.

TL,DR; Fantastic Panel. Really checks all the boxes for 1440p 240hz AND IPS with good colors. OSD is lacking and not as polished, but its no frills high-end spec monitor.

Absolutely love it!!! Now with in mind i just received it, it has met my expectations and more. I bought it for my xbox series X and let me confirm it plays 4k at 120 hz….1ms response time… Im in love.

But it came dead on arrival. No lights when powered into an outlet, and the only option is a refund, cant get it replaced. Bummer. Off to a different brand I guess.
