> 24 hourBought 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

> 24 hourI bought this monitor in early 2020. I ended up buying two monitors, they were both perfect. Image quality is awesome and for 27 they are amazing. If you want to game with them, there are a few great features for showing FPS, boosting refresh rate to 165hz, and for having a crosshair on your view, if you want it. It definitely takes tweaking some settings here and there to make it the best experience but if you combine it with nvidia settings then it works great. The only downsides are that sometimes sound goes away, this has to do with a DP setting, which i dont entirely understand but once you troubleshoot it youll be able to resolve it at any point moving forward. Its as simple as going into settings and turning this off. Its a dumb hassle but it should be fine. The next issue is that SOMETIMES you get a very odd line down the middle of the screen. This has happened to me like 5 times out of the last 100 in gaming. Im still not sure what the specific issue is here but if you exit the game youre playing (only happens in games) then go back in, youll be fine. I havent noticed it in the last 3 months since i changed my settings so thats been awesome. I have since left my monitor in overclock mode even when not gaming, which might be bad a year from now but has been great for the last 3-4 months. Good Luck and Enjoy!

> 24 hourI had an Acer display once and it was terrible. The quality, the brand identity was not there at all, but this was long ago. Now high frame rate gaming has come to play and Acer seems to be one of the reliable choices on the market (due to its close relationship with Nvidia I suppose). Anyway Id looked into pretty much everything on the market before I bought this. I wish I could go for the dream setup 4K + 144+hz but I think its a little early for that if you dont have so much to spare. 1440p 144hz ips is suffice to get a decent gaming experience with a quality panel which is usually used for displaying more accurate colors than other panel variants . -Overall Design Predator logotype on monitor may please some gaming enthusiasts but as a designer I know it could be better .The red outline (the glow effect) perhaps a little too much but overall its slick design can easily match with Dells manufacturing quality at least for the visible part. The stand has the same red accent color on the tips of the feet and entire thing looks like phoenix persons foot. its quite sturdy and I modified it to use for another display, since Ive been using wall mount for Acer. The reason I had to modify the stand for another Vesa display is because the stands metal panel has two pieces sticking out for the original display to be latched on. Bending it with pliers was quite easy though and since it remains behind the monitor it doesnt need to be perfect. No dead pixels which is great, I cant begin to imagine the frustration to deal with that conversations and shipping back and forth if it had any. Luckily I had none. The menu buttons are okay, some say its not the best experience and I do agree but theyre fine, no issues so far. It comes with Gsync sticker on it though that must be optional. Picture quality, brightness, pixel density are well balanced for a gaming monitor, people who want more may consider other options to get 4k 144 or better which is available but quite an investment for a gamer-soul. -Performance Tested on COD Warzone with RTX 2060S and its so much better than my previous setup (60 hz ips 1080p + older GPU). I wonder whether its significantly better for people who have 120hz monitor because although I get 144 it drops down to 70-120 when I play full res. Lowering resolution does bring it back to higher frame rates for sure but playing 1080p on a 1440p display is just upsetting. That being said I think having constant 144hz is not an easy task if not impossible. Conclusion: Its an IPS 1440P 144hz monitor with full Gsync, so its a no brainer if you have the right hardware. There is not much on the market right now which can give you all of these options. .

> 24 hourI bought this monitor to run 120fps at 4k/1440p/1080p on ps5 and it works extremely well! It also works great on my Xbox One S. The quality is excellent and I would recommend to anyone looking for a well-priced monitor for their next gen console!

> 24 hourThis monitor is absolutely incredible! The 144hz refresh is a huge bump up for me. G-Sync is super smoother and works well with my 980. The games that Ive been able to play so far with super high frame rates is CS:GO, Killing Floor 2, Trackmania Turbo, and Assetto Corsa. All look great running at 144+fps. For Killing Floor 2 you have to enable variable frame rate otherwise youll be capped at 60. Pros: - Beautiful resolution - Smooth 144hz in games running at that frame rate - The stand is solid with height adjustment - Screen finish is nice (my previous monitor was glossy and I didnt like it) - Nice bezel; super thin and flat Cons: - Im not a fan of the stand feet red finish. I saw on some YouTube reviews that its a lot nicer in person, but its not really my style. Maybe itll grow on me. I will say that the color is a lot more muted that what is shown in the pictures online. - Price. Its a lot of money but I think its worth it. I bought a 4:3 Dell 2001fp about 15 years ago for the 1600x1200 resolution and it ended up costing me around $800. However it lasted me a very long time and if it werent for me wanting wide screen 3 years ago I would have still been using it. So while this is a lot of money today, you do get what you pay for and hopefully this will prove that over the next few years. Fingers crossed. Other: - Ive read a lot of reviews saying that the panel has tons of bleed. Mine didnt really have bleed. I could be picky and dwell on a little bit at the very bottom, but overall mine is a great panel with no dead pixels. - I also read and saw videos saying that the buttons were mushy. It didnt really feel that way to me, but maybe Im not used to firm buttons. - On screen menu system. Its really not great but its usable so Im hesitant about listing it as a con. Im rarely using the monitor menu system.

> 24 hourIve been using this as my primary monitor for just over 1 year now, and so far its been fantastic. If youre looking for the color clarity of an IPS panel with only 4ms response lag, then this monitor is a great choice. Perfect for anyone who does both gaming and video/editing. Pros: - IPS is excellent for photo/video editing. Colors are bright and crisp. -144hz refresh and 4ms response is excellent for gaming; butter smooth. - gsync is a plus, although the 144hz makes gsync almost unnecessary. - no dead pixels - thin screen bezel; about 6mm thick from outside edge of monitor to where the pixels start. - sturdy, heavy base with minimal shaking of the screen if I bump the desk. - easily adjustable screen positions, rotations. - the red colored feet on the base base are not as bright/loud as shown in the photo. I was afraid the color would be in-your-face red. Theyre not. Instead, its more of darker maroon color with a muted matte finish. Kinda classy. Hardly noticeable against my dark wood-grained desk. Cons: - $700 price tag can be expensive - built-in speaker sound quality is poor, but at least it has speakers if you dont already have your own. - on-screen display menu system is awkward and frustrating. Not a big concern unless you frequently use the menu to switch between display inputs, for example switching between your PC and gaming console. I took off 1/2 star for this. - rare screen glitch that causes a vertical tear down the center, as if a column of pixels are missing. This as only happened a few times over the past year (maybe 5-6 times), and thankfully its easily fixed by just turning the monitor off/on again. Minor issue but worth a mention. I took off 1/2 star for this as well. Regarding light bleed: I see a lot of 1-star reviews because of light bleed. Does this monitor have light bleed? Yes. Have I ever noticed it? Never. The only time I can see light bleed is if the room is 100% dark and the screen is 100% dark, which is generally when I first turn on the monitor before turning on the PC. As soon as theres any kind of pixel action on the screen, the bleed goes away. Watching dark movies or playing dark space space games, I dont notice anything at all. Would I recommend this monitor? Absolutely. Actually, I want another.

> 24 hourI love this monitor. It’s a huge upgrade from my last one (both picture quality and Hz). The only complaint I have is with the stand. I saw people in the reviews complaining about its size, but I thought they were just being dramatic. Trust me, this stand is huge lol. Though, at least you have the reassurance that it ain’t gonna be tipping over any time soon. I’d recommend it, but just make sure you’re not someone that sits too close to the monitor, because the stand will be pressing against your keyboard

> 24 hourEste 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.

> 24 hourTLDR: Chose this monitor over the Asus PG279Q because it was around $100 cheaper during time of purchase. Would recommend picking up whichever happens to be cheaper since these two monitors are basically identical except for aesthetics. Pros: 1440p offers exceptional clarity at 27 inches and is easier to drive than 4k even at 165Hz. For the record I am running this monitor with a 1080Ti. The IPS panel offers great color reproduction and the 4ms grey to grey time has not caused any issues for me whatsoever. There is some minor light bleed around the edges but in all honesty you would never notice it unless you purposely try to find it. The stand is of great quality with a heavy metal base and it even offers many options for changing the viewing angle/monitor orientation. G-Sync has really been a game changer for me, as an avid gamer (far from professional however) the smoothness that G-Sync provides is amazing with zero screen tearing or stuttering. Its impossible to describe what it feels like to use, you simply have to try it for yourself to understand. Input selection is a bit underwhelming with the two primary inputs being HDMI and DisplayPort, however that is to be expected with G-Sync. Note that DisplayPort must be used to run G-Sync! The USB pass through is a nice touch and is handy for charging phones/cameras and the like, or even to plug in a flash drive if your PC is not on top of the desk. Cons: Only one, the OSD is the most frustrating that I have ever come across hence only 4 stars. A joystick would have made navigation much easier. That being said once you get the hang of the menu it isnt the worst thing in the world and aside from initial setup you likely will not have to mess with it too often.

> 24 hourIf youre in need of a high refresh rate, 4K gaming monitor, consider this fine gem. After using it as my daily driver for almost a month as of this review, here are some of the goods and bads that Ive experienced with this monitor The Good - Perfect size-to-resolution ratio, giving you a nice and sharp image at 4K 144Hz - Has good color accuracy out of the box - Very good brightness - Its an IPS monitor, what more could you ask - Absolutely no ghosting The Bad - You have to enable a setting within the monitor to get max brightness - The screen turns off for a few seconds when you alt+tab out of a full screen application, but can be fixed - The USB ports on the monitor have to be activated within the software on the monitor - Has a rather large power brick compared to the other monitors I own So while there are some kinks that come with the monitor, it doesnt avoid the fact that for about $600, you can get yourself a 4K monitor at a high refresh rate, which some other monitor might cost $800 and up.
