Review on Acer XV272U Xbmiipruzx Splendor Display - 1440p Agile Gaming Monitor by Brandon Peterson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very bad flicker and afterimage.

I originally gave this monitor 5 stars but after a few weeks I returned this monitor. I noticed a lot of flickering in the vertical lines, resulting in a transient afterimage. I even switched the predator xb273u gx (nitro twin) to a new bar and had the same issues. I'm still not entirely sure what the problem is. I went through the troubleshooting support hotline and as a result they asked me to send the monitor in for repair. Instead, I brought her back to the micro center. I even tested them on a separate computer and had the same flickering and afterimage. The issue seems to occur during sequence loading (e.g. queuing for a game) or real-time update (e.g. a stock trading app). before returning the monitor. I hope it was just a bad batch or something. I liked those monitors other than this one, but it was a pretty big problem. So when you buy, keep that in mind. I hope you have better luck than me.

Pros
