The conclusions in our G-SYNC monitor reviews have typically followed a preset path: the offerings offered superlative gaming experiences but fell woefully short in color reproduction, contrast and viewing angles. While those TN panel-based foibles can be...

Acer has crafted the best gaming monitor that money can buy with the XB270HU. It replaces the ASUS ROG Swift as the gaming monitor that I have recommended many friends to buy, thanks to it featuring an IPS panel. This means that you can use the Acer XB27...

144Hz: fast and fluid gameplay, 1440p resolution: crisp, no scaling required, IPS: accurate colours and wide viewing angles, G-Sync makes low FPS much more tolerable
Flimsy, dull and unstable stand, Few gaming features in OSD, Only one input provided
No builtin speakers or audio passthrough, Only a single DisplayPort input
There is a lot to like about the Acer Predator XB270HU. It works particularly well in 144Hz G-Sync mode, and is excellent for gaming with. The picture quality is superb as well. The high 377.9 cd/m2 brightness level of really stands out, while the notably...

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...
Abstract: A fast refresh rate and excellent colour reproduction is normally a combination that is hard to come by. Most gamers know the trade off; for a minimum in "ghosting" you will have to sacrifice accurate colour reproduction. With the arrival of 144 Hz moni...
Good default colours (Delta E = 2.2), Responsive IPS panel (9 ms), GSYNCcompatible, Fully articulated stand, Open viewing angles
ULMB only up to 100 Hz, Connectivity limited by GSYNC
The XB270HU is our new reference gaming model. It was about time someone dared to combine IPS with G-SYNC, and the result is impressive indeed. We were pleasantly surprised by the responsiveness of the panel, which, when coupled with ULMB, displays sharp ...

Excellent gaming experience, low response times and lag. Support for NVIDIA G-sync and ULMB blur reduction mode, IPS technology benefits in a gaming screen, Flicker free backlight and light AG coating
Limited connectivity with DisplayPort only, Lack of some bells and whistles and customisable preset modes, Missing NVIDIA 3D Vision support despite refresh rate
We know how excited people were to get a detailed review of this monitor as quickly as possible, so we decided to release this as a full review straight away without making it a paid preview first. We worked overtime to bring you this quickly as well so i...
