Acer XB271HU: 27-inch 1440p 144Hz IPS G-SYNC Monitor

Okay so i just found out about this monitor and it looks amazing, there hasnt been a perfect monitor for me that is both g-sync 1440p 27 inch 144hz and ips with an ok response time. THIS IS IT , i feel like this was made just for me xD its just the best gaming and working monitor ever, atleast it looks that way, its very new and isnt even out yet but that price tag is HUGE

I think you may be talking about the first generation bobo, the XB270HU. The 271 isn't out yet :P

The new version is quite nice. However, I just picked up a 270 to accompany my X34. I don't feel the 271 justifies a $100+ dollar price increase for a slightly smaller bezel and 21 extra hz. With either the 270 or 271, you're getting a great monitor for sure.

Yea, the 271 is 165Hz too instead of 144.

This is the first time i have seen a monitor hit all the right spots, a high refresh rate an ok response time a nice 27 inch display ips panel and G-Sync ! I dont think another monitor just like that exists , or if it does it would have some other issue to it like a tn panel , backlight bleed or its ultrawide ( i know many people like tn panels and ultra wides but it just isnt my thing )

No I hear that. I couldn't decide for the life of me between 4k, ultrawide, or 144. I have the machine to run anything but I think 4k is a bit limiting. So figured I'd try out ultrawide and 144.

The 271 will be a great monitor. Can't go wrong with that one. I'd say wait for the release and for TFT Central to put out their review on it. They're quite thorough. There is also its counterpart, the Asus PG279Q. Similar specs if you want a different look. Of course the zero bezel on the 271 is nice.

I would avoid 4k as of now, it has more downsides than benefits, atleast thats the way i see it.
