Nice speedy review, instead of wasting 13 minutes of our time. Appreciated and good video.
Adeed... speedy.
just like me when im in bed with my wife
unboxing reviews are the fucking worst. clearly too lazy to do 2 videos separately but then again are we too lazy to skip the segment? nah its the uploaders fault =/
Fucking oath
Thank you for an extremely informative, professional review. So much better than the "stars" on RUclips who sacrifice information for personality.
He forgot to talk about the port next to the dual USB ports. I still don't know what that is used for
Great review. Thanks, you actually analysed what was important!
Purchased the Acer Predator IPS version late 2019, excellent monitor for gaming and very good for photography. Massive jump from an old 1080p 60Hz to 1440p 165Hz! Very happy with it and got a good deal on black Friday sale for £479.
This monitor is over 4 years old, and still one of the best out there. Keep in mind there are two versions of the XB27HU. the "bmiprz" version is the one reviewed above, and the "abmiprz" version is the TN panel with 1ms response time. Technically TN is going to give you faster response times for competitive shooters, but sacrifices with image quality a bit and viewing angles. I tend to do more than just gaming so I stick with an IPS. IT's personal preference, but I think the IPS is worth the bit of sacrifice on ms response time. Going to go pro gaming fps? get the TN.
The main reason I thought i'd comment, is there is 4k 144hz out there now, but its EXPENSIVE and its DECEIVING. You cant go 4k true 4:4:4 color and run it at 144hz (98 at best). You'll also drop about 2k on the monitor as well. If you are really wanting to go 4k with a high refresh rate - YOUR WAIT IS ALMOST OVER! The main reason the refresh rate is low, is due to the limitation in bandwidth on display port 1.4 (yes, you have to use dp..dont use hdmi on these kinds of monitors please). back in June it was announced Display port 2.0 will be coming out in 2020. It still seems to be going that route, but I would safely bet you wont starting seeing mass-produced monitors with 2.0 until late next year. The bandwidth on 2.0 will allow 144hz @4k in 4:4:4, and 8k @60hz! Exciting times are ahead.
At the end of the day, i'm going with this monitor for two reasons:
1) it's still the gaming standard after 4+ years, and does an excellent job
2) it's an affordable purchase to hold you over until the "next gen" comes out. If it was going to be a month or two i'd probably wait, but being about a year out, its worth it now IMO.
Hope this helps anyone looking for that perfect gaming monitor!
you also need a super expensive pc to run 4k at 144hz, a single 2080ti is not enough at max settings in most modern games
That was quite helpful. Thanks.
Can you compare this monitor with the MSI mpg27CQ?
Thank you i was stuck on choosing
still cant find 144hz with AdobeRgb 85% and normal contrast about 1000-1100, only innolux panels but they ale flickering
You review helped me a lot! Thank you.
I really like the way you do your reviews!
Best review ever. Keep it up dude
And now it is time for an Acer Predator XB271HU vs. LG 27GL850G match.
Now that's how you do a review... talk about what the average user gets from each display and leave the detailed tech jargon for the enthusiasts who will find that themselves
Great job
Nice short crispy review 👍🏼
Very good review!! Thank you so much! :)
Pretty good review but would have liked to see a backlight bleed comparison, I've heard the Acer has less bleed and better quality control, think I'll probably go with the Acer.
I love your accent, your tone and voice :3
Thanks :)
I just purchased this exact monitor a week ago at Costco for $649. This monitor is high quality all the way through. I tested the Asus first hand. 2004 ips glow with extreme bleed. The Acer did not have these problems.
Amaz3ments Just got mine yesterday from Costco. I was pleasantly surprised they had them. 144hz is a huge difference from the standard 60hz refresh rate. Battlefield 4 and CS GO play much better on this monitor compared to my older 27" 1440 monitor.
I am very happy for you. Everything is so smooth. I like how we have the option to overclock to 165 hz if needed. I do not know how I stayed on my old 60hz 27 inch monitor. 1440p is the way to go. If they are still around which I think they will be. I will purchase another one soon. Just to keep consistency. :)
Amaz3ments I just bought one yesterday at Costco for $500 US! They had 2 left in stock.
I hope the Acer is good. I just ordered it. I hope I'm happy with it. I been playing on a 60hz monitor for a while now.
Razial so? many months have passed, would you recommend it?
Very nice review. Ty
Wow! This is how all reviews should be!
Reviewers on YT never comment on the awful backlight bleed that plagues these panels, just on how perfect they are... funny that.
It would be nice to see test of TN, VA and IPS test of this monitor in one place.
Bought two of this puppies for 400 on eBay and I'm awestruck the image quality is so pretty and gaming at a high frame rate is fantastic
Which puppy?
Great video! Surprised to see that you have so few subscribers. Should definitely post some reviews on reddit (subreddits like pcmasterrace, pcgaming, hardware, nvidia, android, etc. ...).
A reason for why the screen wouldn't go over 120 Hz in CSGO could be that the Framerate (FPS) was limited to 120 by the game and or VSYNC was on. Another reason could be that you're using an older graphics card that might not support 1440p with high Hertz numbers.
Thanks. I've never really used Reddit, tbh. Maybe one day I'll get into it.
As for the 120Hz, it could have been quite a few things but I'd already done the testing to check it all worked properly and this was just it being awkward for when filming that shot so I just went with it.
Just ordered this monitor and this video helped me make my decision, can’t wait for it!
Did you like it? I see that it's 4ms response time. I always played on a 1ms montior 1080p because I play competitive FPS games like Call of Duty & Battlefield, I don't want to be in a disadvantage. What do you think?
Also, I am thinking of getting a 1440p monitor but seems like this is the only monitor I can find in amazon that fits my budget.
IVZA I think it’s great
@@MrSr3nity_97 I have this monitor and a 1ms 240hz and the 4ms is almost impossible to notice. I play the same games as you, and you're not at a disadvantage because you're also playing against console players on low fps.
I would recommend saying in the title that you were comparing the two referenced monitors. I was looking for a comparison for ages before I just decided to watch separate reviews. A different title would have made this comparison more easily identifiable.
ive had this for 2 years great monitor for gaming
Great video mate but you should change the title to a comparison
You mentioned around 3:00 "after calibration". What did you do exactly? Is It per software or did you just tweek the seetings and used your eyes as "judge"?
Got 1 and Im very satisfied
Sorry I'm new to monitors, I just brought the acer but how do I do a full calibration like you said? Is it just changing the settings to the right point? And if so what are they for the acer? Thanks and subbed.
I'd like to know aswell :)
You download profiles from people who calibrated their monitors, or you buy a display calibration device if you can spend more money, then you won't need anyone anymore (as long as you know how to calibrate your monitor).
Which is better? Acer Predator XB1 or XB271HUA. Both are 2560x1440p, 1ms, 144hz, g-sync but the XB271HUA is 27in and the XB1 is 23.8. I sit about half a meter from my current monitor
I might go with this one and barring a major quality control issue and there is no need to return it, I have what I think are fixes for that awful stand and gaudy logo. It's a bit of a turnoff. That said, the negative reports I've read on both, from customer reviews, does give me pause. For some reason there seems to be more issues with the ASUS. I understand that IPS glow is expected but backlight bleeding and ghosting are my main concerns on IPS machines. I will have a look in the store and decide there. Micro Center gives you 30 days to return with no questions asked. I think 30 days is more than adequate.
Seems like the Acer panel has a slick looking panel but has awkward looking feet. I like the red trim but wonder if theres room on my desk for the stand. Had a hell of time installing its base fwiw.
i don't understand, which is the best monitor?
i have this Dell S2417DG monitor and i dont like the colors at all. would this be a better monitor? Id like it to be 100hrz or more, 3-5ms response time. 2k or 4k. powerplay with g-sync.
I need to know if this monitor is compatible with VIVO Dual LCD LED Monitor Desk Mount Stand Heavy Duty Fully Adjustable fits 2 / Two Screens up to 27" . Im trying to set up a duel monitor setup and need to know if im going to be able to attach the monitor onto the stand.
That 100 quid difference would buy you a counter-balanced monitor arm which, honestly, makes having a monitor on your desk less of a pain in the proverbials - makes it much easier to gain some desk space if you need it and you can push it back when that 6 monthly desk clean comes around. Plus the feet don't get generally in the way. Too much focus on the stand which is an irrelevance and not enough on the monitor more generally for me.
Just ordered it from amazon
Which Monitor ist better the one with 1 ms or with 4ms?
@TechyTalk please suggest monitor for gtx 1060 6gb. 144hz required
Bought this " monitor, but in the built-in menu there is no option for Sharpness. I have contrast, brightness, picture format, everything you could ask for, but no sharpness. When I play games or read non-windows windows (for example, Skype) it's much blurrier than it was with my old monitor, where I could adjust the sharpness.
144Hz Refresh-Rate and NVIDIA G-Sync Working?
Im thinking of getting this monitor. I have a question the hdmi for this monitor is 1.4 will it work with my gpu hdmi 2.0?
to everyone who is wondering which is better. I had both of them at the same time used them for about 1 week. after I got it calibrated they both are equal in gameplay and color reproduction. I love the Acer look more than the asus but that's just an opinion the sand is bad ass on the predator (: I would go with the Acer if I were you and save 100$ I returned the asus . it was a hard one but I went with acer simply because it's cheaper but offers same shit (:
For me the stand on the Asus is a clear winner - it looks better, is far studier and has smoother movements - but otherwise I think you're right and I'd go with the Acer.
I went for the Acer!. I wasn't overly impressed with either stand to be honest, but the fact that they have the same panel but the Acer is £100 cheaper means it's a no brainer really. Plus I have heard the QC is really bad at Asus at the minute.
agree whit you !!! whit all the stuff you said !!!
the asus got the led stuff on the stand ... that make the higher price .... and i personally think there is no sense to spend more money for the same monitor ... and anyways the stand of asus look better ... but the panel of the acer look cooler for me !!!
Actually, this is not true, I don't know how the creator could miss that, but they definately do not feature the same Panel. Acer features actually a later and upgraded Revision of this Panel.
Another noteworthy argument is that the XB271HU is actually Acer 2nd iterration of a >100Hz ISP monitor, where they worked on the flaws of it's predecessor, while 279q is the 1st.
All in all you have a way higher chance being involved in a returning marathon with the Asus, which refund rate is so high amazon even stopped shipping it.
it has blue light at 2:11 thanks for this review
Could you do a "how I calibrated my monitor" video
Sure, I'll see what I can do. I don't have this or any of the other monitors I've reviewed on this channel anymore but I could do a generic guide.
Hey! How did you calibrate your xb271hu. If you could i would like to know.
same here
This one or PG279Q ?
Some users write that this monitor XB271HU, when exiting the game on the desktop, in the mode of g-sync, there is some flickering. Or, in general, an artifact appears in the form of a vertical strip separating the screen exactly in the middle. Can be treated on/off monitor. And that when viewing RUclips, or scrolling sites, the objects are pulled purple plumes.
How true is this? Have you ever seen anything like this?
I have this monitor and this is true. After a year of using it I wish I chose another monitor. Going to RMA the monitor as I currently have a grey shadow vertical line in the left side of the screen. The monitor is great but matrix fails in a year and many forum users report the same. For that money it should work well for at least 7 years
I dont think I am going to choose Acer low quality products in future.
Do you need game mode on or off ? If your gaming
What about backlight bleed?
Other sites say the Predator has overall less IPS glow and backlight bleed than the Asus?
oh...ok :)
For what I heard on many reviews that's true and also I heard Asus panels are actually made by Acer and the extra price come from the brand mostly.
With bleeding you also have to be lucky on delivery. When you buy a pro grade monitor for graphics you sometimes exchange samples a couple of times because of blacklight bleeding and I am talking here of monitors for loads of money, not gaming ones. So you might be more or less lucky. And those monitors provided by producers for reviews might be preselected to have less bleeding.
@@marcgrab yes true.bleeds are luck of draw.I sent back 2 ROX strix laptop for bad bleeds 3rd one same.
I am going to buy it
Hello, is the Displayport cable 2m in length? I have ordered one of these but might need to buy another cable if it is shorter! Thanks.
Sorry, only just seen your question. I didn't measure it I'm afraid. I'd say it's between 1.5 and 2m.
How did you do a "full" calibration?
Whats the best possible gaming monitor 144hz or higher 1440p 27 inch?and low response time 2ms or under?would it be possible to get a ips panel?I play alot of cs and want the smoothest possible display.currently have rog swift tn version.my setup is i7 8700k 1080 ti rog strix for anyone wondering .was looking at this one but would love to get your incite.been racking my brain trying to make up my mind.like i said just want the smoothest possible choice.thanks in advance guys
Today I learned that there are displays with external power supplys. I've never had a screen that hasn't used the standard IEC 60320 C14 connector.
When i turn the Gameing Mode on it changing automaticly to srgb mode. Is this normal? I mean the Acer Predator.
I bought this not knowing that I can’t get 120fps though hdmi. Was trying to get the best out of my Xbox series S but now I have to return it. It’s strictly for PC gaming.
Just returned my Asus 279Q, for a darker 2cm spot in the middle and tons of backlight bleeding which apparently both monitos produce. Besides that it was a pleasure to work with, loved the blue light filter options. Won't trust Asus monitors with my money anymore though.
why it isnt recommend to put it at max brightneess
True 8-bit panel?
How often would you find yourself going into the OSD? Enough to justify the extra cost? Here in NZ, the Acer is $1200NZD and the ASUS is $1500. I don't think the $300 is worth a better OSD and slightly better stand.
On sale tonight at PB Tech for $1100.
Good deal, but managed to pick up an ex demo model or $1000 a few weeks ago! Was when everyone was out of stock and just happened to stumble across it on Trade Me when I randomly checked. It was fate... Haha
I don't mind the Acer OSD at all. After a short while I don't even have to look at the buttons due to muscle memory. This is just something that has to be brought up in a review because it is review time and any and all flaws has to be on the table. At the end of the day it is your own choice and your own money.
Adam Lockington Just got the Acer recently and I much prefer the OSD on my 5 year old Dell monitor. Still, I wouldn't hold it as a negative on the Acer. Once it is set, you wouldn't need to get in the OSD, so I don't see it as a big deal really.
uhh.. so what should i have the brightness at? and what color profile is best? anybody have a recommendation
no they are not the same panel. The acer uses an AUO M270DAN02.6, and the ASUS uses an AUO M270Q008 V0. It's very hard to find details about the Asus's panel
.
I heard the asus is better, but I keep seeing reviews about dead pixels. Which one should I get?
Heres my case, bought the asus rog because Im a Rog fan, however, when it came half the screen the upper part, was yellowish than the rest, is this what you guys are calling BLB?, I had to return it as I am a Graphic Designer and won't be able to work with a monitor like that, I was planning on getting a replacement and came across this one, to be honest, I like the Acer stand better, it is less bulky and will fit even better on my desk, as for the quality, they are apparently the same and Ive heard Acer makes the panels for asus soooo, also, heard this one has less BLB, so decided to go for this one,
Good luck. Hope you enjoy it.
do you know if the predator XB271hu monitor runs 120hz on ps5
Wich monitor has better picutre Asus ROG Swift PG279Q or this i know its about the same but somehow i like the acer abit more
Well the are nearly identical color wise, but the Asus has alot of backlight bleed to the point of it being noticeable in daily use.
Id recommend the Acer
Hi
I buy Predator XB271HUAbmiprz.
I Will receive it in a few days.
Do you think your settings is ok for mine?
yours is a TN panel. You should not have gotten the Abmiprz . It has a TN panel.. The IPS is the better panel.
Does it work with EVGA 960 gpu?
This is a great monitor, I really like it, but after 3 months I got a red line down the middle of the screen. I sent it back, and now I'm waiting for my new one, hopefully this one doesn't malfunction
DA2THFA1RY ? Which monitor did you have?
Nastypsychoboy The one in the video, and I'm getting another one through a warranty claim because the last one malfunctioned
DA2THFA1RY I'm sorry bud but I'm extremely dumb and can barely walk and think at the same time, there are two different monitors in the vid which one did you have? Ta
The Predator XB271HU
how is it now man i wanted to buy the new alien ware monitor but in australia they only sell free synch and tn panel and on top of it they want 600$ witch is a joke for no g synch was thinking for getting the one in the video for i think 750$
Should I get the XB271HU, or the PG278QR? Not 9Q, 8QR.
+Zachary Maestas I'd definitely get the XB271HU but that's because I put a lot of value on the image quality of IPS. If all you care about is gaming performance then the PG278Q is better as its TN panel has a much faster response time (1ms vs 4ms).
How do remove the stand
For anyone who is torn between these two models like I was, let me tell you my experience. I purchased the ASUS. $949 AUD plus shipping ended with a cost of $1010. Out of the box my ASUS has severe backlight bleed in the upper right and mid left areas of the screen. And I mean SEVERE. This is probably among the worst feelings you can have, similar to buying a very expensive computer and putting it altogether and realising it's not working or blue screening. I decided this just wouldn't be acceptable and asked for my warranty return and sent it back, to which they replied to me and agreed that the issue was severe and asked whether I wanted a replacement or a refund. I decided to have a replacement but I asked if they could test it for me first to make sure it was okay, to save myself having to go through this again. They opened a second ASUS for me and sent me an email claiming that this other one had even WORSE backlight bleeding than my original.
In the end they recommended due to my unfortunate luck that I go with the Acer Predator XB271HU. They were kind enough to refund my money and I purchased the Acer instead for a less price of $849 plus shipping for a total of $910 and I have to say, despite having a less appealing design and the frustration of having to assemble it and not to mention the extra space the stand takes up, the Acer has had no backlight problems at all for me. Slight IPS glow but that's a given. Overall I'm relieved and happy with the Acer.
I can't believe how ridiculously poorly manufactured the ASUS is considering how much money they ask for it. Very disappointed with ASUS here. It feels like they're slowly turning into Razer.
Still recommended? This and the asus pg 279q just dropped in price because of the new monitors coming out soon
totally
Hi guys. Please help me how to connect my monitor to my computer. Dunno where to connect my DP and HDMI. Do i need to connect them.both?. And also where should i connecr it? Is it in my GPU or my motherboard. Thanks guys. Appriciate it.
Do you need a console for windows on it?
does this work with a VESA mount? Im trying to set up a duel monitor with x2 of these. anyone know if this desk mount will work with this monitor? VIVO Dual LCD LED Monitor Desk Mount Stand Heavy Duty Fully Adjustable fits 2 / Two Screens up to 27"
This monitor has a 100mm X 100mm VESA mount.
So if you're using an AMD 1700X can you still make use of this monitor?
Yes. The monitor will work with any graphics card or CPU combination. However, if you want G-Sync then you will need an Nvidia graphics card, but this isn't affected by whether you have an AMD CPU.
Anyone know if this monitor will work for an evga GeForce gtx 1060 6gb sc ? Will it b able to run it at least in between medium and high settings ?
Why does Gsyinc monitors have less ports than FreeSyinc again? I did not quite understand it.
You'll have to ask Nvidia that. :D For some reason the G-Sync module can only deal with two inputs - 1 x DisplayPort that will support G-sync and 1 x HDMI that won't.
I can get the asus one for about 50 euro more on amazon, just for the look of the stand I would buy that one instead, I really wouldn't mind the cheaper alternative but damn, that red coloured stand just puts me off.
i got a Predator Pc,keyboard,and i LOVE the red monitor bit!
awww I gotta assemble it in like 2 seconds booohooooo
Did you like it? Do you do video image editing? And what about movies?
what is the ips type in the asus ?
How is this for sim racing
PREDATOR WINS.
FLAWLESS VICTORY.
DOLCENERD 95 FATALITY
Why my stand has a pointy tip on top of the stand and this s not
One question: What's the input lag on the Acer?
4 ms I believe
So the only difference is a stand and better controls during calibration. I see no reason to pick the asus over the acer then. I'm sold. Glad I purchased the acer.
One important thing it doesn't say that's mentioned on reddit is that the Asus has considerably more back light bleeding (on blacks/dark colours) Acer is obvious choice for me, when I can save enough for it................
I had the PG279Q and the BLB was hardly noticeable compared to my previous MG279Q.
Asus may have stepped up their QC a bit
They both have shit for QC. Look up Acer forums lol. Nothing but people with issues (BLB, dead pixels, twisted images etc)
I've read many reports that one must return the Acer monitor several times (like 3 or 4) until they get a proper one that actually works and isnt horrible in some aspect. Thats a process that can easily take months.
Its a lottery when it comes to Acer or Asus gaming monitors.
Would anyone still recommend this?
Is there anything better than this out now?
Literally the only downside I could find with this is the 4ms response time.
I know the reply is late but I have been using this for a year. I don't think there is anything better than this... 4ms response time is the best for a 2k IPS display you can get at a budget. The 1ms response time monitors come in a TN panel which is not ideal for editing and professional use since the colour aren't accurate. The refresh rate 144Hz out of the box more than enough makes up for the 4ms time. The stand that is not appealing to some has an advantage if you want to move your setup from one place to another. The reason the cost is low in this segment is because it is 1440p display. Not a 4k. A 4k IPS panel with similar specs would cost over 1200$ to 1600$. I bought my xb271hu for 650$.
Do you have a guide for your calibration? Just bought one myself.
This display has very good image quality out of the box so you shouldn't really need to calibrate it unless you're a professional photographer/videographer. Literally all i did in terms of the monitor's settings was drop the brightness. To get any better than how it arrives you'll have to get a hardware colorimeter - the final calibration I did was with DisplayCal using an Xrita i1Display Pro colorimeter.
Thanks for the quick response. I'll adjust the brightness a bit.
Asus pg279q still has serious quality issues, the back light bleed is unacceptable at that price, i have bought and returned 3 of them before trying out the Acer 271hu. The Acer 271hu i received is perfect, no bleed very nice uniform colors only drawback is i prefer the design, OSD and looks of the Asus.
Cheers
Just bought the ACER as its around £50-£100 cheaper in UK

@@rsk2440 yeah. But this is Gsync display. So in the future it would be incompatible with AMD gpus. And AMD is starting to make some high end gpus. And there actually is 1ms IPS displays. There are new displays coming (also nano IPS), with 1ms GTG response time. They will cost around 500$

Can you post the calibrations for the Acer Predator? I have a hard time finding a good one.. Or maybe I have a bad panel, hard to tell!
Because the out of the box image quality was so good on the sample that I reviewed, I didn't change any settings on the monitor except brightness (personal preference). All I did was a final software calibration using a colorimeter and DisplayCal software. As such there aren't any settings I can recommend. What don't you like about the current image quality?
The whites on my monitor are way too yellow-ish for my taste. I also compared it to my 5k iMac (Maybe not a totally fair comparison, but what the hell), and the blue bar at Facebook for example, looks very washed out. The blue colors don't really pop.
Or maybe the iMac is over saturated?
It's possible the iMac is oversaturated - I believe some of them do have high-gamut screens. The only thing I can recommend to fix the white balance is to choose the User color setting and increase the Blue channel. Just a couple of steps should do it. If that doesn't quite do it just experiment changing the channels until you get closer to what you prefer - the fact you have an iMac for reference means you should be able to keep track of things (trying to calibrate without a reference is all but impossible). You shouldn't have to change any one colour channel by more than 10 steps. If you do, you will likely start to reduce image quality in other ways.
Thank you! I will try and calibrate it when I get home. But OSD calibration should be enough for this monitor to achieve great colour?
Bjørn Frihagen and did u fix it
After this one I now have ASUS 9Q and man! .. HUH! Amazing , just fck amazing! He is a KING! And this is not review, this is all about BUY cheaper because it's cheaper.
Would it be possible to use this monitor with just a normal GTX 1080... would I still get maximum settings for most games?
Matt Eaton no, 1080 is too weak. You need at least a dual-SLI 1080ti
it will easily work with a 1080 man.
nice troll, but let the kid know that 1080 can handle even more than 1440p lol
Still have it... Why should I replace?
Me too
Can someone tell me if the stand gets in the way of your mouse cable?

There is any backlight bleed or ips glow ?
There is ALWAYS backlight bleeding and IPS glow.
