27" VA QHD curved gaming monitor

The Acer Nitro ED270U P2bmiipx uses a 27 inch VA panel with a 1500R curve, 2560 x 1440 resolution and a 170 Hz refresh rate. It targets gamers who want high contrast and fast motion handling in a mid-range curved display.

Installing the monitor and common issues

The stand provides tilt adjustment only, so height and swivel are fixed. Connect via one DisplayPort 1.4 or two HDMI 2.0 ports; a 3.5 mm headphone jack is also present. Built-in speakers deliver 2 W per channel. Some users report that enabling the 170 Hz mode requires selecting the correct input and cable, and that the VA panel can show dark-level smearing in very fast transitions.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

The 4000:1 contrast ratio and 178 degree viewing angles suit dim-room gaming and media consumption. The 1 ms response time and FreeSync Premium support help competitive titles. Buyers needing height-adjustable ergonomics, higher peak brightness for HDR highlights, or extensive USB connectivity should consider other models.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 170Hz refresh rate is active after setup?

Open the OSD menu and set the refresh rate to 170Hz, then verify in Windows display settings or your GPU control panel that 2560 x 1440 at 170Hz is selected.

What cables and accessories are included versus what I must buy separately?

The box contains the monitor, stand, power cable and usually an HDMI cable; a DisplayPort 1.4 cable for the full 170Hz at QHD may need to be purchased separately.

Which version of this 27" QHD curved monitor should I choose for 170Hz gaming?

The ED270U P2bmiipx (UM.HE0AA.201) is the single model listed; it delivers 170Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 with FreeSync Premium on a 1500R VA panel.
