Come on, give us the release date already! I'm hoping this is the monitor I've been looking for. The Dell is amazing but I need an IPS after experiencing the PG279Q.

VA is best imo, but IPS is really good too.

If a 1400p 144Hz VA Gsync came out, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Isn't VA considered sub-optimal for gaming due to slow response and greater input lag? Been a while since I looked into it but last I checked the VA panels had slightly worse colour reproduction than IPS whilst also having slower response and more lag. Could well be wrong on that, though!

After this monitor (one of either the PG279Q, XB271HU or S2716DG) I'm holding out for OLED!

VA is horrible, nasty colour shift, black crush, over saturated colours, no detail within shadow areas, worse motion clarity than IPS etc etc. For gaming I'd take an 8 bit TN over it every time, this is coming from a previous Eizo fioris owner.

VA tvs can be quite decent. Sony's VA tvs are quite good for gaming.

I have a Dell 2407WFP went to the TN Swift, apart from gsync, I was glad to be back with my dell, it slaughtered the swift in nearly every department.

Sorry I should have said SPVA rather than VA

Ashendie · 10 Dec 2015 at 12:42

Still no ETA. Must have some idea by now surely.

I wasn't gonna bother with this one after the all the crap with the previous one but early reports seem pretty good.

Missing G-sync right now!

The 4k variant is coming on the 14th December...maybe this one will arrive then too?

grumpybeard · 11 Dec 2015 at 07:18

I'm hoping these will turn out good, gagging to move up to 1440 from 1080, any decent reviews published yet?

gazujii · 11 Dec 2015 at 08:36

a similar named site to this in the US have lots of positive user reviews

if it was arriving that soon then we would have known about it a long time ago. I doubt we will see it before christmas :mad:

Doing some testing. I haven't aligned/curved the panels yet so that's why the bezel gaps appear different size. Once I'm done, they will all appear thin like the right side.

LambChop · 11 Dec 2015 at 13:40

Good god. That looks awesome.

Vega, what are your thoughts on the new 271's ?

JediFragger · 11 Dec 2015 at 14:07

Vega - That.Is.Immense :eek:

grumpybeard · 11 Dec 2015 at 16:20

Awesome. You got 5 good panels? In one go?

Vega · 12 Dec 2015 at 00:41

Yes, this should be the most epic Surround setup to date.

I have to agree. Thoughts on the panels so far?

AdrianIscariot · 12 Dec 2015 at 12:11

I think the fact that Vega was able to land 5 good panels (out of 5!) speaks volumes for the advances Acer have made in terms of QC. This isn't just a lazy firmware change, the whole mounting process is much more advanced.

Also, yeah, that set-up is just nuts. Been following your threads at the other forum and have never failed to be completely amazed.
