Finally! The Acer X27 has been released! I waited about 2 years for this moment and now it finally arrived. 4K 144Hz G-Sync HDR (High Dynamic Range) Gaming without any compromises, right? At least the specifications on the Acer Predator X27 are really promising. The X27 is also equipped with a local dimming (direct LED) technology with 384 individual dimming zones behind the panel to offer a superior contrast, black level and a maximum brightness of 600 cd/m2 in HDR mode with a peak of 1000 cd/m2 (nits). On SDR the Acer has a brightness peak around 300 cd/m2. In addition, in the panel build in is a Quantum Dot IPS panel which means that it will offer superior colors compared to "older" 1440p 165Hz IPS panels on the market. So the Acer has a color gamut coverage of 100% in sRGB and 99.6% Adobe RGB as well as a color gamut volume of 171.2% in sRGB and 118% in Adobe RGB. The Predator X27 is using a panel from the panel manufacturer AU-Optronics (known for many other gaming monitors) which has a color depth of 8-Bit + FRC. G-Sync has a range of 30-144Hz.

Any reviews coming soon? You are the best monitor reviewer on youtube hands down, i'm still waiting for a good 1440p 144hz ips monitor without panel lottery and good look (from the current ones the only one i like is the pg279q but since it has the worst qc out of these type of panels i'm not gonna risk it, i'm not gonna replace it like 4 times untill i get a good one).
For real. I just found this guy and it'd be terrible if he stopped making videos right as I found the channel.
@@rookie_breaks I think he might be dead or something...Check out his forum... Website shows copyright through 2019 but all new posts and entire threads are spammed with illegal counterfeit adds for passports and currency...
When are u coming back m8 ? u are great !
Also please do LG 34GK950F review
*Update*: A few people mentioned that there is an adapter integrated to increase the space between the VESA bracket plate and the cooler the monitor - Will check it later when I'm home back from work. (No adapter included but Acer already has solved this issue with a new adapter)
Please note: Before you are asking why I did not record the fan - The problem is that it would not reproduce the real volume (your volume settings, my microphone volume setting)
Please note: Yes 2000$ / 2500€ is too much for a good price-performance ratio on the Acer X34 (as mentioned in the review)
Please note: I get a bigger apartment (+60 square meters only for a home cinema, youtube, and gaming) So it will cost some time to organize everything. Are you interested in a documentation for those rooms?

Lims Cave you rock bro! Love your content
Do they really cost only 2000$ (1700€) in the US ? Instead of 2900$ (2500€) ?
Wtf ? Asus and Acer are Taiwanese companies why do their monitors cost a lot less in the US than in the EU ?
The difference (800€) is enough money to go to the US have some vacation, buy the monitor and come back. LMAO
I am not sure - I am not a taxes and customs pro ;D But yeah, the price here is even more horrible than in the US :P
You didnt understand the Vesa Mount. Here you can see the correct installation methode without blocking the fan m.imgur.com/a/16YTL1b
sure we are
Please come back.
I love the details and informations you give in your reviews man,keep up the good work!
Best monitor ever. Tired of all the negative attention it’s getting. If people saw it in person they’d change their tune real quick.
It's a 27" monitor for that price... not surprised people are being negative lol It's overpriced as fuck
Why for not wanting a tiny 27" monitor over my 35" ultrawide, oh yeah I'm broke poor old me.
El diablo da Costa got one of those two
too. They pale in comparison. Aw34 is awesome. X27 is just that much better.
This is my very first monitor. I have been gaming on tv for decades. I think it's pretty big considering how close I am to the screen. The only problem I have with this monitor is that when I change the resolution in games, it bugs out. When it does work, its blurry. 1440p looks like 1080p. It really sucks because in some games I prefer high frame rates. Some games I like 4k. But I cant change resolution sometimes.
Youre accent sounds so german
Have heard worse/better😋
Well maybe because he is a german? 🤦🏻♂️
Du bist viel zu unbekannt, für die Professionalität die hinter deinen Videos steckt! Weiter so vielleicht kommts ja mit der zeit noch
Greets
if only it didn't cost soooooo much. ;(
As if that's going to be half the price in 2 years.
if you use the VESA incorrectly- yes, it is. I didnt even know there was dam fan on it until I saw people complain about it online.
Well... you can't play any games at 4K max settings at 144 FPS. Linus made a pretty good estimate when GPUs would take advantage of this monitor: GTX 1380 Ti... Year 2023.
@@kvmairforce There are plenty of older games (pre-2014) that a 1080 Ti will run at 4k/144fps.
@@kvmairforce On newer Triple A titles, yes you will struggle to get 144 FPS max settings even with a RTX 2080 Ti. But older titles should be fine, heck, even newer titles like Overwatch you can pull off 144 FPS on 4K with a high-end GPU.
That fan tho...
Has the Asus one a Fan too?
@@tat2thadevil94 yup
Finally a fully in depth review! Thank you 🙏
What animated wallpapers were you using? Thanks!
Just curious. I hope all is well with you!
That's Wallpaper Engine, you can buy it on Steam
It's a sad fact that even in the year 2018, the 4K 144Hz market is still a pathetic duopoly of ACER and ASUS.
We are living in an era where native 4k 120Hz HDR TVs are available at prices way lower than this monitor, yet we're still price gouged for a device that's obviously rushed out of the factory in an unfinished and unrefined state. Crazy cheap and loud fan for a monitor that costs as much as a high end quality gaming laptop? This screams rush job. At this price point they should have either incorporated a highly efficient passive cooling solution as a heat sink that doubles as a work of art or just stick in laptop style heat pipe and fans and since it'll never get anywhere near as hot as a CPU and GPU combined, run multiple fans at rpms used for idling laptops.
At 27 inches and over 2000USD, it's WAY too small. Now, if someone like LG gets serious about creating a 4k high FPS ultimate monitor and uses one of their 55 inch native 4k 120Hz TV panels as the basis and modify the electronics for minimizing latency, USB C and DisplayPort support, then plug in a G-Sync module and price it similarly to the ASUS and ACER rush jobs...
There are no 4k 120hz tv's. HDMI doesn't support the bandwith. 99% of tv's are 60hz. almost all of the TV's with "higher" refresh rates are software overclocked which = artifacting and crap from hell.
IIRC there are 4K TVs that genuinely support 120Hz, but only when outputting at 1080p
ShehzaanA Abdulla My LG does this. With HDMI 2.1 I hope future TVs will be 120Hz @ 4K
comparing pc monitors to TV's, man you are so lost.
4G12 does it really matter though since nearly all panels are made by one manufacturer, AU Optronics.
Very good review, not much filler, all useful information to hear about the monitor. Thanks!
This is some super comprehensive review, good job!
Lim man I wanna really get a G-sync monitor bcs I am tired of all the screen tearing.
My specs :
Gtx 7704gb
i5 4670k 3,4ghz 1
6 gb ram
So if I get 144hz Ips & g sync monitor and I see that my pc cant handel it. Can I downscale to 1080p, will it look good as the native 1080 or it will look bad.
Thanks for your help in advance and great channel!
Yes it can, but 1080p on a 1440p screen will look more blurry than a native 1080p monitor. I would not really suggest it (depending on when you want to upgrade your graphics card)
I don’t care what kind of monitor it is. No monitor should cost around $2000. That’s a damn joke.
Or 2500€ :P I mean, Eizo has released a 30.000€ monitor with a double layer panel and an insane contrast ratio for post-production :P
no monitor should? lmao too bad you are not the one who decides that.
CAT BOY I'm not sure if I understand your comment. I'm the one that desides if I want to purchase it or not. And if other do the same then monitors wouldn't sell for that price range because there would be no market for them.
$1,000 yes, $1,500 MAYBE, but for $2,000 it needs to be BIGGER and perfect
@@LordBattleSmurf Yeah your estimation is correct
You wrtie: When using HDR @144Hz, the black crush does not appear. But as far as I am informed it can not run hdr 144hz but only 98 hz. So how can you write this????
Wehre did I Worte this ?
@@LimsCave I also want to ask you about the fan. Does it make alot of noise after 3-4 hours played? Are there holes so air flow can come into the fan??
Great review! Your animated wallpapers look amazing, where do you get them?
Wallpaper Engine (Steam) - cost around 3€ and you have a full range of animated wallpapers for games, anime, nature, sci-fi.... (:
Great review dude, imo it's too early for 4k 144hz. Even 2080Ti will have hard time pushing that and prices you will pay for it are just too high considering in 1 or 2 years everything will drop 70% of its price. But in few years 4k will be new 1080p.
Absolutely love your reviews!
I'l stick to the $1200 LG C7 a bit longer. $2k for this display with all the compromises isn't worth it at all. DP 1.4 doesn't have enough bandwidth for 144hz HDR 4:4:4, but HDMI 2.1 or DP 1.5 will. Also not even a native 10 bit panel, 8 bit + FRC? Come on......
microled monitors are going to be awesome.
And before that, mini LED. I am really torn between buying one of these, or holding out hope a mini LED version shows up within the next year...
I am still using one of the original led backlit monitors that came out. I bought an oled tv and am waiting till we get monitors that have the pure blacks that oled offers. Color accuracy and contrast are the most important to me. Mini/micro led should really be the best of all world's.
I have the PG27UQ, The stand base is metal and the top part is plastic. Bezels are 19.9mm top, 18.2mm sides and 22.3mm bottom. My fan is super quite and I have wc'd pc with 400rpm noctua NF F12 fans with a max of 800rpm.
Good to know. I should receive my unit soon and will make a "short" video since they probably will not differ by much
before you pay 2.5k for this piece of plastic shit please check out a high end tv model like the "LG C8". TV's have come a long way and they offer much much better picture quality over these shitty "gaming" monitors. input lag is almost none existent on them these days, and they offer true blacks, non butchered hdr (12bit 4.4.4 chroma), and soon freesync 2.0 (samsung already added that, lg surely will follow shortly). they can perform at over 120hz (not just interpolated) if you create a custom resolution in windows with a lower resolution then 4k and also have flicker filters like "lightboost" to reduce motion blur.
not to mention they are several times larger then a tiny monitor made with cheap china plastic. so if you're looking to spend 2.5k bucks, check out one of these tvs first.
I also have suggested buying a TV + a cheaper monitor instead of the X27. I'm still scared of buying OLED because of burn in, especially on a PC (That is why I bought my XE93 for now) But I will get an OLED soon for sure as well, simply to have one for comparisons :P
IPS just has no place with HDR. Manufacturers aren’t gonna bother producing OLED panels either. It’s just gonna be another nice loooooong wait until they get around to producing µLED panels for consumers.
Why do ips panels have no place with hdr. I'm uninformed.
Great review again Lims, this monitor seems to be fantastic and expensive! It's sad that in general, the monitor industri suffer from low quality standards (lottery). You covered the Samsung chg70 very well some time ago, and I like it for the 1440p, picture quality and the fact that it didnt have many problems. Are there any 1440p you know of, that has similar or better quality standards (less lottery), when focussing on image quality and a bit of gaming potential?
For now, no. Samsung CHG70 for VA 1440p and Viewsonic/Acer IPS for IPS 1440p. We still have to wait :)
@@LimsCave lebst du noch bro :=)?
There is something really really important to me I want to ask you about....
How does 1080p contents such (Movies, Netflix, Gaming @1080*1920) look like on native 4K monitors or even 2K monitors ? is it really bad ? Thank you ♥
on 2k a tiny bit worse than my Viewsonic XG2703-GS (which btw suffers from sharpness issues and vertical scanlines) and on 1080p it only looks average (compared to a native Full HD monitor definitely worse). Not comparable to TV's
also waiting for the 200hz ultrawides, gonna watch your review when they drop
ETA on those?
@@sugo8479 When you don't know English, just refrain to use expressions like that. You are saying: "IPS panels are the shit", this means they are the best, then you contradicted yourself with "va for life". Just use your language or learn the meaning right.
@@Sc0rphionx it was just a typo, my bad
@@sugo8479 No problem mate, I thought you were one of those kids wannabe that believe speaking "english slang and modisms" is a cool thing. I stand corrected!
FFS 2000€!!!!! My God, coming from Roumania it's imposible to buy this beauty, maybe if i win on BetWin.
Seemingly the 1440p at 144hz is the sweet spot for gaming purposes, imo. With the problems with blacks and the HDR issues blooming.
Any monitor you recommend at 1440p with 120 hz or higher that have doesn't have the issues of this monitor?
Also, what is keyboard? Looks great
Hey eine Frage, habe den selben Monitor, meiner knackt immer wieder herum, egal ob an oder aus, es kommen immer die knack Geräusche aus dem Monitor, Ist das bei deinem genauso? Weißt du vielleicht woran das liegt und ob das dem Monitor schadet?
Amazing stuff as always! Keep the content coming :D
It would be great if they really could do 144Hz on 4k. But they can't so it blurs the image on anything above 120Hz.
120Hz, however, is totally fine, especially on 4k. I do not want to justify the price, just telling you that ;D
It's still very impressive.
I just wish these companies were straight with us, it's misleading publicity, HP got the flack they deserved for doing that in their 144hz monitors, this guys are no different.
Mach mal bitte wieder Videos, wenn es deine Zeit zulässt. Bald kommen einige interessante LG Monitore und ich würde die echt gerne von dir reviewed sehen :)
It was rather obvious that Acer won't be able to implement good local dimming algorithm. The best and most experienced TV manufacturers are struggling bad with this. This is probably where the difference between Acer and Asus is going to be the most noticeable, Asus is far from serious display manufacturer too but I think they will be able to do better job. You cannot really do much with this because local dimming and FALD is much less effective in desktop viewing environement than on the TV that is watched from much further distance and viewing angles are much less of an issue, while here it is all about viewing angles. But still paying $2000+ for the display from third grade manufacturer isn't really a good idea. Right now with all the complicated backlight techniques needed for HDR the manufacturer proficiency and experience with display technologies is going to matter much more than before, when you basically just slap the panel into the case and thats all you do, no quality requirements. But now it matters. LG and Samsung will have much better idea how to implement FALD. But they will take their time too, as always. Anyway, don't waste your money for overpriced third grade products.
I mean, 2000$ or 2500€ is definitely too high, as mentioned and I think Acer/Asus are not the only problems here (AU-Optronics). Regarding the much further and distance you are totally(!) right and this is the point where VA monitors strongly differ from VA TVs, simply because of the distance (VA monitors will show much more viewing angle issues aka VA Glow and color + gamma shift). I really would wish more TV manufacturers would enter the monitor market (Sony, Panasonic...) would be awesome :O Hopefully we will see more direct led solutions this year, except of the AU-Optronics panels :)
yeah I think with Gsync and AU Optronics we will see better stuff 2019. That´s the only bad Thing About Gsync, that they are limited to AU Optronics, but otherwise Freesync would be worse because Nvidia at least take sure that there will be at least any guaranteed Quality, while it is much more difficult to find the wanted Quality with AMD Card related monitors. I just say 30-max Gsync refresh rate, while at freesync that is difficult to find, also 384 local dimming zones you wont find with Freesync. I think the best monitor Quality will be there in the future and mabye without Gsync and that will suck.
Personally, I could live with a WHQD 144Hz monitors, direct LEDs, backlight strobing and without scanlines/sharpness issues. Maybe Samsung will do so someday. I am just wondering: On the monitor market still is enough "space" to enter and compete with quality control issues from AU-Optronics - But it probably cost too much for the manufacturer since there are enough people out there (probably 98%) without seeing any issues on a monitor. My hope will never die :P
yeah correctly, also I think the most customers who buy every 2 years a new monitor are Gamers with nvidia Cards and the manufacturers would have to work with nvidia or don´t get my Money until I have enough Money for multiple Monitors.
I now registred with my PG279Q that Things like Colour banding are there at 8 bit Monitors and TVs get that away with Chips and Software which probably gives more latency or how you call that...
yeah tv Picture Quality, monitor Response times and Gsync would be a Dream....
But I like the HDR, so 1440p with perfect HDR would be perfect for current graphic Cards.
But in the Long time I would prefer 2160p HDR.
I am also waiting until Football games at Sky are more getting 4k and what the next gen Sony ZD9 can do and then I will decide if it is time for a 4k HDR TV. Also the ZD9 successor should better still be able to Show 3D movies. A bit Off Topic but that is all what my brain related to 4K HDR.
Der Lokator
There is already one called Samsung Q9FN.
And has 480 dimming zones.
Can I plug my MacBook PRO and PS4 and PC AND switch between them in one press????? Please answer me, I wanna pull the trigger on it so badly!!!
Could you point me in the direction of what I should be searching for to get the neat ambient lighting devices you have in your place? I want something like that for my gaming setup haha
Well, I saw this monitor in person, it was on Display, and when I looked at it I just thought "Wow". The game on display was fortnite, which wasn't the best game, but the colors... man, the density of 4k at 27inch... man, the quality of the picture was hella perfect. I have to say that it blew me away. Still, I do believe that this monitor is not worth the price tag, it's just too much. However, I'm kinda exited for future releases, specially for ultrawide monitors with this picture quality.
Where are you #2....?
"the best gaming monitor" that us louder than my entire case?? Hahahaha fuck that shit. Acer go home youre drunk
What happens when that Fan fails ? Wait for next years version. How many dimable zones does it have ?
YES, I ACTUALLY LOVE YOU LIM DONT EVER LEAVE ME AGAIN. I SWEAR IF YOU MAKE A PATREON I WILL DONATE.
Just set the Gamma to +0.3 and the backlight goes fully black if i set it to 0 i have the same slight glow u have
16:04 "new battle royale game from Epic Games"
*zeigt Realm Royale von Hi-Rez Studios*
:P
Haha, verdammt :) Hab da war vertauscht, aber ich zocke die battle royale games auch selber nicht
I had the Acer X27 until Friday last week but ended up sending it back due to it's bad quality...:
Backlightbleeding from hell (very visible when FALD was off!) and a dead pixel...
also it had an unbearable yellowish tint in the left screen area...
and even with using the stand (and not vesa-mounting it) the fan was very audible up to a point where it was louder than my gaming-laptop (which is not a silent beast of course) -
especially after switching settings in the NVidia Control Panel (like changing refreshrate and bitdepth,...)
as for the FALD itself: yes there is haloing - but that was to be expected - 384 zones just is not enough!
and don't forget: this is NOT OLED - so in darker scenes the FALD will reach its limitations! as seen in the HDR chess-demo-video and others...
(i have noticed it a lot while watching jessica jones in HDR via NetFlix App...)
and don't forget: OLED has it's own flaws and issues (image retention, burn-in, 60hz limit, no variable refreshrate and HDMI2.0 bandwidth limitations) -
and is therefore not suited for using it as a PC monitor!
also i noticed, that when opening a black window and moving it over a white background,
the border between black/white occurs purple from time to time... but only if FALD is activated!
brighter HDR content looks fantastic with this one...
for UHD movies i advise to go 4K 24hz 10bit RGB (or if you have a UHD HFR-movie like Billy Lynn 4K 60hz 10bit RGB) - for non HDR content: 4K 24hz 8bit RGB
for HDR games: 4K 98hz 10bit RGB - or if you really get higher fps with your GPU and settings: 4K 120hz 10bit 422
for non-HDR games: 4K 120hz 8bit RGB
but i would not advice to overclock any panel - because of inducing color-artifacts - the panel just has less time to reproduce a picture on screen...
i tested it with my Acer XB27 which i overclocked from 144hz to 165hz and i could see that colors shifted and the yellowish tone enhanced...
with Acer X27 overclocked to 144hz i noticed the same effect - but this time the need for chroma subsampling added its own effects on top...
in general: the higher the refreshrate the less color-accurate the picture will be! and for this panel they optimized it for 60hz and 120hz...
and trying it with a color-test-image - there is a visible effect with using 60hz and 120hz... the colors do shift slightly and loose some vibrancy!
Again: that happens with 1440p GSync monitors too...
but it is of course not a huge problem and is due to the physical limitations of LCDs
besides of HDR10 content there is no usecase for 10bit stuff for normal users...
(even photoshop and lightroom, etc... don't use a 'real 10bit chain' when using a Geforce GPU and this monitor...)
I try to order a second Acer x27 to see if i had just bought a bad model...
but first i had to refund it and now i'm waiting to get my cash back...
at the moment there is no other acer x27 available - but one shop offers the PG27UQ instead... maybe i try this one...
for all potential buyers i would advice to wait at least until a second edition of these first gen GSync HDR monitors...
Acer is known for selling refined models after some time - like with X34, X34a, X34p - etc...
Or just wait for a second generation with 1000 Zones MiniLEDs... as seen at computex2018
This is clearly a FIRST GEN product aiming at early adopters...
if you want a monitor that at least gives you a very good value for your money and uses FALD for good HDR reproduction - you simply have to wait longer!
hopefully its successor will reduce all the flaws this monitor has...
besides of these - this monitor is just awesome!
Hey mate, thank you for sharing YOUR experience with the Acer!
[quote] also it had an unbearable yellowish tint in the left screen area... [/quote]
wow that is really very unfortunate, as well as the dead pixel... :O
[quote] and don't forget: OLED has it's own flaws and issues [/quote]
indeed! I do not like compressed content on an OLED screen (netflix, youtube) a native blu ray already looks much better (black shadow detail)
[quote] also i noticed, that when opening a black window and moving it over a white background, [/quote]
this is probably what I have called "inverse blooming" and causes also the "flicker issue"
[quote] at the moment there is no other acer x27 available - but one shop offers the PG27UQ instead... maybe I try this one... [/quote]
I should get my unit also soon.... Have pre-ordered it but somehow the show is not sending it to me -.-
[quote] for all potential buyers i would advice to wait at least until a second edition of these first gen GSync HDR monitors... [/quote]
I also would suggest to wait, definitely. Only if money does not matter :P!
I would really highly appreciate
I highly would appreciate if you could rate your Acer on my gaming monitor list, would be awesome (: www.limscave.com/gaming-monitor-list
I did - and hope it helps you!
What do you personally prefer? The Acer one or the Asus - in terms of design, style and overall look?
Will you also test the PG27UQ for your channel?? ;)
Design? Definitely the Acer, I really like the shading hoods and also prefer (personally) the foot stand. In terms of the monitor itself, I cannot tell you for now which one but I strongly assume that the difference between both monitors will differ only very slightly.
Will probably make a "short" review on the Asus, not as detailed as the Acer. I will test each topic by myself and probably only show the differences (and measurements + test photos for the page) and lead people to the Acer review to see how this panel performs. I just don't want to spend another 4 days on the Asus PG27UQ :P
Btw, all experiences from other users are really helpful experiences, not only for me, but also for other people out there :)
Lims Cave Seconding the compressed content on OLED thing. Oftentimes black will not be black on the OLED due to the compression algorithm throwing out the needed data. Definitely not my calibration, 4k blu-ray content looks amazing
please do one of the aorus AD27QD id like to know if its any good, if you can.
Excellent info, luv the Cinematic approach of ur videos and look forward to the evolution of your channel. 50/50: gamer/software guy, would like to see some 43" 4k or 3840x1600 monitors
Great review as always. Keep up the good work!!! You deserve way more subs!
2500 ocken und dann plastik und nen billiglüfter. Schon echt ne frechheit der preis. Wie beim asus am besten noch auf die nachfolger warten.
Nicht vergessen das ist das erste Produkt seiner Art. Mit all den Kinderkrankheiten die Aplha Produkte halt haben. Also sicher keine 2 ocken Wert.
Hi, What is your personal monitor now ?
Hi , excellent video , I love the amount of details you put into your reviews , I just pre-ordered 2x2080 Ti , and I am thinking to upgrade my Acer G35 monitor , I was considering this monitor , the X27 , what do you think of the input lag in games ? I usually play competitive multiplayer games .. I know 4K is not the way to go for competitive games , But am curious if it is good enough maybe ? I dont know , I need a way to enjoy my new cards that will come in september .. maybe for casual gaming , another idea I had is to buy the 120 hz G-sync 4k TV that companies will release in partnership with Nvidia , maybe I can enjoy some single player couch gaming and keep the G35 for competitive ? what do you think ? any idea when those TVs will come out ? thanks
Finding a decent monitor is such a chore. It seems every manufacturer has certain defects in their process, Samsung has excellent color, but horrible inversion on their VAs, LG has middling Color reproduction even on some IPS panels, and if you're in the market for a high-refresh monitor, there's even more compromises. Thinking about maybe just getting a solid IPS with a dumpster-tier Refresh rate until the panel tech matures in a few years, and then just migrate that to a 2nd screen. AOC and Philips seem to be sourcing an excellent 32inch IPS panel that can hit 75HZ, producing between 100%-125% sRGB. Uniformity is a bit wonky, but at around $250 it's a lot easier to swallow defects compared to $500-$2000.
Will you review the viewsonics XG3240c in the future? It looks to be a really good panel from the small amount of reviews out there. Would be awesome if you got a review sample or something as you go way more in depth with statistics and specifications than 99% of people doing monitor reviews.
Great channel. Thx for quallity content. If you will have possibility, try to review somthing from budget segment. Somthing like Samsung C27JG50 or Acer Nitro VG270UP.
Do you think you could experiment trying to OC this monitor beyond 144 Hz? Does it work, or does it just fail and fallback to 144 Hz?
Also, is there ANY difference between this and the ASUS equivalent? Or is it just pure frame aesthetics? On your site's post, you described the pros and cons with this monitor, but are they different with the ASUS (better or worse)?
I do not own the Acer anymore so I cannot try to OC. I think the difference between both is only very slight (some design aspects, presets, osd) While the uniformity (white and black), as well as the IPS glow or clouding within TN, will mostly vary between different manufacturers, it is really hard to tell even when ONLY reviewing 1 unit of both monitors. For this, we also need more feedback from buyers out there or order the Acer + Asus several times :P I think even in a 1:1 comparison it should be pretty hard to tell a difference especially because of the dimming zones
what about this review?
www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/8sysb5/acer_x27_vs_asus_pg27uq/
I wonder how this compares with the LG 27GL850
Let's see...a Sony 65" X930E 4K HDR TV or a 27" Acer 4k HDR monitor? I'll take the Sony TV with a much higher peak brightness of 1500 nits which will produce 2x the HDR experience that 27" monitor will. Absolutely ridiculous what Acer wants for that monitor. It's a $600 monitor at best.
600$ is a bit understated. As mentioned, the current price is not worth it and the Sony has a better image quality (:
Not as good as OLED but still good. =)
OLEDs also have it own cons (black crush in brighter image content, burn in issues, uniformity issues after a period of time, black crush in compressed content) OLED really is awesome but when comparing a native blu-ray to netflix for example, you already can see that it looks sometimes weird on the compressed content (personally I did not liked that) but the main reason I have decided for my Sony is that I am scared of the burn-in issues ;D OLED is the clear winner for blacks/contrast/response times (:
I guess if you watch your OLED like Rtings does then you have reason to be concerned. Just don't watch something with the same static image on the screen 24/7 and you'll be fine.
Rtings has made a great comparison with 6 OLED screens (I think) to check the TV's regarding Burn-In and homogeneity issues over time. I'm sure you saw the video :) I had one OLED and after watching 2 movies I already had brighter content (in the 21:9 cinema bars) when I watched 16:9 content for around +1 hours. I just didn't wanted to enter the "risk"
How did you set the monitor to 98hz at 10bit? I am only seeing 59hz @ 10bit option in nvidia and windows display settings on XB273k GP.
For the price of this you can get a 55" OLED TV, and put the rest of the money on any non-HDR ultrawide 3840x1440p monitor.
in fact, this monitor, as well as Asus, cannot HDR as there is no full support for 10 bits, so the display port 1.4 is limited to 98 hz for 10 bits hdr 2160p.
I know this might seem like a strange question but is there a monitor that is high refresh rate so 120hz and up that has a glossy finish on the screen. Ever since seeing an imac I have had a preference for glossy displays because of how it makes the colors pop. I use my PC in a room with controlled lighting so reflections and glare is not an issue.
Hey.. should i still buy this in 2021 ? or can you recommend another? Problem is that nothing is available right now..
What RGB LED Lamp are you using?
Y-your s-s-still alive right? 0.o
You deserve credit for a very detailed review. One of the better one's I have seen. I am waiting for a 32 inch version.
hi, i like the background light. where you got them from. if you can share the link
i'm curious as well
Dude. Please review more monitor. Very interesting
Will this monitor work good for my Xbox series x?
how da FUC* can it cost 2000 dollar or 2500 euro its a BIGGGG difference in price
What were they thinking w a cheap heatsink and fan on a monitor that’s 27” meaning it’s going to be close to your ears.
Where did you get that wallpaper in the thumbnail please? What’s it name ?
Does anyone know why this screen is already discontinued? I would like to buy one but not if it has problems
What do you use for those dynamic wallpapers and any good place to browse some wallpapers? Also what do you use for ambient lighting (the lamp and globe)? Lastly I recently saw rtings review of this monitor and oh my lord is the input lag egregious for a gaming display. 13ms with gsync, 20ms @ 60hz. My OLED C7 is 20ms at 60hz for christ's sake!
wallpaper engine (steam). The lamp is just a cheap RGB lamp which I bought on Amazon. The Globe is no longer available (ordered on Amazon.de - Germany, and it does not have any brand name). Without measuring hardware it is always not really easy to tell a difference between 5 and 10 ms tbh. But it is a good point to be mentioned.
acer predator x27 or asus pg27uq????
And what about the fan noise on the back............................?
Nice video m8 ! Can you do a review on the new
(LG 34GK950G/F ) when they come out ?
Do you happen to know if they fixed the loud fan issue in the X27P?
great review bro... i liked the animated wallpapers , i went to steam and i bought it ..
Hey,
you said that due to the high pixel density you will observe less motion blur.
Can you explain this further?
Thank you very much for those awesome reviews.
Imagine following: A moving bar from the right to the left side with pixels visible with the naked eye (for example 1 cm x 1cm squares) then the motion blur would be much more visible than on a pixel which is "only" 0.2 cm x 0.2 cm big. Due to the higher ppi, the actual "way" of the blur is smaller (I hope you understand what I mean 😂) This, however, is not considered with measuring hardware (an oscilloscope for example)
Damn hoping it'll drop to lower 1500s.. debating on selling my sony x900e to get this instead since I don't really use a TV but a TV looks so nice in the room
If it was 32 inch I'd buy it
wow those are cool lamps, does anyone know the model name? the left and right one both looks so cool
Will you review PG35VQ when it comes out? I want this monitor so bad.
I would buy this instantly if it had a silent fan or not fan at all. Loud fan is a deal breaker.
What about the fan noise plz?
It is loud ;P
I really like your wall paper where can i get it?
Wallpaper Engine @steam
Lims Cav, which monitor would you say is your favorite?
Mine didn't come with a vesa adapter... lol
Got your ps5 connected to it?
I wish auo and others would focus more on refining 1440p 144hz panels rather than moving on to 4k that still have the same issues as before. I would be tempted to spend $2000 on a 1440p 1440hz monitor without backlight bleed, no dead or stuck pixels, and no IPS glow. I'm not at all tempted to spend that money on a 4k version with those same problems and some cool features that carry new problems of their own.
I am total with you. Personally I also would prefer native 1440p 144hz with a better overall quality (: (at least for now with current graphics cards)
I've watched a lot of your videos but still can't decide on a monitor lol.
I have £550 max to spend. £600 just seems too much even though it's only 50 quid more.
I like the look of the quantum dot Samsung and the Dell 27 16dg especially. Trouble is for every good review, you read one worst monitor I ever owned story.
The predators seem decent but maybe a bit too gamer centric design.
But two of the ones I've looked at have gsync, which sounds good although I have no experience of it.
All I know is I'd prefer 27 inch, 144hz, 1440p.
4k just seem too early atm for games.
Which is your favourite in this price range and which is your everyday monitor?
Is there a video card that can output at this resolution and refresh rate for the majority of games?
Even the GTX 1080 Ti struggles to maintain 1440p/120hz. No need to even go to 4k/144hz to know it'll struggle as well, right?
Probably no, at least not in newer triple a titles :P
Where can I buy that LED globe light? I want it so bad
Hey could you tell my how i can test the maximal contrast of a Display (cheapest way? :D)
Ich hätte da eine Frage. Wirst du den Samsung C27JG50 noch reviewn?Ich muss mich momentan zwischen diesem und den C27FG73 entscheiden, der aber eine schlechtere Auflösung hat.
What TV do you recommend for console gaming?
Hey just wanted to say I am so happy I found your channel, you have the greatest reviews I have ever seen! Easily 1m sub channel! Looking forward to watching your journey! I just ordered a 8086k gtx 1080ti and I cant afford a 2k monitor. So in your opinion which is best to buy it can be a tn or ips panel doesn’t matter, I have 1k budget and would appreciate your expertise seeing how you have covered all the best models! Thanks!
So setting it to 98hz gives you best color and picture?
Yes, but I would use 120hz tbh since the difference is mostly only visible on specific test pattern
