27" Acer KG271B gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The Acer KG271B is a relatively new monitor. The brightness of Acer KG271B is significantly better than other monitors. The monitor has a VESA mount. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The minimum response rate of Acer KG271B is 1 ms, which is eliminates ghosting effects. For the average response rate, the Acer KG271B scores 1.5 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The Acer KG271B has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. For the extremely fast frame rates, the Acer KG271B has a maximum refresh rate of 240 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. For graphics color quality, the Acer KG271B has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 240 Hz. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. The monitor uses a TN panel which suffers from color shifting when viewed from horizontal and vertical angles and has slightly washed colors compared to IPS and VA panels. In terms of pixel density, the Acer KG271B has an low density of 81 pixels-per-inch, resulting in pixelated text and picture quality.
