27" Acer B277U gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The Acer B277U is a relatively new monitor. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. In terms of pixel density, the Acer B277U has an excellent density of 109 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. For the average response rate, the Acer B277U scores 6 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. The Acer B277U has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The monitor has a VESA mount. The Acer B277U has a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. Acer B277U has a total input lag of 16.5 ms, which is bad among the competition. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. For graphics color quality, the Acer B277U has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. The brightness of Acer B277U is lower than other monitors. The minimum response rate of Acer B277U is 4 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 55 Hz.
