About this product
The Acer 27-inch Nitro KG1 Gaming Monitor offers a 2560x1440 resolution, 180Hz refresh rate, and 1ms GTG response time (up to 0.5ms). It utilizes an IPS LCD panel with AMD FreeSync, providing smooth and tear-free gaming. The monitor features DisplayPort and HDMI inputs, a 100 Million:1 contrast ratio, and ZeroFrame design. This refurbished model combines high-refresh QHD gaming with IPS color quality at an attractive price.
Our take
I'm a fan of the IPS panel on this one – colors pop and the 178-degree viewing angles are perfect for sharing your screen. The 180Hz refresh rate paired with 1ms response time (and the potential for 0.5ms) makes for incredibly responsive gameplay. The QHD resolution hits a sweet spot for clarity and performance. AMD FreeSync works seamlessly with my graphics card. The 250-nit brightness is average, and the stand only tilts, but at this refurbished price, you're getting a lot of monitor for the money.
