> 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 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.

> 24 hourAcer makes great monitors, and the XB283K is no exception. If you dont care about HDR, then this is a great option for a gaming monitor right now. The factory calibration is superb, the adaptive overdrive settings create an experience with minimal blur and ghosting, and obviously a 4K picture with variable refresh up to 144 Hz can look spectacular. The one downside to this monitor is that the HDR performance is, put simply, barely above nonexistent. Yes, the color gamut is wider, but the edge-lit local dimming solution is almost useless to improve contrast and the 400 nits peak brightness rating matches my experience (calibration after a few days of use showed a peak of around 420 nits). Since its an IPS panel the native contrast isnt anywhere close to good enough for a good HDR experience, and the peak brightness will not impress anyone. With new miniLED and OLED monitors hitting the market, its only a matter of time before $500 - $600 will start getting you a significantly better HDR experience (I was able to pick up a used Sony Inzone M9 for $500, for example). The Cooler Master Tempest GP27Q/U have already raised the bar for what can be expected in HDR from <$1000 monitors, and its only going to get better from here. If you can stand to wait a few more months, I think better options will start to become available at this price, and the price of this monitor and others like it will go down even further.

> 24 hourThe monitor has amazing price to value. If you’re looking for a great 4K monitor for gaming I would consider this one. It has hdmi 2.1 for Xbox and ps5 compatibility @ 120hz and 144hz for pc games. Running it with a 4090 and it’s just buttery. The stand is solid and has great cable management that looks low key. There’s also a ton of USB plug options and you can configure them to be powered even when the screen is off. This is great if you need to use them for a phone charger or anything similar. It is super bright in HDR mode and it’s a pretty fast monitor @ 1ms. I haven’t noticed much blooming either or any splotchy areas. I honestly have a hard time finding negatives. Maybe the only one is the menu is kind of clunky but nothing terrible. I’m nitpicking with that. I was going to get the newer LG with HDMI 2.1 but this was such a great value I decided to go with Acer. I honestly made the right choice.

> 24 hourEverything 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.

> 24 hourIve been waiting for a 1440p IPS 144Hz+ GSYNC monitor for awhile now after I got the GTX 980 Ti. Coming from a 60Hz Korean IPS monitor, the 120/144Hz with GSYNC makes a HUGE difference in terms of smoothness in desktop and in games (though the game Im playing is locked at 120 fps, I could feel the difference). Everything is so fluidly smooth and there is definitely less ghosting! As for image quality, the screen is beautiful, albeit some minor flaws. There are no dead pixels or dust and very minor BLB at the right corners, but the top 1/3rd of the screen does have a slight (1-3%) darker/yellow tint compares to the rest of the screen. I dont notice it most of the time, unless Im on a totally white screen and are focusing my eyes. Pictures and videos look really good after some (manual) calibration in the monitors RGB settings. Although, I would still say my Korean Yamakasi Catleap monitor is more vibrant (thanks to LGs more superior IPS display and its glass screen). One thing I notice is videos that are played on the XB271HU sometimes have a frames-jump effect (see the RIGHT side of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHPVDXwMxiA ). Turning Overdrive to OFF helps a lot, though it doesnt eliminate it totally. For this reason, I dont recommend buying the XB271HU mainly for watching movies (duh, this is a gaming monitor). Overall, I love this monitor, despite some of its flaws, and hope it will last me until 4K IPS 144Hz+ GSYNC becomes available, affordable, and is the norm for high-end gaming. Pros: -Beautiful 1440p IPS display. -144Hz GSYNC (can OC to 165Hz). -No dead pixels or dust. -Minor BLB at the top-right and bottom-right corner. -Three monitor presets that you can change anytime (I set my presets to 1-general, 2-gaming, and 3-movie). -Can display refresh rate number using OSD settings. -The base & stand are very sturdy and high quality (albeit a bit big). -Thin and sexy matte bezel. (The next best thing would be edge-to-edge no bezel design. Next one, Acer! :p) -Easier to clean than traditional monitors because the screen is flat from left to right (not raised bezel like traditional monitors where dust can get trap at the edges when cleaning). Cons: -Slight uniformity issue (1-3% darker/yellow tint on top 1/3rd of the screen). -Videos can have frames-jump effect (read above paragraphs). -OSD settings is a bit clunky and requires too many button pressings to change something. -Sometimes you have to press the power button several times to turn on/off (see tip below for a fix). -You have to assemble the base, stand, and monitor. -The bases depth is pretty long. (I have to leave it half hanging off my desk, so it wouldnt be too close to my face.) -Very expensive ($799 at the time of purchase). Other tidbits: 1) My first XB271HU has 2 dead pixels, which Amazon allows for a full refund. 2) Camping for this monitor was not cool. Availability for this monitor was/is so scarce. 3) Check overclock.net for useful stuff like RGB settings, ICC profile, etc. :) My OSD settings (manual eye calibration): Brightness & Contrast: 50 Gamma: 2.2 Color Temp -> User. R Gain: 97 G Gain: 97 B Gain: 100 Tip: Turn Quick start ON and Deep Sleep OFF to increase the power button responsiveness.

> 24 hourIve read many reviews pointing out how the buyer received a faulty monitor and had to return, with some even saying that they received 2-3 faulty monitors before finally getting a working product. It may just be luck, but Im happy to report I have none of the problems that are mentioned in other reviews. I even expected a little back bleed and/or ips glow, knowing that both are common with IPS monitors, but was surprised to see that neither are a problem, and can honestly say that with my naked eyes I cant see any back bleed at all, even in a black screen with the brightness cranked. I must point out though that Ive only owned the monitor for about a month and a half, so time will tell if the quality will degrade or not. As for the monitor itself, it is without a doubt, the nicest monitor Ive ever owned. Coming from a 1080p TN panel, the jump in color/picture accuracy asking with the jump in resolution was instantly noticeable, and is still impressive close to 2 months later. I bought this monitor while playing through Blood and Wine, and the look of the new bloom in Touissant was at best annoying, at worst downright ugly on my 144hz 1080p BenQ monitor, when compared to the base game. I couldnt understand how anybody could think it was beautiful, and for some, more-so than the base game. But then I got this monitor. Holy hell I had no idea what I was missing. The beauty of that game is completely wasted on a TN panel, and 1080p for that matter. The same is true for every other game Ive tested since getting this monitor. Using DSR to scale up to higher resolutions can help image quality, but is nowhere near as good as the real thing, not even close. TL;DR - Bottom line: if you can afford it, stop thinking about it, but it. I cant speak for those who received a faulty product, but with a perfect condition monitor, theres no way you wont be impressed.

> 24 hourSo I came from a 30fps BenQ 1080p 1ms monitor to this IPS monster, which is currently now second to a latest-model younger brother. I worked up a good amount of doubt and nervousness and yolo on the idea of the IPS lottery and having to return a unit that had too much backlight bleed, dead pixels, or other glitches. I will say that the 27 I got looks so much larger in screen size than my 27 BenQ. Im guessing its the beautifully thin bezels since my older monitor had 0.5+ on all sides which didnt bother me. As for the issues, I believe I got lucky. Im running DP 1.2 to a stock setting GTX 1080 with Gsync on and antialiasing off in games. I also customized the color settings profile based on a common set on Reddit for the IPS model. I ran a full color test and couldnt stop grinning through it all. A 4k video on YT made me almost smell the lush jungles and dusty lions on screen. I have ZERO dead pixels. No driver issues noted. As for backlight bleed, this IS an IPS monitor so there will be something. Alas, I do have a very small amount of BLB at the bottom right corner only that radiates approximately 3-4 inches when the screen is black or presenting a dark image. In all honesty, though, that was the only time I really ever noticed it. I have forgotten it was there until writing this review. Doesnt bother me in the least. I will say that this model has an issue that some experience with a very narrow vertical strip of pixels being transposed from generally the center of the screen to the right edge of the screen. I have experienced this myself twice since Ive owned it and the only thing I needed to do is use the power button to cycle off/standby then on and the issue resolved. Very minor inconvenience that has occurred at or near startup. Would I recommend this monitor? If you have the $$$ and will use it as more than a daily web surfing monitor, and dont already have a solid IPS monitor from something like Dells competitor, then go for it. I have a new higher standard I am now used to and dont really ever remember this reality until I look at a 1080p monitor again. Otherwise, 1440p at 144hz is my new norm. The idea then becomes: you dont really ever know how privileged you are until you arent. Even a constant miracle will eventually be taken for granted as just normal and expected. We become desensitized to our current wonders. So to is the beauty of this monitor. In other words, dont bankrupt yourself on peripherals and upgrades that youll eventually become desensitized to. Save up, wait for a sale, then jump on this monitor. Enjoy the journeys taken in life, dont grind yourself to the bone to try and keep up with bleeding edge tech when youll only end up eventually replacing it one day. Of course, if youve got the $$$, then have fun with it.
