Targeted at competitive PC gamers who prioritize refresh speed and immersion.
The Acer Nitro ED270R is a 27-inch curved VA gaming monitor with a high 165 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response, delivering smooth gameplay.

Professional reviewers commend the Sceptre C275B-FWT240 for delivering a rare combination of a 240 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms response time, and near-full sRGB coverage at a very affordable price, making it a standout budget VA gaming monitor. They appreciate the immersive 1500R curve, flexible connectivity, and added conveniences like built-in speakers and blue-light filtering. However, they caution that the 1080p panel may look coarse on a 27-inch display and that console gamers cannot exploit the high refresh rate due to platform limitations, while the modest brightness could be a drawback in bright environments.
Everyday buyers praise the monitor's ultra-smooth 240 Hz performance, immersive curvature, and the convenience of built-in speakers and multiple HDMI ports. Common complaints revolve around the 1080p resolution appearing low on a large screen, limited ergonomic adjustments, and insufficient brightness for very bright rooms, especially when used outside of a dim gaming setup.
