Acer XB271HU/ Similar Recommendations

WolfRamAlpha12 · June 4, 2018

Hi all,

So I bought the Dell S2417DG about a week ago. It was on sale for about 300 USD from Best Buy, and I thought QHD, G-Sync, 144Hz, sounds like a great deal, especially from a company like Dell. Only problem is, I've never had a TN panel. I did read quiet a few reviews before pulling the trigger, all said it had great colors, only a few issues with gamma levels, but can be corrected with some calibration. So I went ahead and purchased it. After setting it up, I noticed the color banding. Especially with darker colors. I had no idea TN panels did this. Calibration using the ICC profile helped somewhat, but I just can't ignore the artifacting. So I'll be returning it.

I'm now looking at the Acer XB271HU. The reviews seem mostly positive after initial kinks were ironed out in early batches. Any other recommendations around the same specs and price range would be appreciated.

Thanks!
