Acer Nitro VG271U M3 27 inch IPS WQHD 2560×1440 Pixels Gaming Backlight LED LCD Monitor I 180Hz Refresh Rate I 0.5 MS Response I DCI-P3 95%, HDR10 support I 2x HDMI, 1x DP I Eye…

Why I call it great for gaming but “fair” for other purposes?
Saying it straightforwardly, its an IPS panel, so colors are better than other cheap VA/TN panels, though cannot be compared to the class of high end IPS panels which are heavily calibrated and for good reason.
So for gaming, you can really take this one up as probably one of the best in budget category, and since colors have room for improvement along with this hellish color temperature, its not what I would call the best.

I do not know whether 0.5 ms response time is real or not, but if it is then it has to be by enabling multiple features which further affect the picture a bit to bring down response time which personally I don’t care for much, but can be good for people looking specifically for gaming.

As for the picture quality, well be prepared to calibrate some stuff by yourself using windows color management, especially the color temperature. Its way too towards the warmer side even when selecting “normal” in color temperature, but cool is way too blue for my taste. Keeping it at normal and further tinkering with windows color management calibration leads to a better output.

10/10 points for this monitor’s brightness. Usually gamers and even other regular users tend to prefer darker rooms, except maybe very professional designers or people who heavily deal in art (but they most likely won’t be searching for a monitor in this budget anyway) and this monitor has more than enough brightness.

Colors as I said before are good but definitely have room for improvement in that category, but I’ll reiterate again, do calibrate the color temperature through windows after keeping it normal in the monitor settings to be on a bit more on the cooler side (reduce the reds and greens via windows, the monitor’s controls are a bit wonky for me but it can be done there as well, however effect is not seen for some steps of one or two points).

Now coming to the display itself, contrary to some reviews here, I definitely have backlight bleeding, and a noticeable one especially at night times. Its at the middle left side on top bezel of the monitor. There is definitely IPS glow and I genuinely think people who say IPS glow is not there may have not checked properly. Backlight bleeding is just on your luck, I am not going to ask for a replacement just for that reason for now as truthfully its tough to get one without backlight bleeding without some good luck. I am willing to tolerate the bleeding since its only at one spot and not “too aggressive” of a bleed.

The displayport gave me a little trouble as for some reason it just wasn’t going above 60 Hz even when manually setting it up for such in Nvidia Control Panel. Had to do a some reconnects of the cable on both gpu and monitor side to get it working, but yes it does work with the given supplied cable.

Another good thing is, this monitor can also support G-Sync over Display Port (working with the supplied cable). Some nvidia driver enabled this support. Just head over to nvidia control panel and setup the gsync, however it comes as “Gsync compatible” and not fully loaded with gsync features, still it will get the job done more or less.

In the box are only power brick, DP cable, and stand along with some manuals I doubt anyone reads.

Just my personal suggestion, but its better to run the monitor at 119.880 Hz or 120 Hz as it is a direct multiple of many popular framerates (23.976/24 fps for movies, 30fps for many camera captured videos, 60 fps becoming quite more common today) which leads to much less frame duplications, but its not something you will notice unless there is a panning motion of camera from left to right or such. Also most people don’t really care about it and if you don’t see the difference, feel free to run at whichever you like.

That’s all I have checked yet, if there are any updates, i’ll write it on this review as well.

Edit 1 : The color uniformity is not good in this monitor. The monitor ( or my unit ) has warmer shades as we move towards the bottom of the screen than on top. Since a replacement is not available, i’ll be returning this monitor and get it from another seller to see if another unit has it better. I would personally have been ok with it were it not so noticeable as it is right now. Not only are the colors warmer, they are a bit dull too, especially on bottom left. Camera can’t pick it up properly so I had a hard time proving it but props to amazon’s customer service.

In short the display is good for the price of 18000 the colours are accurate and 95%dcip 3 colour space and delta E <1 at 1440p resolution and 180Hz refresh rate

In detail
Pros
1. The colours are really good when comparing it to my 1.5 lakh Sony TV the colours are very good and having it pre calibrated for Delta E <1 it's excellent.
2. The resolution of 1440p and 27 inch at the price of 18000 where as for this price point you get 1080p 180hz monitor it’s an absolute steal.
3. Very ergonomic stand for the price excellent monitor the stand has all 3 degrees of adjustment height, tilt and swivel and side by side which is not present in extremely high priced monitor also.
4. Very good brightness levels brightness was so good that I was using it with 55% even in well lit room and 100% it was extremely bright.
Cons
1. I got dead green sub pixel on day one but it has 3 years of warranty so I am little relaxed even if something goes wrong.
2. The speaker are for name sake
3. The HDR is not worth it you need atleast some form of local dimming or OLED display.
4. There is little bit of screen bleed but the camera phones exaggerates a lot more in person it’s not that visible and even with small light in room it’s not visible
5. There is no 10bit support.

In short the monitor is very good for the price of 18000 it rivals the monitor of price 30000 the only good option that I can say that you should consider is lg nano ips 27inch 1440p which for 30k and Gigabyte M27Q which also 30k but it is not that attractive I would wait for few years to get OLED for this price segment.

I wanted to experience the 21:9 aspect ratio for my work for gaming and this monitor did not disappoint me at all. The picture quality is great, the gaming experience is also find provided you have games that support this aspect ratio and the price is also fine. Though I’d like to say one thing here that be extra careful with this curved monitor reason being monitors in general especially a curved monitor like this are not repairable nor you’re gonna find any replacement screen if anything bad was to happen to your screen. Overall a great monitor with 200hz refresh rate and 21:9 aspect ratio.

It comes with just only dp cable not with HDMI 2.0 cable so you would have to buy a good quality cable like for 499₹ so take that in mind.
But other than everything is fantastic.And it is also 16 amp so you would need a big plug port.
