Acer – Predator XB273U GSbmiiprzx 27″ WQHD IPS Monitor with G-SYNC Gaming Monitor (1 x Display Port & 2 x HDMI Ports)

I experienced ghosting within 15 days and it continually got worse, to the point where the image would stay onscreen for 10 plus minutes! For the price I wouldn’t recommend. Just glad that I bought this off of Bestbuy since their return policy is nothing short of amazing compared to amazon and all these other sellers.

I purchased two of this monitor and pair with my other 1 monitor has the same size 1440p. Its really nice when you play a racing game as well in multi tasking stuff. Its perfect on my needs.

I got a new PC with a new GeForce RTX card wanted to update my old Asus 24″ LCD with a gaming monitor. This monitor fit all the criteria I was looking for, 27″, IPS, high refresh rate, G-Sync, built in speakers. Works great with my setup, games look fantastic and when I switch to work I have so much space to fit spreadsheets, email, SAP, Teams, and such. Monitor is bright, colors pop, and the RGB on the front is cool to watch. Speakers are not very loud, but hey, it has speakers! I use gaming headphones anyway most of the time. I measured it in store and was happy to find it fit in the monitor cubby on my computer desk, which was only 18.5″ tall. It fit in with 2″ to spare! Monitor frame and stand look great. I love having the USB ports on the side of the monitor, I can charge my devices while I work or play. G-Sync was enabled with the RTX-3060 on the monitor and in Nvidia settings. The OSD is easy to use and there is also an app you can download to change monitor setting in Windows. Set-up is simple and quick right out of the box, no tools required to attach the stand. Very happy with this monitor, no dead pixels or weird screen issues at all. 27″ size seems huge compared to the 24″ monitor I had before. I would recommend this easily to anyone looking for a great gaming monitor that is also fit for office work.

My Acer X270HU died this week. It was a flagship WQHD monitor from Acer that was about five years old. I was hesitant to purchase another Acer, but stumbled onto this and it checked all my boxes. GSync, IPS, 1440p, 144hz+ (165), and 27”.
I was concerned that this panel doesn’t have a true GSync chip but I’d gsync compatible. However, using DP 1.4 GSync performs flawlessly in my experience with it.
There are also things that I consider to be an upgrade to my beloved X270HU. The top and side bezels are much thinner, the refresh goes higher (more headroom for a better gpu to drive more frames), color gamut seems more full (it really looks great.
It does support HDR400 but I found that this isn’t sufficient enough to be worthwhile, with it enabled things tend to looked washed out rather than more dynamic between colors/light and dark.
There’s also an addressable RGB strip in the bottom bezel. Some folks will dig this, it’s not distracting during gameplay, but also seems unnecessary.
Finally, the price. My X270 was 800.00 when new in 2015 and this panel checked out at just over half that. Considering it’s been a more than just replacement I consider that to be a big win.
There ARE better panels out there, but that doesn’t take away from this one being a great contender at its price point, feature set, and performance level.
