Acer XB270HU bprz, BenQ XL2730Z or ASUS PG278Q ROG Swift

[t-scene]

I'm looking for a new monitor and currently have a GTX 970. I'm not against buying a AMD when card when the new ones come out, or buying another 970 later on .

Which monitor is generally better for gaming, netflix, youtube and the general everyday thing.

I'm leaning more toward the Benq because its cheaper and their other built in technology and just buy a AMD card later on.

I like the ideal of the Acer being IPS and that the Acer and Asus will work out of the box with my current card.

Swift

Idk why people say Swift when ACER is just as fast and IPS lol..

[kraxe_tk]

This comparison with Swift and Acer from TFT Central shows who is better.  http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/acer_xb270hu.htm How about the BenQ compared to the Acer XG270HU, if price is an issue.  BenQ $630, and Acer $500?

No love for BenQ?    Any word on the actual release date on the Acer?

omg in there it says that an ahva-ips (acer xg270hu) has no input lag, less than the TN swift!

Expected release date is 4/15 at $799 to major retailers. I would wait for this over the Swift.

 

Or if you want to wait a bit longer till summer Acer has a curved 3440x1440p 144Hz 34" G-sync ultra-wide coming out, the XR341CK. This is supposed to use the same panel as the XB270HU.

[vembutech]

I would suggest ASUS PG278Q ROG Swift

[robinkle]

I don't see why swift is better then XB270HU.
