What customers say about "Key Specs"

Acer XF270HU IPS Monitor

Even 1440p resolution over my other 1920x1200 monitor at 60Hz is a nice change of pace.
The best 1440p Freesync IPS monitor available at this time.
Good 1440p resolution. Highly recommended monitor.
The resolution affords a much crisper, detail-ladden picture.
Wow, such a great monitor with good resolution.

Acer XG270HU Widescreen Monitor

The screen is magnificent. At 144Hz, you can really see the difference when playing fast paced games like Doom and Overwatch.
The 2K resolution is a nice bump up from the 1080p screen I was using. It does take some tweaking of the display options to read small text at that resolution.
This screen is a great budget option if you're looking to play games at a higher resolution and get a higher refresh rate.
2K resolution in Overwatch looks just sublime as well as in other gorgeous games like Witcher 3. Bear in mind, your video card will take a hit bumping up to 2K resolution from 1080.
The resolution is at the Sweet spot of 2560x1440 refresh rate of 144hz and response time of 1 ms is Winning for me.

What customers say about "Display"

Acer XF270HU IPS Monitor

Beautiful, crisp colors. I like it.
Super crisp colors and display.
Default color accuracy is a tiny warm, but toning down the green a little brings the whites into balance.
The back light bleed isn't bad, and colors are great.
The speakers were tinny, the colors were meh, and the black were horrible and "crushed".

Acer XG270HU Widescreen Monitor

The brightness was a bit high and the colors not that good out of the box but I was able to tune it to the point where it looks pretty close to my previous ips monitor.
I like it. It's bright. It's sharp. It has lots of contrast. As far as I can tell, it's humming along at a screaming 144 Hertz.
he color, contrast, and viewing angles are quite good for a TN panel, and the response time excellent. In games requiring quick response time, I noticed no perceptible lag.
As others have said, yeah, it ships with super high contrast. A little fiddling and it's fine.
As everyone says its too bright and colors are not well setup after unbox, but its got a huge way of customization from brights to colors so you wont have issues with that.

What customers say about "Features"

Acer XF270HU IPS Monitor

Best features (I loved its in-game features including the sharpening boost).
High quality frame, stand takes minimal desk space while still being quite solid and flexible.
This monitor is the best combination of features.
Amazing monitor. Good features for me.
Monitor speakers are fairly low-quality. Still a nice feature, but for something of this price I expected a bit better.

Acer XG270HU Widescreen Monitor

Right out of the box, monitor was very easy to set up - the stand screws on to the base and locks in place nicely and sturdily.
I find my self using the speakers more often than I thought I would, too, and they're not half bad either.
It has speakers but I can't understand why, cause they're not good, not good at all.
My only issues with this monitor are that it doesn't have VESA mount points.
The screen can be a bit wobbly on the stand as the neck only goes in about an inch into the bottom of the screen.

Was really easy to get set up in 1440p 144hz w/freesync goodness. Easy connect.
Attractive and very easy to adjust height and angle. Good connectivity. I like it.
Excellent quality monitor with easy connect.
USB ports on monitor and slot for cables in stand minimizes cord clutter.

Acer XG270HU Widescreen Monitor

The box came with a DisplayPort cable (I'm currently using it), a HDMI cable, an aux cable, and a Dual Link DVI cable.
Comes with HDMI and DP cables as well, so no need to buy separately.
This also came with a DVI-D, HDMI, DP & 3.5mm audio cable.
It has all the ports you would want (HDMI, DVI, and display port).
