Review on πŸ–₯️ Acer XG270HU 27" FREESYNC Widescreen Monitor with Tilt Adjustment and 2560X1440P Resolution - XG270HU Omidpx by Fred Reed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great TN panel and great features for the price :-)

I've spent a few hours with this monitor since unboxing it. Out of the box, the brightness setting is crazy, but it looks way better when lowered to 40-50. I'm still tweaking some color settings etc, but overall color reproduction and brightness are impressive for a TN panel, and that's coming from a 24-inch 1080p IPS panel with excellent color reproduction. The sharpness and sharpness offered by this screen due to the 1ms response time is great, and the size of the monitor combined with the thin frame makes for a great picture. The orange-bronze color of the frame and stand is generally a question of preference, but I personally like them. Super sharpening should also be disabled, as should ACM, if you want to maintain a constant contrast ratio and also not have edges on still images that look unrealistically harsh. The 2K resolution in Overwatch just looks great as it does in other great games like The Witcher 3. Remember that with 1080 your graphics card needs to be able to handle 2K resolution. Working with a 4GB GTX 970 does the job well enough for now, but I can't currently support 2K resolution AND higher frame rates. 70-80 depending on the game, sometimes 50-60 in more intense games like The Witcher 3. This will likely be fixed with the GTX 1070/1080 this summer, but games still look great in the meantime.
