Good monitor with compromises and misleading marketing.

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2020

Display Size: 27 InchesDisplay Resolution Maximum: 2560 x 1440 PixelsStyle: Monitor onlyVerified Purchase

I gave this monitor three stars because of the extremely misleading posting. This is a monitor full of features and compromises.

Lets start with the refresh rate. It is 144hz, if you run it with 8-bit colors that look terrible, if you switch to 10-bit you have to run it at 120hz.

Lets talk about that 1ms response time. Nope, that only happens with extreme over-drive that distorts the picture to the point that the monitor becomes unusable. Expect about 5ms of response time with this monitor.

Next HDR is completely useless, either windows HDR or the monitor HDR, just pretend this feature doesn't exist as windows HDR cause the colors to be washed out, and the monitor's HDR will just tweak some settings but will not display better dynamic range. Keep in mind that IPS displays have atrocious contrast, and this is a very dim display at only 350 nits.

The monitor looked so bad out of the box that I seriously considered returning it, but after a bit of tweaking and switching it to 10-bit colors its a lot better. The image quality if a far cry from my old 27" dell 4k, but its passable with decent viewing angles, and the faster refresh rate is nice for gaming.

Overall this is a fine monitor, just don't think you'll get all the advertised features together.

I received my monitor and when I plugged it in there was a blue squiggly line near the top of the display. After contacting customer service, the representative said that there would be a $159 fee to replace the monitor that was defective when I opened it. Amazon stepped in and replaced it right away but I will definitely be avoiding ACER products moving forward because of this experience.

Absolutely a great buy (for the price)

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2020

Display Size: 27 InchesDisplay Resolution Maximum: 2560 x 1440 PixelsStyle: Monitor onlyVerified Purchase

So I'm a few days in and will have two parts to this review. The first will be regarding specs, initial reaction, picture/HDR/performance and quality for the monitor I received. The second part will be an update after more use time to bring up any issues that arise down the road.

So first off I would order an HBR2 or 3 rated Display Port cable to go with it. Its much better than the HDMI cabled included and DP can take better advantage of 10bit/1440p144hz (or 10bit-4k 4.4.4)(not that this monitor supports either, I'll get to that in a moment) The stand is also pretty okay, it seems well made and doesn't seem to flimsy compared to some other I have seen. I feel its likely the weight of this monitor that can make the 3 point stand design seem like a bad choice. Given the tips of the stand are much thinner and can bare the most stress if the monitor has any lateral force applied to it. Combined with the monitor being a bit on the heavy side compared to similar in its same but more expensive class. I do love the looks/finish of the monitor though. Great aesthetics all around.

The UI is pretty okay, better than some others that are even more expensive than this one, It give you the option to save 3 presets of your own. Has a good range of control, only drawback I felt is there is no sharpness adjustment at all. It only includes a "Super Sharpness" on/off option. Which can be hit or miss. Looks great on with basic web browsing. Gaming, I would keep it off.

The factory calibration was near perfect. I have tried adjusting it every which way, tried a few profiles others have used. It honestly looks best for me right out of the box. Note that the 8bit+2 FRC is only possible when in 120Hz. For me that isnt a huge issue. I didnt expect to being going over 120hz at all because I like to keep my graphic settings as high as I can. And prefer that over 24 extra hz. But thats just me.

I went through the whole list of tests for monitors... All of them actually performed way above what I expected. Except 2. The pixel walk test. Failed all of them. And I can really notice pixel walk if I try. But given the last monitor I had for 6+ years had it bad. It doesn't bother me a bit. It's something you will likely never know was there. The second was ghosting. It was VERY VERY SMALL. It was mostly noticeable in 10 bit HDR. With 8 Bit/HDR off/All stock. Honestly it was so minimal like I said earlier. If I didnt read about it and test for it. Likely would never know what it is. The newer Innolux panels have fixed a lot of ghosting and flickering issues. The AOU panels are said to be the bad ones.

(CHECK YOUR MONITORS MANUF. DATE BY HOLDING THE BUTTON ABOVE THE JOYSTICK THEN PRESS POWER BUTTON. A SMALL RED "F" WILL APPEAR IN THE UI MENU AT THE TOP. ANY DATE AFTER NOV/2018/SHOULD BE AN INNO. PANEL. YOU SHOULD BE FINE.) With IPS you are going to get ghosting no matter what. Just adjust your settings to balance picture quality,refresh, with limiting ghosting.

No dead or stuck pixels. I have had zero flickering at all so far. Back Light Bleed is also pretty damn good. Its just a tiny tiny part of the bottom left corner of the screen In the BLB test. (SMALL UPDATE: Seems it has near zero Bleed, what I was seeing was IPS glow at certain angles. Like a bit of ghosting dude to the lower pixel response times. You can expect a small bit of IPS glow.. As long as neither are excessive and too noticeable under normal use. Less likely to have it with the more expensive IPS monitors though

The picture/color quality is pretty damn good. The colors are very rich, the brightness is also really bright. I actually prefer to tune mine down to 75 from 80 stock. As some websites with white layouts may be a bit too bright. Contrast is pretty great also, didnt need to adjust at all. Colors are best at standard/HDR on/10 bit for basic use. After a few hours in elite dangerous/insurgency sandstorm/CSGO/BFV I can tell that set up does have a small ghosting affect on sharp textures/text in game. But it was very minimal and only in certain situations. 144hz/Standard/8 bit/ HDR off/Super Sharpness OFF/ ACM off seemed to give the best performance in that regard. picture quality was honestly the same in my opinion. It "almost" eliminated ghosting or kept it to a minimum. Viewing angle is also pretty okay. UP/DOWN I would say that 178 degree claim is accurate. LEFT/RIGHT its more like 45 degrees then you start getting affected by it.

Note that this monitor only displays 10bit Color Depth at 120Hz. For some that may be a problem. But dont let it be a deal breaker. For $350 this monitor was honestly a lot better than expected. Some comments/reviews may scare you. But Acer did iron out a lot of kinks last year and a lot of those reviews are from this monitors initial release or shortly after. It DID have a lot of issues with flickering/ghosting/etc. The color accuracy is pretty dang good for the most part, however if you do any work that requires absolute color accuracy. This isnt a true 10bit monitor, It fakes it using an 8 Bit+2 FRC. Meaning it pretty much simulates it by using the high refresh rate to flash between the 2 seperate colors to simulate another color. For example if you need a green thats 7.5, it will flash a lighter green pixel at 7, then a darker green pixel at 8. For an average of 7.5. (in a nutshell) Im not well versed in color accuracy for those that edit video/photos but this monitor may not be the best for you.

But as of right now for the price and only if you can find no other better IPS monitor in the same price range, this is a pretty solid bet. I love it, the colors just pop and is just night and day compared to my Samsung TN monitor. I'll admit I was VERY nervous at the time of purchase. Thats why I felt a bit compelled to to give a full review, and why It ended up being the longest review I have every written. This is why, at the moment this ips monitor is easily in the top 5 for $350 1440P IPS monitors. The other <$350(sometimes) options being the Pixio,BENQ,Viewsonic,Viotek, and maybe Nixeus. All have their pro/cons. I wouldnt get the AOC one its VERY dark. And if your wondering the difference between the Nitro VG271U and the Nitro XV272U is just the stand, every single exact thing. The entire monitor, is the exact same. If the VG is cheaper grab it. Its VESA compitable and use the money you saved to pick your own wall mount/stand. The XV just has an adjustable stand. And different letters on the box. That's it.

Anyway, if your thinking about it. Its a safe bet, and really does have great color/gaming performance. Just make sure you look up the tech specs for any monitor your looking at so you don't get hit with surprises. For example this product page doesn't show that it can only support 8+2 color depth @ 120Hz. I almost feel that deserves a solid star being taken off the review.

Best 1080P IPS Gaming Monitor

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2019

Display Size: 27 InchesDisplay Resolution Maximum: 1920 x 1080 PixelsStyle: Monitor onlyVerified Purchase

Pros:
1. 1080p: gives me 144 FPS on ultra settings. This would not be possible with a 2K or 4K monitor, and this is the primary reason I stuck with 1080p. I sit 2 feet away from my Monitor and the picture is clear without noticing any pixels.

2. IPS: great color and viewing angles. You can see good contrast and details in black corners. My other monitor after Acer XFA240 had poor viewing angles (TN panel) and colors.

3. Good response times, (1ms) little input lag. You can look at the reviews on other benchmark sites, and they agree this Monitor is plenty fast. I didn't notice a difference between this and the TN panel at 144Hz.

4. Decent speakers. Although 2W each speaker, these are way louder than my other Monitor, the XFA240, which surprisingly had the same wattage rating but did not sound as loud.

5. Cross Hairs, multiple options.

6. Multiple profiles you can save to and quickly load.

CONs:
Not height adjustable, but has a Vesa mount so you can swap it out with another monitor mount or buy a better mount.

It has some IPS edge glow, but I love it anyway.

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2019

Display Size: 27 InchesDisplay Resolution Maximum: 1920 x 1080 PixelsStyle: Monitor onlyVerified Purchase

This is my first 144Hz monitor, and man what a difference. It has that IPS edge glow and the response time could be a bit better, but this is a HUGE upgrade over my previous ancient monitor from the mid 2000's anyway. FreeSync works like a charm with my GTX 1070. 144Hz with high framerates at 1080p is a glory to behold. The simple thing of smooth scrolling looks so much better than 60Hz. It's also blindingly bright. If you are after brightness, you hit the gold mine. I have to turn ot down to 30% so I don't go blind. Heh.

The built in speakers are terrible though. Built in speakers for TVs/monitors are never great, but these might be the worst I've ever heard. They sound like 90's budget laptop speakers. My speaker system died so I had to rely on them for a while. Good god. Get external speakers/headphones.

Even with the drawbacks, it's worth it. I'll update my review if it dies or if anything changes.

2019 model with 2016 problems

Reviewed in Canada on April 21, 2019

Display Size: 27 InchesDisplay Resolution Maximum: 2560 x 1440 PixelsStyle: Monitor onlyVerified Purchase

Dissapointing. With this being a 2019 model I figured most of the kinks would of been ironed out but they are definitely not.

Freesync flickers under 75hz on this monitor, tested on AMD and Nvidia cards. Im not sure what the Freesync range on this monitor is but flicker at 75hz is bad.

As reported online this monitor does seem to have some sort of coloured flickering that happens randomly, could be a bad panel or input.

While I do like the minimalist design, it's very cheap feeling and one of the lower build qualities I've felt on a $600 monitor.

All in all its not worth the price with the issues and competition it has.

2 stars for design. 1 Star for everything else.

Excellent Panel Hampered by Poor Components

Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 2019

Display Size: 27 InchesDisplay Resolution Maximum: 2560 x 1440 PixelsStyle: Monitor onlyVerified Purchase

Bought one, had issues, sent it back. Replacement unit ALSO has exact same issues.

The new Innolux panels are great. And that's where the positives end.

Compared to my Acer Predator 1440p144, the panel found in these exhibited excellent brightness and color uniformity, and excellent levels of backlight bleed or IPS glow (which is to say VERY LITTLE).

Unfortunately Acer decided to hamper most of their 1440p144 lineup with inferior quality components. This exhibits itself with random artifacts. These artifacts will randomly flash covering 1/3rd to the whole screen with random noisy patterns.

A quick check on Acer's support forums will confirm this, and you'll find that it's attributed to "broken panels". Those who are suckered into sending in for fixing find that their replacements have the exact same problem.

Let's put it this way, all new HDR spec 1440p144 monitors use this panel - ACER is the only one who has these artifact flickering issues. And it also happens on their AUO monitors. This is NOT a panel problem, but poor QC or low quality components used in driving these monitors.

The issue persists with gsync on (yes it is gsync compatible), gsync off, 120hz, 144hz, dp or HDMI, the random flash will happen whenever and wherever. It happens in games, on Youtube, or even sitting idling on the desktop.

It's a shame because the REGULAR pricing is great for a 27" 1440p144 IPS monitor. Too bad they're pretty much defective.

tl;dr

2 Samples, both defective.

Pros:
Excellent Panels/Consistent panels (no blb, ips glow, dead pixels)
Minimalist Design
Gsync/Freesync Compatible
Price

Cons:
No height adjustment
No DP cable included

Deal Breaker:
Poor QC/Component selection flashes random artifacts. High likelihood of getting effectively a defective product.

Edited review:
Positives:
- good colors for the price
- 144hz works
- good overall look

Negatives:
- Stand doesnt reposition other than slightly angled up or down
- Blacks have a ton of leaks from all 4 corners. My cheap monitor is way better than it in this reguard.
- design flaw in the monitor itself. I returned the monitor once, because there was a cluster of pixels that dont turn off in its centre (black) colors its 100%. I got the new monitor. The exact same thing. A cluster of pixels in the centre of the screen that dont turn off. Its hardly noticeable after a while, but an obvious design flaw.
- i have no idea why they bother to put speakers in it. But it has about the volume of maybe 10% on my headset.

Overall, for the price its the best one there is. It comes at the cost of it being cheaply made.

So I bought this monitor and it's perfect after use of my first day. No flickering issue that other people have mentioned, which really scared me from buying this but so far so good.

I'll update this review if I notice anything wrong in the next few days.

UPDATE: Monitor definitely flickers, HOWEVER its not that big of a deal it hasnt happened once in a game, however when not doing anything at all on the desktop it might do it quickly so its not a deal breaker however do be aware.

Reviewed in Canada on December 18, 2019

Display Size: 27 InchesDisplay Resolution Maximum: 2560 x 1440 PixelsStyle: Monitor onlyVerified Purchase

..support and warranty coverage is superb. I highly recommend this getting this monitor if you ever see it on sale or on a good warehouse deal. I got mine for 350 bucks used but the one I got looked like a brand new open box. Manufacturing date was november 2018, and here's where the issue is. If you read around online, this monitor has flickering issues if you get a model that was manufactured dec 2018 or older unless you're lucky. I was not lucky. I thought I was going to have to return mine to amazon for the full refund but I decided to give acer support a try, and asked if I would still be covered under warranty even though I purchased my monitor used. Surprisingly, they said yeah it was fine, and that I just needed to fill out a proof of purchase form to register a new three year warranty starting from the date of purchase. After I did that, I waited 2 days to have it verified, then got a shipping label from support. From the day I shipped it out, it took 5 business days to get the monitor back with a brand new panel, no flickering issues what so ever since then.

If you're okay with this process, this monitor is 100% a steal at it's sale price. It uses the same panel used in the very good gigabyte AORUS AD27QD monitor and pretty much all the much more expensive 144hz ips 1440p monitors out there (with the exception of the LG-GL850 which is superior imo, but more expensive). The tradeoff? The stand sucks. I invested in a cheap vesa mount stand for 30 bucks and have two monitors on it.. even if you add in the cost of an after market stand this is still an absolute steal, especially considering most aftermarket vesa mounts will be way better than any stock stand.

Dont be put off by the rating if you don't mind going through support to replace a bad unit if you get one, this is an amazing monitor and the best price you'll get for a really good 144hz qhd ips panel.

A gamble that paid off well.

Display Size: 27 InchesDisplay Resolution Maximum: 2560 x 1440 PixelsStyle: Monitor onlyVerified Purchase

So, I was nervous about this purchase due to what I've read about flickering, however I am pleased to report that I have gotten a good unit, I saw what was potentially one flicker on the desktop out of the corner of my eye doing something else, in about 98 hours of use so far. (to access this menu, hold the button above the joystick while powering on, and you'll see an "f" on the upper left menu corner, then press the button below the power twice).

It supports variable refresh with nvidia from ~48 fps upwards without issue, and offers great colors, and quite strong blacks.

For the price, this is an outstanding 1440p high refresh rate IPS panel, especially for this size, but it is of course a risky purchase which may or may not pan out.

Mine was made on 2018/09/29 which is before the "fixed" units were supposed to be going out, but as mentioned I've only experienced one glitch so far, which I'm not entirely confident was actually one as it was in the corner of my vision, and may have been a program doing something.

Backlight bleed isn't great, in fact it's pretty noticeable in mostly dark scenes, however I have also only recently become aware of it, and I feel like now I'm looking for it, but I also think I would have noticed this had I not.

It's something that fades away when you're engrossed in a game however, and I think worth it to have the better color and viewing angle advantage of IPS vs VA panel, however the BLB does get a little more noticeable at off angles.

If you've become accustomed to IPS displays over the years as I have, using a TN panel will be an absolute nightmare for you, and there was nowhere available locally to see how bad smearing is on VA panels, so as long as you don't mind some potential hassle exchanging these as others have had to, it's an outstanding value.

Also, forget the internal speakers, Acer clearly did, but this is a budget monitor when it comes down to it, so it should be no surprise, and most built in monitor speakers are horrid anyhow.

Display Size: 27 InchesDisplay Resolution Maximum: 1920 x 1080 PixelsStyle: Monitor onlyVerified Purchase

Lo compré en en el Prime Day a un muy buen precio. Buscaba 1080p tasa de refresco de 144HZ 27" e IPS y lo encontré todo con este monitor, lo uso con Display Port y Nvidia RTX 2060 y funciona sin problemas con el G-Sync (Adaptative), colores vivos y el brillo es increíblemente alto, tuve que bajarlo. Las bocinas son muy sencillas pero uso mi sistema de audio por lo que no es algo que ocupe, aunque supongo para una emergencia están decentes. La base visualmente es bonita pero no tan funcional sólo permite inclinar ligeramente el monitor, pero al menos cuenta con montaje VESA y puedes colocarle la que tu desees.

Great value but buggy

Monitor will randomly flicker artifacts at various intervals. You can go several days without seeing it and then suddenly its happening every 10 minutes. This is a very common issue that many people have been struggling with and Acer has not been able to fix.

Using this for regular office work as a second screen to my Mac book pro.

So far no issues and delivers as it promises. But the picture quality is good and not excellent as some of the gamers might expect.
The inbuilt speakers are as good a not there but the headphone jacks is a good addition to use an external speaker.

Overall a good product for regular office work..

Value for Money: Cheapest 144hz 1440p IPS Monitor

Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2020

Display Size: 27 InchesDisplay Resolution Maximum: 2560 x 1440 PixelsStyle: Monitor onlyVerified Purchase

I am fortunate that my panel has not experienced any flickering or dead pixels, unlike some other reviews. This monitor is the perfect package as the colours are great (much better than VA), high refresh, low latency, and 1440p. The design is modern with slim bezels, and the stand is more than adequate for the price. I am happy with the purchase and would recommend to others.

Really solid monitor

Bezels are thin, IPS 1440p 144hz free-sync really good for gaming. Looks so much better than my TN panel. I had a problem with the first order, a line of dead pixels in the middle of my screen appeared, but amazon replaced it and now it's been awesome. The only downside is that the stand is wobbly if u shake your desk, but I haven't noticed it at all. You could get a mount or different stand if you wanted. I got lucky with my second one with no dead pixels and black light bleeding was minimal.

Still not fixed

Cons
-Received Nov 19 2019, still has flickering issues.
-Does not include DisplayPort cable.
- Included HDMI didn't work at all.
- not true 1ms response time
-HDR is useless, only freesync 1 so you can't use both at the same time
-speakers are awful, but that's expected
Pros
-nice design
-colours are good
-If the flickering was fixed this would be good at the price point

The best 27" IPS 144Hz Gaming Monitor - Your search ends here

Reviewed in Canada on October 10, 2019

Display Size: 27 InchesDisplay Resolution Maximum: 1920 x 1080 PixelsStyle: Monitor onlyVerified Purchase

I chose this over ASUS VG279Q after reading reviews of ASUS' numerous dead pixel problem. I was on a HP 27BW 27" 60Hz IPS Monitor with a GTX1060 6GB to begin with, and just need higher refresh rate, so my Fortnite close up combats are not always a blur with a predictable trip back to the lobby. That said, I still have my finger crossed until seeing this monitor for myself. The monitor has a beautiful design and has no dead pixel, which is great. It is super bright and I need to dial down the brightness to 65. On Nvidia control panel, I reduced Red Brightness to 42, and Green Brightness to 47 then monitor looks pretty good. My Fortnite gameplay has since become much more enjoyable, and am landing shots that were previously not possible when on 60Hz. I tried turning on the VBR but it dimmed the screen considerably, which unfortunately cannot be improved by dialing up the brightness. The monitor has a plenty fast response time so the VBR is not really necessary anyway. One thing I noticed is when playing videos, the videos look more noisy, it may have to do with the faster refresh rate or the matte screen (the HP 27BW has a gloss screen). You will need a monitor stand or mount for this monitor to adjust it to comfortable height. I got this during special and this is really the best priced 1080p 27" IPS 144Hz gaming monitor out there with amazing quality. I only realize that I need to have Window 10 (still on Win 8.1), to be able to turn on G-sync in Nvidia control panel (numerous reports say it works okay with G-Sync), but I see no noticeable screen tearing/blurring so I am still fine with what I have now. Get it and you will be very happy afterward.

Great monitor hampered by artifacting issues

Reviewed in Canada on August 26, 2019

Display Size: 27 InchesDisplay Resolution Maximum: 2560 x 1440 PixelsStyle: Monitor onlyVerified Purchase

Like other reviewers have already mentioned, this is a great monitor at an amazing price point except for one glaring issue; random artifacting. Tried messing with all of the software and hardware settings I could get my hands on and nothing seemed to change the fact that it will randomly glitch out portions (or even entire) regions of my screen at times.

It really is a shame too since the monitor looks amazing when it isn't glitching out. With this problem, I can't honestly recommend the monitor to anyone who intends to use it as their primary.

This was the first and last Acer monitor I will be purchasing.
