Pros for me:
Picture quality is unmatched.
Eye burning brightness with HDR.
The Colors! OMG!
G-Sync.
I don't know if I got really lucky or this is a refined version of the original monitor but I had unnoticeable IPS bleed and glow.
Cons for me:
Fan noise.
High Price. (Paid $1449 at the time)
Blooming. Ultimately is what led me to return this monitor. Once I noticed it I just couldn't unsee it. I work really hard for my money and at this price point I expect near perfection.

So you're looking for an IPS 4k panel for photo editing or graphic design but don't want to be stuck with 60fps when you game? Say no more.
This is really your only option (Asus has a version that uses the exact same panel). At the default refresh rate (120Hz) you'll get the full 10-bit color profile while at the overclocked 144Hz refresh rate you'll drop down to 8-bit. Some say it's noticeable, others don't notice it. It's a personal preference, however, you'll rarely be able to push 144hz at 4k with today's hardware anyway so I recommend just leaving it at 120Hz and enjoying the better color depth.
The color calibration is excellent out of the box. I re-calibrated with my X-Rite i1 DisplayPro and barely any adjustment was actually required.
I am a little disappointed with the on-monitor picture profiles as you can't edit the default profiles (for example, changing brightness level) because it just switches to "custom" profile, however, the custom profile resets to whatever profile you had last. I know this is confusing, but basically it means if you want to modify the brightness of one profile for when you edit photos, there's no way (that I've found) to actually save that if you switch it to a game mode. This gets really annoying if you're frequently switching back and forth.
I don't notice the active cooling fan at all (even with my ear against the back) and I'm pretty sensitive to fan noise, so don't be too concerned. I'm not sure what other reviews were talking about with the fan being noticeable.
Windows HDR and scaling issues are awful, but this isn't the monitor's fault. Really hoping the big update coming soon helps as it causes flickering and strange mis-scaling at times that can be really annoying.
Overall a great monitor and fantastic for those who like to create and game on the same system.

I just purchased this monitor and have no complaints! The 4k and HDR1000 looks amazing! I haven't gotten to really test it out yet but from the short list of games and videos I've used it for it's done very well, the 144hz is definitely a nice bonus even though not many people will be able to get that on 4k with current hardware. I have a 2080 Super and I believe it compliments this monitor well. The fan on my model makes almost no noise, but I haven't really tested under very demanding games yet. The only downside I guess would be the price but this monitor should be close to top of the line and compliment games and videos for many years to come. I would recommend this monitor.

I've owned several Rog Swifts and had nothing but quality issues with them, so I was impressed with Acer when everything worked as advertised on the first try.... The Color Accuracy, FPS with HDR is pure eye candy... My only complaint has to be the price tag...

This is the ultimate 4k 144hz gaming monitor. This is what separates the boys from the Men. If you don't have a decent rig for this system (2080 Super)...look elsewhere because you don't deserve this monitor if you can't back it up with a decent system that will take full advantage of it.

I have run the gamut of research on monitors. Tftcentral, blurbusters, rtings, /r monitors, LTT... you name it ive researched it. This panel is made by AU Optronics and i swear to god they must have the worst QC. Dealt with BLB on a Vizio Quantum M series from them and had to return 2 before i got a good one. Looks like the QC problem is present here too. Aside from some haloing which is endemic to this type of monitor the picture is gorgeous and the VESA1000 rating isnt messing around, it looks great. BUT i got my monitor with a dead pixel, and am currently waiting on another one to come in. Im debating whether or not to go with the X35 but thats another $1000, is VA, and also has all kinda panel issues. Welcome to the wonderful world of the high end panel lottery. In the works from Asus (whose 27uq model uses the same panel as this set) is a micro-led version with more zones, so maybe wait for that. Also of note if you want no chroma subsampling you are limited to 98hz/10bit/HDR, the higher you overclock the more color range you give up due to data pipeline limitations of DP. Great monitor all in all, but be prepared to return a few before u get one that works right. And dont hold your breath for a OLED monitor that fits on your desk to come any time soon... right now this and the X35 are the cream of the crop for monitors. May the monitor lottery gods smile upon you!

Amazing monitor with amazing color reproduction! You cannot beat this monitor with 4k, up to 144hz and 4ms g2g response time. I am so happy with this purchase! I waited to review the product until I owned it for 2+ months, but I can say this product has surpassed all of my expectations! Sidenote for console players is that this x27p model supports Variable refresh rate (VRR) over Hdmi which is an amazing update with this new model.

I had the monitor for a few days. The visuals were unmatched.
But the monitor stopped turning on only after a few days. Should NOT have this problem ever for a monitor in the price range.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
