Review on Acer XV272U Xbmiipruzx Splendor Display - 1440p Agile Gaming Monitor by Kevin Shankar

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Honestly, I would avoid these monitors.

I bought 3 of these monitors for a triple screen setup. A year and a half later, this is my most regrettable computer-related purchase of all time. Let me be clear that most of the time they don't flicker, but any time you're displaying something dark (like many sites do these days) or something standing with a black or dark background, there's a good chance you will either experience the proverbial flicker or the infamous flicker + burn-in/short to medium term image retention. Everyone says the solution is to disable the Black Boost feature in the OSD, but I can also 100% confirm that if you want to take advantage of HDR on these monitors you will lose the ability to toggle or adjust this option. Buy another 240Hz HDR IPS monitor for that money and avoid the potential headaches that come with long-term ownership. Unfortunately I'm stuck on three of those things, all three have the same issues and keep playing in the same conditions, and I just want to wait until Aliware or some other company develops 240Hz IPS.

Pros
  • 270 Hertz
Cons
  • Limited viewing angles.
