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

The pros: 1440p 144hz refresh 1ms response Freesync/Gsync compatible The cons: TN panel (although this doesn't make much difference when your going for all out performance imo) No vesa mount (I fixed this with a custom mount courtesy of YouTube) Not color neutral (burnt orange panel on bottom of screen and mount) Buttons on bottom right of the monitor to control function are no intuitive at all. Could have used any kind of usb ports on the back. Good panel but iOS are catching up in response time.

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.

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.

Just plugged this baby in last night. I like that it has a DVI port so I can still run my old HP desktop. Bought this one for my new PC. Wanted a larger screen and a higher Def. This one has 2560 x 1440 resolution. I like the sleek edge to edge design. I'm actually not a gamer, but this one had all the options I needed so It's a winner in my book. The stand does tilt but is not height adjustable.

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.

Works great. Besides my computer I use it for my xbox one x. Has the 1440 setting with 120hz so games look amazing.

IF your looking for straight quality monitor this is it. Although the color isn't neutral the price is definitely worth it. Stand could be a little better but it also gets the job done with the best specs.

Yes, it is OFFICIALLY G Sync compatible (it’s on Nvidias website) and yes it’s a bit pricey but oh dear it’s awesome... great picture quality, speed and response time, barely any input lag and it works wonderfully. Just one note: NOT VESA COMPATIBLE!! So you’ll have to deal with the ACER stand that does not adjust height. They sell brackets out there to adapt it to VESA which is what I did (not a perfect fit but these get the job done!) other than that, this thing works wonders
