Acer Vero V277 G 27" Black 2025

A 27-inch 1080p monitor with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, but dim and color-challenged. Buy it only if you find it dirt cheap.

The 120Hz refresh rate is the headline here, and it's genuinely smooth for everyday use and casual gaming. But the 4ms response time is nothing special, and the 250-nit brightness means this thing struggles in a bright room. We were surprised by how much the panel's color accuracy fell short of the 99% sRGB claim in our testing, landing in the 38th percentile for color. It's fine for spreadsheets, but don't edit photos on it.

The LG UltraGear 27G810A-B is the obvious step up if you care about gaming, with better response times and brightness. The Dell S2725QC is a smarter pick for office work, thanks to its 4K resolution and USB-C connectivity. The Acer Vero V277 G sits in an awkward middle ground. It's not fast enough to be a serious gaming monitor, and it's not sharp or bright enough to be a great productivity display. The HP OMEN 27qs G2 also beats it on color and speed for not much more money.

Pricing is all over the place. In the US, we're seeing listings from USD 113 to USD 160, and the best deal right now is on Newegg at the low end. In Canada, the spread is even wilder, CAD 172 to CAD 390. At the low end, this is a reasonable budget monitor. At the high end, you're getting ripped off. Shop around before you buy.

The Acer Vero V277 G is a 27-inch 1080p IPS monitor that tries to be a budget-friendly do-it-all, but ends up feeling like a compromise in too many places. The one thing to know? It has a 120Hz refresh rate, which is nice, but the 250-nit brightness and middling color performance hold it back from being a true standout. If you need a basic big screen for work and light gaming, it gets the job done. Just don't expect it to wow you.

If you're looking for a bright, color-accurate display for photo editing or a high-performance gaming monitor, this isn't it. Go get a Dell S2725QC for work or an LG UltraGear for gaming instead. This Acer is for people who just need a big, cheap screen and won't push it hard.

The Acer Vero V277 G is a budget monitor that only makes sense at its lowest price. If you can grab it for around USD 113, it's a decent 27-inch 1080p screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. But once you start paying more, you're better off with a Dell for work or an LG for gaming. It's not a bad monitor, it's just not a great one.
