27" Acer KG271U gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The monitor has a VESA mount. The minimum response rate of Acer KG271U is 1 ms, which is eliminates ghosting effects. Acer KG271U has a total input lag of 14 ms, which is excellent among the competition. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. For the average response rate, the Acer KG271U scores 3.5 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. In terms of pixel density, the Acer KG271U has an excellent density of 109 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. The Acer KG271U has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The Acer KG271U is a relatively new monitor. For graphics color quality, the Acer KG271U has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. The Acer KG271U has a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 55 Hz. The brightness of Acer KG271U is lower than other monitors. 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.
