    This monitor is a BEAST! Though it is expensive, it’s worth the money, whenever I have the time for a nice gaming session, my eyes don’t hurt thanks to the built in blue light filter, graphics looks nice and crisp for a 1440p display. I also really dig the matte finish on the display that reduces glare. I currently have two of these for my gaming set up and I have no regrets

    Hesitant at first, but this is a great panel.

    My Acer X270HU died this week. It was a flagship WQHD monitor from Acer that was about five years old. I was hesitant to purchase another Acer, but stumbled onto this and it checked all my boxes. GSync, IPS, 1440p, 144hz+ (165), and 27”. I was concerned that this panel doesn’t have a true GSync chip but I’d gsync compatible. However, using DP 1.4 GSync performs flawlessly in my experience with it. There are also things that I consider to be an upgrade to my beloved X270HU. The top and side bezels are much thinner, the refresh goes higher (more headroom for a better gpu to drive more frames), color gamut seems more full (it really looks great. It does support HDR400 but I found that this isn’t sufficient enough to be worthwhile, with it enabled things tend to looked washed out rather than more dynamic between colors/light and dark. There’s also an addressable RGB strip in the bottom bezel. Some folks will dig this, it’s not distracting during gameplay, but also seems unnecessary. Finally, the price. My X270 was 800.00 when new in 2015 and this panel checked out at just over half that. Considering it’s been a more than just replacement I consider that to be a big win. There ARE better panels out there, but that doesn’t take away from this one being a great contender at its price point, feature set, and performance level.

    Such an amazing monitor. I searched and reviewed a couple dozen monitors, and most monitors get a lot great but a lot negative reviews. I happened to go in to purchase a Lg monitor figured it got good reviews and was inexpensive so I would just live with the negatives and this Predator monitor was on display. Went home reviewed more but not much on this specific monitor. Decided to spend the extra money over the LG and get it, so glad I did because I’m very happy with it. Easy setup, awesome picture, and plays perfectly with my Asus M16 laptop. All the negatives I worried about with other monitors I haven’t seen with this. Still need a mini dp to hdmi cable to run 165 but don’ haven’t felt very rushed to get since it looks great at 144. Completely happy even with spending a bit more than I wanted.

    I highly recommend this monitor for people that just got a PC. The grafics and FPS are amazing without any attachments on the PC. It is easy to set up when i first got it. I am new to having a PC but i strongly believe that this is one of the best monitors i could find.

    Still great! The RGB is what actually sets this thing aside competition for me. Sometimes I have it on, sometimes not. Absolutely the best (unless you want to spend over a thousand on OLED).

    I got a new PC with a new GeForce RTX card wanted to update my old Asus 24" LCD with a gaming monitor. This monitor fit all the criteria I was looking for, 27", IPS, high refresh rate, G-Sync, built in speakers. Works great with my setup, games look fantastic and when I switch to work I have so much space to fit spreadsheets, email, SAP, Teams, and such. Monitor is bright, colors pop, and the RGB on the front is cool to watch. Speakers are not very loud, but hey, it has speakers! I use gaming headphones anyway most of the time. I measured it in store and was happy to find it fit in the monitor cubby on my computer desk, which was only 18.5" tall. It fit in with 2" to spare! Monitor frame and stand look great. I love having the USB ports on the side of the monitor, I can charge my devices while I work or play. G-Sync was enabled with the RTX-3060 on the monitor and in Nvidia settings. The OSD is easy to use and there is also an app you can download to change monitor setting in Windows. Set-up is simple and quick right out of the box, no tools required to attach the stand. Very happy with this monitor, no dead pixels or weird screen issues at all. 27" size seems huge compared to the 24" monitor I had before. I would recommend this easily to anyone looking for a great gaming monitor that is also fit for office work.

    Set up is easy and everything goes together well. Color looks great and the 1440p resolution looks amazing. Only thing I don’t like about it is that the led bar on the bottom is only able to be set to either red, green, or blue you can’t change it to anything else which is annoying.

    Great monitor, had a ps4 at first and it def made me get better no frames obviously bc consoles only run at 60 max but it did render better quality and smoother refresh time, but once I actually got my PC you’ll see what a beauty this monitor is. I would def recommend, you can buy a cheaper monitor wit similar specs, but I’m sure it prob won’t have all the little option this monitor offers.

    Amazing looking monitor. If you hate IPS glow like me, it’s almost non existent on this one. I imagine because it’s an LED IPS? Colors and HDR are great. Pick this one up over any other 1440p monitor, trust me. Cyberpunk looks incredible.

    HDR400, 165 Mhz, 0.5 sec refresh, ARGB bezel bottom, USB 3 ports to the side are just just icing on this very affordable cake of a monitor. 1st use was like my birthday and Christmas morning rolled into one. Planning on adding 2 more to my setup. Best 1440p monitor I've reviewed to date.

    These gaming monitors will fail under warranty, acer will offer repair service. During the repair service your product will get damaged, they will not take responsibility for the damage during shipping or repair...... They'll offer up a 10% discount to sell you another one, it'll fail under warranty, it will get damaged during repair...... I hope you see the pattern here. These product get ridiculously hot, the OSD controls are cheap and garbage and will break. Leaving you at the mercy of acer and their repair service where unless you want to buy another you'll just get shipped your destroyed beyond repair monitor, as they won't even be decent enough to dispose of it after they destroyed it. I've now owned several and they all broke doing the same thing, with the same outcome.
