Review on Acer XV252Q Fbmiiprx: High-Performance 360Hz FreeSync Monitor with 24.5" IPS Display, HD Resolution, HDMI Connectivity by Francis Skinner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you're looking for the fastest, best competitive monitor available today, look no further!

I bought this monitor after some YouTubers said things that are too good to be true. I shopped into the hype and I'm so glad I did! I don't have a problem with DyAc+, I had/have a 240hz Asus XG258Q (now a third monitor) which I was very impressed with. However, at the fastest acceleration, there were fairly obvious halos that are more noticeable in some games than others, and especially in certain areas or scenes. Another thing is that the color was average (again, you get used to it) but this is a TN panel after all, so that's to be expected. Now moving on to the Nitro panel - IPS, 360Hz (overdrive to 390Hz) and VRB at a FULL 390Hz with no noticeable input lag. Of course not. However, magic exists. Incredible. The IPS panel delivers much deeper colors than my TN, is faster than the Asus XG258Q, and doesn't have any ghosting as far as I can see. Absolute magic. Even games that can't hit the 390fps mark look a lot smoother and more immersive, for example Apex Legends which I cap at 240 but still smoother than my 240Hz monitor. Just beautiful. The monitor also has a "Super Sharpness" feature which when turned on removes the blurring effect and sometimes confuses me that this isn't 1440p. turns off automatically every time you turn off your computer. Make sure to turn it back on every time you boot up your PC. People also mention the brightness with Extreme VRB as a downside and that is indeed the case, but after tweaking some settings I feel like this isn't an issue and it's still pretty bright. .All in all the best monitor I have ever used. Now if you are looking for the best panel for competitive gaming, this is it!
