    Acer Predator XB271HU bmiprz 27" WQHD (2560x1440) NVIDIA G-SYNC IPS Display, (Display Port & HDMI Port, 144Hz)

    • The panel is amazing, and anyone that complains about the screen glow/bloom as compared to others are really looking for things to whine about
    • The IPS glow, on the other hand, is fairly severe if not viewed from an optimal angle, and while this isn't very noticeable in normal gaming, it is a bit disturbing.
    • In all honesty, I had anxiety waiting for it to be shipped, expecting dead pixels, horrible IPS glow, a defective Gsync module, or worse... a cracked screen
    • The yellow glow in the bottom-right corner of mine was awful and noticeable in any dark scenes in games/movies
    • No bleed, barely any IPS glow, no dead pixels, no scratches
    • Whites were ok, but the glow and bleed were awful
    • However, the backlight glow is really, really bad
    • The colors are very vibrant, minimal glow on my panel, and very fast response times
    • The 165Hz overclock as well as G-Sync really makes a difference in games because it is immediately noticeable.
    • Being an Acer product, and nVidia G-Sync ready, I figured I'd try it out
    • the viewing angles, the g-sync, lack of any dead pixels, and the excellent base
    • ugh).One G-Sync issue (or maybe just confusion on my part) is that I've set v-sync off in the control panel, but it keeps re-enabling itself somehow
    • No dead pixels, no yellow color back-light bleed on the corners, and oddly seems as though it performs better than the other one (I was starting to have spotty G-sync performance, but that could also easily be my aging video card - time will tell).I've also managed to balance out the colors between the two monitors, and they're just about identical now.
    • R Gain: 97G Gain: 97B Gain
    • The g-sync with my gtx960 (soon a 980ti) works flawlessly and I can definitely feel the difference going from 60hz to 144+hz, and I can safely say I will never be going back
    • Had issues getting G-SYNC to work, and Acer response was basically "replace your $4000 computer with dual 980s, the monitor could not be at fault".
    • Clocking at 165Ghz and buttery ultra smooth with G-sync that really smooths out game play
    • Acer took into account all the complaints about the XB270HU (already a great monitor) and addressed it in this one with no cheap O-ring and no glossy bezel
