> 24 hourMy only negative about it is that I didn’t get it sooner. More than satisfied after several months of use. After being on 1080p my entire life I decided to upgrade to a huge 4k resolution for gaming and movie streaming. Absolutely worth it the color is fantastic and images super clear.

> 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 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 hourAcer has always been key when gaming. I have nothing bad to say about this monitor. I have it on a vesa mount currently. There are 4 USB 3.0 ports on it which was a surprise because not many monitors these days have them. The color is great and even has a blue disabler in the menu to save your eyes in the long run. I have it overclocked at 165Hz currently. Worth every penny.

> 24 hourThis is my 1st gaming monitor, and I have been a resolution snob where I prefer fidelity over refresh rate. This monitor has single-handedly changed that mentality. Playing games with this 144hz IPS panel is game-changing, and I can no longer go back to 60hz. Visual fidelity is still my preference, but I am now willing to compromise some graphic settings to obtain higher FPS. I have a few gripes with this monitor, but they are minor. My first gripe is that it weighs a reasonable amount. My old monitor arm could not support this beast, and it kept sagging. I am looking at replacing the component to handle this 22lb beast, hopefully. My 2nd issue is that this monitor is only rated for HDR400, which barely even hits the HDR certification. If you are looking for a high-quality HDR monitor, this is not a good choice. My last gripe is that it is priced pretty high for these features but, I was in dire need of a 4k 144hz monitor with HDMI 2.1/DP1.4, and this monitor met most of my requirements.

> 24 hourBrought the XB283K to upgrade from my older Dell S2721DGF 1440 p panel. The Dell was great but I wanted a fast 4k panel. This Predator model checked off everything I had wanted. Easy to setup and looks great. The picture did seem dull at first but I fixed it by enabling HDR then turning it back off. Not sure why that happened but I confirmed with Predator support that my solution is the fox and it’s common upon first use. Now the colors pop and I’m really only using the standard picture settings with nothing turned up brightness wise. Every game has run smoothly thus far and looks better than my old Dell. Great monitor at its current price point. For reference I also ordered a Ggiabyte M28U from another retailer and it’s similar but the Predator is brighter and built better. Highly recommend this monitor. Edit: 3/27/2023. I am returning this monitor as after turning off after 1hr of usage it is practically unusable. The only color setting that even looks good is the HDR setting. Every other option looks 100% identical no matter what you tweak . I cannot justify keeping a monitor that I am forced to only use one setting. Checked a few YouTube reviews on the monitor and noticed others claiming the same problem. Not sure how this even got by Acer quality control which is odd as it comes with a sheet of paper showing it was measured for color accuracy before sending. There is simply no way anybody could have passed this off as being acceptable. I also bought a Gigabyte M28U from another retailer and while the Acer was brighter with HDR on, the Gigabyte works on all settings .

> 24 hourIve been using two 24 Asus TN monitors for the last couple of years. While they have been sufficient for my tasks, I wanted to upgrade to an IPS panel. After reading many reviews and watching countless youtube videos regarding the build quality and back light bleed, I was very very apprehensive about making this purchase. Boy do I feel foolish as this monitor is beautiful. The back light bleed (blb) is a non-issue. There is an ever so slight glow in the top right corner, but that is it. My room has to be pitch dark to even pick it up. I wanted to comment on that issue in case there are any others out there who are considering this monitor and are worried about the blb. Im sure I had some luck involved in getting a good panel, but Im very satisfied. Seemingly much like the rest of the community that is in the market for this monitor, I also found myself looking at the MG279q from Asus. They have the same panel. Obviously, I decided on the Acer version. Tbh the only reason I decided to purchase the Acer was because of the price difference. I like the look of the MG279q from Asus more, but I just couldnt justify the price difference. The experience on this monitor so far has been top notch. There is a obvious improvement in the screen resolution and color rendering. The blacks are more black, the screen is more clear, and images just seem to pop. Going from a 1 ms TN panel to a 4 ms IPS is not noticeable. I play Apex and Destiny 2 and the experience has been wonderful so far. The games look so much better on the IPS display. Set-up took less than a minute with assembling the stand and fixing it to the monitor. In summary, if you are considering this monitor and have the money, dont hesitate. If you get a bad panel, Im sure Amazons FANTASTIC return policy will work out for you.

> 24 hour10/10 ! I want to start by saying this is not my first monitor. Ive always been into high end panels even before I began PC gaming I always did extensive research and would buy a TV with the best picture quality possible. That being said this monitor is absolutely incredible as far as -Picture Quality -165hz -GSync -Build Quality -Screen Size -Color Accuracy -Panel Brightness -Onboard Features -PQ The Picture Qaulity is incredible. The IPS Display speaks for itself the second you turn it on. Its so bright, vivid, accurate, and dark all at the same time. The viewing angles are nuts, you can view the screen from literally any angle without distorting the picture or losing color unlike with TN panels. This is Extremely noticable and makes you realize how much more solid the IPS display is. My TN panel which does still look nice next to my screen almost looks like its water damaged or something compared to the IPS (I know theyre totally different resoluterions ones 2k and ones 1080p but Im just speaking on brightness and color) This review is based completly on out of the box settings (and theyre great). -G-Sync makes things buttery smooth if your running one of Nvidias newer cards. None of my previous monitors took advantage of this tech but it without a doubt is noticeable and when frames drop to 80fps for example it still feels like 165. I built my gaming PC about 6 months ago, I started with a 28 4k samsung monitor (TN panel) 60hz but I could OC to 71hz. I also purchased an Asus 144hz 1080p Gaming monitor also a TN panel. So here I was stuck between playing / using my computer in 4k and being restricted to 60-71hz or I could play in 144hz but I was restricted to 1080P. What I found was 1440P is the absolute sweet spot right now. I have the absolute most powerful gaming rig possible (Intel 6700k Skylake with 2 x GTX 1080s running in SLI) (its possible to spend more money but I dont know if its possible to get more FPS then my rig is putting out) with that being said Id love to live in a world right now where we could game in 4k and get 100+ FPS in all games. In some gamers its possible to get over 100FPS in 4k but no monitor can display this, I believe the fastest 4k monitor on the market right now is only over clockable to 85hz. Also if you play competitive FPS or certain steam games that are un-optimized such as Rust and H1Z1 KOTK, on these games its impossible to get decent FPS (70+ in 4k) but in 1440 you can easily get 100+ depending on your rig. So this monitor is absolutely perfect when it comes to getting the most FPS possible right now as well as getting absolute killer PQ, Color Accuracy, Black Levels, Brightness, Etc. The list goes on. I was debating if a $700+ monitor would be worth it, would G Sync make a diff, should I just get a vive a stick with my current monitors, and I can say with absolute certainty that I am happy with my purchase, I would do it again, I may still get the Vive lol but Im just saying if this monitor didnt substantially improve my setup I would be returning it and Im keeping it without a doubt. I now use this monitor paired with my 1080p Asus tilted 180* in Portrait mode next to it so I can view certain things and have a second monitor while playing games without taking up too much desk real-estate. This is by far the best upgrade Ive made to my computer yet.

> 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!
