Acer Predator Confusion

Hey guys! So i was just looking at G-Sync panels and i was wondering. Whats the difference between these two panels?

 

All i can see is that there is two different contrast ratios, and the cheaper one has a swivel and extra inputs. Which leads me to be highly confused.

 

Why in the hell would the cheaper panel have a higher contrast ratio and more features compared to the more expensive version?

Contrast ratio isn't everything (though the monitors here are pretty similar), also if you look at the amazon links, the "cheaper" one actually had a higher base price.

They're both the same model version. Just the middle one has the same as the low end but with more specs.

 

I honestly don't understand the price difference for the 1080's to the 4K. I think imma get the base XBH model and not the XBHb.

 

Seems to have higher contrast, speakers etc. Still confused but yeah, looks like im spending £50 less :)

Pretty sure Acer is just completely messing up, since the better one is on a higher sale, but the link to the Acer store on that leads to this : http://www.acerdirect.co.uk/Acer_27_100M_1_ACM_LED_DVI_HDMIMHL_Displayport_MM_USB_Height_adj._Pivot__B_UM.HB0EE.005/version.asp

Which is 1080p on the specifications, but it claims 1440p on the overview.

1440p or 1080p, it's an awesome monitor for the price xD

Turn's out the normal H model does not infact support G-Sync, the Hb and Ha models do.
