The true test of whether the PG27UQ is, in fact, worth the price of a small car, will come when Acer release their Predator X27, which shouldn’t be too much longer after this one comes out on June 29. As much as I like the PG27UQ, there’s no way I can possibly recommend it as something you should buy right this second until I’ve seen what Acer’s got in store. After all, when both monitors share such similar specs, these two screens are destined for the kind of the long-term rivalry that only thorough testing could possibly hope to untangle.
If you really can’t wait, of course, then by all means go for it if you’ve got the cash. While I continue to have a few reservations about the overall quality of the panel’s DCI-P3 coverage, there’s no denying that this is still a tasty, tasty screen if, like me, you’ve been dying to play Final Fantasy XV in all its 4K triple stacked ham, battered barramundi and horntooth meat pie HDR glory ever since you found out it was coming to PC. For everyone else, though, it’s time to play the ever-enjoyable waiting game until the Predator X27 rocks up at the RPS Treehouse.
