27" Acer KG271E gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

For the average response rate, the Acer KG271E scores 1.5 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. For the extremely fast frame rates, the Acer KG271E has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the Acer KG271E has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 30 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The minimum response rate of Acer KG271E is 1 ms, which is eliminates ghosting effects. The Acer KG271E has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The brightness of Acer KG271E is significantly better than other monitors. The monitor has a VESA mount. The Acer KG271E is a relatively new monitor. In terms of pixel density, the Acer KG271E has an low density of 81 pixels-per-inch, resulting in pixelated text and picture quality. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. For graphics color quality, the Acer KG271E has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. 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. Acer KG271E has a total input lag of 16.5 ms, which is bad among the competition.
