24.5" Acer KG251QF gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The Acer KG251QF is a relatively new monitor. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The minimum response rate of Acer KG251QF is 1 ms, which is eliminates ghosting effects. The brightness of Acer KG251QF is significantly better than other monitors. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the Acer KG251QF has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 30 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. For the extremely fast frame rates, the Acer KG251QF has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. The monitor has a VESA mount. For the average response rate, the Acer KG251QF scores 3 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The Acer KG251QF has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. In terms of pixel density, the Acer KG251QF has an excellent density of 89 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. 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. For graphics color quality, the Acer KG251QF has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. Acer KG251QF has a total input lag of 18 ms, which is bad among the competition.
