With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The monitor has a VESA mount. The Acer RG270 is a relatively new monitor. For the average response rate, the Acer RG270 scores 6 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. For graphics color quality, the Acer RG270 has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. In terms of pixel density, the Acer RG270 has an low density of 81 pixels-per-inch, resulting in pixelated text and picture quality.
