I hate you so much,

I was wondering when someone would finally click that, especially since so many commented on it.

Wow, I'm actually interested in an Acer product..this is a weird feeling.

Acer has some kickass monitors, and some really sweet ultrabooks.

 

They are not the absolute bottom of the barrel shit laptop maker that they used to be.

I remember those laptops being so bad that I envied the surplus cheap Dell boxes found in public libraries. It takes a lot for a company to change their image and it seems Acer might be doing that for me now.

Well hold on here. Tom's lists the AHVA panel as a rumour. Please don't go around saying this is fact until we know for sure.

 

To be clear, this being an AHVA panel is speculation only until confirmed by AU Optronics and/or Acer.

AUO announced they had developed this exact panel in September (27" 2560x1440 144Hz AHVA) which matches exactly with this monitor. Acer has already advertised several AHVA displays as IPS since it is only a variant in the IPS category like any other (AH-IPS, E-IPS, etc.) and the IPS name is well-known at this point, so we already know that Acer does this. It is quite safe to say this is the panel being used.

Well with the Titan II and the R9 390X incoming, a pair of either of those should drive 1440p at 120+Hz on high settings easily, even if you can't get anti-aliassing and stay that high.

Fair enough.

 

There's like a 99% chance that the Acer monitor is using that panel, so I'll give you that :P

I've seen some color accuracy tests, AHVA indeed just performs as good as IPS. Hardware.info usually does very good monitor reviews, they turn calibration off and test if the monitor can reach a color temp of 6500K (which is considered to be the most ideal), a 1440p AHVA; http://be.hardware.info/reviews/5275/6/aoc-q2770pqu-a-benq-bl2710pt-review-wqhd-update-testresultaten-kleurtemperatuur-a-kleurechtheid

BenQ advertises AHVA as IPS as well; http://www.benq.com/product/monitor/bl2710pt/

They really are the same. AHVA and PLS are both IPS type panels. They have similar color accuracy and other performance characteristics, similar response times (up until now, apparently), and even suffer from IPS glow. This is honestly like calling an AH-IPS monitor "IPS". Nothing interesting going on here.

If you look at the Korean monitors, they can be overclocked upwards of 120hz. Mine goes to about 105-110 before artifacting.

I'm not sure what magic they used to get to 144, but hopefully it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

And all of a sudden I have decided what my next monitor will be.

Have you also decided that $1500 doesn't matter (idk, just guessing)

Too bad Samsung already announced a 180Hz PLS design with Freesync.

Too bad no one cares about freesync just like all the other shitty AMD technologies.

 

Edit: That like was a rick roll, nice.
