Metro

Just ignore Metro, and his flippant attitude towards anything Acer. Clearly, he has been wronged by the company on a personal level, and now holds a vendetta.

 

Seriously, it's just ridiculous. :rolleyes:

Why buy ACER monitors when most of them have problems.

The xb270hu Problems are solved since Juli 2015. Is there a Reason for your false flag operations?

It has not been fixed, just look at Overclock.net, there are still many problems with it.

So ive been debating getting a new monitor fititng of my sli 970's soon to be sli 980ti's and an ultra wide  1440p monitor seems like it will be a good option. I love the predator x34 monitor but everywhere i buy electronics from is out fo stock or dosent carry it what are some other good ultra wide 1440p monitors you would recommend for gaming?

I would wait for the ASUS PG348Q, do not buy the ACER Predator X34, due to all the issues. Once the ASUS PG348Q comes out, then decide what you want to do

 

there is only one

There is only one, do you mean the only one with the most problems and recalls

Well, I was checking my local microcenter today, and they had a few monitors in stock, including the Pg279q. 

 

I need to decided...

 

Should I go with the...

 

Asus PG279Q (1440P, 144Hz, G-Sync, IPS, Matte Black thin bezels) with horrible QC @799.99

 

Asus PG278Q (1440P, 144Hz, G-Sync, Matte Black thin bezels) with horrible QC @ 659.99

 

Acer XB270HU (1440P, 144Hz, G-Sync, IPS, Glossy bezels) with horrible QC @699.99

 

Dell S2716DG (1440P, 144Hz, G-Sync, Matte black thin bezels) with great QC @599.99

 

Also is IPS worth it for gaming and some video editing on the side? Is the whole hassle of getting a panel with minimum backlight bleed wort it?

 

Edit: I will be buying 2 monitors, so, well, I have twice the chance of getting a bad panel... 

IPS is worth it, however due to the PG279Q and XB270HU using AU Optronics panels (ACER) they have awful QC on them, with results in large backlight bleed and IPS glow. I would get the Dell S2716DG or ASUS PG278Q

Do not by the ACER Predator X34 or XB270HU, as they have many problems.

What's better corsair or kraken aios? Must be 280mm

Thanks

Corsair has the new H115i coming out soon (280mm) so you might want to wait for that cooler, I think it has a thicker radiator than the H110i GTX

Get the acer xb270HU

Great joke

Hello everyone! I'm looking for some advice.

 

I'm looking at these monitors, because the ROG line has always gotten a lot of credit. In particular, I'm looking at the 4K model, because I love games that look really good and I have always felt that resolution is the major factor when it comes to detail in games. I don't need more than 60Hz, because I rarely play FPS games that really benefit from that. I usually play games like Arma, Battlefield, MMO's, League, ... I don't play games like COD or CSGO. 

 

In fact, I have been waiting for this model (27aq), since Linus released

during CES 2015. I feel like it has all the things I want:

4K, IPS, GSYNC and a nice design with slim bezels. No joke, I have googled that model number hundreds of times during the past year.

 

However, I have seen a lot of negative reviews on the 279q, in total contrast to

.

Since these 2 monitors are like brothers, and I have not yet seen a proper review on the 27aq, I'm not sure what to do... Is it just how it's always unsatisfied customers feeling the need to vent their (just) frustrations, or is there really something wrong with the production of these monitors?

 

I have stated above what I'm looking for in my next monitor, and I don't want to pay €899 for something that isn't exactly that.

What are you thoughts on this?

 

Sincerely,

 

PS. I live in Belgium, hence German Amazon links.

Well Battlefield will be good for high refresh rate monitors. However due to the PG279Q using the AU Optronics panel (ACER) you should choose the ASUS PG27AQ, if you really do not want above 60hz

More than four cores is useless for gaming. If you want to base this on one game, be my guest. LOL

Many games use more than 4 cores, however Ashes is more demanding on the CPU, so it uses a lot more cores.

The UK has it in stock

Why the hell do you expect that? Different panel, different electronics; they have literally nothing in common. With your lack of knowledge or even common sense you should just not post.

It was a joke

4 were opened, 4 suffered from the same issues which were returned, just so you know. It's not in that thread where he mentions the issues he had with which I believe was scanline issues plaguing all 4 of the 279Q.

 

And as above speculating about the 165 Hz due to brand bias over one panel, assuming is something you shouldn't do if you have no hands-on experience with any of these panels, that's like saying it's LG's fault for the X34 issues. Either way, the PG279Q and XB271HU are direct competitors and the 271HU is the better purchase, which you have even admitted more than once now.

 

As far as looking at other ASUS products, I like ASUS, I was also one of the early purchasers of the VG248QE and have nothing but good to say about it all things considered with it being TN. The difference between us though, is that I am not biased towards one brand or the other, I prefer to look at the variables relating to customer experience, quality control, and customer service. ASUS has failed all 3 with both 278/279 whereas Acer has failed 2 of those with the 270 and currently passes all 3 with the 271. I'm not biased towards Acer, I just recognize that at this current time the 271HU is the better buy over the 279Q, that's all. There's really nothing more to it, and blaming Acer for owning a display division is kind of petty. Perhaps they should develop their own panels or buy a company

How about you start comparing panels not made by AU Optronics, they should stop making panels, as AU Optronics has awful QC and they are the reason all these monitors have problems. I think LG should take over and start making them.

If you look at monitors not made by AU Optronics you will notice ASUS monitors are good

Also comparing the ASUS PG279Q and XB271HU is not really possible, as they are different panels and AU Optronics (ACER) made them, so they could have used the cherry picked panels, this could be why they are different panels.

Explain?

Well ACER QC is awful, which is why the ACER Predator X34 has so many issues, one of the issues is not getting to 100hz, so I expect the XH 1440p monitor has the same problem with 165hz

http://www.overclock.net/t/1554247/build-log-vegas-2015-chromed-copper-tube-gaming-system/160

The Acer can be OC to 165 thought the OCD menu tho

You mean 155hz, as it is an ACER monitor

Acer has better quality control, the XB271HU also has a better panel retention method over the ASUS PG279Q, which has led to less panel issues (Look up CallsignVega, someone who has far more intellect on this topic than any of us posting here now). Acer learned from mistakes when entering the segment, ASUS has failed a 2nd time despite creating a very pleasing looking monitor.

 

Blame what or who you want, but it falls back to the purchase of either Acer or ASUS, and Acer has better QC. I've pointed this out before though, IMO the ASUS design is a bit nicer on the eyes.

 

Also, because this misinformation is kinda getting out of hand, BOTH Acer and ASUS offer the SAME 3 year warranty, and Acer's treatment of owners of these panels has been far far far better than ASUS allowing numerous returns directly to their Texas facility until customer gets a panel they are happy with, this includes next day shipping on their part.

The XB271HU might be better because ACER got cherry picked panels, as AU Optronics (ACER) make them so they can select the best ones (out of the awful panels, which is most of them) why would ACER give ASUS the best panels.

ACER has a two year warranty in the UK, however ASUS has a three year warranty

There are a lot of people on Overclock.net and the ACER forums saying that ACER support was awful

 

I have been looking for a specific monitor to fit my needs. 144hz, IPS, below 5ms response time with g-sync at 1440p and found 2 options. The Asus ROG Swift Pg270Q or the 

Acer Predator XB271HU. Both have the same specs. Both also have complaints about Backlight bleed, IPS glow, and (not as often) dead pixels. I have no idea what to buy since everyone is getting these problems. If anyone could give suggestions on why one is better than the other I am completely open.

 

I would get the ASUS PG279Q, longer warranty and better QC. However the panels were made by AU Optronics (ACER) and they have awful QC, that is why some of the ASUS PG279Q (including ACER versions) monitors have a large amount of backlight bleed and IPS glow.

Seems it is not 100hz, as Anandtech said nothing about it

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9923/dell-demonstrates-30inch-4k-oled-display

It seems that it might be different from the ACER Predator X34, as the ASUS version might do 100hz out of the box and not the "up to" 100hz on the ACER Predator X34, where many people did not get 100hz on it.

Damn that's insane. Good job Dell. Now make it 21:9, Adaptive Sync and not the cost of a black market kidney.

I would like to know how they have due this, due to being impossible with DP 1.2 (could have used Dual DP 1.2) I will ask them now.

Can I ask, why are we only comparing the 270HU/271HU, when they both have bad QC. All AU Optronics panels have terrible QC on them. Dell has made the 1440p TN 144hz Gsync monitor.

It seems the ASUS PG348Q might do 100hz out of the box now, according to PCper, even if it does not, it should be much better than the ACER Predator X34 (due to all the issues with ACER QC)

Yes, far better QC than ASUS can offer(bringing up the XB270 that I already mentioned that Acer fixed? The 278Q did worse and still gets returns, the 279Q is in that same hot water, ASUS looks weak right now in the Gsync/144(165)/1440p segment), simply fact. I already explained initial release alongside Acer fixing their issues and the 271HU showing far superior QC than the 279Q, you may be an ASUS fanboy that relies on twisting truth, but when people can look it up for themselves you just look silly. Why do you keep relating AU Optronics to Acer? This isn't 2001, you can chill with the conspiracy theories. I'm sorry your favorite brand can't fix their products but Acer can.

Why is it so hard to see that Acer went from budget crap to ruling the nest currently. Like I said though, I prefer ASUS design, and HOPEFULLY they fix the horrible qc issues that their 279Q has to put it more on par with the 271HU.

As for X34, yes, it's well known to have issues, back to playing that wonderful panel lottery. Even though Acer may be doing better than ASUS, does not make them immune to bad panels for either monitor, you will be playing a panel lottery with Acer as well, no matter the panel you choose to go with.

We do not know if the ACER Predator X34 issues are down to the panel, as ACER managed to fix two of the issues, so that just shows you how bad ACER QC is, also the 271HU has more "cherry picked" panels in it, as AU Optronics (ACER) made them, therefore why would they give the best panels to ASUS. AU Optronics is ACER, you might want to look it up, the 270HU has not been fixed, might want to look on Overclock.net, many people are reporting that they still have problems.

ACER ruling the nest, is that a joke?

If anyone it would be LG, Dell or Samsung. ACER is at the bottom, due to all the QC problems.

Will be a panel lottery for both, but as history has shown, ASUS doesn't tend to do much in regards to changing their QC, so Acer would be your best bet either now or waiting for better QC from them in the future. That said, if you have the money, is there somewhere local it can be purchased perhaps? Somewhere with a good return policy for either the Acer or the ASUS.

ACER has better QC, what are you on about, ACER are on of the worst monitor companies. You seen how bad the XH 1440p monitor was, it had so many returns. You know how many issues the ACER Predator X34 has, about 6 issues. It has had 2 recalls.

The ASUS PG279Q has a large amount of backlight bleed and IPS glow due to AU Optronics (ACER) awful QC on the panels.

Can you please change something in this topic, so many people are now thinking this monitor is 4K OLED 120hz

You can do what you want to do with a Facebook account. Just respect the ToS , or do your thing and mention it's a fake account somewhere.

I mean business

Facebook businesses I mean

Hello

I would like to make a fake business, just for personal use. Not selling anything or putting anything on it. So I can use it as a link for my assignment. Is this against the law to do?

It will have no content on it and I will even say that it is not a real business

I am guessing it is, however I wanted to check

Thanks

I'll keep an eye for it, but if I already passed it I won't be comming back

That is fine, thanks

I haven't seen Asus in the South halls or the central one Are you sure they have a stand ?

Yeah, they are showing off the ASUS PG348Q some where, there was a video of an ASUS desktop system and the ASUS PG348Q was next to it
