Acer Nitro 27 WQHD 180Hz Gaming Monitor

The Acer Nitro KGB271U is a 27-inch IPS gaming monitor built around a 2560 x 1440 WQHD panel with a 180Hz refresh rate. It delivers 1ms response time, AMD FreeSync support and HDR10 compatibility. Connectivity includes two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort 1.2 input. The cabinet is black with a fixed stand and integrated speakers.

Competitive gamers who value high refresh rates

This monitor suits players who want fluid motion in fast-paced titles at WQHD resolution. Buyers who need height adjustment, pivot or swivel on the stand should look elsewhere. Those requiring USB-C video input, higher peak brightness for HDR impact or a curved screen will not find those features here.

180Hz refresh rate at 2560 x 1440

The single specification that decides fit is the 180Hz maximum refresh rate at the native 2560 x 1440 resolution. If your graphics card and games can push frame rates near that ceiling you will benefit from the smooth motion. If your typical workload stays at 60Hz or you target 4K resolution, this panel's defining attribute goes unused.

Questions about this item

Does the Nitro KGB271U include a DisplayPort cable or do I need to buy one separately?

The monitor ships with a DisplayPort 1.2 cable in the box so you can use the 180 Hz refresh rate immediately.

Should I choose the 27 inch WQHD 180 Hz model or a larger screen for competitive gaming?

The 27 inch 2560 x 1440 panel at 180 Hz with 1 ms response gives a high pixel density and fast motion clarity suited to competitive play.

How does the 180 Hz refresh rate behave when connected to a console over HDMI?

The two HDMI ports support the panel’s 2560 x 1440 resolution; the 180 Hz rate is available over DisplayPort 1.2, while HDMI runs at the console’s supported refresh rate.
