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.

I love this monitor, I will say the first one I got had a loose panel for whatever reason but Acer told me to send it in. Since I saw it the day of purchase I declined and returned for another. Next one perfect, I get best of both worlds fps and resolution wise. Be careful though, it will possibly make you wanna invest in better cpu parts lol. Also if you watch old videos the menu is blue. The newer ones have a black menu and have features like an aim pointer like Asus. I dunno why they don't mention that at all.

Only had this for 1 month, but so far all I can say is wow what a difference. I went from 1080p at 60 Hz to 1440 at 144Hz and image quality is unbelievable. I mainly play World of Warcraft and it was like a whole new visual experience. So far no dead/bad pixels.

Very pleased and would recommend it. Great monitor and thinking about getting a second one to match.

Great monitor. Amazing color and so realistic. Nice design as well.

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.

Great Picture...144hz! Replaced a 24" Acer Monitor.

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!
