Acer - XG270HU 27" LED QHD FreeSync/G-SYNC Monitor - Black/Orange

I bought this monitor on sale 299. I thought it was a good deal for a 27” QHD 144hz. I have a laptop with a GTX 1070 with a 17” screen at 75hz, so the jump to this monitor was huge. I also bought an Acer 27” shortly after, that went on sale, with a regular FHD “1080” resolution at 144hz, but with an IPS panel type. I have had an older IPS monitor in the past and I know how great the colors look so I thought I would compare the two. In short the QHD’s resolution made a huge difference when a little distance, in game, came into play, “ playing mostly PUBG.” I can’t emphasis the difference I saw. The blue light mode on the panel makes everything look a little blue/green but it really works well and I have no problem staring at the screen for long periods. As far as the other monitor, the IPS looks great as far as color but playing FPS games, trust me, go with the higher resolution if you have the option. That being said I am running PUBG at pretty low settings to maximize my frames at 2560x1440. I am running an average 100 to 130 frames. So if you have a graphics card less than 1070, I would recommend trying out QHD on the games you play before hand, just to make sure you can keep the frames up. Only thing I would say they could improve on is the stand. There is only an up and down tilt movement and NO mounting screws on the back for an auxiliary mount. For me I am just interested in a good looking/performing monitor so this isn’t a big deal, I can work with it. Hope this helps, thanks.

First time buying acer, since my last monitor was a view sonic 1080p from back in 2008. This acer 1440p monitor is very easy to install just plug and play. However it took me a few hours to figure out that a DP cable was needed to take advantage of amd free sync at 144hz in which let me tell you it's very smooth image playback. Big difference from 60hz to 144hz especially in gaming with significantly better image quality and color depth than my old monitor.

I was a little skeptical at first about this monitor, when it arrived at my door and unboxed it, the first thing I loved is that it didn't have any borders around the screen. It has a nice wide screen with amazing lighting and detail. When my new computer comes in, this will be an amazing machine!

Great monitor for the price. Comes with every cable you could need to connect it do your PC. Refresh rate is great! Colors are good for price. IMPORTANT: you will need to use a display port in order to get the max refresh rate and resolution.

I just upgraded from two 24 inch screens to two of these ones and I could not be happier! The quality of the picture on these are amazing! The 144hz refresh rate makes everything crystal clear!

My son has been very happy with this monitor. The refresh rate really smoothed out the graphics and the clean, sharp images dont blur at all.

This monitor has a stylish design and provides deep, rich colors as opposed to the brightness of color that other monitors seem to provide. Excellent for serious gamers.

High quality product, worth every penny. Highly recommend this to anybody.
