Acer Predator XB271HUAbmiprz 27-inch WQHD Gaming Monitor - (TN Panel, G-Sync, 165Hz (OC), 1ms, ZeroFrame, DP, HDMI, USB hub, Height adjustable stand, Black)

This monitor is fantastic, G-sync really helps you get more from your GPU. Before I'd try and make sure it didn't drop below 60fps but now I found I could up a lot of the settings and as long as it doesn't dip below 40fps you really can't tell the difference. Images are really crisp and colours are great, I was expecting them to be washed out with it being a TN panel but was pleasantly surprised. I've not changed much in the settings apart from knocking the brightness down a little and have left all the extras like dark boost and dynamic contrast off as I found they didn't help. Build quality is good and I only have a little bit of backlight bleed down each side but you only notice it if you're looking for it. The stand is nice too, it's only let down by the speakers which are really, really poor but I always use a headset when gaming so it's not a big issue for me. If you want a good 4K gaming monitor and own a GTX 980ti or above, this monitor is perfect. I only have a GTX 970 and can get 1440p out of most games on medium settings but I'll be looking to upgrade when they announce the next wave of Nvidia GPU's I also connected up my PS4 which looked really nice, I was a little disappointed that it doesn't automatically switch inputs from DP to HDMI but again it's no deal breaker. I hope this helps, if you have any questions please leave a comment and I'll try my best to help.

As the title suggests I received this monitor in unacceptable condition. For this price you would expect the monitor to undergo some kind of quality control. My one arrived with dead pixels on the screen. Perhaps the manufacturer relys on people not noticing these things. I'll send it back and consider if I want to try a replacement or not.. I will update this review if I do buy another. Update. Having spent more time with the monitor it appears to have some bad ips glow on the corners. The bottom right is the worst but all 4 corners are affected. Colours also appear inconsistent for example on the white screen it seem to appear yellowish towards the left. I wouldn't tolerate this on a monitor half the price I paid for this. I really do not think I will go for a replacement monitor now. This is should have been picked up during QC I'd acer actually does this. It also has the 'corruption flashes' as mentioned by another reviewer of this product. I previously owned the bl3201pt monitor which had this problem. The model I received was manufactured in september 2016 so it hard to believe the quality of the monitor would suffer so much on up to date models.

I bought this mainly for gaming as I finally have a rig that can handle 4k in high end settings. In my view a 32 inch screen is the minimum size screen to really appreciate 4k sat at a desk. 27 inch to me just doesn't make much sense above 1440p. Went for this as the cost has come right down and is really competitive, I like playing strategy and RPG games more than FPS games so a 16:9 screen ratio is arguably a better choice than a 21:9. The image quality is stunning! Best monitor I've ever used. Colours are amazing and vibrant, you really will not be disappointed here. Gsync also makes a lot of sense for 4k games on a monitor like this, even when the frame rates drop below 60FPS the playback is always buttery smooth. In blacked out scenes there is a noticeable amount of IPS glow, this gets worse when you view at an angle but its more of a minor annoyance and does not affect picture quality at all as the contrast is great. Watched several episodes of the Expanse which has many dark space scenes in and it wasn't noticeable. Just to cover there was no backlight bleed or other defects that I could notice on this monitor. Though through other reviews i get the impression Acers QC is not great so always check. Considering that this is the only 32 inch, 4k G sync enabled monitor on the market right now it is very annoying that it has the older Display port 1.2 and HDMI 1.4 standards. Display port is limited to 60hz at 4k so even if the monitor panel could be overclocked it wouldn't be able to get a signal bigger than 60hz anyway. Also HDMI 4k is limited to 30hz. Personally I can live with 60hz though perfectly good for the games I play and enjoy. However my main beef with this thing is that it is not HDCP 2.2 enabled so you CANNOT WATCH ANY UHD CONTENT!!! Of course other than unencryped 4k youtube content that is, that plays perfectly. So yeah if you want to watch UHD Netflix, Amazon or if you plan to get that expensive Panasonic UHD blueray drive and watch UHD bluerays. Do not buy this monitor! That being said 1080p HDCP content does work and it is still a great picture. Still I knew all this and still bought it anyway as primarily its for playing games at 4k. Summary: At the end of the day if you want a 32 inch 4k gaming monitor with Gsync and value picture quality over super high refresh rates this is the only one on the market at the moment and it is excellent. However if you want to use this as an all rounder, play UHD content on your PC, or plug in a UHD blue ray player or one of the next gen 4k games consoles. Forget it look elsewhere.

Cherchant au départ un écran 34" UWQHD je me suis "rabattu" sur cet écran qui bénéficiait de statistiques quasiment aussi bonnes pour 50% moins cher ! Alors soit la diagonale n'est pas la même et la dalle est TN, mais ces détails s'oublient vite une fois en jeu, La gsync et les 165HZ en OC sont tout bonnement impressionnants pour moi qui vient d'un UWHD 29" 60Hz. Les jeux sont d'une fluidité parfaite et le gsync empêche toute déchirure de l'écran. Pour les fps compétitifs c'est tout bonnement idéal. Seuls petits points négatifs cependant, la colorimétrie de base qui n'est vraiment pas idéale et les réglages qui vous prendront une bonne petite demie heure...Même après cela les couleurs restent assez ternes comparé à une dalle IPS, mais là n'est pas le but quand on passe sur une dalle TN. Pour finir, aucun pixel mort sur ma dalle et au bout de quelques jours aucun changement significatifs tout est OK ! Je vous le conseille, ce moniteur est un monstre.

Ho avuto questo monitor per ormai circa 2 settimane, ed e' semplicemente fantastico. I 144hz sono un must per chiunque voglia giocare seriamente e con fluidita', e la risoluzione di 1440p semplicemente migliora l'esperienza quel tanto in piu' da renderla perfetta. I colori sono ottimi per un TN, anche se vanno settati un po', e l'immagine si vede perfettamente con colori vividi anche quando il monitor viene visto ad un angolo orizzontale. Il monitor e' robusto e ben fatto, e la base ha parti fatte in metallo. Lo consiglio a, come ho detto prima, chiunque voglia giocare seriamente e voglia avere quel boost di risoluzione che rende il tutto piu' bello da vedere.

Relativement content de mon achat : Sur les defauts résultant d'acer et de leur contrôle qualité dégueulasse : un peu de Back Light bleeding sur le bord, spécialement que le côté haut droit mais rien de trop méchant (sans doute résolu en démontant le panneau pour qu'il y ait moins de pression mais vue le prix...) Pour le reste rien à dire, ayant déjà un Eizo 2421 en dalle VA, la seul chose à regretter est la profondeur de noir et IPS Glow mais en dehors, l'image est superbe et à priori les couleurs fidèles, le 4k qui est un gros plus et surtout le GSync qui est gage de fluidité dans les jeux surtout avec la 4k qui atomise les performances

E' da un mese che ho acquistato questo monitor e volevo testarlo prima di scrivere una recensione. Esteticamente è molto bello, forse troppa plastica, ma il suo rosso piedistallo in metallo pressofuso (che sembra un "boomerang tecnologico") gli conferisce molta stabilità. Ottimo e abbastanza scorrevole il sistema di regolazione in altezza dello schermo. Molto pratica l'apertura nello stelo centrale, che funge da passa cavi. Il pannello è privo di ogni IPS glow e l'illuminazione è uniforme. All'accensione, anche senza alcuna taratura, il colore (anche il bianco) è abbastanza caldo. I colori sono molto fedeli. Forse il nero non è profondissimo. I caratteri su schermo, anche i più piccoli su una pagina internet, sono molto nitidi. Non presenta effetto scia durante lo scrolling delle pagine internet. L'audio derivato dalle casse interne è sufficiente per essere utilizzato per i suoni di sistema, se volete ascoltare musica o qualche film, è consigliabile utilizzare delle casse esterne. Con i giochi è perfetto: anche se sulla carta è un 4 ms., non si avverte l'effetto scia delle immagini in movimento. I colori sono molto vivaci nonostante il pannello semi opaco. Il G-Sync si comporta molto bene (l'ho collegato alla mia GTX 760) anche alla risoluzione 4K. Avevo solo un problema, che ho letto in giro sui forum su internet che affligge questo monitor: il flickering di una sezione del display per una frazione di secondo (al mio capitava nella metà di destra). Ho pensato, dunque, che fosse a causa del mio vecchio cavo DisplayPort, infatti era così! L'ho sostituito con un altro acquistato qui su Amazon e il problema sembra risolto! Posso concludere che è un ottimo monitor e ne sono pienamente soddisfatto!

He tenido la oportunidad de adquirir este producto reacondicionado por Amazon y no puedo estar más contento. Me ha llegado impoluto y la compra en estas condiciones ha supuesto un ahorro de casi 200 euros del precio de venta usual. Vengo de un 1080p 144hz 1ms tn también de esta misma casa (Acer Predator XB271H), un gran monitor que solo he cambiado porque suelo trabajar con Lightroom y ese panel no llegaba a mostrar el 100% del sRGB. Está claro que hay que sacrificar. He ganado en resolución, fidelidad de colores y ángulos de visión, pero he perdido algo en fidelidad en negros y tiempo de respuesta (1ms del tn frente a los 4ms de este ips). Si es cierto que en el momento que acostumbras a la resolución WQHD de este monitor, el 1080p rapidamente te parece obsoleto. Todo aparece más nítido y realista aquí. Eso sí, necesitarás una gráfica top para poder sacarle rendimiento. Tengo montada una 1080ti y hace un combo perfecto con el monitor. Puede mover altas tasas de frames para sacarle partido a los 144 hz del monitor y su módulo gsync ayuda con alguna caida puntual con el uso de ajustes ultra. Estas altas tasas de frame hacen que el input lag algo mas elevado de un panel ips pase desapercibido. Mi primera opción siempre fue el Asus pg279q pero tras leer muchísimas quejas del bleeding de sus paneles y, que tras un año de continuo seguimiento no bajaba de los 780 euros, no tuve dudas en saltar a este Predator. En serio, una calidad pasmosa. Nada de bleeding, ni un rasguño y todos sus accesorios sin abrir. Esto si que es triunfar. Una compra genial!
