I'm also interested in the Acer KG271BBMIIPX UM.HX1EE.B01 cost around 350$ which makes him most cheap 27" 240hz on the market right now, but can't find any reviews or other stuff about em (google/yt).
Right now looking for new monitor and there is only 2 crit (240hz + lowest lag-time) otherwise must be cool with it 27" to replace my old benq XL2411Z, so will be nice if some one already have the Acer kg271b and can help with that.
Playing Quake & CS:GO. The rig is i5 9600k 5Ghz + 1070ti, so 240 fps isnt a problem, but choosing new monitor is real problem :S, spent more than 2 weeks for that :D

from the - Official List of Best Gaming Monitors only 1 attached to my crit (27" 240hz)
LG 27GK750F (favorite)
also on my current list
Ben XL2540
+the new AORUS KD25F which offer 0.5ms (if its true will be my new favorite as LG)
the question which better of them? looking only for an best flawless monitor with lowest lag time possible :twisted:

I have XL2540 and KG271B. It's ok. No freaky overdrive, no additional input lag detected. I can't decide which one to sell.

Got it today. Seems very decent.

+240hz
+freesync
+mprt (but can't be used in combination with freesync. And it reduces the brightness a little bit, not much - off, normal - extreme setting)
+decent colors (including hdr, but havent tried that feature yet)

- the stand is bad'
- feels a little cheap (compared to my aoc agon AG271QX)

no pixel skipping, or any problems. Overall i am very pleased so far.

update: gonna return it. There seems to be some sort of wierd input lag with mine. I made a friend test this also, he confirmed it. Tried every single setting on the monitor. Don't know what could cause this.

Did you try to turn off freesync at videocard driver and monitor?

Hey, sorry for the late response. But i tried everything i could think off, because i really wanted to keep the monitor. But the input lag is huge, way worse than my 2k AOC 144hz - and my new alienware 240hz.
