Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the XG270HU monitor's excellent picture quality, high refresh rate ideal for gaming, and generally positive performance. However, some users express dissatisfaction with the lack of VESA mount compatibility and the quality of the integrated speakers. The stand's limited adjustability is another area where improvements are suggested.

    Very fast refresh rate and 1440p are a must

    The pros: 1440p 144hz refresh 1ms response Freesync/Gsync compatible The cons: TN panel (although this doesn't make much difference when your going for all out performance imo) No vesa mount (I fixed this with a custom mount courtesy of YouTube) Not color neutral (burnt orange panel on bottom of screen and mount) Buttons on bottom right of the monitor to control function are no intuitive at all. Could have used any kind of usb ports on the back. Good panel but iOS are catching up in response time.

    Great monitor for the price. Comes with every cable you could need to connect it do your PC. Refresh rate is great! Colors are good for price. IMPORTANT: you will need to use a display port in order to get the max refresh rate and resolution.

    The colors are vivid and the 144hz make it’s super smooth feeling. The only thing that this monitor could have done better on was the stand, very limited movement and tilt. But for this price they made the right sacrifice.

    Huge difference

    I bought this monitor on sale 299. I thought it was a good deal for a 27” QHD 144hz. I have a laptop with a GTX 1070 with a 17” screen at 75hz, so the jump to this monitor was huge. I also bought an Acer 27” shortly after, that went on sale, with a regular FHD “1080” resolution at 144hz, but with an IPS panel type. I have had an older IPS monitor in the past and I know how great the colors look so I thought I would compare the two. In short the QHD’s resolution made a huge difference when a little distance, in game, came into play, “ playing mostly PUBG.” I can’t emphasis the difference I saw. The blue light mode on the panel makes everything look a little blue/green but it really works well and I have no problem staring at the screen for long periods. As far as the other monitor, the IPS looks great as far as color but playing FPS games, trust me, go with the higher resolution if you have the option. That being said I am running PUBG at pretty low settings to maximize my frames at 2560x1440. I am running an average 100 to 130 frames. So if you have a graphics card less than 1070, I would recommend trying out QHD on the games you play before hand, just to make sure you can keep the frames up. Only thing I would say they could improve on is the stand. There is only an up and down tilt movement and NO mounting screws on the back for an auxiliary mount. For me I am just interested in a good looking/performing monitor so this isn’t a big deal, I can work with it. Hope this helps, thanks.

    This monitor is the best money can buy, hands down. With its superior contrast ratio, 1 ms response time, and 144 Hz refresh rate, and it’s unparalleled 2K resolution, you simply can’t beat it for the price. I’ve been using it every day since I purchased it, and have not noticed any discoloration or fading as of yet. Usually customizable, and all of the monitor settings are adjustable by a series of six buttons. Would highly recommend.

    Runns 144hz at 1440p g sync and freesync compatible weather using one or multiple I highly recommend this monitor. The one thing that I do dislike is that it isn't vesa compatible basically you need a adapter to mount them on the wall or on arms. There are plenty of company's that make them and they work perfectly even acer recommends some.

    Only had this for 1 month, but so far all I can say is wow what a difference. I went from 1080p at 60 Hz to 1440 at 144Hz and image quality is unbelievable. I mainly play World of Warcraft and it was like a whole new visual experience. So far no dead/bad pixels.

    G Sync Compatible and Great Quality

    Yes, it is OFFICIALLY G Sync compatible (it’s on Nvidias website) and yes it’s a bit pricey but oh dear it’s awesome... great picture quality, speed and response time, barely any input lag and it works wonderfully. Just one note: NOT VESA COMPATIBLE!! So you’ll have to deal with the ACER stand that does not adjust height. They sell brackets out there to adapt it to VESA which is what I did (not a perfect fit but these get the job done!) other than that, this thing works wonders

    My favorite monitor

    I’ve had 5 monitors, all at least 2k 120Hz and this was probably my most reliable one. It’s not only good for typical computer use, but amazing for gaming. Very easy to setup, and adding minor tweaks to the calibration will put this monitor on par with top tier monitors. Color is way better than I expected.

    I love this monitor, I will say the first one I got had a loose panel for whatever reason but Acer told me to send it in. Since I saw it the day of purchase I declined and returned for another. Next one perfect, I get best of both worlds fps and resolution wise. Be careful though, it will possibly make you wanna invest in better cpu parts lol. Also if you watch old videos the menu is blue. The newer ones have a black menu and have features like an aim pointer like Asus. I dunno why they don't mention that at all.

    For those of you looking for a good FPS 144 hz monitor this is a great buy for the price. Only thing i wish this monitor could do was have more of a range of motion in the tilt and riser settings for the default stand as adjustment is very minimal.

    This is the nicest monitor I have every owned. Out of the box everything worked perfect. 1440 with 144hz, the screen is vibrant and the action is smooth. I have not used the built in speakers. Would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade.
