Going into this review, we had some unreasonably high expectations. Previous Acer Predator gaming monitors which graced our lab never let us down and each brought something new and unique to the table. Be it the crazy fast 200Hz Z35, massive X34, the pion...

Abstract: There is a type of monitor that does not cost much more than a standard model but does offer much more work space. Experts know about it, but because they don't have a very recognisable name, they are often missed by those looking for a new, affordable di...

Wellsaturated color, outofbox accuracy, GSync, Ultra HD resolution, good viewing angles, build quality
Expensive
The XB271HK requires a $200 premium over the XB280HK but in the bargain you get a fantastic AHVA panel with superior image quality and viewing angles. We think it's worth the extra money and should be on every well-funded gamer's short list. £616.2...
Great desktop image quality, GSync module works fantastically well, Plenty of useful features in onscreen menu
Displays with 4K refresh rates above 60Hz may be on their way this year, Slightly low recorded brightness, The combination of GSync and 4K bumps the pricing of a display considerably.
The Acer Predator XB271HK is superb. Acer's second crack at a 4K G-Sync display hits the target, bang on the mark.Most importantly, the picture quality is spot on. In use it's razor sharp, the viewing angles are excellent, as it's an IPS panel, the colour...
Superb overall image quality, G-Sync eliminates tearing and stutter, 165Hz IPS panel is fantastic for gaming, Good design and build quality

Good default setup and strong all-round performance from IPS-type panel, Very good response times for a 60Hz IPS panel and low lag, G-sync support really helps with system demands of the Ultra HD resolution
IPS glow may be off-putting to some users, Limited connectivity due to G-sync addition,
The Acer XB271HK delivered a strong all round performance thanks to its IPS-type panel. One of the key selling points is the Ultra HD resolution of this panel, and that really helped deliver a sharp and crisp image thanks to its high PPI. The addition of...

The Acer Predator XB271HU pairs well with GeForce-based rigs, where you can employ G-Sync for smooth gameplay. The biggest drawback to an IPS panel like this is its 4ms response time, but I'd happily take it over a TN panel just for the wider viewing angl...
