Acer Predator XB1 1440p IPS Display

[Classified101]

Hi guys! I was planning to buy the Acer Predator XB271HU but I came across two different types of listings. One had the word 'bmiprz' next to the model number and the other one didn't. But, besides that, everything was the same, like IPS panel, 144 Hz refresh rate, 1440p resolution, etc. 

So, is there any difference between the two? Is the 'bmiprz' one a newer revision of the same model?

The model numbers are both the same, so I would assume that both monitors are the same, especially since the specs are the same.

No but look out that the Acer Predator XB271HU has a TN and an IPS variant. If one is much cheaper than the other on the webshops, it's probably the TN part.

The BMIPRZ is IPS, costs 699$ on Amazon. The cheaper option ABMIPRZ is a TN panel. That's the only difference between both variants. I bought the IPS one myself almost a year ago, best gaming monitor out there IMO, but i have to warn you, quality control is not the best so you might end up with a monitor with a couple of dead pixels. They are almost impossible to notice, but still not cool for a 700$ product. No regrets though.
