How long does it generally take for your full reviews to appear on the site? Wont be buying this monitor because its about £300 over my budget but i'm still really keen to see how these high refresh rate IPS screens fair :)

Looks nice. I prefer the appearance of this to the other Acer in this thread. Although the one in the image there is TN apparently, on Googling :(.

I think the XB270HU does look rather ugly physically. Now if it had the body of the HU... :eek:
 
i need a bit of time to test it all. I can tell you it's PWM free at all brightness settings, has a light AG coating, has ULMB mode, easily recognises and supports refresh rates including 60, 85, 100, 120, 144Hz. It has only a DisplayPort input and several USB ports. the OSD menu is pretty nice and works well, seems to have some good quick launch menu options too.

more once i've had chance to test it :)

That's a shame, was hoping this was accurate on the geforce site.

"In addition to its G-SYNC and IPS technology, the Acer XB270HU is a fully featured monitor, offering just about every extra you could hope for. Starting from the top, the screen can be height adjusted, titled, rotated into Portrait, and VESA wall mounted. On the side there’s the required DisplayPort 1.2 output for G-SYNC, plus HDMI and DVI outputs for game consoles and other devices, as well as audio out and two USB 3.0 ports for accessories or storage."

As I have long maintained, that was simply Andrew Burnes or an acquaintance of his misreading the Acer press release which mentions two distinct models.
 
I'm following this monitor quite closely and hopefully putting a pre-order in once this review goes up. As abit of a monitor noob could someone explain the advantages/disadvantages of the gloss vs matte screens? Is this a deal breaker or is it more of a personal preference thing?
