At this point, I’ve reviewed a lot of 1440p 144hz+ monitors, some TN, some VA and some IPS, and I’ve claimed “perfection” in quite a few of them, but now I’ve had this, I can’t understand why anyone would buy literally anything else. Let me explain why, but first, if you haven’t already, consider subscribing for more videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!

First off, this is the sweet spot. It’s 1440p, at 27”, which for me anyway is really the perfect size for a monitor that lives on your desk. It’s big enough, and clear enough, to do anything you want from content consumption, to up-close gaming on. 

Next, it’s an IPS panel. That means you get a beautiful display to view, and really nice viewing angles so much so that the front acrylic sheet causes reflections before the panel itself becomes unviewable, it really is impressive. Colours wise, it’s phenomenal. Testing with my datacolor spyderx, it reported well over 100% of the sRGB spectrum, 89% of the AdobeRGB spectrum, and a whopping 95% of the sRGB spectrum, which is an exact match for the much more expensive Gigabyte FI27Q-P. The panel also gives around 320nits brightness in SDR, or a little over 400 nits in HDR.

Of course, it’s high refresh rate with Freesync, which makes for an incredibly smooth and responsive gaming experience whether you are using an AMD GPU, or now NVIDIA. It felt great to game on, a monitor I could see myself using full time with no problems. It does ghost a little bit as you can see on the UFO test, but it’s not significant enough that I ever noticed it while playing. The response time is incredible. This is with overdrive set to “Normal”, and it was clocking in at around 4ms going from Black to White which even for a TN would be good, but for an IPS, wow. The release time, going from white to black, took a little longer since it can’t use overdrive to pull it back down again so took more like 15ms, but still. Wow. 

I should note that you can improve those results even further by turning off freesync and enabling backlight strobing and set the overdrive to its highest setting.

Where it gets even more impressive is with the input lag. Testing with my time sleuth over HDMI at its max setting of 1080p 60, it clocked just 1.8ms at the top of the display. That’s incredible, and I think the second fastest I’ve ever reviewed. 

A couple of things do let the monitor down though, namely it’s stand. They’ve gone with what I can only describe as “the cheapest possible thing they can use to prop the monitor up”, it’s not great. The foot is pretty small which is nice, but juts out quite far at the rear meaning you can’t have it flush against a wall, and you only get tilt adjustment, no height, swivel or rotation. Oh, and it wobbles like a tuning fork, so you really will want to use the VESA mount option instead, which thanks to the price shouldn’t be a problem.

See what Acer have done here, is take an incredible monitor, clearly a reasonable match for the £600 FI27Q-P, and made it so disgustingly cheap you wouldn’t ever want anything else. This is selling for just £360 here in the UK, on Amazon. I’m stunned. A 1440p, 144Hz, fast IPS for £360. It doesn’t get much better than that. Of course, AOC’s CQ27G2U is cheaper at around £280 when it’s actually in stock, but you get a significantly better monitor from Acer here with a truly stunning panel, rapid input lag, and just a phenomenal gaming experience. 

You don’t get many bells and whistles with this, just 2 HDMIs and 1 DisplayPort, and the on screen menu is a little sparse, save for the gaming options, as well as no RGB in sight. But for this price, I really don’t care. This is a truly top tier display at this price, and one I can wholeheartedly recommend.
