Acer's smooth operator is ready for war
Excellent gaming performance ; Superb IPS panel ; G-Sync enables fast refresh rates
Limited connectivity ; Lacks Nvidia's 3D Vision mode ; Uninspired design

After many, many years of only incremental improvements consisting of nothing more than 'the new generation is 1ms faster than the last' PC gaming
The conclusions in our G-SYNC monitor reviews have typically followed a preset path: the offerings offered superlative gaming experiences
Expert review by : Brad Bourque (digitaltrends.com)
The Acer XB270HU is a top-notch display with a great feature set for gamers, but the price tag puts it in league with 4K displays, including Acer's own.
If you’re looking for a new gaming monitor to upgrade from your 1080p to something higher resolution, this Acer is a solid choice if money is no object. Most gamers have a budget of some sort, though, and the $800 price tag on this display will take a...

Expert review by : Eric Franklin (cnet.com.au)
Acer has announced two new G-Sync monitors, each with a unique feature intended to grab the attention of hardcore PC gamers.
The Acer XB270HU and XG270HU will begin shipping globally in March 2015. Pricing has yet to be announced.

Acer's XB270HU is one of the only IPS screens that can run at 144Hz. We'll see how the G-Sync monitor fares in our video performance and gaming tests.
G-Sync, 144Hz, QHD resolution, IPS/AHVA panel, ULMB blur-reduction, accurate color, grayscale and gamma, excellent contrast, bright picture
Blur-reduction is non-adjustable, expensive
There’s no doubt that an IPS monitor is preferable to a TN one when it comes to ultimate image quality and off-axis viewing. Acer has produced a screen to lust for in the XB270HU. With G-Sync, a stable 144Hz refresh rate, QHD resolution and a superb...
Expert review by : Stefan Etienne (laptopmemo.com)
Gaming monitors require three things: excellent resolution, a fast refresh rate and popping colors. The 27-inch Acer XB at WQHD resolution (2,560 x 1440) on an IPS panel has all of those things, plus one: Nvidia's G-Sync technology. That dear reader,...
Buttery smooth gaming performance (thanks to 144hz and G-Sync); Vibrant and sharp 1440p IPS display; Versatile stand
Logo throws design off a bit; Lots of bezel
If you can look past the logo — and the price, considering it nears 4K monitor price ranges — then you will be welcomed to a world of smooth videos, precise editing, accurate and vibrant color representation and gaming so fluid and lifelike that the...

Acer made one of the best gaming monitors ever with its XB270HU. An IPS-based QHD resolution with NVIDIA G-Sync provides an awesome experience.
