Product Information

Its aspect layout and higher sharpness enables it feasable to sport it on monitors that are more than 27". With both DisplayPort and HDMI connections, you can easily connect your VG270UP to a wide range of devices for added convenience. Note: FreeSync isn't available if the overdrive is set to 'Extreme' or if the black frame insertion feature is enabled, which is normal.

It performs best as a gaming monitor with its high refresh rate, FreeSync VRR support, good motion handling, and low input lag.It’s the best score I’ve seen on a gaming monitor, full stop and it even throws shade at some professional displays. There's a slight gap between the panel and the inside edge of the bezel, and this gap is slightly wider on the right side of the monitor. The Acer Nitro VG271UP Pbmiipx and the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD perform similarly overall, but there are a few notable differences between them. The Acer Nitro VG270UP gaming monitor features everything you could want for the best gaming visual experience. Update 08/16/2019: After remeasuring the pre-calibration results of this monitor, we've recalibrated it as well.

Unfortunately, it has a mediocre contrast ratio and the unit we tested has terrible black uniformity, although this does vary between unit. Update 08/16/2019: We retested the pre-calibration of this monitor with the Color Space set to 'sRGB'.The VG270UP also features Acer’s VisionCare suite of technologies, including BlueLightShield and Flickerless, which help to reduce eye strain and make your viewing experience more comfortable.

There’s also a stylish 3-point stand with blue accents that allows you 25° of tilt adjustment so you can find the most comfortable viewing angle. The unit I was sent was perfectly acceptable, with light bleed occurring around the corners but I’ve seen comments about bad backlight bleed online. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

It has good motion handling, variable refresh rate (VRR) support, and incredibly low input lag, making it a good choice for gaming. Although its response time is a bit slower than other 144Hz monitors, resulting in some motion blur, there's a black frame insertion to improve the appearance of motion. Once again, the best Overdrive setting is 'Normal' as it doesn't have any overshoot, but still has some motion blur.
