27" Acer GF276 gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

For graphics color quality, the Acer GF276 has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The minimum response rate of Acer GF276 is 1 ms, which is eliminates ghosting effects. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. For the average response rate, the Acer GF276 scores 1.5 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The Acer GF276 has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The monitor has a VESA mount. The Acer GF276 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. In terms of pixel density, the Acer GF276 has an low density of 81 pixels-per-inch, resulting in pixelated 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. The brightness of Acer GF276 is lower than other monitors. Acer GF276 has a total input lag of 16.5 ms, which is bad among the competition. It is worth noting that the Acer GF276 is a relatively old monitor. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 55 Hz.
