27" Acer KG271D gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

To compensate for graphically demanding games, the Acer KG271D 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. For the average response rate, the Acer KG271D scores 1.5 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The minimum response rate of Acer KG271D is 1 ms, which is eliminates ghosting effects. The Acer KG271D is a relatively new monitor. The monitor has a VESA mount. Acer KG271D has a total input lag of 16.5 ms, which is bad among the competition. 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 KG271D has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. The Acer KG271D has a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. In terms of pixel density, the Acer KG271D 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. The brightness of Acer KG271D is lower than other monitors. The Acer KG271D has no Display Port and which is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync.
