Frequently asked questions
What resolution does the Acer Nitro XV272U KVbmiiprzx run at?
The panel shows 2560x1440 pixels across 27 inches, around 109 pixels per inch. That is QHD, the usual compromise between image detail and the load put on the graphics card. The IPS panel keeps colours stable whatever the viewing angle.
Is the Acer Nitro XV272U KVbmiiprzx a good monitor for gaming?
Yes. The panel runs at 170 Hz, well above the 60 Hz of an office screen, and motion gains a lot of smoothness. At 2560x1440 you still need a graphics card able to keep up with that pace. The 27 inches at 2560x1440 also weigh on the frame rate the graphics card can hold.
What features does the Acer Nitro XV272U KVbmiiprzx include?
No, there is no USB-C port on this model, so the connection goes through the usual video inputs. Beyond that it offers HDR, a height adjustable stand and built in speakers, but goes without a curved panel. The adjustable stand saves you from adding a riser to line the panel up with your eyes.
Is the Acer Nitro XV272U KVbmiiprzx worth 280 euros?
At 280 euros it scores 4.4/5 across 2,600 Amazon reviews. The score sits in the healthy middle of the comparison. It sits in the Gaming category of our selection. Main strength: 170Hz with HDR. Main compromise: no USB-C. Also in its favour: good versatility for work and gaming.
