Review on Acer KG271 Bmiix FREESYNC 1920X1080P πŸ–₯️ Monitor with 75Hz Refresh Rate and Tilt Adjustment by David Burton

Revainrating 2 out of 5

flashes irregularly and no solution

TLDR: It flashes at the most inopportune moment and is so unpredictable that I would like to send it back. First, let me say that this monitor is VERY comfortable to use. if it doesn't flicker! I had flickering issues the first day after receiving it. I found some solutions and disabled gsync (it was the only 144hz monitor that wouldn't break my bank but it has free sync, no g-sync unfortunately) and cable replacement but it works for a while eh then I get the days where it flickers 6 CONSECUTIVE TIMES. It makes me crazy. I would have sent it back and gotten a new one (NOT from Acer) if we weren't in a weird stock tracking situation. My friend has a known model (only 25 inches instead of 27) and it works amazingly well. And yes, that may just be an accident, but it's also a known problem with Acer monitors, as their panels are poorly designed and poorly tested in other models. So as soon as there is a chance for new stock I can just sell it (the return date is already overdue :/ I tried to give it a chance) and buy ASUS or BENQ.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Bad viewing angles
