Abstract: Earlier this year Acer released the best gaming monitor on the planet, the first 144Hz model to use a beautiful IPS screen. The 27-inch, 2560x1440 G-Sync monitor replaced the Asus RoG Swift as our favorite thanks to its superior IPS screen. Well, Asus has...
Gaming performance far beyond any 60Hz monitor, offers excellent color and off-angle viewing, fully-adjustable stand, provides incredible smoothness even when the frames per second aren't sky-high,
Some may not appreciate the glossy frame and stand, annoying blue LED power light, single DisplayPort input limits flexibility
Are we in love with the XB270HU? Absolutely! By combining so many fantastic features into one model, it truly achieves something very close to perfection. It's a great all-around monitor, and it's a great gaming monitor. To recap what it does for the gami...

GSync, 144Hz, QHD resolution, IPS/AHVA panel, ULMB blurreduction, accurate color, grayscale and gamma, excellent contrast, bright picture
Blurreduction is nonadjustable, expensive
There's no doubt that an IPS monitor is preferable to a TN one when it comes to ultimate image quality and off-axis viewing. Acer has produced a screen to lust for in the XB270HU. With G-Sync, a stable 144Hz refresh rate, QHD resolution and a superb AHV...

A truly stunning display in every regard from picture quality to detail but most of all the array of enhancements for an IPS panel. G-SYNC, 144hz, and ULMB are all fantastic in their own right and own use cases. This is the complete package all in a gorge...

Excellent gaming scores in our tests, Solid color and gray-scale performance, Fully adjustable stand,
Pricey, Only one video input
The Acer XB270HU is a 27-inch monitor that uses In-Plane Switching and G-Sync technologies to deliver a great gaming experience...
IPS panel paired with G-Sync is everything we hoped it would be, No external power brick needed
Glossy bezel and pedestal reflect screen image and are easily scratched, ULMB support capped at 100 Hz, No 3D Vision Support
The Acer XB270HU was long overdue in terms of an IPS G-Sync display - something many gamers have been waiting for since G-Sync was announced. While the longer pixel response time precludes 3D Vision support, this panel is still capable of an impressive 14...
