For those of you gamers out there, now’s the chance to get a gaming monitor at a budget-friendly price. We’re not talking just any random gaming monitor as well. Under Acer’s KG271 Display Series is the KG271A, a monitor used for professional eSports tournaments.
Left v.s. right: screen tearing v.s. no screen tearing

There are a total of 3 display monitors in the series, with each of them providing full HD 1080p resolutions, built-in AMD FreeSync technology that eliminates screen tearing, and Acer’s own BlueLightShield technology that protects your eyes from long hours of staring at the screen.
If you’re a hardcore gamer though, give the KG271B a shot instead for an even smoother gameplay with less motion blurring – it has a screen refresh rate of 240Hz, which is almost double that of the KG271A.
