Review on Acer XZ273U Pbmiiphx Zero Frame FreeSync 165Hz Curved Gaming Monitor with πŸ–₯️ Height Adjustment, High Dynamic Range, and HDMI Connectivity For Stunning 2560X1440 HD Visuals. by Matt Schmidt

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The 27-inch curved-screen model did SO well back then.

Got this monitor on sale for about $270 + tax and dammit I stole it! No dead pixels, great gaming features, nice bright screen with great colors, seamless integration with my Radeon 5700Xt graphics card, etc. But then, not much later, I noticed a thin line of light appearing at the top of the screen where the display meets on the bezel. The split quickly became a little clearer, and I can see the screen is curved at the split point (or vice versa?). The real bummer about this situation is that when I send this monitor back I will actually be out of service for about a week and a half. This may not bother some people, but it's just an annoyance I don't need. I would therefore advise avoiding this monitor unless you think poor quality control is just an accident - I have no way of knowing. Otherwise, it's probably worth full price. Originally I was only going to give it two stars but it really is such a good monitor despite the annoyance I'm now facing.

Pros
  • Frameless design | 2 speakers, 3W per speaker
Cons
  • Unresponsive touch screen
