24.5" Acer XF251Q gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The Acer XF251Q is a relatively new monitor. For the average response rate, the Acer XF251Q scores 1.5 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. In terms of pixel density, the Acer XF251Q has an excellent density of 89 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. The minimum response rate of Acer XF251Q is 1 ms, which is eliminates ghosting effects. The monitor has a VESA mount. 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. For graphics color quality, the Acer XF251Q has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. Acer XF251Q has a total input lag of 16.5 ms, which is bad among the competition. The Acer XF251Q has no Display Port and which is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 55 Hz. The brightness of Acer XF251Q is lower than other monitors. The Acer XF251Q has a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games.
