So then *rolls up sleeves*

Possibility here of 5120x2880 @ 144hz with G-Sync and a proper 10bit IPS panel? Not bad but i can nitpick a fault as amazing as that setup sounds.

4k @120mhz is not going to happen until we see DP1.3 in products (there's support for dual 4k@60mhz in the 1.3 spec) as V1.2 simply dos'nt have the bandwith.

144mhz will probably need a new display port version after that. Anyway you need a small render farm to game at that resolution a speed. Unless all you play is CS:S or Quake 3 :)

There is no confirmation of ULMB. That was a hang-over from the old article about the XB270HU in its original form, so I'll clarify in the article. The article was originally about the XB270HU as it was in the initial Acer roadmap - a TN panel supporting the usual G-SYNC + related features such as ULMB.

According to NVIDIA, the XB270HU will support ULMB after all!

Let's hope this too is not a carry over from the old article, when this monitor was slated to be TN-based
 
"The only question that remains then, is “when can I buy one?!” The answer: February. Keep an eye on e-tailer websites in the meantime, though; when the XB270HU goes up for pre-order later this month it’s sure to sell out fast."

February as well , but ill be happy with march

That's what the mmonitor manufacturer is declaring. Go to any TFTCentral review of an IPS/VA panel that's rated so fast and the text always contains something like this:

"Acer rates this IPS panel as having a 4ms GTG response time, which indicates the use of overdrive top speed up the pixels."

They then do in-depth testing of several color transitions, at different refresh rates and overdrive modes if applicable. The conclusion is always that - for typical use scenarios and at settings that do not render the image or motion unusable - the real response time on average is actually closer to 12ms. More often than not, this corresponds very closely to what the original panel supplier declares in their own specs.

So, until a proper review has been done, ignore the marketing. The most we can hope for in the interim is confirmation about the exact panel used. When we have that, we can at least check what response time the panel manufacturer quotes, and how it compares
