27" Acer KG271F gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The brightness of Acer KG271F is significantly better than other monitors. The minimum response rate of Acer KG271F 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 KG271F scores 1.5 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The Acer KG271F has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. For the extremely fast frame rates, the Acer KG271F has a maximum refresh rate of 240 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. The Acer KG271F is a relatively new monitor. The monitor has a VESA mount. In terms of pixel density, the Acer KG271F 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 monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 48 Hz. For graphics color quality, the Acer KG271F has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. Acer KG271F has a total input lag of 16.5 ms, which is bad among the competition.
