Acer has announced a new monitor called the Nitro XV272U KF. It features a 27-inch 1440p IPS panel. The refresh rate is 300 Hz. It is AMD FreeSync Premium certified and has a 0.5 ms GtG response time. It is also DisplayHDR 600 certified and covers 90 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The Ergostand allows height adjustment along with tilt and pivot. There are 11 preset display configurations. The Acer Display Widget tool is used for adjusting the settings. Connectivity options include HDMI 2.1. Acer Vision Care 3.0 technology helps prevent eye strain by adjusting brightness and color temperature settings, and the monitor is TÜV/Eyesafe certified. It will go on sale in November for $1,099.99.

The Nitro XV272U KF is a 27” WQHD monitor that boasts a 300 Hz refresh rate for seriously smooth visuals. AMD FreeSync Premium Technology further enhances visual performance by varying the display’s refresh rate to match that of the GPU, eliminating choppy gameplay. A low 0.5 ms (G-to-G) response time further improves image quality by virtually eliminating the blur of fast moving objects on screen to enable lightning fast reactions to gameplay, while Acer Black Boost technology makes it easier to pick out details such as hidden enemies when in darker environments.

VESA DisplayHDR 600-Certified, the monitor takes advantage of 90% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut and Delta E<1 color accuracy rating to make games look more lifelike. Acer’s Agile-Splendor IPS panel provides high contrast and vivid colors even at wide viewing angles, while Acer Vision Care 3.0 technology brings several features that may help reduce eye strain during prolonged usage for a more comfortable viewing experience. For example, Acer LightSense detects the amount of ambient light in an environment and adjusts the display’s brightness accordingly, and Acer ColorSense matches the display’s color temperature to that of the surrounding environment. Additionally, the monitor is TÜV/Eyesafe certified.

The Nitro XV272U KF monitor sits on an Ergostand that allows users to find the perfect viewing angle by adjusting its tilt, height, swivel and pivot. It also includes the Acer Display Widget, a tool that allows gamers to automatically adjust color settings and choose from a range of 11 preset screen-snap configurations to simplify the process of keeping multiple windows tidy.

As a child of the 70’s I was part of the many who became enthralled by the video arcade invasion of the 1980’s. Saving money from various odd jobs I purchased my first computer from a friend of my dad, a used Atari 400, around 1982. Eventually it would end up being a lifelong passion of upgrading and modifying equipment that, of course, led into a career in IT support.
