Review on Acer XV273K Pbmiipphzx: Ultra HD 4K Gaming Monitor with DisplayHDR400, 144Hz & Built-In Speakers by Kris Cook

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Meh.over hyped. the best in my rating

I wanted to love this monitor. When I first received it, I was amazed at the resolution. So clear and amazing. Then came the falls. I bought this for gaming. Most games, even with the monitor set to its native 120Hz refresh rate, experienced continuous screen tearing and ghosting above 60fps. I had to run vsync and cap FPS to 60 to get rid of tearing. This completely eliminates the purpose of this monitor. Also hdr didn't work for me. When turned on, all windows became very gray and blurry. When you try to activate in games, the game crashes. The monitor itself is also very cheap. It weighs less than my 24" 1080p Dell monitor that I use as a second monitor. It's like demonstrating a non-working floor. Very cheap. The RGB at the bottom of the screen has its own mind. It turns on and off whenever it wants. This will also change the colors/settings you set without your input. Super annoying. In conclusion, I believe this technology is not where it should be. It sounds great on paper, but in reality the performance leaves a lot to be desired. Get a 3440 x 1440 100Hz+ ultrawide monitor and be happy!
