Acer Predator XB283K KVbmiipruzx 28 UHD 3840 x 2160 Agile-Splendor IPS PC & Console Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium/G-SYNC Compatible | 144Hz | 1ms | 1xUSB Type-C, 1xDP 1.4, 2xHDMI 2.1 & 4xUSB

This is quite honestly, a Perfect monitor. I wanted a 4k, high refresh rate (120+), and this is what I had found. 4k, 144hz with HDR 400. It did take a little tweaking with the HDR settings and other settings to get a picture that is truly impressive, but surely enough it is there. If you have a decent beast of a PC, this monitor will take full advantage. And after I got it set properly it is such a beauty to behold. Games look so beautiful and smooth. Also, this was very easy to mount on a dual Vesa Mount. Although I nearly didnt mount it because the built in base is very impressive! Very sturdy and very adjustable. All said and done, 5 star monitor all around. Picture, Refresh Rate, Build Quality, HDR, Settings, Adjustability and Function. All 5 star.

To begin, I got two of these monitors along with my Asus Pg279q (144hz ips gsync). For anyone trying to pair up their Asus monitor with the same specs to this monitor, dont do it. I expected the colors to be off slightly, but Its almost impossible to get them calibrated almost exactly the same. Now on to the review for the more sane people (or at least the people not willing to spend nearly 2k on monitors. To simply this review, Im going to make a list of pros and cons (I would like to note that I waited a month to review so that I can accurately review these monitors, especially their quality control). Pros: -Both monitors have amazing displays with high refresh rates that are great for gaming -Both of the purchased monitors have very little issues (minor back light bleed on both, but not nearly as bad as they originally were. Maybe I got lucky but my Asus has VERY major back light bleed). -USB ports on the side of the monitor for... something -Controls for calibrating screen and such are extremely easy to use (especially when compared to the hideous acer x34 controls) -Bezel is quite small (cant really notice it, even with triple monitors) Cons: -Still a slight bit of backlight bleed (not bad, sort of a nitpick) -Not assembled out of the box like the Asus equivalent (again, a nitpick but Im really struggling to find cons for this thing) -Price is still a bit high considering how old -Stand is quite large (I would definitely recommend vesa mount if you have a smaller desk) Overall, I would say this is one of the best monitors you can buy right now. Although there were a few issues when the monitor was first released, it seems that those issues are now either fixed or at the very minimum, less common. If youre in the market for a monitor like this and are on the verge of buying it, I would definitely say to buy it.

This monitor is a great upgrade from my previous 1080 60hz Westinghouse. There are a few downsides I came across though. One being, the display port is short, I recommend buying another longer one somewhere. Another issue with the included display port, the head/connector plastic pieces are vertically large, so with a PC with a slightly obstructed connector path, itll be a huge issue. The last being sound, of course its not a TV, so the built-in sound is albeit lacking. I suggest a good pair of speakers or just use headphones. Other then that, its a pretty good monitor.

Picture quality is amazing once you get it set up to your liking

Este monitor tiene una buena imagen, buenos colores, eso sí, un poco bajo el brillo. La configuración es sencilla. El audio es decente, nada del otro mundo.

5/23/16 Update: The replacement monitor arrived today and Ive swapped the panels out. This new one (manufacture date Nov 2015) is - so far - perfect. No dead pixels, no yellow color back-light bleed on the corners, and oddly seems as though it performs better than the other one (I was starting to have spotty G-sync performance, but that could also easily be my aging video card - time will tell). Ive also managed to balance out the colors between the two monitors, and theyre just about identical now. Its still not as bright and pure white the Asus display, and theres still a slight off-white balance to the monitor overall, but its much, much closer than it was before. Even so, the color performance is absolutely fantastic now, and Im very happy about that. Upping the review score to 4* to reflect what this panel should have been since the very start. The replacement is the monitor I expected for my money, and I cant wait to pair it up to a GTX 1080. ********************* 5/21/16: Just got my first monitor (manufacture date Oct 2015) and Im already a member of the lottery. Dust behind the display creating a curved black line thats a good 10 pixels long, and two dead pixels in the center top of the screen. Picture quality wise, all the resolution and clarity that I would expect is there. The G-Sync works perfectly, and games look fantastic. My only real gripe is that the monitor doesnt really do pure white. Theres an overall off-white, kind of reddish or yellowish tint to the overall picture that Im struggling with right now. I also have an Asus PB278Q 2K monitor, and the difference in the white balance between the two is exceptionally noticeable, with the Asus being brighter, whiter and overall seemingly more color accurate than the Predator. I was hoping that the $800 price tag and IPS display would really knock my socks off, but so far it really hasnt. Ill have to see how well it performs under different gaming environments, and see whether the replacement monitor has any issues with dead pixels, screen abnormalities or the dreaded yellow black-light bleed.

Everything about the monitor does a really good job on alot of things, but unless Im wrong about this. The biggest drawback is that it cannot display 120hz/fps via hdmi 2.1 for PS5, which was the real reason why I wanted a gaming monitor is to display games at 120 fps on my PS5. The fps counter may say it shows 120 fps, but idk if it is really displaying it, or I need a ultra high speed hdmi 2.1 48 gbps cable that that can really allow the monitor to display supported game at required resolution even with the PS5 console settings set to performancemode. Aside from that, it does not have ALLM mode, which is what I prefer to have, but I didnt learn about it till after I got the monitor. Other than that, nothing else wrong with it.

Bought this after reading tons of reviews. The 4k 28 144hz field has about 4 different brands all using the same panel so just go with whatever is the cheapest, got mine for 500 but I bet 450 is coming soon. Gotta turn on the max birghtness option under settings though. Monitor is way too dark unless you

This monitor has amazing colors, clarity, response/frame rate. Its fantastic and a huge edge in gaming! The only issues are where the higher up executives got involved with the dumb RGB lighting design. The higher up out of touch executives must have told the engineers: it has to have RBG lighting. The engineers: okay? but where do we put the lights? Executives: it has to be visible. Put the lights on the chin of the monitor facing the user so they can see them Engineer: You sure it wouldnt look better if they were on the back and gave a glowing reflexed effect off the wall? Executive: no they have to be right in front of you facing your face so everyone knows its RGB. Engineer: ...Okay youre the boss. Acer, if youre gonna have RGB on your monitors dont shine the lights right in my face. This chin lighting bar is such poor taste and looks really bulky and ugly, and I wont be using it. Also stop putting built in speakers into your gaming monitors. gamers dont use them. You guys were so close to making a perfect monitor but you got lost in the sauce.

I have had this monitor for 4+ weeks now. This is my initial pre-calibration review. I am getting an an X-Rite i1 Display Pro soon and after Ive gotten through the learning curve and calibrated it myself, Ill post a followup.(SEE END FOR FOLLOW-UP) I bought the XB271HU after patiently reading every monitor review for the past years or so. I have a GTX 1080 TI and have been running it on a Dell U2415 at 60Hz since the spring. I wanted a very good monitor that could work well for desktop and gaming since my machine is heavily used for both. I had been wanting a GSYNC IPS or VA 2560x1440 monitor in the 30-32 range so the desktop DPI issue didnt become an issue but there are are none as of the moment. This monitor was one of the most highly reviewed 27 so I decided to throw caution to the wind and give it a try. After 4 weeks, here is my pro/con list: If you have read the reviews, none of these are a surprise. Pros: - Excellent gsync monitor - 144/165Hz makes gaming fluid even with gsync off running a GTX 1080 TI - Love the light anti glare coating - Lots of screen real estate Cons: - UI is difficult to maneuver - Out of the box: Colors are washed out. Whites are dull. Blacks are grey-ish. Blacks are crushed - Yellowish tint obvious even when using commonly available ICC profiles from various review sites - For desktop use, its not nearly as nice as a quality desktop monitor but absolutely awesome as a gaming monitor The DPI of this monitor causes me eyestrain and Windows 10 scaling (even with the creators update) helps but does not make it good -- But thats not the monitors fault. The real estate is nice but I have to strain a little to see the small stuff. What is poor are the colors. I have tried a number of ICC profiles from review sites and none of them have resulted in what I would say are decent colors. Shadows are crushed to black and much detail is lost. Whites are not crisp. Well see how this all fairs after I calibrate it myself. So all in all, I it still earns a 5 because it is a gaming monitor and gaming at 144/165 fps is very pleasing. The DPI scaling doesnt present any problems with the games I play. Gaming with gsync and/or are high refresh rates is, as they say ,buttery smooth when you have your games tweaked for a 144/165 fps cap to match the monitor. --------------------------------------- EDIT 12/31/17 Follow-Up I received my X-rite i1 display pro and spent several days learning how to use it with the DisplayCal software. After calibration, the picture significantly improved. I calibrated to 6500k, 140 nit (my preferred brightness level). Whites are much whiter now. Colors improved and blacks and shadow detail got much better. My black level comes in at .16 and black crush in several of my games disappeared. Contrast level is still a bit anemic at 880:1 ---------------------------------------
