At the time of this review, this is the world's only G-Sync, 144hz, 1440p IPS monitor. And Acer nailed it. I'll break it down, but first let me state that Acer has released a driver for this monitor, and you should download it.
Pros:
-G-Sync, AND 144hz, AND IPS (ensures consistent viewing angles). All in one.
-Beautiful matte monitor finish. I hate glossy monitors.
-1440p. I chose this over 4k @60hz. Let me tell you. 144 vs 60 is night and day.
-Immediately detected and G-Sync was automatically enabled in Nvidia Control Panel
-Sharp design
-Sturdy, adjustable base
-I had no dead pixels, build quality is perfect.
-Best monitor I have EVER used.
-A word for the complainers.....light bleed happens in LED backlit screens. And it really doesn't matter at all. You can see it when the screen is dark but it doesn't affect anything. You'll likely never notice it.
-Shipped EXTREMELY fast. I love Amazon.
-Packaging was appropriately enormous and protective. I thought it was a part for my brother's Jeep when it came in. He had ordered a bull bar.
Cons:
-Bad Displayport Cable: The one shipped with my monitor would occasionally stop detecting my monitor. This had me so angry for days, downloading and reverting drivers, plugging in and out furiously, and regretting everything. Then I bought a gold-plated, longer displayport cable, and that completely solved the issue. Go ahead and grab a gold-plated cable anyway, they're so cheap on amazon.
-A lot of people, I mean a lot are complaining about small issues like having to RMA and send stuff back. Pay attention to them. I guess I got lucky. Then again people are WAY more likely to review if something is wrong.
-I wish I could play on this screen all day. Witcher 3 looks so amazing by the way. With this and a Titan X, everything runs smooth as butter on the highest settings. G-Sync is amazing. Be sure to turn off V Sync always!!!! You are better than that filth now!!
If you are still trying to make a decision, just buy it. It's a wonderful monitor. WORST case scenario, a dead pixel shows itself and you send it back, get it back soon, and enjoy the best monitor experience ever. Acer is a great company.
Luckily for me my tower is right on my desk so the provided Display Port cable and USB 3 cable were long enough. Some have said they were 6 feet long but I doubt that. I did not measure them but I would say 5 feet long at most, and they just looked short. If you have any distance between your tower and your monitor you may want to order a longer cable if you buy this monitor.
Now I am ready to fire it up and roll the dice. I did notice some bleed on the monitor when it was at the just black screen, but honestly I moved around to see what were subtle reflections of lights in the background, and what was really bleed. The screen is not glossy so it does reflect glare somewhat, but with a black screen and lights in the room you will be hard pressed to see what is bleed and what are just normal reflections. Since I do not ever just sit at the computer and look at a black screen with every other light turned off, this quickly made any talk of bleed issues a nonissue to me. The proof will be when fire it up and see the display and actual gaming.
Now everything is booted up and I use a plain solid orange color for the background of my desktop. Immediately I notice how vibrant the colors were and how crisp the words were. Already I am starting to feel real good. I searched for dead pixels and I thought I found one. However I was so impressed with the initial startup of the monitor that I really did not care about one pixel. Later it turned out that the tiny black spot was just a spot of dust so in the end I could not find a bad pixel. Even if I had I would have lived with it. Your mileage may vary. This monitor had a September 2015 manufacture date.
So now the initial examination is over and I am totally impressed. I used to have a Samsung TN 24” (16 x 10 format) fairly high end TN monitor but visually it could not even compare to this. I was happy with what I had and I did not mind the color shifting if you moved. Or the “fogging” if you looked at an angle. I always just looked straight ahead anyway so it did not bother me. Now though I can say what others have said, I will never go back to TN again regardless of performance or cost. Now that I see what it can be, I will not go back at least anytime soon. It truly was a case of you don’t know what you’re missing until you see the difference up close and personal. It was stunning.
Then I fired up Witcher 3 and set off to kill some bandits and monsters. I was totally blown away by the vibrancy and crispness of this display. Everything just “popped” on the monitor. Game play was smooth as silk but I never had issues with the old TN display either. I do not have FRAPS so I cannot say what the framerate was, but all play was as smooth as can be. I do have a 980 ti so I believe I have plenty of power to push games, and this monitor to the max. During gaming I could not see any bleed issues so again this became a nonissue for me. When something is displayed on the screen I could not see anything at all.
Overall I am totally thrilled with this monitor. The cost is high but if you are coming from a TN panel screen, you will not regret spending this money if you can afford it. You will see such a huge difference that once the money is spent you will not miss it, and you will see what you have been missing all along. Now I just have to sit back and wait shortly for Fallout 4. Life is good.

Muy contento con mi compra.
Battlefield y Rainbow Six Siege se ven espectaculares. Una combinación de resolución y fluidez única.
Total estuve eligiendo entre el asus PG278Q y este acer XB270HU, confio mucho en asus ya que sus componentes nunca me han dado ningun problema, pero el monitor no me convencio debido a que el panel es TN y si vas a hacer la inversion por algo tan costoso mucho mejor un monitor con panel IPS, y el nuevo asus PG279Q aun no esta disponible nisiquiera en amazon USA con amazon como vendedor,. asi que no habia vuelta de hoja,. tenia que ser el acer, lo tuve en la mira varios meses pensando en comprarlo en usa, pero tuve la sorpresa a mediados de febrero que estaba disponible en la pagina de amazon mexico ya no habia peros.
El envio venia por amazon estados unidos, escogi el envio mas economico y aun asi me parecio muy rapido, lo pedi un jueves y el lunes ya estaba en la aduana de monterrrey, se detuvo en la aduana y se comunicaron conmigo hacerca de unos papeles para liberar el envio, pero todo fue rapido y ese mismo dia lo liberaron para su envio a mi ciudad.
Tengo que admitir que acer no es mi marca de referencia en el segmento gaming, pero los comentarios positivos en las paginas americanas y en youtube me dieron confianza, el paquete venia perfectamente sin muestras de mal manejo, las instrucciones son un poco cutres a la hora de decirte como armarlo pero solo es cuestion de sentido comun.
Es importante mencionar que el monitor no incluye cable Display port, yo pensaba que si venia con el, pero no fue asi y tuve que dejar el monitor guardado un par de dias mas en lo que pedia un cable y llegaba a mi domicilio.
Por fin tuve la oportunidad de conectarlo y realmente probarlo y fue muy impresionante ver la diferencia,. lo primero fue buscarle un wallpaper a la resolucion de 1440p y ver algunos videos en youtube tambien a 1440p y todo se ve increible la verdad mucho mejor de lo que esperaba, sobre todo que los angulos de vision son completos y no hay tantos reflejos de luz como con los otros paneles.
En cuanto a videojuegos el primero con el que lo probe fue the wittcher 3 todo en ultra ssao activo, todo y la verdad es una experiencia mindblowing, los niveles de detalle son increibles, los efectos, particulas, sombras, todo se ve muy bien.
En juegos FPS lo probe con star wars y bf4 y se juega a otro nivel, los detalles en explosiones, luces, todo esta a otro nivel. por el momento lo corro con una sola gtx 980 ti y creo va sobrado de poder.
En general estoy muy satisfecho con el monitor, tenia mis dudas pero Acer se saco un 10 al entrar por la puerta grande al mercado gaming, sobre todo a un precio mas accesible en comparacion a los monitor ROG de Asus,. aun faltan detalles por checar por ejemplo no estoy muy familiarizado como funciona el gsync, pero con el tiempo si surge alto importante actualizo la reseña.
un 10 a amazon mexico por traer a Mexico productos de esta categoria, ir a USA, para que si todo lo puedes pedir desde tu casa en Mexico.
Admittedly the gloss for stand and bezel is a bit disappointing, but you won't notice it the moment the smooth, clear image with vibrant colour turns on. Your eyes will be hard pressed to look away. Easy to set up, easy to adjust, and easy to calibrate. No crazy gimmicks, just a great monitor. If you can fit this into your budget, I highly recommend it over anything else.
